Foundry 34 in Eden

Great service, the staff looked after us well and made us feel very welcome. Really big portions, we had a starter and main each but couldn't manage a dessert. Good value for money.

We have been as a family for a few times for Sunday lunch and have never been disappointed. The food has always been tasty and hot, and the service quick and friendly. I would say this is the best value lunch, particularly if you have 2 courses, in town. Would not hesitate to return

Our table was booked to coincide with the end of the Droving festival and torch lit procession, which we had just taken part in, so the restaurant was understandably very busy when we arrived. Despite this and us being slightly early, we were promptly seated and presented with our menus, which our host explained was supplemented by more dishes that could be viewed by scanning a QR code, so plenty to choose from. Our host also explained that there were only two chefs, so there may be some waiting for our food. As it was, there was no wait for food, or at least none that we noticed, and our starters and mains, which were from the hard copy menu rather than the digital supplement were all fresh, well presented and tasty. They were filling too, so no one went for dessert. All in our meal for four and three rounds of drinks came in just under £180, so it was excellent value for money. We will definitely come back to Foundry 34 the next time we visit our family, but in the meantime, we would recommend it to anyone looking for a great meal in Penrith.

When we arrived we were informed there would be a bit of a wait due to a delay with the ordering system but only waited 15 minutes. The service was great and food delicious!

East to book and confirm on line. Came in to eat with a business colleague very relaxed and friendly dining experience . Great menu all freshly prepared and served by a friendly team

Great food bit off the main drag.

Excellent meal last night, we ordered a selection of starters to share and I must say, the cheese soufflé was delicious.

We went for our ‘work Christmas meal 2023’ - better late than never! What a lovely evening we had. We provided Christmas decorations and crackers (much to their surprise), but they got into the Christmas spirit immediately when we explained that we had missed our 2023 Christmas meal and why. They put on some Christmas music for us and a wonderful waitress put on her Christmas glasses. They made us jugs of Christmas mocktails to go with the gorgeous food. I had fish and chips and the fish and batter was beautiful. Then a delicious warm brownie with chocolate sauce and ice cream to finish. They went above and beyond to make our experience really good and memorable. So, with the exceptional staff and food, I would definitely recommend going to Foundry 34.

Superb! Friendliness of all staff, rooms very clean, air conditioning in the rooms that worked a treat. Great breakfast. Will be back.

Having planned our wedding meals for our special day we didn't know what to expect. Well what can we say, it was amazing. Service was excellent and the food we received was absolutely so outstanding. Cannot fault anything. Our small party had the best time. We would recommend Foundry 34 if your looking for a lovely place to stay and planning a little party. You wont be disappointed. Cocktails on tap and great food. Thanks for making our day even more special. 👌

Nice bed hot shower , clean rooms , lovely breakfast and staff excellent. Special note the aircon is brilliant and it was 25c outside.

They offer a wide range of foods to select. All were excellent and severed hot. The kitchen staff do an excellent job. The only compliant is the volume of the music played.

Excellent food and friendly, helpful staff - highly recommend - will visit again. We had dinner, bed and breakfast. Thank you.

Booked for Saturday night, 4 adults 1 kid! Pleased we did. From start to finish everything was brilliant, staff interacted with our granddaughter, she definitely didn’t get bored. Service was spot on and the food was 5 star. Thank you, and we’ll definitely be back.

Nice place and good food,felt room 8 could do with more space as you go in room door,lively toilet .

Just had a lovely meal with my family to celebrate my daughters birthday. Service was spot on as was the food, and the cocktails ( I recommend the Bramble ) was really nice , will go again .

The food was lovely we where having a hen party so had a banquet and it was amazing, a nice variety of different foods. The staff where very good and efficient. Will definitely be back and recommend you to family and friends

Thank you Chloe you’re the best ever. ⭐️

A warm and friendly restaurant serving the most beautiful food. The staff are brilliant. As a local, it’s our go to for food because it’s always top notch - whether you’re having a roast, fish & chips or bottomless brunch. I would recommend Foundry 34 to everyone 🤩

Wonderful staff, amazing food and shocked when the bill came at how little it all cost.

