Artist Residence Clubhouse in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Small portions and very expensive wine over priced

We had a pleasant breakfast here, the full Cornish was tasty and the staff very friendly!

Tried to book online and couldn't get a table, yet called and got in at a time that worked for us. Tip: don't rely on 3rd party booking systems. Great beer selection and chose off the Specials Board. I'll leave the picture of my dinner here 🙌. Two tiny ribs in my pork belly ribs, with masses of melt in the mouth pork! Great 👍

Excellent lunch with our foodie chums who live in Newlyn. This is a lovely spot, relaxing and unhurried. great service, good food ( very fresh fish ) and excellent value for money.

Loved that we happened upon this spot in uptown Penzance (away from the very busy harbor promenade). We had lamb meal and a steak meal. Both delicious. Service was excellent. Big plus is that they serve dinner on Sunday evenings (many places here do not. Very fun art throughout the place

Very tasty food and helpful staff. Very accommodating of coeliac needs.

Would have been 5* were it not for this manipulative message. Good job management!

Great atmosphere, great music, great food and staff were really welcoming and friendly.

I was looking for a cool place where I feel comfortable as a queer. And then *bam* I bumped into Marco Marketing from work... So yes, this is the place where you meet other queer tourists in a nice setting with good food and beer.

Two for dinner, very tasty food. After a full day, we both had room for three courses. All six dishes were lovely. Great flavour combinations, will go again next time we are in town.

I visited here for the first time and ended up having both lunch and dinner. The food was simply amazing, being vegetarian I could only order salad, sandwich and Tacos, they were all delicious. Had never come across roasted squash in a salad and it was very good, the portions were smaller though and I was left craving for more :) The service was really good too, the ambience very cosy

Lovely restaurant. Nice food. Good service. Delicious cocktails! A bit funky, and comfortable seating. Highly recommend.

Really cozy warm atmosphere. The lunch combo is a perfect size with a nice selection of yummy sandwiches at a good price. The service was exceptional, will be back if I’m in the area again.

Steak was over cooked and food was a little plain, the atmosphere was great and service lovely. The plaice was okay as well.

Disappointing - food took 40 odd minutes to arrive. Not a massive problem, but no one came to tell us they were busy, explain the delay, or even ask if we wanted more drinks. I had to chase (twice). When the food came it was massively underwhelming. £4.50 for a bowl of what looked like and tasted like McCaine Fries. Chicken was dry - with no sight of 'jus' as per the menu. Kids burgers consisted of half a burger cut in two. They took a bit of money off at the end - my £6 beer, I think - which was appreciated. But still left with a bad taste in my mouth.

Excellent vegan nut roast and alcohol free drink options, lovely attentive staff too.

I was by myself and felt welcome and not a ‘nuisance’, lovely presented and delicious cocktail, good tasty food, worth the bit extra in price

Delicious skate. Friendly service. Seemed a little crowded with tables close to each other but actually fine when seated. We will go here again.

A pleasant environment, kind service, multi-ethnic food.

Came in for dinner, the fish of the day and scallops were absolutely amazing! Very fresh and cooked to perfection! Wonderful service from Jane as well, very welcoming and friendly!

This is a great place for amazing food and really good drinks. It is a little pricey but a great option for a nice date night out. Will hopefully be going back when back in town. Penzance is a great town, with great food and this is a must stop for a cool vibe for a visit.

The food was delicious however was not terribly impressed with the food portions which were on the smaller end even for a fairly upscale venue. Wasn’t exactly filling and left a bit disappointed.

We had a delicious meal at the Artist Residence Clubhouse in July 2020 on our mini moon. My husband enjoyed the cocktails and we both indulged in the steaks for dinner. The wine selection was good, too. The steaks were cooked absolutely perfectly and they were full of flavour. The clean interiors and vibrant colours used in the restaurant felt homely and welcoming. Definitely fitting for the Cornish life! @kirbystaltari

Great atmosphere, cozy and warm place to have a chat. Try the hot chocolate with Rum😋 warms you inside out 😏

