A decent pub by Penzance Harbour. Comfortable and a decent menu. The fish chowder was a bit salty for my taste but still one of the better ones I have had. the beef pie and chips was very good. Prices £18 or £19 each. Ample portions for a Cornishman Spanish galleon moored opposite was a bonus.

I had a lovely dinner with homemade chowder and a glass of local cider here. Both were amazingly good. Huge portion, so maybe I should have brought someone I could share it with. The staff was friendly and attentive, nice atmosphere, so happy to eat here again.

Talmente bello e caratteristico da esserci stati due sere di fila. Non è che la città offra molto di più, ma questo è davvero il ristorante tipico della Cornovaglia che cercavamo. Ambiente intimo, un pò "fumoso" nel senso che ogni tanto uscivano dalla cucina dei piatti di carne strepitosi. Pescato del giorno notevole, patate fritte da urlo, ambiente davvero piacevole. Super consigliato
