General Wolf in Eden

Lovely, friendly atmosphere and well looked after by our host Matthew. We’ll definitely be returning to this pub unfortunately can’t say the same for the goat down the road, whom discriminated against our hidden disabilities and refused service. This placed welcomed us without judgment and serves great wine and good music. Would recommend!

¡Consiguió una lasaña, y no parecía tener pasta! ! Era carne picada con tanto queso que no era comestible. ¡El compañero consiguió baguette de pollo y el pan estaba duro! ! Nos quejamos y mi comida fue cambiada. Salchicha Cumberland esto fue agradable. Como gesto de buena voluntad, nos dieron 2 budines y nos devolvieron el dinero por 1 comida. . Pero los brownies de chocolate que obtuvimos 1 fue cocinar y el otro! Bueno, creo que se olvidaron de cocinarlo! Era una mezcla de chocolate líquida cubierta de crema pastelera. . Horrible. El personal del bar estamos muy bien. No puedo culparlos.

Bonito pub agradable. Intenté un almuerzo de domingo pero lamentablemente no es bueno. . . el puré de papa sabía a puré de paquete, las chirivías eran como papilla no asada, la carne de res en rodajas era dura. Volvería a tomar bebidas pero no la comida.

El General Wolf es un pub limpio y muy elegante con una decoración moderna. Con un servicio amable y un ambiente agradable, este es claramente un pub local favorito. No comimos aquí, pero no pude evitar notar que un tío en el bar disfrutaba de una hamburguesa. Se veía excelente. Disfrutamos nuestra visita aquí y este es sin duda un pub que volveríamos a usar.

We ate here at lunchtime as a family of 5, 2 adults and 3 children. We only had to pay for one of the children’s meals as you get one free with each paying adult. It was nice to see proper homemade meals as an option on the children’s menu as appose to the typical frozen chicken nuggets and fish fingers. I had the lasagne which was delicious, it was homemade and with chips, salad and garlic bread all for less than £10. My partner had the gammon steak which was equally as nice. The children enjoyed the same homemade lasagne and lovely freshly battered fish and chips. The portion sizes are generous making it good value for money. 5 lovely meals for less than £30.

Visited as a family with our dog, who was made very welcome. Excellent choice of food and brilliant value for money. Lady behind the bar was so helpful. Would definitely return!

Surprised actually when visited how big it is inside. Couple of benches for people to sit outside when it's not raining. Seems to have a good drink and good selection but I only called in for a pint

Firstly, its amazing, I cannot praise this pub or its staff highly enough. We had been doing the round of charity shops in Penrith and wandered down Little Dockray St. There were two or three cafes and restaurants in the street but what attracted us to this one was that they clearly advertised vegan and veggie available on the door. The pub is completely different on the inside to the outside. clean clear lines, modern furniture yet rustic materials in abundance as well. I ordered a fish selection light meal for one and trish ordered the veggie light meal selection for one. The guy at the bar took our order and we only waited around 8 - 10 minutes for two of the most amazing plates of food a pub has produced for us. On my plate was fish strips, fried prawns, prawn marie rose, salad, real proper chunky chips and a half baguette to boot. On Trish's plate was deep fried battered mushrooms, cheese sticks in batter and all sorts of other veggie stuff and chunky chips. This is the first time ever that I have not been able to finish a pub meal because of the quantity. Both plates were stacked, with wonderful fresh food that was delicous. Topped of with a cup of tea and a pink lemonade the whole lat came to £17.25 well worth it, I would have been happy to have paid £20.00 for the food we received. The two members of staff were great, attentive but not overbearing and the whole experience 1st class. If i lived in Penrith, this would definetely be my local pub. Give it a go its well worth it and we will be back for more next month!!

We went with friends for lunch and really enjoyed the friendly service and huge portions. Really recommended the veggie and fish platters.

I visited this Thwaites establishment on a Thursday evening and there were only 2 people in the pub. I didn't eat so can't comment on the food. The service and drinks wer e ok but its not a place I would rush back to.

