It’s Food and Fast, what more else do you need, I don’t know why others have been writing bad reviews on here slating the staff but the staff have always been friendly to me as a regular, you can tell the ones who expect Ritz level of service aren’t from Cumbria that’s for sure 😂

Terrible experience. Coffee as thin and tasteless as bottled water. Cold fries served with no seasoning. Side salad consisting of salad leaves and one slice of tomato😅. Staff that doesnt seem to realize they are there to provide service to customers. An utter waste of money eating here…

Penrith Macdonalds is the worst and slowest I've ever come across. They get your order WRONG EVERY time. The two female so called managers are a waste of time. Doing no work while the shop is rammed and and the drive through a heaving. Laughing and joking and talking really loud. If I had of had my phone I would have taken a video! One was called Veronica did not get the other ones name. Not helping the other colleagues. People coming in to say they had been waiting ages in the car park, others saying they had put the wrong sauce on their customised burger. It's a real embarrassment. Nobody apologising g about the wrong food given out! Sort yourselves out! Get a proper manager who wants to work and knows what they are doing!

One word - awful !! 60 minutes from into the drive thru to eating food - no milkshakes - no straw - no napkins - cheese on fillet of fish - no cheese requested - soggy cold fries - funny tasting chicken - parked in grill waiting area for 15 mins - emailed customer service - no reply - whole experience- appalling !!

This is the worst McDonald’s I have ever visited, the service is dreadfully slow and the staff give the impression that they don’t have a clue what they’re doing. Plenty of customers were getting agitated due to the awful service, avoid using if possible.

Absolutely dreadful! Went in at 7:30am for three takeaway breakfasts for family before catching 8am train. Only just made it! 25 mins for three sausage and egg McMuffin meals is not acceptable . Rubbish opening hours as well. Avoid if you don’t have a spare 30 mins to wait.

Bloody ridiculous closing time changed to 8pm when a week ago it was 11pm. Just in time for the summer holidays, When people will go via motorways BEFORE and AFTER 8am and 8pm. Workington McDonald’s is 24 hours and also so much faster WHEN people have trains to catch. so don’t see why this one is so awful. Honestly ridiculous but yet many staff are still in there at 9pm but seemed to be doing nothing apart from … Staff who were in tonight 17/06/23 around 20:40 pm be embarrassed laughing and pointing for no apparent reason.

I live near this McDonald's and this happens everytime I go there the customer service is disgusting and I waited 20 mins for a frappe and a cappuccino.. also 3 people who ordered after me with meals got their frappe. Same happened when my boyfriend came to get food a few weeks ago. All the staff standing around looking gormless. I travel around the country alot so use Mcdonald regular even if its for a coffee. If you want a burger go else where the staff here are a liability and the food is stone cold and looks like a catapult put it together not a human.

genuine discrimination called this evening to order a late night meal as very busy with lambing and feeding same, my partner stood with cash at the till in before ten pm,total confusion people getting wrong orders number sixty-one called out no-one came at all for that order, a lad came back in with twenty chicken nuggets which were not his total confusion,four staff stood around looking gormless, fifteen minutes my partner stood at the till nobody asked for the order, i came in to see what's taking so long door locked this was about one minute past ten another young couple came in after me and ordered on the card machines one lady employee said we have finished ordering at ten ,i said we were in before ten and have been stood waiting, the manager tom came and said we stopped ordering at ten i said we were in before and we have been ignored with our order he just refused and never even said sorry, at this time there were four more people waiting for their orders plus this couple who had ordered online after me. no manners whatsoever and if you haven't a card forget it,Avoid this McDonalds at all costs!!! go round the corner to Morrisons resturant absolutely proper customer service, don't even bother to complain at McDonalds online they only accept a complaint at separate restaurant's online ,you can shove Penrith McDonalds where the sun doesn't shine!!!¬

Terribly slow service Waiting 25 mins for two meals with only one other car in front at the drive through which waited just as long, hardly a customer inside either. About 5 members of staff stood around doing nothing but chatting and laughing. Very poor and next to no customer service from front of house staff. Food came out bearly warm and missing dips. Very disappointing. Will not be back in a rush.

Friends and I have been kicked out 3 times in two days for 1 incident that was accidental where my friend fell over onto someone’s table. Before this happened we had all bought food and finished and were sat talking. Manager came and said we needed to get something each or we couldn’t sit there. My friend then fell and we all got kicked out. Came later without that friend and got kicked out again. Then came again this morning and whilst waiting for my food the same manager came across and made a sarcastic comment about us “surprised your buying food today”. I then asked the other manager for his name and refused to give me it after the one who incited the incident shouted at me and a friend.

