Wheelhouse Restaurant in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

This restaurant is open. Not sure why it is listed as closed. Lots of ranked inside and outside. Food and drinks served. On the water in Penzance.

We visited here on a day out in Cornwall. I had the monkfish, chorizo risotto which was amazing. It was supposed to be a starter but really filled me up amazing flavours. I finished off with the Baileys bread and butter pudding with custard which was really tasty. Definitely would visit again .

My partner and I were heading to a different restaurant on the weekend but could only find a parking space on the seafront. It was from here that we passed this restaurant and decided to have dinner here instead of the intended venue. We both enjoyed our meals and they were very reasonably priced. Upon arriving we were greeted by a friendly member of staff. For starters I had the breaded mushrooms which were nice, followed by the steak and ale pie which came with lovely homemade chips. Best of all was dessert and the large selection of cakes which were on offer. Overall it was a good meal but the wait to get the bill at the end was a bit long but to be fair it had started to get busy and the waitress had her hands full with an awkward customer.

Enjoyed a wonderful Carvery at the Wheelhouse tonight. Huge selection of vegetables to go with the meat. Takes some beating this place!

Visited whilst on holiday. We walked in expecting to eat something off the menu outside but seen the carvery was still on.. happy days I say. Staff were very friendly and welcoming and the food and cider cocktails were good too

We've eaten here quite a bit now it's always been very good. There is a choice of 5 meats and also a choice of well done or rare beef . Lovely light restaurant and attentive staff. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend!!

He visitado este restaurante para una comida de domingo con mi marido y familia. El personal nos pareció muy amable y me pareció que la comida. . . . . . Asados de domingo. . Era muy agradable. Mi hermana estaba impresionado con la gran variedad de verduras y todo estaba muy bien preparado. No estaba impresionado con el fudge aunque tarta. Y, por desgracia, el café con leche que tenía era muy débil y como leche tibia: - (pero volveremos.

Whilst visiting family just outside Penzance we were taken to this restaurant (at the Lugger Inn) for an evening carvery.We were greeted by a very welcoming lady behind the bar who recognised our family members from a previous visit & served us our drinks.We had a child with us so we sat near a 'toy box' there to keep any children occupied.We selected carvery meals,there was a choice from Turkey,Lamb,Pork,Gammon & Beef (well done or rare),any combination,up to three meats, we all chose three,all were cooked perfectly and good quality.A 'serve yourself' vegetable section including,crispy roast potatoes,broccoli & cauliflower in a cheese sauce,peas,swede,roast parsnips,mash potatoes,spinach in sauce,carrots,leeks (& more) and Yorkshire puddings and a lovely thick and tasty gravy.This was followed up with a choice of puddings from the chilled counter,my wife had a 'Diam bar'cheesecake with cream,which I had to help her with as it was large (I don't eat puddings,but it's a husbands duty to help out).As we were there for the carvery I did not look at a menu,but I was assured there was a full menu with children's menu as well.If I'm back in Penzance in the future I would love to eat here again,I know there will be a warm welcome.

Popped in for a Sunday lunch Carvery , food was good and lots of it , Chairs a bit hard , but nice pub in all.

Este es parte del hotel lugger y el personal y la comida es simplemente increíble. El domingo fuimos para asados y ah caray todo estaba caliente, fresco y más verduras, entonces se podría encontrar en un supermercado. Una opción para 3 de 5 carnes. Es estupendo para todo el mundo y para discapacitados

Food was very good, the staff were very courteous & attentive. Menu was extensive, especially for a traveller.

Very touristy and cheesy establishment, but can't fault the food. The carvery was very good and the carver very generous. Service was poor though, no-one waited on us and the toothpick that my girlfriend asked for never materialised.

Paramos para cenar y encontramos que la mayoría de las mesas desocupadas dentro eran reservado por grupos de 4 personas más, disfruté de mi pastel de carne con cerveza servida en un plato de metal con verdadera repostería y una generosa cantidad de carne con...

Este restaurante ofrece una gran variedad de comida y el asador es fabuloso. Todo el personal era amable.

On a day visit to Penzance. As title, I can't remember a better dish including many holidays in France/Brittany. The Whole Sea Bream was cooked to perfection, new potatoes with herbed butter and baked peppers, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes etc.....delightful. Whole experience was enjoyable, sea view, watching the world go by, staff were very helpful even though very busy. Would highly recommend, we will definitely return and with friends too.