Called in here on a Saturday early evening for tea,was really good and plenty on your plate ,staff are very pleasant to help.we will return .thanks .

On the outside it looked like a traditional friendly pub. On the inside it was full of youngsters who were not asked for ID and a couple of old “chaps” . The barman looked 14 - and I’m not surprised a couple of customers walked out before being served. Won’t be back.

We had a family meal at 5.30 this evening. If you want good flavour, no fat, melting roast beef, nicely cooked veg, lashings of gravy or gammon, egg and pinapple, proper homemade chips, or sizzling vegetarian sweet chilli platter this is the place in Penrith for you. AND for every adult meal a child eats FREE! We cannot recommended the General Wolfe enough, long may this last. Thank you Chef and staff, we will be back.

We visited 24th December 2018 for our family Christmas meal out, we are a party of 4 adults we had a starter the Wolfe combo is highly recommended and the mains were also delicious excellent value for money and big portions we were that full we couldn't finish our mains would definitely recommend a visit

However it no longer is have not eaten here but menu looks good. Bar staff are attentive wide choice of drinks And the pub is clean,

Good menu, lots of choice, great portions,well worth a visit if you are in Penrith, food looked good and tasted great

A dog friendly pub but looked too new for me. I like character in a pub and thought the beer was ace..the bar wasn't.

New beers very good selection. New menu very diverse. Also sky sports. Back bar with pool table. Darts board nice warm atmosphere.

Read the reviews and have it a try today.

A Breezy lunch time walk in Penrith with Hubby and Dogs. Dockray Hall was packed so walked on further and came across this pub on a side road. Dog friendly and hungry tummies so decided to try. Friendly welcoming staff. With full menu on offer and Two choices of Roast Pork and Beef selections were made. Roast beef and Fish medley for one. A short wait - wasn't busy- during which the table was set and cleaned and the dogs brought a bowl of water and the food arrived. Roast beef thickly sliced tender and delicious and the trimmings very tasty with a home made Yorkshire Pudding. The fish medley very generous with Scampi, King Prawns, Huge Battered Goujons and Prawns in a Marie Rose Sauce Chips Lemon Wedge Coleslaw and a half crusty baguette! Delicious and excellent value lunch. Would definitely visit again. An unexpected Gem!

good choice good prices and service happy staff warm friendly atmosphere nice steak cooked exactly right

I have been twice here when passing through Penrith and the second I came back purposefully as the food was so good. Now on first impression walking in it has been very quiet and a bit unwelcoming with a slight 80s vibe the restaurant part. The dining room is actually quite off putting with its outdated décor and slate table mats stuck to the tables ( we won't mention how hard it is for those of you who like things in straight lines....) But stick with it (n the table mats did) Its a basic pub grub menu with all the favourites and we ordered a range of dishes from burgers, lasagne, fish and chips and scampi. On both trips here it has been outstanding. The lasagne is to die for as are the chips. The portion sizes will leave you rolling down the street afterwards. I am just disappointed on the general lack of atmosphere and welcome as it really brings it down. I do hope we just visited on 2 quiet afternoons. We will be back for food again though :)

Great Sunday lunch, filled a hole in my stomach , food was very tastey just like the chef. I will be back!!!!

Had lunch here a couple of times now. Really good food, we had bacon and brie baguettes. Yummy safe are friendly and welcoming. Would defiantly pop in again

We were there on a Sunday night

Goes back a long way from the streetfront. Dining room, tv room, games room and a comfortable bar at the front. Popular with locals.

We had a great meal here. I had home made steak and ale pie, my wife had the chicken sizzler, both very good.

Visited for a quick glass of wine before heading off for a meal. Great wine at a great price. Pub was clean and tidy and staff very friendly

Nice surprise, on walking in a welcoming traditional pub but large well lit modern dining area in back. Beer was in a1 condition . Food arrived in good time and as well as tasting good was presented very nicely. Mainly traditional food but for example curry was on specials . Portions good size and prices reasonable .

