Tinkture in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Don’t bother. Mike the owner was extremely hostile after one very expensive round. Don’t go there if you want a second drink !!!

No big company statement, there's no need, the venue and staff love the place. Great ambience, care, passion, service, etc etc. Just loved it in every regard. Highly recommended. Easily the best find of our many holidays to Cornwall.

Great little find. Tucked away but advertised on the main Chapel Street. We had a lovely brunch. Food was delicious, coffee was very good and service with a smile. The place has a great atmosphere and I can imagine it really rocks of an evening. Highly recommend.

Booked ahead for the restaurant and had a great experience. Stunning space. Excellent attentive service. Exciting menu and delicious food including vegan options (although having a vegan pud option would be preferable please). Do have the honeyed bread and salted butter. The olives are also delicious. Asparagus, roast potatoes, greens and outstanding fish dishes all excellent. Our only complaint was the fish fug which left us all smelling a bit fishing. Improve the ventilation please and it would be Penzance perfection! Thank you!

Beautiful venue and good service but the food was incredibly disappointing. The fish lacked any flavour despite being in a sauce and the cauliflower tasted like it had been boiled not roasted. The leeks were substituted with radishes which couldn't be more different. Dishes were overpriced and overall the experience was poor.

First impressions upon walking in was the great atmosphere with a great vibe but also not overly crowded. The tables are nicely spaced out giving enough privacy. Clearly signed to grab a table and order at the bar on arrival so there was no dithering around wondering what we need to do. Comfortable table with a chess board printed on it. All the chess pieces were present in a box on the table and I preceded to wipe the floor with my wife! Menu was printed on 2 boards but was labelled brunch which was slightly confusing as it was 13:30 in the afternoon. Really nice staff member on hand to advise. Ordering was super simple with no queueing. The food was really good! Promptly served, hot and tasty. Look forward to going back soon!

Our favourite place to eat in Cornwall . First time back after their winter closure and reorganisation and the food is as fabulous as ever . Sam greeted us and was an absolute delight! We sat in the new ‘restaurant ‘ area with table service but as it was a very late lunch (3pm) and quiet we were offered the bar menu to choose from too . Difficult to choose from a huge range of amazing vegan options for me and fish for my partner but ultimately we chose from the restaurant side and had the most wonderful Italian house white to accompany our food . Just perfect ! Wish we lived closer .

You wouldn't think this place was tucked away in Penzance but it's fab! Haven't managed to dine here yet but the coffees are always great, staff are lovely and the decor is so so nice!

Really lovely atmosphere, and a warm welcome Excellent coffee and cake I had a delicious flat white and pear & nutmeg cake

This place is a hidden gem absolutely fabulous Please ignore the nay sayers best food I’ve had I a while

Promptly served by friendly staff, generous portions, fresh and locally sourced. Good value. Lovely family business. Can highly recommend and will definitely return! A hidden gem!

Lovely convivial atmosphere, and superb food and drink. Everything we had was first class. The mackerel "special" was one of the two best best pieces of fish I have had in my entire life - nothing flashy, but perfectly cooked and delicious.

We always have very good food in this bistro/gin bar with it’s great ambiance. The list of dishes available for the tapas are different and interesting. Our friend had the tinned sardines which are fresh sardines presented in a tin. The marinated tofu is also excellent and the range of cakes is unusual. Great lunch

A real find. The food was interesting and very tasty. The service and the atmosphere was great. So glad we found it.

Although quiet, pleasant female staff running around but not coordinated. Teas on menu were all very fancy, no English breakfast types, so ordered coffee.asked for cake told to go and choose which I did, coffee arrived after ten minutes but no cake I lingered over the coffee and after a while asked again about the cake which eventuality arrived much later when I was preparing to leave. Coming to pay it was card only, is sterling no longer acceptable ? But there was tin mug for gratuities so I tapped that as well with my card, just a disappointing experience. .

Lovely venue. Unfortunately, I am not a huge fan of garlic. We asked if the griddled green vegetables with a garlic oil drizzle could have olive oil instead. No problem. What was not explained was that the vegetables arrived with at least 6 cloves of...

Beautiful venue and superb food. What let it down was the length of time it took for orders to be produced. We were told there was a large party being served but that was after we had cocktails and placed our order. No apology was...

A superb find in a courtyard just off Chapel Street, food is all small plates with a gin distillery. The food is amazing full of flavour, the most simple of dishes is beautifully presented, the Yarg stuffed flatBread is to die for, too good for...

Looking for good food, look no further, staff are great and knowledgeable, food is great, nice combinations for all, you won’t be disappointed. Gets better with every visit!

Really excellent meal here in September for a birthday; we ordered too much but it was all extra tasty and interesting. Staff are lovely and the atmosphere is sociable and relaxing. I'm local and it's a perfect place to go and have some space a...

Ignore the review about being surprised by the tinned sardines. The menu says tinned sardines on toast so not sure why they were surprised when that's what they got. Our favourites were the potatoes and grilled greens. So flavoursome

The food was amazing the pickles etc excellent and you can buy them yum. The place was quirky and fun staff lovely. Not sure if opening hours but will be back

Really loved the atmosphere of the place, great coffee, croissants and superb staff. Everything I want for a light breakfast to start the day right.

Popped in for some drinks, ended up having a dessert too. Relaxed vibe, shared tables, very attentive smiley staff who seemed to really enjoy their jobs and greeted us like we were old friends. They do small plates which you can mix and match however...

stumbled upon 45. Would be a reason in its own right to return to Penzance - absolutely fantastic. Food glorious, space a delight and top staff. Loved it.

Laid back, friendly, great food and drink. The excellent service and wonderfully fresh food were an amazing find on Queen Street. A converted warehouse with a warm vibe and great music. Felt like the staff really cared about their customers and were full of smiles....

Brilliant find in Penzance centre, while looking for food we noticed the sign and went to explore. So glad we did this. We were welcomed at the door including our dog and given options for one of the large shared tables. The cocktails were lovely...

Great atmosphere, v friendly staff, excellent service and my favourite sort of food. Flowed on tables, great decor.. had a lovely time thank you!! Being picky , very picky, but constructive feedback.. wine by glass limited and overpriced, but that’s a very small thing!

We ordered the sardines for £7:50 They were tined sardines on toast. We were surprised and a bit disappointed. Sardines are my mothers favourite and she has never been served tined. Especially as we live next to a major fishing port. The toasted sandwich was...

Popped in for cake and coffee. The coffee was great - but I do object to paying full whack for a tiny iced coffee that was mostly ice. The main issue, however, was the cake. The only cakes on offer were vegan. About 1% of...

Fortunately we found 45 Queen Street, by chance, after a morning walk in the rain. It fair cheered, indeed made our day!! Located in the unlikely setting of an old steel framed garage building a superb atmosphere has been created by renovating it with style...

What a gem of a find. We were passing through Penzance and decided to stop for a bite to eat. Walking through the town we were slightly underwhelmed with the offerings and happened upon this really fun restaurant. Fantastic food, with a subtle twist, a...