Staying at the Penrith Travel lodge and wanted a meal. Found the Foundry 54 name and rang the number where we booked our meal for 6.30pm.We arrived and were quickly shown to our table and drinks order taken by well presented staff. The place had only 5 people eating when we arrived I think because England were playing in the Euros Our starters arrived and wich was most tasty and with not too long of a wait our main coarse arrived. Again very tasty and more than enough to eat. By this time the resteraunt was filling up fast. All in all a lovely meal and there is no way you would leave feeling hungry A jewel for Penrith

We were staying in the Foundry 34 hotel which is a budget hotel in cost terms but far better than that in what you get for your money. We booked the in-house restaurant run by the friendly and hard working Anthony that evening (he also checked us in to the hotel although we had done most of that online in advance) but all staff were efficient, helpful, warm and friendly. We shared the halloumi fries (probably the best that we’d had) and the tender salt and pepper crispy squid to start followed by the sea bass which was excellent and plenty of it. We dine out a lot but this was far better than we expected - gastro-pub quality and atmosphere but less expensive.

Fab experience, we did an afternoon bottomless brunch, you got 4 drinks and a main course meal. All meals were lovely and tasty, cocktails and drinks were lovely. The waitress was very busy making drinks, serving food and taking order also booking people into rooms, but nothing was to much trouble and she was lovely and helpful, no complaints here

We went to the Foundry, having been before and knowing the quality. This time though there were 24 members of our family ranging in age from 8 months to 91 years. We mainly went for the superb fish and chips with various sauces. The food was awesome. The service was excellent and every one of all ages felt looked after. Would fully recommend the Foundry whether for a sit down meal or the best fish and chips in the country takeaway.

Probably the best steak I've ever eaten. Highly recommend the flat iron

Went for a special lunch deal. 8 of us. Had to book in advance. Meal and unlimited drinks. Table service only. To be fair, the girls worked their butts off keeping everyone topped up. And the food was gorgeous. As ever. Very, very impressed. Well worth the money. Had a fantastic time! When we found out they were doing another bottomless lunch, (in June), we just had to go again. However one of our party is allergic to Lemon so I emailed this to them. I was contacted by phone and we had a good chat about it. And on the day they were super attentive to the situation. We all had yet another great experience. Keep 'em coming foundry! 👌👏👏👏

Excellent venue and great value, food amazing and great staff

Good food but a little bit crowded

Had a good stay and breakfast was good

We had an evening meal here on a Sunday. The food was very good other than the flatbread was way too big and would have been fine at half the size. The waiting on staff were very friendly and attentive and the guy strumming his guitar kept us entertained. Definitely recommend

Had a very nice meal here though the burger was only lukewarm. All very tasty though. So much so that I forgot to take photos until halfway through the starters😁

Lively on a Friday night. Family friendly. Good food. Good service.

Visited for evening meal. Lovely food and enjoyable experience. Will definitely return.

Had a lovely dinner, staff were very considerate and the food was really good and well priced.

We visited here on our weekend away in the Lake District. We did reserve a table here as we were visiting on a Saturday night and as we walked in there was actually only one table left, which was our table. There is more seating upstairs though, but that also seemed busy. It was a lovely evening with good food and entertainment. When we arrived we were greeted by friendly staff that assisted us to our table and gave us a drinks menu and food menu. Both menus offered a wide range of choices, something for everyone from cocktails to mocktails on the drinks menu, and curry's to burgers and wraps on the food menu. We opted for a bottle of Sauvignon to drink which was very easy drinking. For starters we ordered the garlic, prawn and chorizo pil pil, this was very tasty but not the same as a traditional pil pil we’ve had before in Spain. It had less garlic and chilli, and peppers instead. For the mains we ordered the chicken katsu curry and the BBQ pulled pork and mozzarella wrap. The portions were large and great value for the money, they were also very tasty too. We also ordered a dessert despite being very full from the starter and main but we’re glad we did! We opted for the biscoff waffle and an Affogato. The Affogatto wasn’t actually on the menu but was served upon our request, which was great service! Both of the desserts were delicious. When we arrived at the restaurant we noticed that there was going to be a live singer that evening. By 9pm the restaurant had evolved from being a nice casual restaurant to a lovely bar where the singer had people up dancing and singing along, it was amazing entertainment! We booked for 7:30pm which was timed perfectly for the entertainment starting after we finished our meal, any later and we may have been eating as the lively entertainment started. We did also order a mojito which unfortunately was quite disappointing, being extremely syrupy with lots of sugar at the bottom, but other than that we have absolutely no reason to fault this place. The service, staff, food, value and entertainment were all brilliant and if we ever return to the Lake District, we will certainly visit here again.

