Wonderful character and excellent beer - loved all the maritime memorabilia around the pub! Friendly staff too.. Definitely to be recommended.

Love this pub, and visit every time I'm in Penzance. Can't understand Steveexpopes comment - this pub is nothing like Wetherspoons - no sticky tables for a start and no drunken tramps loitering about! Food is always excellent for me, as are all the ales - never had to take a pint back here. Staff friendly and efficient. Good location for a post-dinner walk along the seafront and only about 10 minutes walk from the railway station. Recommended.

Enjoyed the St Austell beers here and the B&B was very good with an excellent breakfast, a good foundation for a "sloppy" rock'n roll trip on the "Vomit Comet" out to the Scilly Isles.

We visited Penzance for the first time last weekend (Fri-Mon) and ate in this pub 2 nights running. We were very pleased with the welcome received from the staff, they were most accomodating when we asked to mix some seafood dishes, so that we could sample a variety, this would tell us that the food does not come from the microwave and we can assure anyone that it has no resembalance to a 'Watherspoons' (THANK GOD).
A good selection of local beers & ciders could be consumed.

We stayed in a B&B and not all holiday makers feel the need to return to B&B to watch TV as per 'Steveexpopes' comment, if this person is a local, these sorts of comments will not encourage the tourist trade..........

Almost a Wetherspoons clone but unlike Wetherspoons the staff are friendly. Also unlike Wetherspoons the food is expensive but like Wetherspoons it's very mediocre. Beer o.k. (I stuck to Tinners) although nothing to write home about. Cliental seem to be mainly holiday makers who couldn't wait to get food down their necks and get back to their B&Bs to take their brains out and be mesmerised by Deadenders or Bore-inaction Street.
