Penrose Kitchen

An absolute gem, hidden away off the beaten track. You’ll never ‘just be passing’ so search them out and go there. It’s the law. A wonderful welcome, which morphed into wonderful service, and just superb food and cooking. This is not a cheap meal but you get what you pay for. £60 a head incl. service for a three course gourmet meal and a glass of wine. It was a lovely warm evening and we took the offer of a table on the deck overlooking the lily ponds. Could have spent the evening eating the just baked, warm homemade bread alone. And paid handsomely for it. Penrose Kitchen is one of those unique slightly quirky eateries that Cornwall does so well. Just fab.

Set in a lovely location, with plentiful lily ponds and a background of wild deer. Really enjoyed our evening here, the service was excellent. A great selection of cocktails, but they weren't quite as good as they sounded. And the cheese board has a really potent cheese that should be an optional item (put me off the other cheeses). But apart from that the food was fabulous and I will definitely be returning.

Came to cornwall for the weekend and went here on Saturday for dinner for a anniversary meal with my husband. And WOW.... the meal was incredible, cocktails were amazing and the staff couldn't be more helpful and welcoming. Would 100% recommend this restaurant. When we go back we will definitely be returning.

Absolutely delicious lunch I had the scallops starter which was sublime seared scallops with hogs pudding slices on top of a smoky cauliflower purée. My partner had the cheese soufflé starter which was also delicious we both opted for the roast beef and was asked how we preferred the beef which was nice as my partner prefers hers less pink than mine my only complaint is that we were too full to take advantage of the lovely desserts all in all a lovely lunch in a nice setting

Having lived in Truro for over three years, I really don't know why it has taken us so long to find Penrose Kitchen. But I am very glad did. We visited on a balmy Saturday evening, dined outside to the back drop of lily ponds, cows lowing, and bats flying. It's probably the most peaceful restaurant in which I've ever dined. The wine list is imaginative and includes a refreshing Hungarian sparkling which we took as an aperitif. The food is beautifully presented and tastes even better than it looks. My local plaice was a delight, but my husband's veal exceeded all expectations. And the owner and staff were very accommodating and took care to make us welcome. Do pay Penrose a visit, I am sure it won't disappoint.