Booked a Sunday lunchtime slot with a friend. We both had the slow roast beef. I had chosen this place because I was searching for somewhere for a roast dinner, where the meat wasn’t roasted, chilled, carved and reheated. We were not disappointed. The meat was fantastic, freshly cooked, melted in the mouth and the flavour was amazing. Staff said it was cooked for 12 hours. Obviously not rare but a cheaper cut, looked like a brisket which packs flavour. I love that sort of meat. A very generous portion too. The gravy was the best I had ever tasted in a restaurant for a Sunday lunch. Not a generic gravy but a rich dark gravy that totally reflected the meat flavour. The vegetables were beautifully cooked and plentiful. Carrots, parsnips, cabbage and creamy leeks. Staff were very helpful and accommodating. We asked for more gravy and more horseradish sauce and it was brought with a smile. It was simply the best roast dinner I have eaten in a restaurant in years. I don’t usually bother to write reviews but this was exceptional. The roast was 17.00 so not the cheapest around but well worth paying if you like good food. I had a sticky toffee pudding -which I didn’t need but couldn’t resist- which was also delicious. As a bonus it was a quiet building where I could hear myself speak, and hear what my friend was saying, which is so rare these days. A bit of me is reluctant to post this for fear of bookings going mad and me not being able to get a table next time but it deserves celebrating. Thank you.

We had reserved a table a long time in advance, which makes sense. Food was pretty good. The mussels were especially great. However, the price is also a bit higher.

We had dinner here our first night in Cornwall. Because we came without reservation, we were seated in the cozy bar area. This was good as we sat near orher friendly diners and had nice chats with locals who provided us with a number of good tips. The food was unexpectedly delicious. I had sole and ny hubby, Korean fried chicken burger. A fun casual place to introduce us to the more creative cooking than we had expected in England.

Lovely place, with very good food and drinks. Nice, bright and comfortable dining space with lots of quirky arty touches that make it unique. Service was impeccable.

Service was not very good And food was just okay

Nice ambiance, delicious and imaginative dishes, good choice of vines and drinks and very friendly staff, I really recommend this place.

Really disappointed as we had a table booked for 7:30 this evening, but got turned away as we had cash only. So went up the road to enjoy a meal and spent £212 pounds. Your loss sad times!!

Been coming for years but not a good experience this time , poor service and lack of overall care let them down , left before desert having waited 25 minutes for a menu . Would think twice before returning.

Excellent service and steak meal, very welcoming, high standard of hygiene and a lovely well looked after place would definitely recommend you try it,my friend recommended it to me.will definitely go again soon couldn't fault the staff or place.

Excellent service and great food. Fish taco and the Korean chicken burgers were epic. Big thanks for accommodating for our dog!!

Amazing food. Excellent service. Have te steak. Its to die for.

Just love this place great atmosphere friendly staff and different to every where else

Amazing food and ambiance , can't wait to visit again 😋

Lovely decor with a cosy vibe. We chose it because it was dog friendly and the menu selection looked good. Overall food was ok (we went here twice so tried a few things). Was a little hard to get hold of them over the phone to confirm our reservations. But definitely worth a visit if you’re in Penzance!

The website needs to state when they are fully booked, only that you can reserve a table for more than 7 people. So therefore when we arrived at the restaurant thinking you can walk in they said they were full, such a let down as when we tried to call there was no answer.

No no no I walked past it stop this false publicity it's misleading when I walk past Holloway Prison it doesn't mean I've been there !

Dog friendly, vegan / nut free options (allergy aware) and managed to fit us in for a table last minute (although strongly recommend that you book!). We really enjoyed the butternut squash salad and the staff were a friendly bunch - made us feel welcomed! Would eat here again!

Spent a dreamy Sunday afternoon sipping cocktails at The AR Clubhouse. Addicted to the limoncello & thyme sours!

This review is for the garden snack bar during a 12:30 lunch Of the very limited menu of 7 or so items, they were out of 3 of the seafood options (including prawns on ice) The waitress then later told another table that there were 5 more prawns available, but neglected mentioning it to our table. I had to ask for it myself. The prawns were ok, but the waitress did not bring a separate plate for the heads and peels...the staff just seemed like they didn’t care much about the experience. No one checked on us nor bothered to see if maybe we wanted the awning over our table as we were sitting in direct sun. I would not recommend to friends.

Friendly & professional staff, superb cocktails & fabulous food! Always welcoming with a great atmosphere! The chef here is very talented with a good selection on the menu - cannot recommend highly enough.

