Kier Meikle of the Navy Inn owes me almost £200 in EARNED wages. Please do the right thing and do not support an employer who does not pay his staff. There are many other restaurants in Penzance which offer better service and better food at a better price. In short, I did trial at the Navy under the agreement I would be earning £250 per week. I worked the week, and recieved £69. Apparently the owner and I "agreed" on this, although no conversation ever took place where I was told that for one day I would be working for no payment whatsoever, and the rest I would be getting minimum wage of £4.83 p/h. I would also warn you that this chef regularly yells at customers, kicks them out, makes people leave if they aren't spending enough and someone could sit at their table and spend more.

During a very wet and windy stay in Cornwall in November 2009, we visited the Navy Inn as it had been recommended by a friend. As foodies, we can be quite easily disappointed but in this case there can only be praise. The decor is traditional pub, which is hard to find in a gastro pub, and the food and wine were superb, especially the food, and very reasonable. It is food for foodies though, and the brilliant chef does not suffer fusses gladly. All in all, brilliant!

Visited for Sunday lunch last weekend with my very fussy partner. The Navy is a gastro pub with an old school feel, we started with a lovely home made terrine with leaves followed by gorgeous roast beef-cooked pink, delicious gravy and a crispy and huge yorkshire pudding. Worth a visit just for that yorkshire alone!! Best Sunday Roast in Cornwall in our opinion. £8.95!

Pub Going Customer

I had a very bad experience at The Navy in Penzance. Whilst enjoying a pint with my friends, I picked up the candle, only to be told by the chef that, in a very aggressive way, that I should not touch it as it cost more that the profit he makes on a barrel of beer. He then muttered a four letter expletive under his breath. Not a nice experience - would not recommend the place.

I love the food in this pub and go back as often as I can. The menu changes regularly and is really imaginative. As a veggie, eating out can get boring but not at The Navy - everything is wonderful and often something I have not had before. The puddings are fabulous and the homemade chips are the best in Cornwall. It's a friendly, relaxed pub with great food and staff that know their stuff and care. I just wish it was in St Ives so I could go more often.

Have enjoyed the finest cooked Sardines ever, at The Navy. Keep going back for more. Spratts are even more enjoyable. Rob Harding.

We eat here as often as we can, top notch for Sunday lunch and great choices during the week. The menus change frequently and I am always struggling to choose what to eat, great home made chips and the desserts are over the top delicious.

The worst restaurant experience my wife and I have ever had. Having been a chef myself, I was appalled at the service and owner/chef of this establishment. We ordered a seafood pie and a risotto to share, both tasted ok. After a few bites of the pie, I was biting into an unchewable piece that I found was a scale. Each and every bite thereafter contained scales. I looked at the salmon and found it covered in scales. This was unacceptable. Descaling a fish is a basic culinary rule (for a dish like this), that was not followed. The worst was yet to come. I asked to speak to the manager; the chef/owner came out. I politely told him about my displeasure and asked to have the pie removed from bill (we had only had a few bites), he refused and became very angry, rude, and unprofessional. I felt like I was on an episode of "Hell's Kitchen. Do yourself a favor and avoid this restaurant.
