    Enjoying our meal at the Alverne
    Alan S.

    Visited the Alverne twice when in Penzance in June 2011, located in the town centre (turn right out of Causeway Head and it is on the Right beneath the Spa) The first lunch time visit (to check the place out) I enjoyed great service and just about the best burger and chips I have ever had. Following that visit I booked to take a friend whose birthday it was the following evening, and the four of us again enjoyed excellent service and food from a fantastic menu, (along with Specials changed daily on the board) Our food ranged from Starters of, Chorizo Croustini, Whitebait and Scollops, followed by mains of Belly Pork with crackling, Confit of Duck, Fish and Chips, and Haddock fillet, washed down with some Tempranillo Wine, followed by some local ice creams (that's all we had room for) and my first try of Apple Pie Ice Cream!! Which was great then we finished with coffee. I cannot compliment this bar/restaurant enough, and could recommend it to anyone in Penzance

    Service is good and friendly. Food tasted average, presentation is very pleasing. It was a quiet night and off season.

    Super great restaurant. Love the breakfast, the buttered King Prawn starter, the clotted cream ice cream and everything I had over there!

    Excellent food, Excellent service, Excellent environment - huge portions. We ate there four times…read moreduring our week in Looe. The food was really first class and the front of house staff were first rate.

    Mixed emotions today - I had an urge for a crab sandwich for lunch and Lascares looked inviting,…read morewith menu boards outside advertising crab. Went in, asked the very nice staff if they had crab, to which the answer was yes, seated at table for 2. My wife and I waited 20 minutes for a menu, although it was not busy,chose crab sandwiches, waited 10 minutes to be told 'crab is still alive, has not been prepared'. We were offered another choice,so plumped for ploughmans. We were offered a plate of olives, 'on the house' as recompense. We were sat just inside the open front, as our meal was served, 4 women sat at the table outside (but next to us) and proceeded to chain smoke throughout our meal, the exhalations wafted over us and filled the area, there was no escape, it was quite disgusting. Add to this the awful ambient music track mixed with a busker with a flute clamouring for attention and the scene was complete. I felt sorry for the staff, who were doing their best, but there is a lack of attention to detail that spoils the experience, and this detracted from some quite acceptable food. I was quite upset about the crab, which was advertised on the menu boards, and if it was fresh in that morning, it should have been cooked and prepared ready for lunch customers.