It was a Wednesday at 3pm but it was empty and cold. Decent beer but cooold and soulless. We didn’t eat so maybe not and accurate reflection. But it warmer outside.

Found this when for looking evening meal. Good range of beers and food was great. We used it twice in our 5 day stay and would have used it again but it was closed because of bad weather.

Nipped in for a tea-time meal whilst waiting for the 'Rickshaw Challenge' to arrive in Penrith. What a delight! Very friendly welcome, good menu choice and great meal. Bar staff looked after us without being overly fussy. A star feature of the pub was a Juke Box, many years since I had the pleasure to use one, instead of the usual banal musak, I could enjoy a great meal and listen to my choice, Tom Petty, Clapton and Floyd, well done!

We decided to lunch here as it was a dog friendly pub. The pub didn't seem to be particularly busy and we quickly found a seat, there were eight of us (and 2 dogs) so we found a nice spot in the corner. Bar staff were very helpful and took our order quickly. The food itself took about 3/4 hour, but when it came it was very nice indeed. It seemed home cooked, was very tasty and we could not fault it whatsoever...

Good pub food menu but pub food for now not 20 Years ago. Bar has a couple of zones you can sit in as is your want. Trio of sausage very nice and kids enjoyed attacking the wolf combo. Gut on the bar made us feel welcome and made sure we were happy. Would come again next time in Penrith.

Couldn't have felt more welcome!! Especially when working away from home. Just what I needed after a day in the rain. Thanks to the team and friendly locals.

This local pub is a friendly place and the food menu is good along with the chef's specialties Food was nicely cooked and tasted lovely.

Came in for lunch with my friend. Bar man welcoming and friendly. Ordered our food which came quickly. The chips were perfect! Great service and great food. Decent price too. I Will be back again.

Dropped by mid afternoon to see what it was like and the Ales on offer which were all priced at a bargain £2.50. Just missed out on the Windermere IPA (Tirril from Appleby) so had the Red Barn and Theakstons. Whilst drinking, food being served looked good and as the friendly young barman said he’d try and get another beer on later in the day, decided we’d return in the evening.

Called in for lunch as it was dog friendly had steak baguette chips and coleslaw it was delicious steak was tender and tasty service was quick and barman was very pleasant would nor hesitate to eat there again if in area

Went midweek about 6.30pm. Pub quiet, dining room out of the way off bar which suited us with 5 under 18's. £63 for 7 meals including 2 childrens meals. Drinks cheap as £10.00 for 7 of us but only 1 pint, rest soft. Bar man very helpful. Good choice on menu and food hot. We only had one course. Would go again.

Comimos aquí durante una parada en Penrith y nos la única mesa en la que fue una pena porque es un buen lugar.

Staff behind bar very welcoming and helpful , meals very nice and well presented. On a visit to the area just passing and called in for late lunch.

Had vegetarian and fish platters. Really nice food, large portions, value for money. Atmosphere a little sterile but a nice place and would recommend

I had a £4.95 pub lunch here.Got to say fantastic value for money.Beef roasties Yorkshire and three veg.Very pleasant pub and good staff.Highly recommended.

been a number of times food alway good, my partner vegatrian and there alway a few options for her, staff polite helpful

Have eaten here a few times in the last couple of months and always found the food to be great. Both had the baguette & chips this time and couldn't fault it. Staff are friendly & service is fast. Great value for money for a nice lunch out. Will definitely be visiting when the new menu is launched.

We visited this pub earlier after seeing the great reviews. The service was friendly, prompt and professional and the food was fantastic, very tasty and generous portions. We would definitely recommend this pub.

Visited for lunch with my daughter. Very friendly welcome and good atmosphere. Wide menu, plenty of veggie choices. Had the lamb Henry and vegetable sizzler. Both very tasty and obviously fresh ingredients. Would visit again and highly recommended.