Four of us were here for a birthday meal. The staff could not have been friendlier or more helpful as one of our party needed a gluten / dairy free menu and this was supplied without any fuss. The food was delicious - we had mains and deserts, absolutely faultless and the cocktails were amazing Thank you for a lovely night, we will definitely be back .

Great place for a relaxing drink or meal, excellent service, fantastic food, refreshing, exciting, changing menu, Very reasonably priced. It is our place to go to together!

We booked a table for 7-15pm and arrived at 7pm they said they would let us in but could not take our order until 7-15 pm as they were taking orders from those people who were already there. Thought this was fair. However, we were then told that two big takeaway orders had come in and food might be a bit later. I was a bit put out by this as I had pre-booked the table. Fitter to this, they sat us on a table very near the door and there was a lot of coming and going through that door which allowed the cold weather in. I did move position on the table but it was still draughty and there was nowhere else to move to. Food eventually came about 50 mins later. The food was lovely - no complaints there! Just felt it was a shame that there was so much focus on the take aways when people had booked into the restaurant. I heard other people complain about the waiting time for food too.

We have visited Foundry 34 many times and they never fail to please. Service was friendly, polite and prompt. Food was excellent, my wife had Fish and Chips and I hade the pasta special, linguine in a creamy tomato and chorizo sauce topped with king prawns 🍤 both of our meals were beautiful. We will be back soon.

We were on holiday staying in Penrith town and had booked Four and Twenty restaurant. After being cancelled late in the day at Four and Twenty in Penrith, we met our friend here and boy are we glad we did! Friendly efficient service and great food. So some good did come out of the disappointment of the other restaurant cancelling! Will definitely go next time we're in Penrith.

We went for a birthday dinner with a larger group of friends. It was all flawless and easy to communicate with the venue. Food was all served hot, exactly as ordered and great quality. Staff were very lovely and helpful. Will definitely be back

Came across Foundry 34 on our last night in the Lakes. Having spent the day walking we wanted some proper food and we weren't disappointed! Both the main meal and dessert were spot on and the service was excellent.

We enjoyed our meal although a bit unprofessional . Food was nicely cooked the tables could of done with a better wipe as still had marks from previous diners

A fabulous meal with excellent food wich is great value for money in a pleasant atmosphere and with excellent attentive staff. We would Highly recommend. Also have live music which we didn't stay for but is a nice option for a night out.

Great find on our first night in Penrith. Gluten free options are specified in the menu. My husband loved his gluten free fish & chips as well as brownies with ice cream.

Passing on way home and dropped in and glad we did. Great restaurant with an amazing chef and the food was well presented and tasted with lots of flavours. The staff was very professional and spot on in attracting your eye to the specials that we had with dessert. I highly recommend a visit and will definitely try to get back some time. Thanks for great meal.

I come here often usually for lunch or the live music nights . Last night we celebrated a 18th birthday. Food was beautiful. Staff are really lovely always smiling and friendly

We went to see Paul Day sing and for some food . Everything was great the food the staff the atmosphere . Top marks and I will Definitely be back xx

Very nice evening meal, followed by superb entertainment by Paul Day, never stopped from when he came on at 9 til after 11. Superb entertainment had the place bouncing.

