Friendly staff, cheap drinks and cozy atmosphere. The staff kindly took our luggage although they don't advertise this service (saved us carrying heavy bags all afternoon, thanks!)

Family Birthday dinner we had the best of time. Food excellent. Service was great. Kindness and courtesy were fantastic. Highly recommend.

Always go to this pub when we are in Penzance. Mainly because the landlord (or manager) is so good. Rare these days to see someone so skilled at the job of publican. Food is good too, fish and chips were excellent.

Excellent, good food and a very welcoming pub for those with dogs. Staff pleasant and entertaining (loved listening to 2 bar staff having an open in depth conversation (I'll say no more).

Our second year running staying overnight, before sailing to the Isles of Scilly the next day. The rooms are bright and airy and the towels and bed linen are super soft. Breakfast is a hearty meal and all staff are friendly and welcoming. The tavern is perfectly located for a stay in Penzance and I'd be reluctant to stay anywhere else but here. 😊

The dolphin is a holiday favourite and we always visit on our last night as a special treat.
Unfortunately the service was very poor on Friday,We were left for long periods and had to go to bar to order more drinks. We also decided against desserts due to a long wait. A family on the table next to ours was heavily swearing which was nice as we had two children with us (Not your fault I know) Food was lovely as always although though starter choices were limited. A shame the wait has marred our visit, perhaps we need to try else where?

What's not to like about this pub?
May be the closest you will ever get to a transport hub without being in it. So close to the ferry you could fling your case to the loading bey.
Smart, spacious and comfortable rooms, all well equipped. The food is excellent too with welcoming staff.
