Within reason, you may amend the booking (dates and party size) online but seat purchases are non-refundable. I'm sorry but, as a one man kitchen, it is not possible for me to cater for allergies or dietary requirements, if you book you may miss out elements of the meal. Due to the small size of the dining room, we also do not allow animals of any kind into the restaurant.
Services
The Shore is an intimate eatery with a supper club vibe. I serve a set menu crafted using the best local ingredients. Ethically sensitive products help me create my dishes, from Newlyn fish to the best meat & vegetables local growers and farmers. Please note; due to this being a one man kitchen and with the reduced capacity due to current regulations, we do not provide alternatives for dietary requests or children's options.

Good heavens. It's hard to find the appropriate superlatives to describe this experience.
There are no choices - that in itself is rather wonderful.
It is a lot of money, but you soon realise that it is not expensive.
This is eating at the hand of a chef who's at the top of his game, creating the very best combinations of the very best foods available, and everything is very local.
Choose a fabulous bottle of wine.
Eat slowly.
Savour every mouthful.
Then start saving for your next visit.
Thank you to the enthusiastic chef Bruce and his excellent assistant.
We thoroughly enjoyed the evening

If you want to add something special to your holiday this place ticks all the boxes.
The food is great the chef has a wonderful enthusiasm and the service was excellent.
Also the restaurant has a cosy vibe with great music.And not at all pretentious.
The only shortfall was that the main course was luke warm as the plates were not hot enough and as this was the best monkfish I've ever tasted this was a shame.

If you are coming to Penzance, don’t miss out! We had a fantastic experience at Shore. Not your usual restaurant with the chef a one man band and greeting you bare footed for your meal, but what he cooks up is incredibly tasty. We are in love with the wasabi sorbet! Everything is very fresh and from local producers. The wine pairing was very nice as well. All in all a great evening, we will definitely be back!

Phenomenal experience! Bruce was very informative about the ingredients in the dishes. The flavors were magnificent in each course. I could really see that Bruce put his heart and soul into each dish. He had fresh fruit and vegetables into each course from his garden. He even said that the fish was the best of the best. The desert was splendid. It was good to know that the food was fresh.

This is what a dining experience is all about. A chef who is passionate about cooking great food for people in a small and relaxed environment.
As a meat fan coming to a fish restaurant with a set menu I could not see before we arrived filled me with slight anxiousness about what I would enjoy.
On entry it was obvious The Shore was something different being greeted by owner, chef and bottle washer Bruce Rennie who's enthusiasm was clear from the offset. Inside there were just 5 tables ranging from 2 to 4 places. The tables were a work of art with wood and blue inset reminding us straight away

As a trained chef myself, eating in any restaurant is a bit of a challenge as I'm constantly looking for faults and missed bits.
The Shore does not disappoint!
Every single course was presented well and carefully explained by the team.
The cook on every dish was perfect and even though my girlfriend is a pescetarian we were graciously catered for by the team and one of the courses was adapted for her dietary requirements. I could not fault the flavours delivered to us. All local, seasonal produce from organic farms too.
There was just the right amount of food served, our set menu was 4 courses

This is one of the finest dining experiences I have ever had. You get a set menu of 6 dishes - small plates that are beautifully presented, inventive, delicious and delicate. You can choose a bottle of wine or have a glass with each dish chosen to compliment the food. I would have given it 5 stars if some of the dishes were just a little more of a mouthful. Not for those who prefer an all you can eat kinda place.

Hidden gem in the southwest England. So glad we came. We had the 7 courses tasting menu. It was absolutely amazing experience with highlight followed by another highlight. The food has complex layers of different flavour and texture, with influence from various cultures..Japanese, Chinese, Indian, South American, yet surprisingly beautifully blended together. My personal favourite is the strawberry desert with basil sorbet..impressive piece of art. Thank you Bruce!