Me and my friend took a visit to McDonald’s after finishing school early on 20th December. We were soon asked to leave after someone not associated with us fell over near us. We tried to bargain with the manager saying that we would like to finish our food considering we were trying to eat. The manager was obnoxious and refused to let us stay. We picked up our food, mid-meal, and left. Later that day at 4pm we returned without the person who was “causing a scene”, we bought a drink and sat inside, where it was warm. The manager then came over again and asked us to leave. We were paying customers who had bought a drink so that we could sit in the warm building. Again, we left. We returned the next day for lunch, and the manager gave us a sarcastic comment, saying “you want be making a mess again today will you?”. This was clearly an attempt to instigate an argument. My friend took umbrage at this and decided to ask a colleague for his name so that we could make a complaint, as he wasn’t wearing a name badge. The person we asked refused to give out a name without a reason. This ruined the experience of being here for the past two days and I wasn’t happy about this. However I would like to mention that Reuben made our day and he is the most polite, outgoing and enthusiastic member of the team. He is the only reason that we have decided to give more than one star.

Called in at McDonald’s penrith drive through and oh dear not one staff member we served with had a smile or even looked happy or passed the time of day, from paying to collection of food!The person which handed out food over was a manager and even he was very none expressionless, with no smile or anything.They still could be courteous and try to look interested and not just hold the bag of food out and say nothing. Have to say they all could take a lesson in customer service from Ruben( think that’s his name)!!As he his a massive character and brings the McDonald’s experience something to talk about.I personally don’t have anything, it’s for the kids.

Posiblemente el peor McDonalds en Gran Bretaña. La comida está fría antes de servirla, el personal solo está interesado en cotillear entre ellos mismos, nunca en las mesas limpias y la unidad de disco se niega a estacionar ningún automóvil, ya que eso requeriría que caminen a algún lado. Pero nada de esto importa, ya que su pedido será incorrecto la 1ª calle y la 2ª vez que se lo entregan. Quejarse bajo su propio riesgo, ya que la mayoría del personal es grosero y no le importa, morirá de vejez antes de que intenten solucionar su problema. El personal se ha dado cuenta de que si marca su pedido en la pantalla, puede hacer que espere todo el tiempo que quiera sin que la oficina central sepa cuán pobres son sus tiempos de servicio.

Esto es lo peor que he visitado. Estábamos de vacaciones en la zona y pasamos por un bocado para comer aproximadamente a las 8 pm el viernes por la noche, de camino a nuestro alojamiento. Estaba absolutamente sucio y asqueroso. Los contenedores se desbordaban y usaban bandejas y escombros que ensuciaban la mayoría de las mesas. Ventanas sucias cubiertas de huellas de manos pegajosas. La comida cayó al suelo. Comida como cualquier otra salida. Estaba claro que nadie estaba limpiando el restaurante o vaciando los contenedores, si los contenedores se hubieran vaciado con regularidad para que los clientes pudieran limpiar su propia basura. El marido se quejó con el gerente sobre el sorprendente estado del lugar y, poco después, el gerente salió para limpiar las mesas y vaciar los contenedores de basura. Le oímos decirle a los demás que el personal se negaba a seguir sus instrucciones y hacer lo que se les pagaba por hacer y mantener el restaurante limpio y ordenado. Si este es el caso, deben ser despedidos. Nunca volvería a visitar este lugar nunca más.

It used to be good years ago but over the last couple of years it’s gone down hill badly. Easy to get fast food right but then you get these amateur business people popping up hoping to cut corners and raise their profits quicker. Result is stale food - last few time the salad on the burgers, or just lettuce, has been slightly brown and soggy, cheap mayo, chips ok but they’ve moved to a cheaper oil which leaves a sweetish taste. Customer service is hit and miss, clumsy or rude staff who hardly who almost lob the food at you in the drive thru. Rubbish.

We stopped here on our way to Centre Parcs Whinfell Forest. We had our noraml food choices and the food was at the normal Mcdonalds prices. Our food here was nicer than the Carlisle branch at Kingstown. This Mcdonalds was extremely busy even at late afternoon on a Friday. The restraunt was clean and tidy and welcoming. Though, it was hard to find a table. The only thing about the Penrith Mcdonalds is a lack of parking compared to Carlisle Kingstown. We had to circle around the car park a few times. We even saw some people paying and walking over in the Train Station Car Park. Overall, A good Mcdonalds

Went to the drive through and placed our order. Were told to go and park up in the waiting bay and they would bring our food out to us. A lady came out with a bag, luckily I checked inside and noticed the burgers were missing. So called the lady back and she went back inside to get them. 5 minutes later she returned with the missing burgers. By now the fries and been sat 5 minutes so weren’t very warm but wasn’t prepared to go back and queue for another 20 mins to ask for the fries to be changed. We set off to drive back home which is only a a couple of minutes away to get home and unpack the food to realise we were missing our share box of chicken nuggets. So back in the car we got and drove back up to ask where the rest of our order was. The young lad said they were had been sat on the side and had been forgotten about. So he picked them up and handed them to us. I said it’s nearly 20 mins since they were ordered and if they’ve been sat on the side aren’t going to be hot. He said he would get some fresh ones but by this point everything else was stone cold. Absolute shambles. Staff clearly don’t have a clue!