We wrnt on a Sunday evening, only guests! Not clear how to get into the resting, we went to tbe back and through hotel rooms. Staff service good. Roast dinner large portion, could have being a bit hotter.Disappointed with Yorkshire pudding was a bit dry, nice portion of beef. Nice cocktail !

Great place, lovely and clean and friendly staff, food is excellent! The breakfast is massive and will certainly set you up for the day! Comfy bed, decent shower and in a great location in the town! I everything is just a short walk away so yeah! Great spot

Excellent warming place Food was excellent Waitress did exceptionally well was friendly and efficient Comfortable furniture Clean

Lovely food atmosphere great staff and a wonderful overall experience will definitely go again menu was great and a good choice too

A lovely lazy lunch was thoroughly enjoyed and our waitress couldn’t have been more pleasant or accommodating will definitely go again.

Great food, accommodation and service.I live in the south of the country but anytime me and my colleague do work in the north we stay and eat here.

Always a good place for great food, drinks and great live music. The staff is extremely nice, attentive and friendly. Thank you

Excellent lunch , pleased to have found this family run restaurant. All the food looked to be home made, tasty and of good quality. I only had two small plates, (pictured) larger portions were available . recommended.

Fantastic Sunday lunch. Great value for money. Roast beef and Yorkshire pudding a variety of vegetables (Not a pea or carrots in sight). Staff very obliging and polite. One tip if booking ask for table away from front door blast of cold air each time...

We all really enjoyed the food. The chicken tikka hanging kebab was 👌🏻👌🏻 the sticky toffee pudding was 😋 highly recommend

Wow what can I say Sunday lunch beef roast was excellent tasty perfect presentation and just excellent. Even extra gravy supplied. Puddings also excellent service was excellent too definitely recommend.

Good service, good value. We had steak & a burger. I’d have preferred to pay more for a fillet steak but it wasn’t available.

We stayed at the Foundry for one night on our way South. The sharing plates were absolutely delicious and our breakfast also fabulous. The staff were also very helpful and friendly despite them winding down ready for a week's closure

Lovely and cosy with a friendly atmosphere. The staff were lovely and helpful. The food was great and reasonably priced. The bottle of wine we had also wasn’t badly priced. Would go again

We came for our works Christmas Lunch. 8 people, pre ordered and everything was perfect. Delicious food, lovely staff and good ambience. Many thanks

Roast beef and Turkey were excellent, so much veg, large Yorkshires. I liked the jug of gravy so you can add as much as you want. Staff very friendly and helpful.

Great atmosphere, friendly people and the food was amazing the chef knows what they are doing! The portions are quite big so don’t overestimate your hunger.

Really good place for high end but very well priced food. The bar area was on the smaller size but glad we booked a table! The food was amazing! The pasta special which as beef ragusa and garlic bread was fantastic and so delicious. My...

Interesting menu, good food, friendly service. We had booked to eat before the Winter Droving - just as well, as other diners had to be turned away.

Had pre-booked as the Penrith Winter Droving festival was on and the town was packed. Our party of 5 arrived a bit early but the staff accommodated us anyway. Food was great and plentiful, staff were excellent. Reasonable pricing and great atmosphere, would definitely recommend.

Very friendly atmosphere & a few games to keep the kids entertained. Excellent food with a fab service. Whenever we are in Penrith this is our 1st choice. Live entertainment on at the end of our meal which was good upbeat music, well done.

2nd time we have visited Foundry, great food, friendly and helpful staff, great service. Took advantage of the cocktail deal too!

This is always a favorite of ours to eat when in Penrith. We were again not let down, the friendliness and the quality of the food. It is visible to book, as it is a popular place. When we arrived we were greeted with a...

Lovely place to meet friends. We received a warm welcome from the staff. Good selection of food choices. Our meals and drinks were served very quickly and every thing was hot and tasty. Staff were very friendly and attentive.

Flat Iron Steak with Peppercorn Sauce and 'Northern Fries'. Packed with Flavour. Excellent value well worth a visit. Also stayed the night with a great breakfast which kept me going all day.

