Had an incredible meal here whilst on touring round Cornwall, we stumbled upon it by coincidence but were very impressed by the quality and presentation of the food! The sardines were also beautiful! Well worth a visit! The only issue is parking and anyone trying to find it! Definitely needs more marketing to show were it is.
Absolutely superb!! Came here for a spot of late lunch and was not disappointed! The venue is tucked away down a side alley and is very pleasant and rustic inside. The staff were very friendly, welcoming and helpful. The menu showcased local produce so well and every dish was perfectly cooked and tasted delicious! Absolutely would recommend and look forward to coming back as soon as I can
Excellent food. Well priced. Decent sized portions. Great environment. We had the fried loaded with crab, lemon sole, aubergine on whipped feta and the calamari. The lemon sole was the star of the show but the other dishes were very good.
Absolutely the best seafood in Penzance! Fresh, perfectly cooked dishes in a lively and welcoming atmosphere. The staff were friendly and attentive—made the whole experience even better. A must-visit if you’re in the area!
Superb food - beautiful cooked and beautiful presented. You could taste the freshness in all of the dishes. The hake fillet with Romesco sauce was stunning! But so was the scallops with chorizo the sauce/juices were delicious especially with fries dipped in it. Crab loaded fries was very generous with the crab and had the right balance of mayo on the French fries with the chilli giving the whole thing a nice kick. Every dish was gloriously tasty and I would happily recommend this place.
Fantastic dinner. White bait, squid, padrons, mussels were all delicious. nice friendly staff. Will return again at some point
A wonderful quirky delight! The food was amazing with great combinations of flavours. We will be back!
A new hidden gem of a place that’s deserving of the ‘word-of-mouth’ buzz! Already booked a special birthday in April as going to be THE place to go this season. Book ahead as fabulous small, authentic venue.
A great new restaurant for Penzance! We have had some brilliant meals…always delicious food and a friendly relaxed, atmosphere. Can’t wait for many more meals at BBs!
Been twice now, excellent food & service both times, and lovely intimate atmosphere. Will definitely become a regular
