The best restaurants in Penzance Central Cornwall, Isles of Scilly South West

I would highly recommend this wonderful restaurant, the staff are extremely efficient and friendly, the food was delicious, I had the scallops which were perfectly cooked and the mussels, my husband had the pork belly which was succulent with crispy crackling, he also had the mussels which were superb. Desert was affogato with their homemade local honey ice cream and chocolate pudding. I will definitely revisit later in the year

They food was good (had the salad), the staff were really lovely, and overall a really nice atmosphere! 10/10

Excellent hotel, excellent service from excellent people, excellent location, excellent breakfast. What more can I say?

We came to Penzance for a work trip, and used the hotel for dinner/breakfast. Staff were lovely, as were the rooms and food. Highly recommend. Will certainly be back!

Nice pub, good selection of st Austell beer, and very friendly barmaid. A very welcoming pub all round.

Popped in here for dinner as staying overnight a few doors up. Had a very warm welcome from Connor, who provided a very attentive friendly service throughout. I ordered the sirloin steak from the a la carte menu, which had a good variety of dishes. It arrived quickly, was hot and cooked to absolute perfection. There were a few other diners in there who were also clearly enjoying their meals. A great location, reasonably priced for a good quality meal, and superb service. Thank you Connor for brightening my evening.

Edit: Thank you for your detailed response. It's reassuring to hear that you do know a lot about coeliac and to know a detailed account of what measures you have in place to avoid cross contamination. Coeliac reactions are quite severe and my body has only started to return to normal again now, two weeks later, so it sucks that it happened. But I do understand the difficulty in making sure everything is completely separate and safe, especially on a busy morning rush. If I was to come back, is there anything I should have done differently to make sure everything is safe? Old review: Nice place but not very allergen-friendly. As a coeliac, it always brings me great anxiety to find places to go out to eat, but this place seemed to have a good gf reputation. Unfortunately this was not my experience. The waitress serving us seemed to be knowledgeable about allergies and when I asked if cross contamination would an issue with their gluten-free meals they assured me that since my allergy was written on the order it wouldn't be a problem. However, when my veggie breakfast came out, my toast looked suspiciously similar to everyone else's, so I asked one of the staff if it was gluten free and it wasn't. They were nice about it though, remade my meal and took it off the bill. Although in their haste to remake my meal or perhaps just out of habit for non-coeliacs who just have a gf preference, I suspect that not all the precautions were taken, perhaps they put my gf bread in the same toaster as the regular bread or something because I left the cafe feeling extremely nauseous. I hope that this was just an honest mistake, but perhaps refresher of cross-contact and food allergy safety is necessary here.

Only open a few nights during the off season this lovely independent restaurant is well worth a visit. Service is really friendly and efficient and the food is excellent. I ate here twice and the crab cake was titally brilliant and the best meal I had during my stay in Penzance.

We came here for Valentines day and although the food was very nice, the service wasn't great. Our initial waitresses were quite stern as there was some confusion about the set meal. The food was tasty but the vegetarian option looked a lot more limited than the meat eaters, and the price was basically the same. It's really a place you'd want to get take away from rather than sit in because the atmosphere is non-existent. A little ambient music would go a long way.

Great fish and chips cooked to order..I'd highly recommend them both dining in or as a takeaway..

Best full English breakfast in Penzance. Good quality, cooked perfectly and absolutely delicious. Been here for lunch too on many occasions, crab sandwich fab and so fresh . Highly recommend eating here .

Amazing food and friendly service
