The Cornish Hen Delicatessen
The Cornish Hen is a tiny delicatessen with a big heart in the middle of Penzance. We offer the best of Cornwall with a decent dose of Spanish and Italian products as well. We are dedicated to providing and producing the most scrumptious Cornish treats for cooking, eating and entertaining.
We stock a wide range of Cornish produce including meats, cheeses, olives, pastries and pies. We also offer plenty of vegan treats to choose from, plus a range of speciality gluten free foods. For lunchtime snacks we have freshly made sandwiches, salads and yummy vegetable tarts, plus too many other goodies to mention!
Our gorgeous hampers are beautifully prepared and make an ideal gift for all occasions. Personally arranged by ourselves they are full of delicious local and specifically sourced produce.
You can place an order for local delivery, or if you’re visiting us in person we have a wonderful selection in store ready for you to take away.
With a variety of prices we have something for everybody and you can always get in touch with us about creating your own for a truly personal gift.
