About this restaurant

Charming
Neighborhood 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.

Food is always hot and fresh, and beautifully cooked. My friend and I both had the small order of fish and chips. Absolutely gorgeous! Excellent service, as ever. Never had a bad meal here. I highly recommend The Turks Head. And check out their fabulous garden, with heaters when needed !

Booked for lunch on Sunday both had Duo of Lamb. Absolutely delicious. For desert Rhubarb frangipani tart and Summer Berries Crumble. Again - both fresh and delicious. The team, who all seemed very young, were friendly and attentive despite having had a busy night previously. A credit to the pub. We live in South East Cornwall but would happily return.
