Penelopes kitchen in Salford - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

The food and the atmosphere was amazing! I went with my friends for dinner and we had a great time!!

Visiting Mediacity in Manchester, had time to kill, so opted for a morning Café Latte in Penelope's Deli. Nice coffee, on rustic seating / benches. Friendly if slow staff.

Good refuge on a cold rainy day, coffee was ok, service a bit disinterested, i suspect i was not cool or young enough to warrant better service, food looked alright but I won't be going again !

Popped in to grab some light bites to eat and drinks on the first post lockdown weekend. Sat out front enjoying the nice weather. Very reasonably priced and the staff were lovely.

Thought this was just for Media staff at first, but once we got over our inhibitions it was fine for a quick coffee and a nice place to watch the comings and goings in relative comfort.

First, the good bits. The coffee was nice, and the baked potato with cheese was very acceptable. The staff are friendly. BUT I visited twice on consecutive days. The first time, I had to ask the young lady for my change. She had put my money in the till, then gone off to do something else. The following day, with a different person serving, I handed over a £20 note for a bill of £7.50. After putting it in the till then walking off to do something else, the young chap handed me £7.50 change. I wouldn't have mentioned this if it hadn't happened twice, but I'll use the place if I am ever in Media City again.

Cold, wet Sunday afternoon and very busy with visitors waiting for or returning from Coronation Street tours. Tables piled high with used cups and no one around to clear up or clean. Only two staff members in sight. Ordered a couple of hot drinks and got the last remaining sandwich (at 2.30pm) and was overcharged for the privilege. At least the server rectified the shortfall in change without question! If this place is what welcomes tourists from further afield who’d recommend visiting Media City?

Great soy vanilla latte, had bacon egg and sausage barm. I’d say the over food and service was excellent for the money charged. Definitely somewhere I’d pop by again when in area.

Stopped here for breakfast this morning before visiting IWM North. Ordered two bacon baguettes and a tea, which you would think was simple enough. After the server went to make the breakfast she said she only had one ‘barm’ left so was bread ok? I said I had ordered baguettes and only at this point she said they did not have any. I said a sandwich was fine and she made one of them in a barm and added brown sauce, I had asked for ketchup but I was ok with brown. As I had been told this was the only barm I was expecting her to make the other sandwich on bread but she just told me to wait a while. After a few minutes and no activity, apart from her texting someone, I asked if I could have the tea while we waited. She seemed to have completely forgotten this so then made the tea. I then reminded her that I was happy to have the second sandwich on bread and she went off to make it. To my surprise she then returned with another bacon barm. So having ordered two bacon baguettes, then being told their was only one barm and no baguettes, we we ended up with two barms! Unfortunately the bacon was cold in both! As we were leaving I noticed a display of baguettes (and other stick style loaves) in the display counter!!

The location is nice, we just had drinks. Coffee was very strong, too strong actually so wasnt finished. Didnt eat so can't comment on the food. Lovely location!

I arrived at a good time since there was no queue and it is a very popular place. Very friendly and helpful young man served me and nothing was too much trouble for him. Very good choice of locally and ethically sourced food including soup; hot or cold filled paninis; wraps; cakes and biscuits; lovely, fresh choose-what-you-like salad bar (generously filled boxes); proper teas and coffees. Options for regular, vegetarian and vegan customers. I had a super big salad and a flat white for less than £6 - you wouldn't get value like that at most arts/heritage/cultural venues. It put me in an excellent mood for the excellent concert which followed. First class - just like the BBC!

Penelope's is close by the entrance to the "Coronation Street Tour" Good friendly service and affordable prices ! Eg, Bacon Tea Cake and cup of Tea £4.50, tasty and good value. Thanks.

Bought a bottle of water ahead of the Corrie Tour...Staff member that served us( large dark lady with bright red lipstick) has never learned to smile or say please and Thankyou...just snatched our money and banged our change down on the side.Wouldn’t go again

Ate here after our Corrie tour. We saw chicken wraps whilst buying water before our tour. After the tour I went to buy the chicken wraps, but they were all sold, so l bought the only wraps left, which was hummus and salad leaves. These were vey good and tasty. The cafe was busy with people waiting for the tours, or just finished one. There are long tables with benches and some chairs, ok to sit on for a short time whilst eating a snack. Would recommend this cafe.

Great coffee lounge and location right next to the Corrie Tour starting point. Coffee and bacon sandwich I ordered was excellent, although staff attitude could have been a bit happier for a Sunday morning and remember a smile doesn’t cost anything!

Nipped in for a coffee and a light bite to eat. Service was really good and the prices represented really good value for money. Would definitely go back if I’m in the area again.

went to see a show at salford media with my son and a friend. Bacon sandwiches were very cold. had to take hot chocolate and coffee back as they were lukewarm. they came back just warm. it was a freezing cold day and we were looking forward to a nice hot drink. looks like it's Costa's from now on

Just had a coffee and tea sitting outside. Enjoyed the fresh coffee whilst wait to queue for 100k Drop audience participation

Called for a coffee after watching a BBC show being filmed in Dock 10. Service was pretty slow, due mainly to the slow coffee making equipment. Yes, I know that real coffee takes time to prepare but that doesn't help if you're in a hurry. Service was a bit haphazard in that customers were pushing to the counter rather than queuing in line so it wasn't always clear as to who was next so the staff seemed a little pushed at the time we arrived. Maybe it's better at quieter times when shows are actually in progress.