Lovely place to visit. I live the decor and the professional friendly staff. Great food and lovely cocktails. I highly recommend a visit. OK I am local but I've tried and tested many places near and far.

Great outdoor sitting cozy vibe for this boutique restaurant. Great food, though slightly overpriced, but totally worth it.

Extremely over priced. Paid over £50 for a meal that was almost insubstantial. I asked if they could bring a slice of bread just to help fill me up but they refused and I was told “the chef says we won’t do bread singly”. Would not recommend if you want food, but they might be okay if you are just after drinks. The staff however are not helpful.

Service was very nice, the terrace is perfect but the lobster roll has only the name of it, we could not taste the losbter BC of the sauce, and there was some sand in the mussels (taste was great though). Maybe just the wrong day, the other customers seamed very happy.

We went for Sunday Roast and we ordered the Beef Brisket. The meat was delicious and really enjoyed the gravy with roasted veggies. I tried an IPA local beer from Cornwall that was very tasty (and not too strong). The waiters were friendly too. Recommended!

Fantastic place for breakfast. Very relaxed, friendly staff, great ambience and really good food.

Nice staff, great atmosphere and good food (try the white chocolate cheesecake!)

Very tasty fresh whole bass from a select evening menu. Nice setting and design. Staff attentive & friendly.

Love it here. We are visiting Penzance and went here for afternoon drinks and dinner. Great vibe and interior design. Vegan chocolate pot is spectacular.

Fab food. First time I've been and won't be the last.

The food is amazing. We went for a late lunch and instead of ordering two big meals we ordered one main and a few things from the ‘Small Plates’ menu. It worked out perfectly and there was more than enough food. Cocktails were great too!

Great food, dog friendly, reasonable price. Worth a visit

If you’re a jazzy, soft piano music enthusiast and want to forget about world; this is the place for you. The music is so soothing, service impeccable and the food incredibly delicious. I highly recommend this place!

Food was ok (would not come back for it, there are much better options in Penzance), drinks were good but I really liked the interior.

Fab breakfast, delicious coffee and eggs! Will be back for proper visit soon.

We were here for both dinner and breakfast. The food for dinner was great; I highly recommend the macaroni cheese. Breakfast was a little underwhelming - my pancakes tasted fine but the serving size and presentation were disappointing. Service was a little slow but friendly both times. I'd definitely return for dinner.

From the moment you arrive the staff is very welcoming. The food was fantastic and our server Abbie was by far one of the best I have seen. This is what I wish I had at every restaurant. Would gladly go back.

Tacos were great. Recommend eating outside if they have any room.

Fantastic place food room staff all awesome :-)

Staff were lovely. We went just for brunch. However, having seen the premises we've started to consider staying at one of their places if we ever go to another city with one of these

We love the Cornish Barn. Beer great. Staff very welcoming and friendly. They have an excellent menu and in the summer it's great to enjoy your beer in the comfortable out door space. Highly recommended.

Excellent food , amazing and friendly service. A nice way too spend 24th wedding Anniversary.

Lovely lunch good service and food friendly as well

The Cornish Barn has a warm and cosy feel to it without being old or dated- it’s got character. Our server Jack was brilliant( as was the rest of the team)- never ignored but not smothered by constant requests either... just right. Then there is the food- the best Pork ribs I have had in many years and make the drive from London worth it alone! Lovely local beers and topped off with a desert my wife loved- the sticky toffee pudding. I’d recommend a visit and I’m confident you won’t be disappointed

I've had mixed experiences with the Cornish Barn over the years, but this visit was great. Food was well cooked, tasty and staff friendly, great place to go and enjoy some quality nosh...

The Cornish Barn has a varied menu, with both our meals being delicious, but not exceptional. The staff were nice, and it was generally a clean place with a unique feel to it. My main gripe was that it was a little pricey for my liking, but not extortionate.

Enjoyed brunch with friends, lovely food and friendly staff , will be back !

Lovely food but while I was going to the bathroom a very greasy looking kitchen porter with funny hair chased me in. This was around two weeks ago and I haven't come back since for fear of the big blue Man coming back x

Excellent drinks, excellent coffee, excellent Sunday lunch, brilliant desserts. Also excellent giant poster of 192 Minifigures. Cool place. Dog friendly. The one we met had a very fetching scarf, like a pirate. Good doggo. Top stuff.