Visited for a drink with other half. The pub looks as though it has recently been refurbished. The decor is modern and clean. Staff friendly. Drinks reasonably priced. Would certainly visit again.

We had food here on three occasions during our weeks visit to The Lakes. The service was great, food was also very good and even when we asked for our sandwiches to be changed to toasties which were not on the menu, that was no problem. Us visiting on three separate times should be recommendation enough. You won't be disappointed.

Looked at a few pubs before choosing this one. Menu is changing so not everything was available- but what we had was superb.Freshly cooked and well presented with attentive staff. Food was excellent and very tasty and we had four different meals all superb.Would definitely return and would recommend.

Went on for a quiet lunch. Was very surprised with how good it was. Large portions for a very good price. Quality was also good and was spoilt for choice on the menu. Staff were very nice and friendly. We had a great experience and would recommend for some good grub.

Came for their well known 'Christmas Baguette' and was very surprised by the size of the portion for only £6. The taste wasn't compromised despite the low price and the staff were attentive and very friendly. Definitely come again.

I went here for lunch and it was quite busy because there was a large party in. When we ordered food the man behind the bag warned us that there would be a wait because of this, but it only ended up taking about 20 minutes which was less than we expected. When the food came it was good and the portions were large, the only downside was that the pie I ordered wasn't very warm but the gravy that came with it was hot so this wasn't much of an issue

Whilst walking through Penrith looked at menu then TripAdvisor and decided to give it a go. Wasn't disappointed. Large portions. Good prices. Tasty hot food. Staff friendly and polite. Clean restaurant as were the loos on my visit! Decided to try a dessert too! Wow. Chocolate cake was to die for. Will definitely come again when next up this neck of the woods.

Terrible choice of drinks, bored staff and bland decor. More akin to a student dive than a traditional pub.

We called in here on a visit to Penrith. Judging by other reviews the pub has recently been renovated inside. It is very clean and modern but retains some character. We ate at the end of the bar area on a raised area under a sky-light. We ordered their homemade burger and a dish called 'Sizzling Chicken'. The chicken came out on a hot plate, sizzling so much that it sent the fire alarm off (but the staff did warn us of this!). Both meals were tasty with the chicken a particular favourite. Friendly staff with a good selection of drinks at fair prices. Thoroughly recommended.

I had dinner here with the family. My husband and son both had the prawn cocktail as a starter but to be honest they both said that it was more like a main course. They then had The Chicken Sizzler....wow....what can I say, it looked delicious and it was. I had chicken and chips but the portions were too much for me. My son's partner had the Chicken Kiev. It was over-cooked and she couldn't actually get her knife to go through it. She did say to the waiter that her chicken was very hard and he came back with an offer of a free dessert which she accepted. I would still highly recommend this restaurant as the portions and pricing are very good. It seemed a very popular eating place as there were quite a few groups in.

Called in on off chance. Table available. Nice bar. Lovely decorated restaurant area. Wide choice of drinks. Super food menu. Food was simple but delicious. Beautifully presented. My 13 year old had Chicken Kiev which she said was gorgeous. Very reasonably priced. I would return if in the area.

Good service and excellent food, well presented and plenty of it, whole family really happy! Would highly recommend the place.. We will be going back, compliments to the chef

The Wolfe has a new master holding the lead to positive effect. The decor is so what clinical but clean and modern. The food is varied and excellent value for money as are the drinks. Real ales and wine served in lovely glasses by welcoming staff. A howling success in the making and well worth a visit

We went here for a family meal not long after it had changed ownership, it's a lovely pub with good food, fairly large portions, friendly and welcoming it's not that bad on the value for money front either. Staff are friendly and helpful so it's a good all rounder, a very nice local pu

We popped in here for a spot of lunch while wandering around Penrith. Very friendly barman. Good quality fresh food and there was plenty of it for a very reasonable price. Definitely worth a visit.

We visited here on a few occasions whilst staying in Penrith. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Lovely fresh food is served here and there is plenty of choice. It also has seats to sit outside (if the weather is nice).

