Information
PENZANCE
Cornwall’s most westerly borough, Penzance is situated in an area of outstanding natural beauty, peppered with geographical, historical and cultural wonders. It is a place steeped in myths and legends and has been the source of inspiration for artists, writers and poets for hundreds of years. From the perilous cliff top walks to the ancient fishing villages, the sub-tropical vegetation and Bronze and Iron Age places of mystery it is a truly magical place. But uppermost of all Town and surrounding area’s attractions is its inseparable connection with the sea. After all its notoriety as a haven for smugglers and wreckers was the inspiration for Gilbert and Sullivan’s most famous production ‘The Pirates of Penzance’.
It is no wonder then that this magnificent strip of coastline is a huge magnet for Sailing enthusiasts and Pleasure Boaters from all over Britain and beyond. Indeed Mounts Bay is celebrated across the globe for the regular Championships held there for a wide variety of classes. The harbour has around 50 (reasonably priced) berths and excellent facilities. There is also a good Sailing Club that offers Penzance calibre hospitality, tuition and all kinds of nautical services.
Mount’s Bay is also home to Penzance’s star attraction, the magnificent island castle of St. Michael’s Mount. Second only to the castle is the Minack Theatre which is has to have the most dramatic setting of any stage in the UK, perched in the cliffs above the sea. Lands End is only 10 miles away and other nearby attractions include the Tate Gallery at St.Ives, Flambards Theme Park at Helston and the Seal Sanctuary at Gweek. The reputation of the beaches in around the Peninsula are the stuff of holiday history and are by far the main reason so many people flock the area each year.
The town itself has a great reputation for its tradition of friendly welcomes; a tradition it is most proud of. It also boasts the very best in Cornish food, drink and entertainment with a great choice of bars, pubs, clubs and restaurants. During the long summer days there is nothing quite like strolling round the town centre soaking up the atmosphere which can only be described as a relaxed bustle. So whatever you’re looking for from a holiday by the seaside you’d actually be hard pushed to top a visit to Penzance.

Boatshed Cafe-Bar
A VISIT TO THE BOATSHED CAFE BAR PENZANCE IS MUCH MORE THAN JUST A DINING EXPEREINCE.
Located on the picturesque harbour side of Penzance town in the South West of England. We pride ourselves on using only the best fresh local ingredients. We offer a range of dishes to suite the whole family or business party from locally caught seafood to the finest West Country Steaks.
We have a full selection of popular starters/sharers which includes items such as Nachos, Moules Mariniere, Grilled Goats Cheese, Seafood and Vegetarian Tapas. Our chef has a regular and ever changing specials menu to tempt you with. We also have an excellent selection of local and new world wines to complement your meal.
Coming to the Boatshed is much more than just a dining experience. This is one of the oldest parts of town where much of the original maritime commercial activity that helped to establish Penzance started from. The Boatshed is an authentic old wharf side building located on the harbour front in Penzance. As you dine beneath great beams and masts of old sailing vessels the atmosphere wreaks of a bygone era of smuggling and shipwrecking. With trading connections and seafaring links with all parts of the continent as well as the new world it has been mentioned that beneath the timbers of the old store and restaurant room, Masters of Neapolitan brigs our of Rio, or homeward bound East Indiamen transacted a bargain or two amidst the rich aromas of Geneva Gin, Schnapps and Turkey Twist. The romance of this past era is still prevalent today when you visit us.
During the season, the Boatshed Café bar is open throughout the day and evening – with the main first floor restaurant being open in the evenings. The Cafe Bar has a distinctly continental feel in keeping with its original heritage. If you care to take a stroll around the harbour to take in the general boating scene you may today be tempted by the rich aroma of freshly ground coffee or to sample one of our splendid wines or beers and watch the world go by from the outside terrace. We have a range of tapas or light bites throughout the day as well as the full dining experience. Children are very welcome and we do indeed provide a children's menu.
We have a fully licensed bar and can cater for private parties including buffets. Our bar and functions room is an ideal venue for birthday parties. We also have free Wi Fi facilities for our customers.
