An Australian-themed seafront bar in Newquay is set to begin a new chapter under a distinctly Cornish identity, as family-run Healeys Cyder launches Rattler Beach House.

The venue, formerly Walkabout, is being transformed into the first dedicated home of Rattler. And it’s a fitting location as more Rattler is enjoyed in Newquay than anywhere else in Cornwall.
The opening marks the latest stage in the growth of the Rattler brand, one of Cornwall’s most recognisable drinks. It further strengthens Healeys’ expansion into a wider hospitality business, rooted in Cornwall’s coastal culture and visitor economy.
“Rattler has always been about bringing people together and celebrating everything that’s great about Cornwall, so opening Rattler Beach House feels like a natural next step for the brand,” said Joe Healey, managing director of Healeys Cornish Cyder Farm.
“We wanted to create somewhere relaxed, welcoming, and full of character — somewhere you can head after the beach, meet your mates, enjoy great food, watch live sport, and discover everything Rattler has to offer.”
Rattler Beach House will offer the full Rattler range, including Original, fruit variants, and alcohol-free options, alongside seasonal food, live sport, music, and entertainment. It builds on the success of Gylly Beach Café and Fives Cyder House on Falmouth’s waterfront, and forms part of the Healey family’s continued investment in Cornwall’s hospitality sector.
Healey added: “At a time when many hospitality businesses continue to face rising costs and challenging trading conditions, our new venue opening represents a notable vote of confidence in Cornwall’s economy and coastal towns, which remain key surf and tourism destinations.
“We’re so excited to be investing in Cornwall and to be helping bring even more life, energy, and great experiences to the seafront with Rattler by the sea”
