Featured Truro Restaurants
1. Penrose Kitchen
British, Modern restaurant in Truro
Penrose Water Garden, Tregavethan - TR4
“Idyllically located” – in a timber building complete with log-burner and large outside terrace, and set “next to former water gardens, in a sheltered, quiet valley a little way out of Truro” – this four-year-old venue doesn’t generate huge feedback, but such as there is lavishes it with praise. Prices are reasonable, and chef Ben Harmer offers a choice of four dishes for each course, with “an extensive local cheese board” a great way to finish a meal.
2. Hidden Hut
Sandwiches, cakes, etc restaurant in Truro
Portscatho Beach - TR2
“No longer hidden” owing to its rave reviews (not least for oversubscribed ‘feast nights’), “but still great value after a coastal walk” – this “gem” of a shack on the Roseland Peninsula gets a “five for ambience because of that view”. Add in “genuinely delicious, hearty food” (pasties, clotted-cream ice-cream etc) and “what’s not to like?”. (Open in British Summer Time months only, plus a week at Christmas.)
3. Tabb’s
British, Modern restaurant in Truro
85 Kenwyn St - TR1
“Hidden gem” – “a bit pushed for space” but “intimate” – “off the beaten track in Truro” that’s “well worth seeking out” for chef Nigel Tabb’s “skillful use of seasonal Cornish ingredients” and also the wine list: “well-chosen, with descriptions you can rely on; a good selection by the glass; and some really interesting bottles; all at very reasonable prices”.
4. Hubbox
Burgers, etc restaurant in Truro
116 Kenwyn Street - TR1
“Good burgers”, “good chips – both potato and sweet potato”, “truly excellent onion rings and tortillas” and “an excellent selection of draught beers and cider” feature on the menu at this funky West Country fast-food chain with eight outlets. “Will def go back!”
