We were greeted at the door and given a lovely table by the window. We ordered drinks at the bar but used the QR code to order our food. I had the chicken kebab which was very tasty, my friend had the chicken pops and chips. The food came quickly, all condiments and cutlery was already provided on the table. The manager Ian came over and said hello, made us both feel at home. Great visit!

Very dog friendly restaurant. Reserved a table online and dog was allowed in the main seating area, so you are not made to sit outside or anywhere awkward. Order by table service, very efficient and not a long wait. Food came out well cooked, tasty and exactly as ordered. Staff very helpful and friendly too. I would recommend.

This was a half way point for a family meet up for my dad’s 82nd birthday. Nothing was too much trouble. The team were friendly and made a fuss of our table ensuring everything was in order. The food all came out together despite there being 10 of us. The lady serving us (sorry - didn’t get her name) was so friendly. The food was what I would expect for the price we paid and there were no complaints. Really good experience and nice touch of a birthday card for my dad! Thank you.

Only wish there was more tables outside.

Come today for lunch with my two friends, I come here often for food as they have a good gluten free menu, I am also dairy free and requested vegan cheese on my burger which the man behind the bar was happy to do for me and went and talked to the chef who was also happy to do this for me, the food was out within 30 minutes my friends got pizzas they looked lovely, service was good, definitely recommend especially if you have food intolerances as they are very understanding and helpful.

Lovely place to eat with friends and family. A good varied menu with reasonable prices. All very delicious. Good decor and very clean. Very friendly and helpful staff.I visited as a charity group of eight people and we were shown to a quiet corner to have our meeting. It was nice to have no music blaring. My partner and I shared a starter. Then I had the Ultimate Veggie Burger with sweet potato fries, and it was delicious 😋. For a vegetarian this was good value and a good menu option to choose, no fault and all eaten. The restaurant floor, tables and toilets were very clean. And the staff very helpful.

This place is bangin!! Been going for years and best it's ever been!! New menu recently started and its well worth a try. Vegan options are really good and the bang bang cauliflower kebabs are awesome! Not on the menu, but just ask at the bar. Prices are reasonable and occasional offers. Great selection of ales and drinks. We had a slight issue with my partners food, nothing major and we said it wasn't a problem, it was sorted immediately with apologies and a free round of drinks. We said it wasn't necessary but they insisted. Really nice staff and great atmosphere. They show sports, have a pub quiz and beer offers, two Moretti's for £7 every Friday at the moment. Kids play area outside and small one inside with tablets and games. Check it out, but book a table first!!! It gets busy.

Table we had booked was ready and waiting when we arrived, there was only one member of staff behind the bar who was brilliant but due to the pub being extremely busy waiting for service was inevitable, one out of the four meals a chilli chicken flatbread was of poor quality I.e. meat was tasteless and certainly not spicy and the meal was tepid and not hot.

Love coming for the quiz and the atmosphere. It's the most homely new built pub I've been too. Update. Make sure you wave directly at the bar staff or direct eye contact with them or you will be ignored or served after people that arrive after you. When questioning things on the menu make sure you point specifically to what you mean otherwise they might not understand the efficiency and knowledge of the bar staff seems to have dipped.

We have been visiting the Penny Farthing since it opened, it’s had its ups and downs depending on the manager but the current manager and his team are doing a great job. The food is always very good and the gluten free menu is really important to one of the family so makes us choose there over other places. The service is always good, food comes out well cooked and without a wait, even when it’s busy, the pub pulls a good pint too! Could just do with a bit more music, although may not be possible considering the locality to houses. Great job Penny Farthing!

We were here for Xmas Dinner. The staff were very attentive and the atmosphere was very festive. What let the occasion down was the quality of the food. This is our 3rd year here for Xmas day dinner and I don't feel this year was as good as others. What was served was hot, roast potatoes were appalling. Prawn cocktails were poor The apple crumble tart thing was disgusting. Not finished by anybody. On the whole this meal wasn't worth what was paid. Very poor value.
