Mackerel Sky Seafood Bar

New Rd, Newlyn, Penzance

WOW, best Seafood we have had. Get in the queue.... it's worth the wait.
We had about 20-30 people in front of us, but because we were only a table of 2 we got a table within 10 minutes.

We has the Lemon Sole, Crab Salad, Tiger Prawns and Battered Haddock.
Everything was absolutely amazing.
We also had the Lemon Posset between the two of us, again delicious.
We will definitely return next year when we are visiting the area.

This place is probably the best seafood restaurant in Penzance! Food was delicious fresh same for service. Stuff was knowledgeable and very kind. I would recommend everyone to go here, just be careful and book in advance as there is high chance you might not get a table.

The Shore Restaurant

13-14 Alverton St, Penzance

Chefs are usually far to busy to venture from their kitchens to the front of the house, but at The Shore in Penzance, the irrepressible Bruce Rennie has no choice, since he runs the restaurant single-handedly. And boy! Does he run it in style!\n\nThe set-up is for guests to sit at a communal table which can accommodate a maximum of ten diners. The night we were there there were only four of us. This gives the occasion the atmosphere of an intimate dinner party. Bruce greets you, seats you, and then explains how things will work. The menu varies from day to day, depending on what ingredients are freshest and seasonal. But suffice to say, you will be presented with the freshest of Newlyn-caught fish and other local ingredients, all from trusted suppliers or, indeed, from Bruce’s own garden and polytunnel. \n\nBruce announces each course and explains the choice of fish in the dish and why he has prepared it with the various, ingenious, and delicious flavour combinations. He even knows the name of the boat that caught the fish! \n\nWe kicked off with Bruce’s freshly baked bread, which he serves with his own cultured and churned butter, which is above and beyond necessity, but which is absolutely delicious. Our tasting menu continued with dishes where the star ingredients were, in order: line-caught squid, blue fin tuna, oysters, smoked fish with mussels, hake, and, finally bass. And for pud, a lemon sorbet, followed by a lemon “cheesecake”, made with Bruce’s home-grown Cornish lemons!\n\nWe also had the wine flight to accompany each dish. Bruce gives his rationale for the choice of each wine to accompany each dish. He is clearly an oenophile, because every choice was excellent, and I recommend choosing the flight to maximise the dining experience.\n\nBruce’s knowledge of and explanation of his taste choices is superb and is a real complement to the meal. How he manages to juggle running one of the country’s finest kitchens with his front of house performance is a mystery to me. But long may he continue to do so. If you are in Cornwall you simply must give his restaurant a visit!

Visited for brunch as a group of 4 adults and a 3yo. We all had either small or regular Cornish breakfasts and a few breakfast items for our daughter. The food itself was pretty good however we felt the hogs pudding lacked flavour compared to what we have previously had elsewhere. Also at £15 for the regular breakfasts and the cost of a few individual items for a child we felt that it wasn't quite as good value for money as other places we have visited due to the size and quantity of breakfast items included. Service was excellent and the staff we met were incredibly friendly and helpful.

Proper drinking pub.\n\nAs many of the other reviews point out, this is a great backstreet boozer. Found it on a holiday trip with family and stayed for an enjoyable hour.\n\nAbout 20 people in there, most seemed local, all were well lubricated, not in a massive night out way but more a, normal day in the pub way.\n\nNon threatening, good range of drinks. Liked it.

Mounts Bay Pasty Company

8 Market Jew St, Penzance

Absolutely outstanding pasties.

We are a family of pasty connosours ? For over 35 years we have been visiting Cornwall, staying in Hayle and therefore we are big fans of the famous Philps Bakery.

Today we visited Mounts Bay Pasty Company in Penzance.

We were welcomed by two really friendly ladies, one who had not long returned from maternity leave (sorry didn't catch your name)

We purchased two standards, a steak and stilton, a lamb and mint and a sausage roll. These came with free doughnuts and cookies!

I have to say, these are outstanding and I have to say, they even beat Philps! The pasty was so tasty and buttery but not too flaky. Really fairly priced and so delicious I don't know which I liked the best.

We will almost certainly be back!

There are a lot of pubs in Penzance - this is the best and if we lived here we’d make this our local. \n\n4 of us visited with 2 dogs, one the size of a small pony, for Sunday lunch, good to see it was nice and busy and we probably got the last unreserved table. To avoid disappointment it probably makes sense to book ahead. The team were great from the off, took our drinks order and brought them to our table, brought a bowl of water for the dogs. Our roasts were really tasty, plenty of meat and the cheesy leaks were awesome. Big shout out to the gravy too, made from beef dripping. Puds were offered but we were full.\n\nCannot recommend this pub highly enough.

Tried oysters for the first time here and I am glad I did! It was a fantastic experience.
We got the half dozen, which offers two of each variety of their oysters (great for a couple) and saves £4 compared to ordering them individually. Purists will probably laugh at me but you MUST try the baked oyster in spicy tartare sauce. Absolute banger!
They have two happy hours where the drinks are £5 each but do take a proper look at the menu for a better idea of what’s on offer.

The service is friendly and welcoming and it seems the staff are very familiar with the locals, so if you’re a tourist you might find they half expect you to know how everything works. They’re not eager to seat you or let you know you should order at the bar.

Love how dog friendly this place is!

The Mexico Inn

4 Riverside, Longrock, Penzance

While visiting Cornwall recently we looked for somewhere to enjoy a Sunday Lunch . After doing a bit of research we found the Mexico Inn . We booked for a Sunday lunch the first weekend we were on holiday, we found on arrival that there is very limited on street parking so headed for the nearby Longrock car park. The parking charges are very reasonable and it is only a five minute walk back to the Inn. After browsing the menu we all opted for the beef brisket Sunday lunch although there were many tempting alternatives on the menu and specials board . The roast was a generous portion was really delicious. We just about had space for pudding but couldn’t decide on what to pick , solution, The Mexico Inn do a sharing board with all their puddings to share ! These were as excellent as the main course . We would highly recommend coming here for lunch but best book as it gets very busy . We enjoyed it so much we came back the second Sunday of our holiday for the same again !

Excellent Chinese in Penzance. We were walking around trying to find a place to eat and came across sea palace. They made room for us and made us very welcome. Dylan looked after us and suggested a really nice chicken dish when I couldn't decide what to have. 4 drinks arrived including Sunlik and tiger beer, super fast and the food was not far behind. We had prawn crackers, special rice, salt and pepper chips, sizzling fillet steak, gaunpow (sp) chicken and sweet and sour Cantonese chicken. All the food was amazing and the staff were great especially Dylan. If back in Penzance we would definitely go back.

What a gem! Dining at this student-run restaurant was an absolute pleasure. From start to finish, you could feel the passion and dedication behind every detail — it’s clear these students are not just learning, they’re thriving.

The menu was creative and thoughtfully put together, with bold flavors, beautiful presentation, and a real sense of culinary curiosity. Every dish felt like a showcase of talent and teamwork. I was genuinely impressed!

Service was just as lovely — professional yet friendly, with staff who were clearly proud of their work and eager to make the experience special. The atmosphere had a great energy too — relaxed, fresh, and full of promise.

It’s so inspiring to see the next generation of chefs and hospitality pros in action. I’ll definitely be back — and cheering them on every step of the way!