Table for four was booked on line no problem at all. Arrived on the night and couldn’t fault it. Service was great all staff wearing masks, polite and friendly. Food was gorgeous well presented and just the right amount. Two starters ,four mains, four coffees and martini cocktails . Worth every penny. Will certainly go again and recommend it.Thanks for a very enjoyable night.

We visited between Christmas and New Year. The food, atmosphere and services were all excellent. We had a selection of starters and mains, followed by a Desertini which was an excellent spin on Espresso Martini’s with a shot of baileys and a brownie….excellent!

There was 6 of us, and we enjoyed every minute, food , drink , customer service was brilliant, staff where on point every step of the way , Would definitely recommend to others, and we will definitely be going back ,Thanks again to all for making it a fab experience.

The food was excellent, ambience was light and fun, service prompt and attentive. I had fried breaded haloumi followed by sea bass. Both beautifully presented and delicious. (Only constructive comment I can make is that the haloumi portion didn’t need to be so big). My friend had a steak which he said was cooked as requested and very good.

The food was exceptional and the service was terrific. It was a great way to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. I can’t recommend this place more highly!

Friendly and efficient staff, great food and great service. Very welcoming on arrival and attentive to our needs. The surf and turf was delicious as was my sister’s fish and chips. Thank you!

We were celebrating my wife's retirement and wanted to support a local business rather than a chain restaurant. We were made to feel very welcome from the start by the staff. Service was excellent and very polite. After ordering food we didn't have to wait long before our starters arrived, once finished we had a shirt wait for our main course which was just right. All our food was excellent and the service was top drawer. Definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Greeted straight away . Beautiful faultless meal . Food presented nicely too . Great portion size . Plenty of choice on the menu . All of us left very full and know we will be returning .

Staff were so helpful and the food was amazing. Cooked my steak just how I wanted. Both starters and main were lovely

The restaurant was excellent - a good vegetarian meal! The room was clean and well furnished, albeit a bit small. Lots of hot water. Fantastic stay The only problem is finding the place if you don’t know Penrith

We booked 4 rooms for our family that had come up from Yorkshire for the annual winter Droving festival.All rooms where clean and ok size we had the family room as we have 2 small children. The family room is room 10 right next to the upstairs restaurant and at the top of the stairs from the bar and downstairs restaurant. So can get a little noisy. Also there is a fault with the TV that it won't turn on but if you unplug it and plug it back in it will work. We had a big double bed and there r 2 bunk beds for the kids witch mine loved and fought over the top bunk. It's not the best for elderly or people with poor mobility as there is no lift and a lot of stairs. To get to the other rooms. My only criticism and concern is that my partner has CELIAC AND STATED THIS ON BOOKING ARRIVAL AND THE MORNING OF BREAKFAST. When I asked what was gluten free I was told everything I said the blackpudding and hashbrowns wont be unless it's stated on the ingredients. The girl just looked at me I said please can you go ask your chef. She came back and said we think everything is. I said that's not good enough it needs to be or I'll be taking him to hospital later. We waited ages for a full English and when it arrived it was different to wat the rest of the family had so I think they whent out to buy it all. The standards for food allergies needs a massive improvement as not one thing is listed as GF it's good you have a vegetarian section but what about the people with serious intolerance that just can't have normal food through no fault of there own. So if you have them I'd say please ring a head to make them aware.

The pictures online don't add up to the actual quality of food served. The atmosphere was nice and was about the only thing going for this place. Would recommend avoiding the prawn starter unless you enjoy eating rubber and having your veg coated with salt.The Sunday roast dinner was unusually paired with mix match veg which in turn was contradictory to a "traditional Sunday roast". The burger was nice although the bacon wasn't far off from still walking. Didn't even stick around long enough to try out desert.Probably won't return but hey, give it a go, everyone's tastes are different

We were a group of 8 from Centre Parcs. We all had a lovely meal from a varied menu. The staff were friendly and helpful, the food was first class and the price was reasonable. We all enjoyed our meal so much we booked for another night whilst we were there. We would all recommend going there.

I was catching up with friends. The menu had lots of variety and loved the small dish options. The food was delicious and tasty. I will definitely be returning.
