D
ining at The Penventon in Redruth, a luxurious Georgian former mansion, is always an opulent experience in a truly grand setting. Serving the finest local produce for over 40 years, the hotel has built a well-earned reputation for its culinary delights. The grill-style menu in the newly renovated, steam punk inspired restaurant is well worth visiting for alone. We catch up with Head Chef Keith Brooksbank who shares a tasty prawn and squid dish, utilising our beautiful Cornish produce.