Been here a few times over the years, the food is always good! Nice friendly staff and sitting outside just enjoying a drink and the terrific view is awesome. It is children friendly and plenty of locals go here to socialise. I would recommend the Wheelhouse to anyone

I paid £6 for two diet cokes that taste like it is from the 20p Tesco value range!Nice location though opposite the sea!

Ich bin ein paarmal dort gesessen, schön mit Blick auf die Bucht, habe ein Glas Rotwein getrunken, Zigarre geraucht. Leider ist der Service sehr schlecht. Man hat auch keine Ahnung von Getränken, alles muss man selbst holen und nur hin und wieder bequemt sich jemand, abzuräumen und die Tische abzuwischen.

We arrived without booking and were seated promptly on ordering drinks we were told they were only serving carvery today and the usual menu was off which was fine, we were told we would be waited at our table (which seemed a bit pointless as we could only order carvery), we waited for a good while, the pub was pretty empty but yet no-one came, in the end we went to the bar to order our carvery. The food however was lovely and the chef was attentive to requests such as preferring rarer or more well done meats. The food was good but the level of service poor, there had been music outside when we arrived and I got the impression the waitress would rather be out there. The usual menu seemed varied and we would return to try it.

Stayed in hotel three days and had lunch on first day in Wheelhouse Restaurant. We all enjoyed it very much. Watch out for the seagulls though!

good team making an effort but seems too money orientated. toilets are disgusting, if I was on holiday with my family I would walk out but ok for a pint and an average meal

Massive menu choice, almost too much really... There is a carvery, a two side evening menu and then a grill menu where you can get burgers, steak and pizzas. I had no idea what to choose, but in the end although I wanted everything I settled for a Steak Burger. It really is a steak in a bun! Fab home cut chips and a side salad. Continuing on the extensive menu comment, you can choose a Steak, 100% Beef or Chicken burger then you can choose what you want on it (Cue list a mile long) I understand people have different tastes but it is immense! Don't get me wrong, the food was great, service great and price was on par with other places. I just found the huge selection on the menu very overwhelming to the extent I did not know what I wanted, there was just so much on offer! Like the décor, but it seemed a little bit like it was filled with nic nacs I could have bought down the road in the gift shops. It seemed a very popular place for drinking, young and older crowd, atmosphere was good. Great view on the promenade, just felt it was a little OTT on the décor and the Menu choice. It wouldn't stop me going back though, I'd just need to spend longer deciding what food I wanted....

We ordered a half chitchen and fries in a basket and the food came presented in a plastic basket! The cheapest basket ever! The food was bland, Reaheated, the coke we orderd was made from syrup and plain water! We had to ask for a replacement ! We had water instead! Is cheap food on a cheap pleace! Not recommended!

Had dinner here three times during our stay in Penzance. Went for the Carvery each time, great choice of meat and as much veg as you can eat. Fantastic service and food well done

Me and my husband visited the Wheelhouse for dessert and we were not disappointed. A wide range of puddings and very generous servings. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff.

Decided to have a carvery. There is a choice of 5 meats and about 10 different veggies. It was really tasty and were given plenty of meat. The staff are lovely and friendly. Would definitely eat there again.

Il personale è molto gentile, il locale è semplice, posizione strategica lungo mare, hanno pesce fresco (che potrebbe essere cucinato meglio, ma il materiale utilizzato è valido). La carta dei vini è sicuramente un aspetto da migliorare. Prezzi onesti.

Although we only had sandwiches/wraps the food was fresh and tasty. We had various wraps including seafood, chicken, pepperoni, olives and sundried tomatoes, and a wonderful Newlyn crab sandwich. The kitchen had actually closed when we ordered but they took our order anyway.Wonderful views, in beautiful sunshine.Lovely atmosphere and live music too.

We called in on a busy Sunday lunchtime where people were queued for the Sunday Roast Special ... yes, we were there for Cream Tea as we had a big breakfast earlier in the day so we didn't need a lunch as such. However, we were served rock hard scones that had to be at least 4-5 days old with tacky miniature packet jams (not a bowl of jam) and a bowl of clotted cream.Of the 3 ingredients, it was only the clotted cream that gets a tick.How on God's earth can you serve up stale old rock hard scones??? .... just an absolute disgrace!

