The location helps, on a surprisingly quiet narrow side street parallel to the main shopping hill. Beer is from Bays, Skinners or Otter, which is the kind of line up Man City wish they had! Went for the Otter and had a very good pint. There is a large selection of wines too, so something for everyone I think. My favourite pub in Penzance so far (I have lots more to visit I know!).

The Turks Head is said to be the oldest pub & restaurant in Penzance and Cornwall and attacts a great number of barflies and tourists hence it's pretty busy. The garden at the back is a must in summer although I sat there in the rain for a while. Reservation is recommended for a smooth evening. Good selection of real ales, fantastic food, prompt service and interesting decorationyeah, lots of old stuff - it's been there since 1233, what do you expect?

The range of beers is so-so, but it was the only time in Cornwall that I found an ale by my favourite brewery, Fullers of London (London Pride) - many pubs in the area are owned by or affiliated with St. Austell Brewery. The pub is of medium-size, with enough corners so you won't be disturbed when it gets busier. There is no outside seating area to the front, which is a bit of a shame considering the location. The beers are kept in good shape, and food also looked decent (I didn't eat there myself). The staff are down-to-earth and friendly and the décor, with its log timber ceiling, quite appealing. Beer prices aren't low, but they aren't anywhere else except at Spoons.
