"We went to Penrose Kitchen on the last night of my cousin's visit to Cornwall from Australia. Can't praise Sam, Ben and the staff highly enough! Relaxed atmosphere, fabulous food and great service. We'll definitely be back looking forward to next time!!"
Had a lovely Sunday lunch for 9 of us to celebrate a family birthday. The whole team were very friendly, and we were seated quickly and drinks orders taken and delivered promptly. This set the tone for the visit in terms of Service, which throughout was efficient and friendly, as well as being attentive without being overbearing; so a great job from the front of house team. The chefs in the kitchen also did a similarly great job, each dish was beautifully cooked, and the roast beef in particular was a stand out for being tender and full of flavour. What was also noticeable was that the they managed to feed 9 of us with the dishes for each course coming pretty much all at the same time; witho...
Located in the beautiful surroundings of Truro, The Penrose Kitchen is a culinary oasis that offers an unforgettable dining experience. From the moment my wife and I entered this elegant restaurant, we were impressed by the sophisticated atmosphere. Our evening began with expertly crafted martini cocktails that prepared us for the culinary journey ahead. The menu offered a variety of delicious options, with my wife choosing a twice-baked soufflé and myself enjoying scallops with black pudding. The main courses were equally delightful, with my wife's halibut and my filet of beef paired perfectly with an Argentinian Malbec. The service was attentive and knowledgeable, adding to the overall exp...
We thoroughly enjoyed our first visit to Penrose Kitchen today. We both opted for the set menu, which was primarily fish-based and didn't disappoint. I had the haddock fishcakes and my other half chose the pate. The latter came with one slice of toast which we considered a bit stingy, but you couldn't fault the immense flavour in either dish. For the main course, my partner chose the sole and I had the beef brisket. Again, both meals were delicious. I was so full after my two courses, I took the easy route out and ordered another glass of the fabulous French rose wine, (dry), whilst my other half managed to squeeze in a vanilla pannacotta with berries and a dollop of cornish iced cream. The...
We had a wonderful experience at the Penrose Kitchen. We were greeted by Sam, who was friendly and extremely accommodating. The menu provided a great selection of fish and meat dishes, all of which were served with carefully selected sides and vegetables, that complemented the main part of the dish. The starter cheese soufflé was a mouth watering delight and I can see why it always remains of every menu-just gorgeous! We were with our adult daughter, who is gluten intolerant and the majority of the menu was suitable for her or could be easily adapted. Unfortunately none of us had room for pudding, so next time we visit, we will refrain from a starter and try these! Overall a faultless evenin...

I’m reluctant to do this review as I’m not sure I want too many people to find out about this place, it might get too busy!? Forewarned about the cheese soufflé so had very high expectations…it was as good as they said! My bass main course was even better, a wonderful plate of interesting tastes put together with much attention to detail the fish cooked to perfection, Ben clearly knows how to cook food simply one of my most favourite plates of fish in a long while. Beautiful yet subtle personable service throughout and made to feel very ‘warmly’ welcome. Left here with a feeling like we had just experienced something a bit special…but we weren’t anywhere near the south east of England, we we...
Hidden away off the beaten track, Penrose Kitchen is a true gem that is worth seeking out. From the warm welcome to the superb food and cooking, every aspect of the dining experience is top-notch. While not cheap, the £60 per person price tag for a three-course gourmet meal and a glass of wine is well worth it. We dined on the deck overlooking the lily ponds on a lovely warm evening, and couldn't get enough of the just baked, warm homemade bread. Penrose Kitchen is a unique and slightly quirky restaurant that exemplifies Cornwall's culinary excellence. Fabulous dining experience overall.
But thank goodness we live 300+ miles away! We visited today for our first wedding anniversary. The food, service and ambiance did not disappoint I had cheese soufflé to start (it’s divine) and hubby had chicken parfait. Followed by lobster (me, yum. It was my wedding anniversary) and he had roast chicken which looked lovely. Date pudding with sticky toffee sauce and I had mango sorbet rounded off a lovely meal. We then had a lovely walk around the water gardens which I highly recommend.
A lovely setting for this excellent restaurant not far from Truro. There is a spacious feel and the atmosphere is enhanced by the original art work on the walls. We had a very good three course meal. Interesting menu choices make the most of locally produced ingredients including fresh fish and organic vegetables. Desserts were delicious. Service was personal and friendly.

We decided to have lunch at this restaurant, even though we are locals and had never been before. The location was great and the food and service were equally fantastic. It was the best dining experience we've had in a while, and we will definitely be returning with friends and family soon!
