It is located in the heart of Penzance town centre, next to the main car park which is quite useful. It enjoys unrivalled panoramic views over Penzance Harbour, and St Michael's Mount can be seen in the distance. The window goes right along the entire length of the building. You can even see the Lizard Peninsular. The lunch menu is especially good, with the club sandwich a personal favorite. Nicely priced at £5, you get a very good size sandwich (you have to eat with a knife and fork unless you are prepared to get a bit messy). It also comes with a side salad, and not just a tomato and slice of lettuce! Some say it is a bit pricey, but if you find one of your favourite dishes on the menu, you will probably leave contented.
