About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
The Turks Head is the oldest pub in the heart of Penzance town. Unspoiled by contemporary design and décor, this soul-soothing, local pub offers a fresh, seasonal menu coupled with local craft beverages, all of which can be enjoyed in our shanty style, west-country setting. Our secret garden is a hidden retreat that begs for any passing explorer or local Kernow folk to enjoy. Take in the crisp sea breeze blowing in from the Quay just a stone's throw away with a refreshing drink in hand.

    I love the Turks Head, and eat here quite often. I like the menu, which I always thought had something for everyone. Unfortunately, my friend I brought with his wife recently is gluten free, and I forgot to check the menu. He ended up having mashed potato and broccoli! Still, if you aren't gluten free, this place has a great menu and fantastic service. (There WAS a gluten free dish on the menu, but my friend didn't fancy it, I think it was the salmon with noodles? not sure now!)

    We travel 45 minutes on the train to Penzance to visit The Turk’s Head. Cracking foo, good value and a great atmosphere. Highly recommend the Sunday lunch but the food is consistently delicious lunch or evening any day.