Called in here on the way back from Blackpool. Found it extremely clean and inviting. Lovely hosts and great food. Deffo going back for more. Would highly recommend

We have previously eaten here on several occasions as its a dog friendly pub, in the centre of town and the service, food and atmosphere have always been great.Visited last week with my husband and parents to find the General Wolf has recently had a make over.... very modern and minimal approach... in my opinion bordering on clinical.. cool greys and creams.Ordered lasagne and scampi, food was served quickly and was red hot, presented well however the garlic bread was hard and the lasagne could of done with more flavouring.Not sure if they have a new chef or new recipe but it was defiantly lacking in the flavour department.Service good, presentation good, friendly pub would recommend.

Sunday night is quiet time to eat out. The pub was very quiet but we settled in to menus and drink (local beers). We chose from the menu. The food arrived promptly I had the steak and ale pie. Iht was not as I expected not whole pie complete with puff pastry. This was rather soggy, but the meat was good and vegetables were good. Similarly the stew wth dumplings (1) and it was short potato. Over all disappointment, , it clear the management had spent care on the decor, very fresh tastefully done. However it has scope for improvement. I think it is worth try if you are in the area.

The General Wolf is very bright and looks to have been recently redecorated. We only dropped in for a drink , I enjoyed some Theakstons , but there is lots to chose from.Service was fine , there was a mixed age range of customers plus a couple of dogs. There are many pubs to visit in Penrith , this one is worth a look.

Meals were plentiful but were either bland or undercooked. We may have picked a night when the regular chef was off duty?

Been twice now for Sunday lunch. It has to be one of the better establishments in Penrith. Good food. Great staff. The decor is a bit iffy though. Not my cup of tea. But eating wise excellent

Had a nice lunch here on way home from visit to lakes, couldn't understand why it was so quiet as it was clean and nicely decorated and food and service were top notch.

Had lunch here today. It was totes amazeballs. I had the smothered chicken with pepper sauce. It came with a mountain of chips and nice salad.

Really really nice staff with Tirril beer on tap at a really good price. The food was good and not too expensive for what we got

The Wolfe is looking very fresh and clean, staff were friendly and helpful we had Sunday lunch which was plentiful and good but no better than that.

Comfortable and friendly with dogs welcome. Food was decent and all served pretty quickly. Lacking atmosphere of an old pub.

Called in for lunch, wife had the feathered steak and I had the fish and chips.Nicely redecorated, clean and brigh, a bit stark and minimalistic , with TVs at both ends of room.Food came and the portions were large, and well cooked on nice hot plates. Veg cooked (spot on) aldente.So pleased we didn't have the soup, or we'ed never managed all our main meals. Would return, but would like more traditional choice of soup, chile and parsnip not for me.You won't leave disappointed or hungry.

We had a very good lunch in the General Wolf in Penrith.There dont seem many places where you can take in dogs but this was one. I had a chilli chicken sizzler and my huband had a wolf mega burger, both were excellent on taste and size. we would both recommend a visit.

Had a lovely carvery Sunday lunch hot and great choice of three meats and well cooked vegetables. The only problem was the uncontrolled antisocial behaviour of children nearby, the foul mouths of their parents and a nearby table who were foul mouthed too.The floor and table were sticky and could have done with a deep clean. Not a place that we will return to which is a shame because the beer was fine, the staff pleasant and helpful and the food excellent.

Great food with good selection of beers and drinks. Spacious and friendly. Outside area in front in pedestrian area. Good for exploring Penrith and shopping. Park in Morrisons and walk down

This is a clean, traditional bar and was quiet when we called early Friday evening. However the locals and bar staff were friendly and warm and chatted with us. A nice little pub.