Was walking around in the rain looking for somewhere to eat when we came across this restaurant fantastic carvery plenty choice

Wir haben einmal dort gegessen, da wir zu müde waren, um zu den weiter gelegenen Restaurants zu laufen. Die Terrasse ist schön und hat Blick aufs Meer, aber drinnen erinnert es ein bisschen an eine Mischung aus Nordsee-Restaurants und Bahnhofshalle. Das a la Carte Essen ist in Ordnung, bestand aber hauptsächlich aus Convenience-Produkten (Tiefkühlkost), die schnell zu Ende gekocht wurden. Der Service ist allerdings freundlich. Es gibt auch ein großes Buffett, das scheint deutlich besser zu sein als die a la Carte Gerichte

Nice and friendly atmosphere, lovely views. Food was just awesome, would defiantly eat there again next time we visit.

Went to this restaurant because it was close to hotel, on entering nearly left as it was empty, staff friendly enough.Ordered steak burgers and waited 45 minutes which was strange as only people in restaurant ? Pleasantly surprised with the quality of the meal though whichSaved the night

We was in penzance for a week stay,we ate here a couple of nights and the reason was the carvery! which was really good,the rare beef was delicious and so was the creamy spinach.the drinks was reasonably priced at the bar and they do a lovely rose blush. The staff were friendly and helpful especially the young tall lad which works behind the bar and also on the floor,hard worker comes to mind! (Sorry didnt get your name) would definitely vist again next time in penzance ☺

Food and service excellent. Carvery the best I have seen anywhere, and try one of the pizza's cooked in the outside kitchen.

Myself and 3 others visited for lunch they chose the carvery and I went for the fish and chips the carvery food looked great although service was slow and my food took much longer to arrive and the fish was uncooked in the middle so I sent it back the waitress apologized but didn't give me any indication if I was getting a replacement or refund, anyway it was replaced and was fine, mediocre at best and long wait on food 25 minutes plus for fish and chips.. Prices were okay tho

Das Wheelhouse lag quasi in unserer Nachbarschaft und ist ein sehr gemütliches großes Restaurant und Pub. An manchen Tagen gibt es auch ein ansprechendes und günstiges Buffet mit mehreren Fleischsorten, aus denen man sich 3 auswählen kann.

Saturday lunchtime. We never actually got any food. The menu on the board outside was enticing and the interior was in keeping with a seaside theme. A blackboard at the bar invited us to have a pasty and a pint but sadly these weren't yet cooked so not available. It is now 2.15pm so which clientele was the board aimed at? Not deterred, we ordered two wraps named after Greek Islands. 20 minutes later we enquired after our wraps only to be told they would be another 15 minutes. For a couple of wraps!? Had they gone to Greece to make them? We left. As it happens we found a wonderful little place along the promenade. Also reviewed. Too many establishments in this country need to get their act together with customer service. We need a sense of urgency, professionalism, dare I say communication between the kitchen and bar staff and pride in the job of serving customers - this is something that is not looked down on in other countries and we in the UK need to get a grip!

I have visited this restaurant with clients for business lunch as well as privately of an evening for something to eat and drink.The food I have had, from carvery to chicken and chips in a basket have all been well cooked, tasted very nice and plenty of.My only 'nag' is that even when this place is NOT full and busy, the service to get a table or drinks can be slow making me as a customer feel ignored!I will visit again though.

I was there to enjoy some Old Rosie's Pig which I did sitting outside by the sea.Then I noticed the Carvery on offer. I could only regret that I am no longer the trencherman i used to be. Full breakfast and an evening meal is nowadays more than enough although I admit to having sneakd a safron bun late morning.There were 3 great joints displayed and there were plenty of diners tucking in. I couldn't take it so left but resolved to return another day - breakfastless!

having been booked into the adjacent hotel, I decided to eat in the wheelhose restaurant. The younger servers did not know much about the menu, including the drinks. Meal itself(chicken) was qiuite good, the salad hwever had already dried edges. I decided to order a coke, not wanting to drink alcohol. The waitress said it was Cola, but from the taste of it I have to disagree. Another day, another waitress told me it was made from syrup. This at a restaurant with a bar...

