Red Chilli
20 Causewayhead, PenzanceI ordered a takeaway online and noticed the menu seems to be missing chicken tikka masala, which my friend usually has. I called up Red Chilli to inform them and they were so surprised and apologised, and let me know that they do do it and just to put a note on the order and that they would sort the website out ASAP. I had to call not long after as I totally forgot I needed cash for delivery. Unfortunately we were unable to go and get cash as I was unable to leave my house due to injury, leaving me temporarily bed bound. They were brilliant in allowing me to pay by phone (not something they usually do) and I'm very grateful. The food was amazing and I go to Red Chilli as I love the Paratha, which so far I haven't seen on any other Indian takeaway menus. Thank you Red Chilli

Lewis
2 Strand, Newlyn, PenzanceDriving along the coast from Penzance to Newlyn was an absolute pleasure. It had been decades since my last visit, and it’s just as stunning as I remember—an ideal spot to savour some freshly battered fish. Parking was a bit limited near the chippy, but fortunately, a small public car park was just a couple of doors away. The shop itself was clean and well-kept, and the staff were polite and welcoming.
I ordered the lemon pepper cod, fried in a dry, seasoned batter. The fillet was thick, fresh, and perfectly spiced. I also tried the regular battered cod, which was equally delicious with its light, crispy coating. The chips were thick, fairly crispy, and served in generous portions. Both the curry sauce and mushy peas were exactly as expected from a traditional fish and chip shop—simply spot on.

Artist Residence Clubhouse
20 Chapel St, PenzanceHad the most amazing meal there for my husbands birthday. From start to finish it was a lovely experience. The atmosphere is relaxing, the decor is just the right side of eclectic, and the staff are very friendly and attentive without hovering. They understand the menu and could recommend accordingly. The food was delicious. For starters we had the Cornish crab nachos - which sounded like an odd combination but we fancied trying it - which were surprisingly tasty, worked really well together, and very generous. We also had the smoked ribs which had a strong smoked flavour and quite a piquant sauce, they were extremely tasty. For mains we had the duck - it fell off the bone and was mouthwatering - and the special of sea bass - which was cooked to perfection with a super crisp skin but moist and juicy flesh. Even the chips were spectacular- possible the crispiest chips we’ve ever eaten. We didn’t have room for desert, but the ones we saw being brought out looked delightful. We passed our compliments on to the chef (who I believe was called Gareth) and had a thoroughly enjoyable evening. Highly recommend people trying it.

The Boatshed
The Harbour, Wharf Rd, PenzanceI ate at the Boatshed twice during my stay, on the first evening I had the meat free burger but booked to go back on my final evening as I wanted to try the quinoa burger - my experience was equally great on both occasions and I'd definitely put the Boatshed on my list of places to eat again next time I'm in Penzance.\n\nI would say the quinoa burger was among the best vegetarian burgers I've ever had - as an idea they can be very variable depending on the chef and these were first rate, with a wide variety of pieces of vegetable mixed in (I'm pretty sure I spoted beetroot, yellow pepper and small broad beans in mine). Served with great chips, and peas which were done to exactly the right degree.\n\nThe service was great, on both occasions - exactly the right balance between being on top of spotting when a diner needed something and letting alone.

Rice is nice and fresh and not at all greasy with plenty of large king prawns which were delicious. The service is top notch and they know what they are doing here. Simple to order and they are very on the ball. I got there at 5pm on opening and ppl were calling orders in strait away and several ppl came in within minutes, which is a good sign of a decent Chinese takeaway.

The Fisherman’s Arms, Newlyn, PenzanceJust had a light bite to eat here. Can honestly say the moules are amongst the best we've ever had, absolutely delicious!
Friendly service and a nice atmosphere to boot. What's not to like.

The Turks Head
49 Chapel Street, PenzanceWe ate here at the weekend, I was excited for the Roast, we booked online a couple of days before and was not disappointed.
We had 2x Roast beefs so I didn't get to see any other dishes but we absolutely loved this food, lots of spuds, veg and loads of beef. We sat in the sunny pub garden too!

Heamoor Chip Shop
1A Rock Terrace, Heamoor, PenzanceMe and my father visit my sister in the UK and we spent couple of days in cornwall.
I just want to try the original fish and chips and find the Heamor chips shop on google.
This is a small but cossy place and the staff is very kind, and everthing is made freshly, and the tidiness is perfect.
The owner convince us to try out all the three types of fish (hake, cod and headock) with different types of taste, and it was a good decision.
The owner was very kind, he just chat with us till he makes our meal ready, and welcomes me since this was my first time in the UK.
I think if I ever again visit cornwall again I will definitely visit the Heamor Chip shop.

Senara
Penwith College, St Clare Street, PenzanceWhat 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!

Red Chilli
20 Causewayhead, PenzanceI ordered a takeaway online and noticed the menu seems to be missing chicken tikka masala, which my friend usually has. I called up Red Chilli to inform them and they were so surprised and apologised, and let me know that they do do it and just to put a note on the order and that they would sort the website out ASAP. I had to call not long after as I totally forgot I needed cash for delivery. Unfortunately we were unable to go and get cash as I was unable to leave my house due to injury, leaving me temporarily bed bound. They were brilliant in allowing me to pay by phone (not something they usually do) and I'm very grateful. The food was amazing and I go to Red Chilli as I love the Paratha, which so far I haven't seen on any other Indian takeaway menus. Thank you Red Chilli
