A traditional Cornish pub in a wonderful location overlooking the bay. A great place to enjoy a meal after a day on the beach!
This popular pub is in the centre of the village and serves fresh, local produce to order. Tables cannot be booked in advance so either arrive early or be prepared to wait at busy times. Dogs are made very welcome here.
The Cornish theatre with real wow' factor is the Minack. Perched on the cliffs at Porthcurno, the Minack is an open-air theatre-in-the-round – and a triumph of vision over reality.
Chef Ben Cunliffe serves up great quality food with a daily changing menu offering predominantly locally caught seafood. A great traditonal pub with real ales and friendly staff. Even your dog is welcome!
There is something truly magical about this place, the walk around the Cape has breathtaking views in all directions. In summer, there's a refreshment kiosk nearby, or pack up a picnic to enjoy at this stunning spot.
This welcoming, traditional pub takes its name from the nearby legendary rock that sits precariously perched up on the cliffs near Porthcurno. The pretty beer garden and marquee make it an attractive option after a day at one of the nearby beaches. Or warm up in the snug bar area after a wintry walk on the cliffs.
A traditional pub in the centre of the village. Food is served daily and has a good reputation for quality and value for money. There's a pool table and regular themed nights. Curry night is a particular favourite.
If a traditional Cornish pub is what you are looking for then look no further. Set in the heart of Pendeen this village pub offers decent beer and food with large beer garden for the summer months.
This little cove at the bottom of a lovely wooded valley still supports a small fishing fleet. Bring along the binoculars as it's good spot for birdwatching too.
