As such, I really had trouble finding gastropub style places with a decent menu. We stumbled on this one after being turned away from Butcher's Bistro for our lack of reservation. Despite being decorated like a contemporary old folks home (it had a sort of corporate-comfortable feel, it was seriously odd), it offered the closest thing to a modern gastro pub and even has an amazing view of the sea. Incredibly, at 8pm on a Saturday night, we waltzed in and grabbed a table with a killer view, found local pints on the list and award-winning fish and chips on the menu. Score. Service was super friendly and food was great. Did I mention the view?! We watched the beautiful sunset from the floor to ceiling windows and made an agreement that next time we'd have the foresight to bring along a deck of cards to entertain us for an afternoon of pint swilling.

High above the harbour with fab views. If you are brave enough, go higher still. We were only in for a pint or two but seeing the food made our mouths water and we relented to prawns with an outstanding relish which I have since copied. A relish of pineapple with various other ingredients but it's the hint of finely cut chilli that hits you. A fab harbour pub, friendly service by young staff (they need to be with those stairs). TIP: watch the sea gulls, they are buggers for chips

This review is for the restaurant/pub from an American perspective…read more Our family enjoyed a nice dinner at the Badger pub before doing the Tuesday night pub quiz. We all really enjoyed our meals ranging from the special sea bass, to fish and chips and shrimp fajitas. (They didn't call it fajitas of course but something along the line of sizzling shrimp.) The flavors were great, portion sizes were quite generous and service was good. There was plenty of seating inside and nice toilets, one complete with a diaper changing station which is always appreciative traveling with a 3 month old. We loved the food and would definitely return to try other items on the menu. The desserts weren't amazing but the dinner made up for it. Also, the pub quiz was really well done and made the night even more memorable.

As much as I am a lover not a fighter, I am also a drinker not an eater so I was distinctly unimpressed by this. Child friendly too so ticking another of the wrong boxes. My proper job was very good though, then again I am yet to have an 'improper' pint of this excellent brew. Does accommodation too.

The Tinners Arms is a grade 2 listed traditional Cornish pub in Zennor dating back to 1271. The…read morename is derived from the tinners, with records of tin extraction in the area dating back to Tudor times. D.H.

From here are wonderful coastal works where you can find the dramatic Cornish coastline.

In this…read moresmall community we found a quaint pub, The Tinners Arms, so naturally decided to stop for a swift half (or two). Lovely interior and, luckily on this hot day, a beautiful garden full of greenery and hanging baskets of colourful flowers. The perfect place for that quick 'half'. My partner saw, as we arrived, a place for the Cornish Cream Tea which we decided to visit BUT then we saw the delectable meals and nibbles that were being brought out of the kitchen of the pub. Seeing beer mugs full of 'shell on' prawns, she decided to forego the cream tea. She went in the pub to order and before she had returned, the cutlery arrived followed, a few minutes later by the prawns with fresh local bread, butter and a small dish of mayo. The prawns were jammed into the mugs, to its full capacity. You can't beat the friendly, fast, service. I jokingly said to the server that I thought it very unfair that they walked past each table with the various plates of food making the taste buds salivate. He answered that we should have taken a table around the corner then we wouldn't have seen the food. Laughing. Great pub. Looking forward to a repeat visit some time in the future.

I used to enjoy and love this place…read more Being in Cornwall again last week a friend asked me if I wanted to go for a meal and we decided to try Gurnard Head again. We drove up on Monday afternoon 25th Oct to book a table, for Tuesday night. The front window is FULL of Michelin, recommended stickers, and every other possible award or recommendation possible, in fact so many it looks a mess. Is it me? Have I got two heads? No, but they are so rude, unhelpful and would go as far as to say they look at you as if you are so beneath them they do not even want to speak to you. My friend (who is an actor and the friendliest person you could meet) spoke to the bar staff, asking if it was possible to book a table, (so it is not just me) the end result was he said did not want to book after how we were spoken to by the staff. We were told we could ONLY book for 8.30, not, we are sorry that is the only space we have etc as most restaurants would do, we asked to see a menu, and were told no, as it changes every day!! They just seem so unwilling to treat you as a customer more as an inconvenience to them. We asked about eating in the bar, and they said at the bar we said no at a table in the bar, and the barman snapped in the bar at a table same thing, well unless you check it you may end up eating at the bar, there is no need to be so snappy and rude. It is too late to arrive to find you are having a meal actually sitting at the bar What a way to run a business, do the owners know? I wanted to eat and spend money with them, but was driven away by attitude. Why would you spend money in a place that treats you like that? The young blond tall barman we dealt with made us feel we were not welcome, and spoke to us like dirt, we had a coffee and left, have they no idea how to serve customers, do they care? I think not, they seem to have so many reviews that they do not care, I wish I could witness the Michelin reviewers visits, as they must know who they are, as no way on earth is this a friendly place. The bar looked very tatty, I would hope it is called shabby chic, but think it is more just tatty, worn and shabby. On a positive note a young chef came to the bar to check the evenings bookings and he smiled over at us, and a customer passing through asked him if he was the chef and complemented him on the fabulous meal they had just had. My question to the owners is, are you aware how many customers are being driven away by your rude staff, or are the rude staff the owners? We went away and went to a different restaurant, and had a great meal and friendly service. Best to stay away from Gurnard Head, far better and friendlier places to eat in Cornwall.

Just follow the signs past the Mayflower Steps and walk up the hill -- you'll find it! The fish and chips platter is massive. I'm not entirely sure how big a cod is but I think I had most of it on my plate. The chips were very good, as were the mushy peas, but there was just no hope of finishing it. I've had the Sunday roast beef as well, with all the usual accompaniments including Yorkshire Pudding. While it's not the best I've had thus far in my time in the UK (that honor belongs to The Cherub in Dartmouth) it was probably #2 on the list. Much like the fish and chips, it was more food than I could come close to eating in one sitting, but really excellent quality. The gravy was very flavorful and worked well with all the veggies on the plate. It's surprising but nice to have table service in an old pub like the Fisherman's Arms and the place has a nice relaxed atmosphere. I think this is a little more expensive than your average Sunday pub roast, but with the service I think it was worth it.
