Website

Large comfortable bars and a separate restaurant form part of this old hotel, which has had a role in the history and commerce of Penzance since the 16th century. Families are welcome; the parking space at the rear is limited. The single 'guest' beer is usually from the Sharp's Brewery range, but is not available during the winter months. The Union claims to be the first location in the UK where the death of Nelson was first announced.