Service was really slow, they put us on a tiny table. Food portions are small and expensive

Amazing. The food is innovative yet sensible and very tasty. The waiting stuff very competent and friendly. definitely recommend and will go again

Nice place for lunch at a reasonable price

Friendly staff and great food. Lovely spot for some evening drinks with their warm wood burner.

Nice place to eat, bit pricey and you need to order sides to complete your meal which add to the meal price. Wish id been informed of this. I went home hungry and had toast for supper. Service was slowish but it was busy.

Lovely friendly service good food

Amazing food, gorgeous fun decor..friendlt staff x

We went for breakfast, it was ok. My partner has the full English and was still hungry after. It’s like £10, you get one sausage, one bacon, one toast etc. Not really what he was dreaming of when we’re going to spend a full day walking around the hilly places along the coast. I had the veggie breakfast which was weird. The scrambled eggs were really snotty, I know people like them like that but I prefer them cooked through. There was wilted spinach on it, which was unseasoned. There was a smashed avocado, then beans. There was too much ‘wet’ stuff and all combined just wasn’t very nice. Apart from the eggs (which is my preference) everything was cooked quite well, I just don’t think you get a lot for your money and the veggie breakfast needs revamping.

Came for lunch last week..we sat in the back room with some other people.. . Service was poor.. For these prices I would expect table service... Waited an hour for our food, when delivered we didn't see anybody to clear our plates and offer any deserts or coffee... The food was exceptional but very pricey...sorry but I won't be returning for food and definitely wouldn't recommend my customers unless service improved.

Best chicken wings around, nice cocktails 🍸

Really really good food!! The staff were excellent and really accomodating with our baby. Thumbs up and will certainly return.

A great pub to shelter wet tourists on a rainy day. We only had coffee there.

Excellent food in a funky bistro setting. I had the beer can chicken which was delicious. Everyone else in our party reported top marks for the food. Thoroughly recommend this place.

Lovely place to eat and drink. Most enjoyable

Was expecting more. I had the buttermilk chicken burger with avocado and chips. No GF bun only GF bread, as I am sensitive to gluten, not intolerant, I said I'd have it as it came and my husband ate the bun. The chicken was overcooked and dry, the avocado wasn't seasoned and the chips were mostly all small and crispy. Did not feel the size of the burger was value for money. My husband and son had the sweet potatoe, coconut and chilli soup with sourdough bread. They said the bread was very tasty but the coconut in the soup overpowered the sweet potatoe; the chilli was the right amount. Won't be in a rush to go back.

This is a place to drink, and maybe snack, for young affluent people. The service is a bit chaotic, despite there being lots of waiters and busboys. We waited an hour for our food, which wasn't really worth the wait. The decor is I suppose hip, but what are plastic plants doing here?!

Great food, cosy atmosphere and friendly staff! A very enjoyable dinner

What a fantastic meal. Great service. Fantastic food, good value. Overall a great evening in a chilled and very friendly environment. Would definitely recommend. Best food I ve had in ages.

This place is really trendy and the food is delicious. We have eaten here a few times when visiting Penzance. The breakfast/brunch menu is particularly good. The only thing preventing me giving it 5 stars is the service could be quicker and friendlier.

Gorgeous little terrace outside for early evening sunshine, although the sun disappears early. Food inside is brilliant. Had a couple of starters to make up a main since I couldn't decide.

Really good food , nice and helpful staff. It was a really nice lunch.

Funky bar. Excellent place to chill and enjoy the sunshine in the gardens.

We had a Sunday roast, honestly the best roast we have ever had and the starter and dessert were awesome too!

Really fresh and delicious roasted fish! Amazing!! Very friendly staff, always close to us if we need something. They found the table for us although they were almost fully booked!! The atmosphere and design is unusual, extraordinary and loose. The localisation also is great - in the town centre. Highly recommended!

Delicious lunch beautifuly presented, quaint little place.

Superb customer service and lovely food

Food and ambience consistently good and excellent happy service. Always an interesting menu. Great for fish lovers. Highly recommended. One of my favourite places in Penzance.