Called in at midday midweek for lunch. An empty pub with flashing gaming machines and a silent tv for distraction combined with a strong disinfectant smell wasn't a great start .However, there was a friendly welcome from the barmaid and the bar and tables were immaculate. I settled down with a fine pint of beer and read the menu.The chosen steak pie with chips and peas was delivered promptly and were excellent and obviously home made.I think this is probably a lively town centre pub on weekends and evenings but is none the worse for that on a lunchtime.Dogs are made welcome with the offer of a water bowl.

Quick lunch break meeting my hubbie. Excellent real ale pint and lovely Sauvignon blanc at very good price point. I chose to have sandwich which was fresh, well presented and tasted lovely. The manageress was warm friendly and genuine .

it is a friendly pub as well as great food. the service is good and the waiting time for food was not long, even at a busy period. Impressed and will be returning.

Second visit to the General Wolf.Very hospitable pub with good menu and helpful staff. Real beer is kept well.Excellent location to drop in when in Penrith centre. Pub is in semi pedestrian area so parking is in municipal car parks or on nearby streets.Nice outside seating area at front of pub.Well worth a visit.

We were looking for a place for a reasonably priced lunch and I do not think we could've found a better establishment. Excellent prices, great portions and a varied menu - also plenty of choice for vegetarians. Yes the toilets could do with a revamp but I am basing my evaluation purely on the food we went in for. Thank you for the friendly welcome too. Mr Burton, LONDON

Called in while in Penrith for lunch. having read previous reviews did not know what to expect. service was good our meals came quickly and were as expected. We could not fault the food at lunchtime. décor and furniture more suited for a young persons venue. Bad points no hand dryers or paper towels in toilets, and the ladies had an unpleasant aroma.

Visited here at the weekend, will not be back. Not only was the place disgusting and unclean, but they were unpleasant with our children. When we enquired about food, despite it being 12 o'clock as advertised and two others sitting eating, we were told that they hadn't cooked anything yet and it would be over half an hour before they even set foot in the kitchen to begin cooking. Actually, very pleased that we didn't bother to wait.

Called in on a Sunday for a drink and meal and was very disappointed, it was virtually empty which should have indicated it's not a popular place in Penrith to frequent. The meal was poor the chips half cooked,.a burger you could have soled your shoe with, and no salad available. To cap the afternoon delight in walked a crowd of about six people who insisted on being loud and using building site language in the company of their women friends. We left as soon as we could and vowed never to return to this establishment this is certainly a place to miss on your visit to Penrith. I would suggest the management clean up their act before its too late.

it was good nice beers but there are often yobs or football hooligans but that is the king of place that it is so if you like football go there.

Visited the General Wolfe today, had both their regular menu AND the carvery on! We went for the carvery in the end, and oh boy, were we glad we did! Hands down best carvery we've ever had. Only £6.95 and you got so much! Great value for money. Will definitely be going back.

One toilet so full of loo roll that it couldn't be flushed (this was mid day not evening I might add). One toilet so full of something quite literally indescribable that had obviously not been cleaned for days. Other toilet clean but complete absence of loo roll and door stuck so had to chisel foot under door to get out. Seats in the bar covered in stains - could be urine, could be alcohol - but the owners obviously dont care what we think it is. Carpet by toilets ruckled up - major trip hazard and looks like toilets have flooded into the bar

There was 11 of us eating (3 kids, which eat free with a paying adult meal) steak and ale pie was delicious, Cumberland sausage came with sweet potatoe chips was good - gravy abit thick, surf and turf had a decent piece of steak, sizzling sweet chicken was tasty - just let down by the processed chicken instead of breast!I would eat there again and def go for the steak and ale pie

Little bit hungry so decided to have a pub lunch. Chose The General Wolf in Little Dockray PenrithAs the price of the food didn't seem to bad. Service was ok the girl who took our order could of smiled a little bit more. My wife went for the Chicken burger with chunky Chip. I plummeted for the Beef Burger with bacon in it. From order to when the food was put on the table was about 15mins. My Wife found her Chunky chips warm not hot like they should of been.My Burger had a burn taste to it. I removed the bun which the burger came in and found it was cremated as black as the night...
