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.

    Always a joy to visit the Turks Head when we’re on holiday. Fabulous atmosphere in the cosy bar area where friendly locals mix with tourists. Bar staff are super efficient with always a smile and the food is excellent. I think we’ve tried pretty much everything on the menu over the last few years and without exception they’ve all been wonderful in every aspect, and great value too. You Must visit. Actually, please don’t as we want to be able to book next time we’re here!

    If you are looking for a good quality lunch at a very fair price then the Turks Head delivers. Had the fish and chips with a pint of Timothy Taylor’s and went home happy!

    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.
