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.

    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.
