New Seasonal Flavours

Not forgetting those autumnal desserts, we can’t get enough of our latest apple & frangipane strudel with lashings of custard.

WELCOME TO THE TURKS HEAD
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.
A TRUE KERNOW GEM
Nestled across from Penzance Harbour, along Mount’s Bay, the Turk’s Head is a hidden gem along the cobbled high street. Providing a cosy respite after exploring the local markets or having family fun along the bay, we are a welcome haven for a quality, Cornish pit-stop.
