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

Nos paramos para desayunar, ya que habíamos visto que el menú era interesante. Tuve el aguacate con un huevo escalfado en chili y tostadas de masa fermentada. No es una combinación que habría pensado, pero funcionó muy bien. La estufa de leña añadido al ambiente acogedor del lugar. Encantadora decoración moderna de estilo rústico. Volveremos

What a gem! Dining at this student-run restaurant was an absolute pleasure. From start to finish, you could feel the passion and dedication behind every detail — it’s clear these students are not just learning, they’re thriving. The menu was creative and thoughtfully put together, with bold flavors, beautiful presentation, and a real sense of culinary curiosity. Every dish felt like a showcase of talent and teamwork. I was genuinely impressed! Service was just as lovely — professional yet friendly, with staff who were clearly proud of their work and eager to make the experience special. The atmosphere had a great energy too — relaxed, fresh, and full of promise. It’s so inspiring to see the next generation of chefs and hospitality pros in action. I’ll definitely be back — and cheering them on every step of the way!

What Bruce Rennie is doing here is truly special: a one-man band hosting a limited number of guests in a very tasteful dinner club kind of atmosphere with seafood prepared at highest level of skills with regional and seasonal produce of wonderful quality. Don’t miss it!

Just had another tasty lunch here withmy daughter and grandchildren. The food is amazing, especially the Lasagne. Very reasonably priced The staff are lovely and welcoming. Definitely well worth visiting.

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

The food was very good but what really impressed me was the staff. Only two on duty, Jane and Daniel, who had to contend with running the restaurant, managing the bar and checking guests in to the hotel. Having worked on hospitality for 46 years they had my total sympathy and admiration.

Stumbled on this amazing restaurant at the top of the high street in Penzance. We were looking for something different and Alverne did not disappoint. Lovely food, decor and ambiance. We highly recommend this restaurant.

Nothing but positives. Best fish and chips in Penzance. Friendly and engaging staff. Large portions of fresh halibut (or cod) and delicious fries served at a fair price. Orders are prepared quickly and wrapped in paper for easy takeout. Indoor seating available if you prefer. Highly recommended.

Another pub that got recommended to us by Kernow CAMRA. Across the road from the harbour, this hostelry had a couple of real ales on. We felt quite at home here and is also worth a visit whenever you are in Cornwall.

So glad we found this café for lunch. Sandwiches, cheese and chutney & prawn were really tasty, served with salad and crisps. We brought cakes home as we were so full. Hot drinks, tea and cappuccino, also excellent.

Amazing food, coffee, facilities and staff! Beautiful sea view from the our table. Thank you!

Lovely cafe by the front that do traditional breakfasts where you can watch the sun rise. Great location if you're going for an early train. I had a bacon roll in a wholemeal bap with a mug of tea. They'll do you a proper mug of tea made at the counter in a big metal teapot. Fantastic food and service. Love the big world map too.

This ice cream parlour is situated opposite the bus station but has views over the coast from the tables outside. They do a range of flavours and are all reasonably priced. The service is efficient and friendly and well worth a visit.