Penelope's is next to the Cycle Hub which is used by University of Salford Students, it is near the Blue Peter Garden in MediaCity UK and across the road is a Pie Factory and my mum and i went there to be interviewed by Mr Jeremy Kyle but this interview was later edited-out.

Soy un cliente habitual de estudio en el edificio de penelope blanco en la ciudad de los medios de comunicación y hacen el mejor café con leche de soja de vainilla ❤ ❤ ❤ ️ ️ ️

He comido aquí varias veces (trabajo) y nunca ha sido muy impresionados, pero hoy se llevó la palma.

A great location to catch a snack.Friendly staff,nice food and good value.Well worth trying if you are in the area.

Conocí a un compañero de trabajo para un almuerzo de trabajo, propuso hoy que es Cocina Penelopes adyacente a las oficinas de itv donde trabaja.

Realmente disfrutamos de la comida aquí hoy. Tuve el cordero kebab y mi amigo tiene el Mac y el queso. En general, ambos nos marchamos llenos, pero no estoy 100% seguro de que tenía una buena relación calidad-precio.

Aquellos que teniendo en cuenta la cocina de Penelope necesidad de administrar las expectativas. Una joya escondida de lugar en Salford Quays/media City. Este lugar es sólo laborables, lo cual indica claramente su enfoque principal de trade...namely quienes trabajan en los medios ciudad o vivir...

Esto está bien si no tienes ni comer sano en particular en mente: hay muy pobre opciones para aquellos que no quieren alimentos ricos en grasa.

We went for pancakes on pancake day but they had run out! Fortunately the alternatives were delicious, freshly cooked and sweet potato chips to die for!

Met a friend here for breakfast and had the delicious Danny Radman (bacon pancakes) a little tucked away but worth it. Really sweet place with friendly staff.

Visited with one of my work colleagues and what a great place, very cute, Lovely staff and the food was high quality considering it isn't expensive. My burger came with free fries which was a welcomed surprise and we really liked that it has a open plan kitchen so you can watch your food being made. Love the free refill coffee we could have stayed for hours.

Went to Penelopes for lunch with a group of work friends and was unfortunately really disappointed!!! It always looks to be busy so I expected the food to be good and the place to be nice.Unfortunately it was freezing inside!!!! I sat on a wobbly wooden bench wrapped up in my scarf and coat and couldn't get warm at all. Then someone opened all the windows, just to freeze me some more.I ordered a 'Kevin Bacon' burger which is a double burger with American cheese and crispy bacon in a brioche bun with fries. The bacon was anything but crispy, in fact it was fatty and cold and the burgers were overcooked and bland, the brioche wasn't toasted which was disappointing and the piece of cheese was so small I hardly tasted it. The fries were more like crisps as they were so overcooked :(I also ordered a bottle of Budweiser which was warm, surprising when Penelopes is so cold!!!!!It wasn't expensive, but it was too expensive for such bland, cold, unappetising food.

Charming decor, pleasant service and good quality food at very reasonable prices. I went for one of the burgers, and the quality of the meat was apparent from the first bite.Looking forward to heading back for breakfast in the very near future!

Its such a sweet place and I like the staff and the ambience. I am happy to have a coffee here but the smell of chips and grease is too much for me for anything else.

May I suggest: Greek yogurt with fruit on your breakfast menu?Also, sugar free / wheat free muesliFresh Greenies and SmoothiesNot everyone wants to eat bacon or sausage or pancakes

I thought the chips where nice, the staff and layout, however my burger was raw, but this was apprently because i never said i wanted it well done, i feel they should ask you upon purchurse how you want it like they do in a resturant if you order steak!

Came here for breakfast last week, we were the only ones in which was great because my good came super quick and tasted great! free refill coffee is better then the gospel to me. I wish they were open on a saturday though as I can only come when I am on my holidays from work :( :(

My first visit was February 2014; I have now been a few times, and keep going back.Nice relaxed atmosphere, with really friendly staff and food to match.Even during busy periods the food arrives quickly, and with plenty of promotions & specials, it's well worth following them on Twitter & Facebook too just to see what's on offer.I have been on a number of occasions now, and have yet to be disappointed with either the food or the service.One final pointer - try the Kevin Bacon burger; bacon, bit more bacon, and some bacon bits on top.

We had my grandsons birthday party here the food was great and the staff very friendly, there was loads of room for the kids and the adults

Went here for lunch in mid feb and loved it. Decor and ambience spot on and the food is just great. Very hard these days it seems, to find a restaurant with staff as enthusiastic and pleasant as theirs and the food is obviously something they take pride in.Well worth a visit..

This is a hidden gem tucked away at the back of MediaCity. The food is fantastic and the staff are accommodating even when you ask for breakfast at 11:30am! Try the pancakes stack - full English breakfast built with a stack of pancakes... Amazing!
