The Famous Halzephron Inn at Gunwalloe in Cornwall.

Owner Angela Thomas and her team welcome you to one of the most historical and famous inns in the Westcountry - The Halzephron Inn.

Located near the idyllic fishing village of Gunwalloe on the Lizard peninsula and affording breathtaking views all around, we can offer you a unique experience.

Despite the peace and tranquility we offer in abundance, the imposing Cornish cliffs are nearby. The Inn was built around 500 years ago and is steeped in smuggling history, with the unforgiving coastline claiming many shipwrecks through the years...

We have seven family picnic tables which enjoy panoramic views across National Trust fields and the whole expanse of Mounts Bay. Many of our diners enjoy a walk down the lane opposite to the South West footpath and the mile long beach stretching from Fishing Cove to Porthleven, either before or after one of our delicious meals! The Pub is ideally situated for wonderful walks along the coastal footpath in either direction, towards Gunwalloe Church Cove and The Lizard, or towards Loe Pool, Porthleven and beyond.

There are also more tables in the courtyard and beer garden which overlook rolling fields and countryside. Inside there are a number of dining areas including cosy nooks, a lively bar area, a separate dining room and a self contained family room.

With an enviable award-winning reputation for the freshest local and seasonal food, our daily changing menus offer something for everyone. Food is at the heart of why we were named "Cornwall Dining Pub of the Year" 2001 & 2005 and we are also featured in AA Britains Best Pubs, Good Pub Guide 2009 and Michelin Guide 2009. Great local produce and an experienced kitchen team will produce the best the locale has to offer. All our ingredients are sourced from local suppliers whenever possible, for example our butcher Mr Retallack supplies all our prime quality local meat from his family based firm in nearby St. Keverne. Matthew Stevens of St Ives has a nationwide reputation for the quality of his fresh Cornish fish and shellfish, and we are very pleased to be able to name him as our main supplier of fish, delivered daily.

Our experienced team have been at the Inn for many years. Guests often comment that a visit to the pub is like visiting a friend's home!

For those wishing to stay with us, we have 2 cosy cottage style rooms available with resplendent countryside views. Contact us for more details.

We aim to make every visitor who comes to us feel very welcome!
