• Pub • Penzance

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.

Offering an all-day dining experience, the Ugly Butterfly bar uses trims and offcuts from the ingredients used in the restaurant to create delicious drinks and bar snacks. This bar menu will illustrate that there is no such thing as food waste, much in the same way that there is no such thing as an Ugly Butterfly.

    Had such a lovely time for my birthday, the team working in the restaurant and bar were probably the most professional, knowledgeable and friendly team working anywhere I’ve been for dinner in a very long time , as well as the team at the tartan fox. It makes such a difference and we really appreciated how kind they all were. Thankyou for a lovely evening. Hopefully We’l be back soon, emma PS our waitress was amazing definitely an asset to the team :)

    Food and service was good but could have been better. The lamb on the main course was very well cooked with no pink meat at all, they then forgot to deliver one desert. Unfortunately there was a group of 4 males in the bar who were slightly intoxicated and being extremely loud and swearing constantly to the point that several customers moved seats away from them.

    Delicious food as always, beautifully cooked and presented with lots of interesting flavours with super fresh local products. We were especially impressed with the way the chef and staff catered to a vegan in our party. Excellent vegan menu packed with flavour and taste.
