A traditional Cornish inn steeped in history...

Welcome To The Tinners Arms

A traditional Cornish inn steeped in history, that has changed little in 700 years. We are enormously proud of The Tinners; it’s heritage and awe-inspiring location.

The Tinners is very much about family and the memories that can be made, shared, and remembered for years to come. We are passionate about sourcing food and drinks locally and use Cornish suppliers wherever possible.
So please come and join us for drink, lunch or dinner and join the wonderful family that is The Tinners

We are open for food:
Monday to Saturday, noon - 3pm for lunch and 5.30pm - 8pm for dinner.
Sunday: noon - 3pm.

Fantastic Locally Sourced Food

Our menus make the most of the local produce grown, reared and landed in West Cornwall.

Local Beers, Wines and Spirits

A pint of local ale. A punchy single malt.  A hand-crafted Cornish gin. Whatever your tipple, there’s always plenty to quench your thirst in our well-stocked bar.

About

Built in 1271, The Tinners Arms has been at the heart of village life in Zennor for over 700 years.


The Tinners was originally built to accommodate the masons who constructed St Senara’s Church – famous for its 600-year old Mermaid of Zennor bench. Yet, you’ll find little has changed over the years as modern life slips away as you step inside.

“At Zennor one sees infinite Atlantic, all peacock-mingled colours, and the gorse is sunshine itself. Zennor is a most beautiful place: a tiny granite village nestling under high shaggy moor-hills and a big sweep of lovely sea beyond, such a lovely sea lovelier even than the Mediterranean. It is the best place I have been in, I think.”

Stay with us at the Whitehouse

Nestled between the moors and rugged Atlantic coast in the village of Zennor, The White House Bed and Breakfast is an ideal base for exploring Cornwall’s untrammelled far west. Built in 1838, the Grade II listed building is full of Cornish character. With The Tinners Arms pub, dating back to 1271, and St Senara’s church, home to the famous mermaid, on your doorstep – not to mention miles of dramatic coast path–you’ll find plenty of reasons to keep coming back, all year round.

We recently had the pleasure of staying at The White House at The Tinners Arms and it was an exceptional experience.. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, as were the locals, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The bar offered an extensive selection of drinks, catering to a variety of tastes.

Highly recommend popping in this little old pub! We went after a long walk on the coast and were welcomed with fireplace, great local beers and lovely food! If you’re not driving there are buses back to st Ives from there on weekdays and there is a taxi phone outside the pub which you can dial for free! Vegetarian options: They have a veggie burger which they made vegan for me, very friendly staff.

Perfect spot for a post walk lunch! Lovely location with a nice outdoor area overlooking the hills. Atmosphere was relaxed and friendly and service was warm. We had Sunday roasts which were really generous in size and very yummy. A lovely place to spend an afternoon.
