OUR STOry

a public house with a long history…

A warm welcome to The Wig & Pen, Truro.

Set in the heart of Cornwall's only city, Truro, The Wig & Pen is a pub with a focus on great drinks, delicious food and friendly service.

The grade-two listed pub has been at the centre of the city for nearly 200 years, and has a long history, first as two separate villas, before becoming one. Once known as The Star Inn, the pub was then renamed in the 20th century to reflect its location near the county courthouse. 

Serving a range of beers and ales from St Austell Brewery, The Wig and Pen reflects Cornish produce throughout with a bar and dining menu designed to celebrate the very best the county has to offer.

Our menus change with the seasons and offer a range of bar snacks and pub classics as well as smaller and larger plates to satisfy all tastes from lunch through to dinner. Our Head Chef has an unrivalled passion for creating unique and delicious dishes, and alongside his team is excited to share his creations with you.

Expect a fresh and modern take on traditional British food with a few surprises along the way.

So why not join us in our newly-refurbished bar area or on our outside seating and enjoy an in-house cocktail, hand-selected wine or local ale whilst watching the world go by? Family & pet friendly.

We can't wait to meet you!

Tom, Lara and the whole Wig & Pen team.
