The Halsetown inn a rural grade 2 listed roadside inn situated just outside st ives on the main road between penzance and St ives. at the Halsetown we have core values good food good beer good ambience steeped in local history great for lunch or evening meal after a day out exploring.
we pride ourselves on using all locally sourced produce.
our Chefs Darren and Danny have worked alongside each other creating dishes and memories for the past 3 years a great partnership.
they love cooking dishes especially fish dishes as being so close to the sea why not
we are in between Penzance and so close to St ives if you like walking its just 2 miles away.
Halsetown was once a thriving tin mine community lots of local history
the atmosphere is very laid back with great food washed down with a great ale or glass of wine
we also have a little haven at the back of our pub a courtyard a nice sun trap on an afternoon or early evening

We (five as booked) were shown to a table for four before being given a bigger table. After being sat for several minutes while looking at the menu we were told that The menu was severely reduced due to "change of season". which hadn't been mentioned on the booking page. I wanted a BLT but no sandwiches were on the reduced menu so I opted for a cheese ploughman's. Plenty of cheese but the sourdough bread was lukewarm (from being toasted on one side to cover the fact it was old) There was a salad and some gherkins and pots of pickle. All very disappointing for £14.00 I shall not be returning or recommending this eatery.