Very friendly welcome by the staff. They had both a la carte and a carvery the evenings we visited. Although the carvery was very tempting with pork, turkey and beef with a huge selection of vegetables, we decided to go a la carte. We had the tiger prawn and garlic bread to start with. For mains we had the seabass. We were treated to a whole seabass each and to our surprise we managed to almost finish it. The portions are big, well cooked and rustic. Definitely worth a visit.

More like a cafe than a restaurant. Cafe table and chairs etc. remove the surroundings and only on the food it was ok. Carvery was good lots of choice. Needs a lot of TLC to bring out of the 70s. I can see the attraction as we found nothing else in penzance. It has views over the bay and an outside dog friendly terrace. It has so much potential that looks like it has gone to waste.

Buon locale sul mare, con tavolini in interno ed esterno, dalle decorazioni tipicamente marinare. Buona la pizza anche se la pasta forse non era proprio da pizza..., ottime tagliatelle Hand Deck. Servizio abbastanza veloce. Prezzo nella norma. Alla fine è dove abbiamo mangiato meglio a Penzance.

Posizione strategica, vicinissimo al centro, si trova lungo il lungomare e prezzi contenuti! Il cibo era davvero buono e la presentazione dei piatti molto curata! Abbiamo preso solo antipasti e ci siamo saziate data l'abbondanza! Davvero consigliato! Il dolce al cioccolato era favoloso!

We love the lugger for a good, traditional carvery. The meat is beautiful and there's loads of veg to chose from. We were lucky on this occasion as the sun was blazing down and they had a great outside disco going on, which brought the place alive. Friendly staff and great food. The only one little snipe was they over charged us, but rectified it straight away. We love this place

We went for a look around Penzance while holidaying at St Ives at the end of April, and chanced upon The Wheelhouse on the seafront. We were attracted by the mouth-watering menu on the blackboard outside, and the delightful position looking out to sea. Although it was empty we were greeted by a very friendly girl who looked after us really well, and I was impressed at the very nautical atmosphere and attractive décor. Sadly we were not too impressed with the food; my sea food chowder, usually one of my favourite dishes, was quite heavy and as it cooled down turned into the consistency of porridge, although it was quite good value. Also it would have been nice if the forecourt of the hotel did not have some worker's van with workmen working just outside, but I guess this sort of thing can'e be helped,

We wanted to sample some of the restaurant around the area while on holiday, and we did sample a few around Penzance and other towns such as St Ives, Falmouth, Sennon to name a few. But on eating at the Wheelhouse for the well recommended Sunday carvery which was outstanding, and ended up staying all day being entertained by the outside music which was brilliant, and the weather made it great.We decided to return on the Monday to sample the other menu which also included an outside wood Pizza oven and grill. All we can say is WOW, the best Pizza I have tasted anywhere and my wife had an amazing fish dish. So for the remain 5 days of our stay we went no further and sampled most of the menu and it didn't disappoint, even the desserts were great. Excellent value for money and the bar was well stock and cheaper than some pubs in the area, which is unusual for a restaurant. The staff were very friendly, helpful and attentive. A real gem of a place that offers a day out... We will be back for your Mazey weekend (hope I spelt that correctly), to be fed, entertained along with the great views and of course have a dew drinks, hope the weather is good. If your staying in Penzance you need to visit here

We found this restaurant quite by chance on the second evening of our week-long holiday at the end of September. On the sea front, with lots of outside tables over-looking the sea, it was an ideal place at which to eat. The Carvery looked like it might be a good choice - and wow! Generous servings of tasty and beautifully cooked meats, plus a wide choice of delicious vegetables (the creamed spinach was particularly good - and fabulous when I teamed it up with the peas.......). We were too full for dessert - so cannot make any judgement about puddings.As we left we asked if dogs were allowed - and discovered Pooch could have joined us at the outside table we had selected on this warm evening. So very good was this first meal, that we went back the next night - and so very good was the carvery on that first visit that we chose that again - and were not at all disappointed (nor was the dog - we again had too much meat, so she had a very tasty treat when we got back to our digs).We could not stay away - so were back again on our fifth night, and this time we ordered a skewer of Tiger prawns to share, and the 'Chef's Fillet Steak'. The prawns were lovely, and I shall remember that steak for a very long time as being amongst the very best steaks I have ever tasted. It was fabulous. All praise to the chef.If you really enjoy GOOD food, at a fair price, and are in Penzance - eat here. (It's a pity it is so far away from Glasgow...........)
