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.

Lovely pub. I had the pie and a cider and both were excellent. Really cosy inside, and friendly staff. Would recommend.

The most expensive pints in the whole of Cornwall and we drank in much much nicer places! We paid £15 for two lightbulbs and nearly died when they told us the price, not really too sure why because the pub itself is very average. We were gonna order food but opted not to when we saw the prices - almost £20 for 3 bar snacks?! Won’t be returning!

We arrived on a Sunday looking for a roast dinner, what we got was more than we expected. Service, quality and hospitality. We’ve reccomended this place to all our friends.

Went for Sunday lunch, expensive but went on reviews. The veg and potatoes were good but the meat, especially the beef, was terrible, very tough. Not worth the money.

Sehr guter sunday roast, sehr guter Service, ein wenig eng und der Tisch war klein für vier Personen und die Tischplatte wackelte noch dazu, ist aber gut gegangen. Wir kommen wieder, vielen Dank an das Team.
