Charming
Neighbourhood gem
Good for special occasions

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.

The Turks Head is such a cosy traditional pub. The atmosphere is relaxing and welcoming thanks to the attentive and friendly staff. Our "Sunday lunch" was lovely. What more could you want.

Gap between main course and dessert was a lot longer than expected but it didn’t diminish our dining experience. The bar drinks were much more expensive than anticipated but again it didn’t diminish our dining experience.

Had an amazing experience at the Turks Head. Such lovely, friendly staff, especially a lovely lady with long dark hair (with all the jewellery which my daughters loved!)- didn't get her name sorry! She was so good with with my young daughters. Nothing was too much trouble, she was happy to move us to an indoor table and to serve us earlier than we had booked. Food was all delicious, especially the sticky toffee pudding, and was all such good value for money. Amazing pub, loved all the original features. Would definitely return when next in the area.