Had to finish work and nip to Newcastle for a hospital appointment so needed a quick bite on the road for myself and my boy. A large "Mctasty" meal was ordered at the drive thru. Half a box of lukewarm fries and a burger that looked like it had been made by someone on a pogo stick and then lobbed the length of the kitchen in to the bag. Very kind of them to leave a hair in burger too! I have eaten from this "restaurant " once in the last year. I won't make the same mistake again however pressed for time or however hungry I am ever again.

Quick and clean with friendly service. One minutes walk from the railway station and a great view of the castle opposite.

It's a McDonalds, so what can you say... well, quite a lot actually. I like that it's 24 hour and has a drive through, but often the breakfast food is tepid and the hot chocolate is so weak it's like brown water, except for the last month because the hot chocolate machine has been broken... for a month!

I am completely disgusted by the service in McDonald’s, a little ginger man who appears to be the manager is extremely rude and refuses to serve teenage kids who must fund there workers wages, I don’t see what the problem is with teenagers being in McDonald’s, pathetic!

I am very shocked at how the staff members spoke to the youths, and how rude they were towards them as they only wanted to buy some food. They got told they weren't getting served because they were part of a "group" but they had no clue what they were going on about, the girls were very polite but the way they got approached by staff was appalling, the girls and I felt very intimidated by them as they did nothing wrong and got spoken to like they were worth nothing. I was very concerned because the girls seemed quite worried as they thought it was them who'd let the society down by other youths behaviours but they got the blame. Macdonals earn a lot of money from teenagers as most people use this restaurants to catch up with there mates and take a bite to eat and now that's got taken away from them. I will not be returning to Macdonals as it gave me a whole different view on the people that work there.

I only came in for my tea and I was discussed with the way they spoke to the children when they just came to buy their tea they refused to serve them. The fact they probably earn a lot of money from teenagers than older people, such as myself, it seemed unfair and as if people had different advantages to the younger youth. The girls seemed polite and would clearly not do what they were being referred to, the manager himself probably knows things are taken out of proportion. Issues like this should be looked at carefully and dealt with in an adult manner. It’s like saying, are you going to band every teenager that enters this restaurant? The way I witnessed this is an explanation why I won’t be entering the restaurant again.

We stopped here for breakfast while going across to the lakes. Not that far off the A66 or M6. Car park is abit tight, so wouldn't want to be towing a caravan. Easy ordering and quick service. Nothing flash, it's a mcdonalds.

Sólo vamos por el extraño comer como los niños viven, especialmente mi hijo autista porque es siempre la misma. De todos modos el personal parecía un poco desagradable y desinteresado, tanto que nos dieron patatas fritas tamaño x4 en vez de grandes y sólo 3 en vez de 5. selecciona Pagamos por el terror, pero nunca llegaron. No quería quejarme demasiado ocupado y habría estresado mi hijo en su cumpleaños 13. Un poco decepcionado y estafado.

We experienced the usual friendly service we always get when we visit any of these restaurants. We did however have table service which was new to us! They did need to empty the bins a bit more frequently though!

Helpful lovely staff and fresh food! Young teens causing a scene and disrespecting staff which appalled me but staff handled it well.

Just charged £9.98 at drive thru till for a big tasty meal - staff disinterested and unwilling to discuss. Checked when home and overcharged by at least £4. Suggest be on guard against what I would suggest was deliberate overcharging.

Facilities were not available for 24x7 as it mentioned. Unfriendly staff. It does have Tabs inside for children and adults to play but all of them not equipped with internet only one out of four. Really needs improvment.

Overly expensive inside area. A haven for gobby drivers doing trailer changes all night. At least the thieves do their best not to wake you while they steal your trucks load.

Full disclosure... I adore a grey, horrific, end of days burger van burger and got drunk one night and the smell dragged me in... might have been the skin full of beer but it was sublime. Another night, I ended up with a cheese garlic bread one night instead of a tomato one and the base was absolutely superb. Tonight I ordered a pizza and it's incredible. Risen base, crisp crust, and just... Just...
