The Crown Inn
Snug little pub tucked away on Bread Street, off Penzance's main Market Jew Street. Friendly staff, good homemade food (try the pizzas) and local ales make it a popular spot for locals. The Sunday roasts are among the best in town, but space is limited, so it's advisable to book.

The Rising Sun
A 16th century inn a couple of miles from Altarnun on an unmarked lane heading towards Camelford on the North Coast. This is a great single-room pub with slate floors and an old oak bar worn smooth by years of resting elbows. Known locally for excellent food which is served in the bar or for the full blown lunch or dinner, there is a slightly more formal restaurant. A good selection of real ales, mouth watering food and a welcoming atmosphere whether you want a sandwich or a three course dinner.

Named after the legendary Dorset cheese (Monty Python fans may recall it mentioned in the 'Cheese Shop Sketch'). The Blue Vinny has a great menu (naturally, featuring dishes such as sirloin steak glazed with Blue Vinny, with wild mushrooms and hand cut chips), and a lovely big beer garden to sleep it all off.
