Pullens is a friendly, family-run restaurant. We are open from early morning ‘til late
and during the day we are many things to many people. Early coffee and internet on the way to work, full breakfast, morning coffee and pastry, light lunches , afternoon tea with home made cakes, happy hour drink on the way home, early supper on the way to the theatre, dinner with white linen, or  ‘continental’ late coffee and dessert.

Everything is homemade and sourced from responsible suppliers. Our style is a bit old-fashioned like me (Alan) the chefs have a passion for food and each bring something different to our cuisine from their various backgrounds. Old-fashion French - Alan, modern American - Judith, a good curry from Babu and hearty stews and soups from Jess and Paul  

Pullens has had many incarnations. First in the Victorian era as Pullens Dinning Room, and then between the wars as a gent’s outfitter (see the 30/- shilling suits in the middle window). At some time in the early1950s the two shops were turned into The Dania - a Danish restaurant.  In the 1970s, Au Provencal appeared under the rule of Cyril and Dermot who now live happily on the Isle of Sark where they run a very popular small hotel and restaurant. 

Alan and Debi – along with Debi’s sister and husband, Joanne and Colin – bought Restaurant Au Provencal in 1989. After seven years as Au Provencal the name of the restaurant was changed back to that of Pullens Dining Room, following the successful application for a full licence and a much needed re-decoration. During the re-decoration the beautiful windows were revealed, having been partially obscured by the old Au Provencal sign, and also the old tailors’ suit advertisements in the middle window (and a rather large wasps’ nest!). Jo and Colin parted company with Pullens (and each other) but are both frequent visitors.

Alan has had a long and successful career as a chef - having been head chef in noted country house hotels in the West Country and Oxfordshire. He was head chef at Wiltons, in Jermyn Street, before going on to run two successful wine bars - prior to owning Pullens.

Debi met Alan in Cornwall in a hotel where they both worked and they were married in Falmouth at the end of the 70s. She has spent many years working in the restaurant and bar side of the catering business but has recently branched out as an artist. She likes to encourage local artists by displaying their artworks in the bar and restaurant.
