The best restaurants serving British food in Chacewater and Kenwyn Cornwall, Isles of Scilly South West

Having wanted to go here for an age, we finally made it and wasn't disappointed. The small restaurant was a delight, with the owner (I'm guessing) being very knowledgable and attentive and the food was very, very good. Highly recommended.

Best pasties in Cornwall. Family say they are like my own homemade pasties so got to be good or we wouldn't buy them. Can be seen being made at the back of the shop

Nestled amidst the picturesque backdrop of Truro, The Penrose Kitchen is a gastronomic haven where every detail is orchestrated to create an unforgettable dining experience. From the moment my wife and I stepped into this culinary sanctuary, we were swept away by the elegance and sophistication that graced every corner. Our evening began with a libation that set the tone for the culinary journey ahead: expertly crafted martini cocktails moistened our palates as we perused the menu, our anticipation grew, knowing that we were about to embark on a culinary adventure unlike any other. For starters, my wife's choice of twice-baked soufflé was a testament to the chef's artistry. The delicate rise of the soufflé was a prelude to the exquisite flavours that awaited within. My own selection, the scallops accompanied by a bold partner – black pudding – was a harmonious pairing of textures and tastes that delighted my senses. As the evening progressed, we were introduced to a refined duet of main courses, which were accompanied with an exquisite Argentinian Malbec, my wife's choice of halibut over a bed of vibrant broccoli showcased the chef's mastery of marrying ingredients with what can only be described as a Zen like balance of flavours. The halibut, tender and succulent, seemed to glide effortlessly across the plate. My own dish, a filet of beef, was a rhapsody of flavours that reverberated with each exquisite bite. The Malbec, proved to be the virtuoso companion to the rich tapestry of flavours that emerged from every mouthful of steak. In the midst of this culinary opus, the service and staff shone as brightly as the cuisine. Attentive, knowledgeable, and discreet, they guided us through this culinary symphony with a grace that elevated the entire experience. The husband and wife team behind The Penrose Kitchen are nothing short of a culinary tour de force, their passion evident in every plate that emerges from their kitchen. As our evening drew to a close, we surrendered to the final movement of our dining experience – a finale that embraced both indulgence and refinement. A Cointreau liqueur coffee, bold and warming, bid adieu to the main performance, leaving us with a lingering aftertaste of satisfaction and contentment. The Penrose Kitchen is not merely a restaurant; it is an embodiment of gastronomic excellence that transports diners to the echelons of fine dining without the intimidating price tag. For both residents and visitors to Cornwall, this establishment is an invitation to savour Michelin-quality fare in an environment where every detail is curated to perfection.

Friendly service and excellent food with a real plateful and cauliflower cheese as well! Would highly recommend as this is the second time we have been and it’s well worth the journey. Now has a pool table away from the eating area too!

We stayed here for two nights just after Christmas. We had a lovely winter break. The ship was a fantastic place to stay, food and drink amazing as were our lovely hosts Dianne and Lee. The breakfast was fabulous, the pub food was fantastic especially the fish pie. Thank you for your lovely hospitality.

Myself and husband decided to have breakfast here today, we both ordered a family breakfast. The gentleman who served us was very polite. On arrival of the food, it looked well presented and steaming hot. It was a lovely breakfast, can’t fault it at all. Everything was hot and tasted lovely. Would definitely recommend and will definitely have another trip there

Very over priced and mediocre food. £20 for small fish and chips that was nothing special at all and £6.95 for a pint of Guinness. When did Cornwall become such a rip off? Wouldn't recommend.

I have used this F&C previously and never had a problem. Normally your order is completed when you arrive, but tonight they’d already been done and wrapped and they were in the cabinet, even though I was 10 mins early. Tonight the chips were dry and the batter was well what can I say it didn’t resemble anything that I’d ever eaten before. Very expensive, very disappointing.
