- TCTony Conway2 days ago4.0St Austell pub. Good wine and food. Outside garden. Smugglers pub of old.
- GSGabriele StrupatJun 16, 20265.0würde ich hier wohnen wäre es vermutlich meine "Stammkneipe". In 2 Tagen Penzance waren wir 3x hier. Wein ist gut, die kleinen Häppchen sehr lecker und der Garten hinter dem Lokal ist einfach nur sehr gemütlich und man fühlt sich wohl. Personal sehr freundlich. Man bestellt an der Theke. Getränke sofort zum mitnehmen, Speisen werden gebracht. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt
- PWPeter WalshJun 8, 20263.0Tbh. I thought it'd be a bit different. Went out to the beer garden and there were ppl eating while others smoked next to their tables. It looked ok... just didn't feel the vibe
- DDDave DomeJun 1, 20265.0Really good Punch pub with a good selection of food on the menu. Excellent service from the staff, couldn't be faulted. Their sticky toffee pudding is to die for and must be tried. Make sure you sign up to the newsletter for special offers. Reservations recommended as it is very popular.
- JJJoan2006May 24, 20261.0We visited the Turks Head pub after a long day exploring Cornwall and ordered meals for four people, including beef roasts and a burger. Unfortunately, the experience was very disappointing from start to finish. The pub itself looked dirty inside, although the garden area seemed pleasant enough, which is the only reason we decided to stay as we were tired after travelling around all day. The food was extremely poor. The beef roast looked awful, dry and flaky, literally falling apart in an unpleasant way. The vegetables were soggy and completely tasteless. The burger was no better. None of the meals felt fresh or properly prepared. We ended up leaving most of the food on our plates because it was simply not enjoyable to eat. Considering the very steep prices, the quality was nowhere near acceptable. Overall, a really poor dining experience and sadly not a place I could recommend to anyone.
