Hooked!

South Cornwall


It's in a rather odd position down a side street off Lemon Quay, but this is probably the best place in Truro for seafood – mussels, fish dishes and sumptuous seafood platters, with fish supplied by local stalwarts, Stevenson's of Newlyn. The quasi-industrial decor (brick walls, pipes, glass) makes for a bit of an odd match, but the food is good.

From 5.30pm to 6.30pm, you get 15% off if you can show a ticket for the Hall for Cornwall or Plaza Cinema.
