Nestled in the heart of Coventry, Penny Farthing offers a warm, cozy atmosphere that perfectly captures the essence of a traditional British pub. But what sets this pub apart is its culinary flair, thanks to Chef Elena, whose skill and creativity elevate the pub’s menu to something truly special. The dishes here go beyond the usual pub fare. Elena has a knack for taking familiar classics and giving them an unexpected twist. Her Sunday roast is a standout—perfectly cooked meats with all the trimmings, and the kind of gravy that makes you want to mop up every last drop. For those looking for something unique, her seasonal specials are always worth trying. During my visit, I had the lamb pie, a house specialty that was both hearty and refined, with a filling that was rich, savory, and perfectly spiced. Elena’s attention to fresh ingredients is evident in every bite, and her dedication to quality shines through. The Penny Farthing’s drinks menu pairs wonderfully with her dishes, whether you’re in the mood for a pint of local ale or one of their carefully selected wines. With its friendly staff, inviting decor, and Chef Elena’s exceptional cuisine, Penny Farthing is a must-visit for anyone in Coventry. This isn’t just a place for a quick pint; it’s a destination for memorable meals in an atmosphere that feels like home.

I love the kids meals here, 1st choice for the family every time great range of drinks too.

Great service and delicious food!

I came to Coventry to have a Meal with My Daughter and her Boyfriend as her Birthday is soon I have to say the service Food was great good portions and definitely value for money would definitely recommend.

When booking the table online, I couldn't advise I wanted a table for 3 (me, my wife and our daughter) but when I got there I was told I only booked for 2. This was sorted out relatively quickly, which was fair enough. I did have issues ordering the food though and the staff member was quite defensive. My wife wanted the vegan chilli but didn't fancy rice or chips with it. Previously, we have been able to swap this for a jacket potato with no issue, but tonight the server was adamant it couldn't be done. I asked agai. If we could swap as we have had this before and eventually this was agreed but I was told it shouldn't have ever been agreed as it messes with stock levels. I asked if the server would be happy to pass on feedback that it could be an available option and was told that so much is referred to head office that there's no point and nothing gets changed, which is an awful attitude to have. I also order a sharer to come out as a starter, but the mains were brought out first and I had to send it back and ask for the sharer to come out first. We have used this pub as a family a lot and it recently seems that when it is busier the staff aren't as helpful and it seems like a struggle. Not the best experience we've had from a service point of view. The food was good though when it came, but that is only a part of the experience ce.

Never disappointed when we visit the Penny whether it’s to eat or drink The food is always great the atmosphere is so chilled and the staff always look after us Debbie is a star she is always smiling and helpful all the staff are great This is my favourite place

Good chain type pub. The service was very good and helpful.

Very good service - particularly good at dealing with allergies. Our allergens are not common, so not on the usual lists. We were shown a list of all the ingredients for the dishes we were interested in, to make a sensible choice. Very happy.

Fabulous, friendly service from the staff with good value, tasty food. It’s what we’ve come to expect from this great local pub. Special shout out to Chris who went out of his way to get me an area for 15 of us - thank you! Love the Sunday quiz too.

Great staff, atmosphere, food & value. We visit regularly. Brilliant pub to socialise with friends or just go for a quiet drink.

Great pub with good atmosphere. Food always good and tasty and great value especially with current offer of 30% off mains. Chris did a good job in charge last night. Manager Ian runs a tight ship with friendly staff. The brewery needs to support Ian with a very much needed interior (looking tired) refurbishment ? Great place for a drink and food. Highly recommended.

Visited for the first time with my son and parents as they were told this place was good. Good is an understatement, it was fantastic! The food was delicious, all of the staff were pleasant and courteous and the decor was relaxing and tasteful. Well done Penny Farthing, I hope to be seeing you again very soon.

Great all round service, staff very friendly and welcoming, Debs is a star 👍🏻

Nice and tidy. Good food menu. Reasonably priced

We just called in for a quick lunch . . Service was great food was good . The pub looks like it needs a little TLC but perfectly okay . Value for money

We are regulars at the Penny because we've never had a bad meal, the atmosphere is always good whatever time of day and the staff are brilliant, we visit at least one of month for these reason

Lovely meal, service as good, staff friendly and helpful. Thanks.

Really good vegan options which were clearly demarcated and the servers were helpful and friendly. Will definitely be going again!

Great atmosphere, friendly staff, good value

Very friendly and helpful staff, delighted with the ability to customize meals to meet dietary preferences, good atmosphere, really tasty cocktails

I was taken for my 85th Birthday ,the food was very good service was excellent and very friendly. Toilets were nice and clean .was nice to go to a place that you could hear each other speak .

We were a group of four with 2 dogs. The staff were very welcoming and nothing seemed to much trouble. The food was very good and excellent value.

I went to the Penny Farthing for lunch yesterday and had a very enjoyable meal including a main course, dessert and a drink. It is a place I can recommend and I will be returning again soon.

Great service and excellent food and generous portion sizes, staff polite and helpful

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!

Great food, really enjoyed the chicken kebab

Like to thank Debbie for her amazing service so attentive and ensured we all had a good time celebrating my son’s 4th birthday. All food was lovely to.

Food nice but nothing special. What you would expect from this kind of family chain-pub. Nothing bad but nothing exceptional.

Brilliant, great pub would absolutely recommend. Great food, drinks, and crowd is always nice. Good pour on the Guinness as well

Very nice pub. Great food, very good prices. Staff very friendly. Debbie was very nice and helpful.

Great place with a great atmosphere, very friendly and laid back, always felt it is a nice relaxed place, very welcoming

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.

the friendliest and most helpful of staff. Great food. Excellent value.

Scott did extremely well, when dealing with confrontational customer. She was not very nice at all and he was in the right. He stayed very professional throughout even though visibly uncomfortable.

Ian and the team do a fantastic job, the food it top notch and the atmosphere is amazing perfect for families. The menu caters for everyone and very fairly priced. We always have a brilliant experience at the Penny.

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.

Husband"s birthday, so party of 9 adults and 2 toddlers had a lovely reasonably priced meal with excellent , friendly, service. Highly recommended.

Came here for lunch. Was very impressed. Food was lovely. Debra really looked after us. Will definitely be back.

The Penny Farthing is an easy-going pub where you are welcomed by friendly staff when you go there for a meal or a drink. It is a popular place so give them a ring to book a table if you want to go there for a meal.

Always good service and good food. Excellent value for money too.

Food was amazing and hot and well presented Service was very efficient Would definitely come again and would recommend to friends and family x

Visited today for Sunday lunch today.I had Roast turkey (could have been a bit more portion not as good as usual.My partner had roast beef a little more would have been good.The food was served with plenty of veg and piping hot gravy..I requested hot food and my wishes were meet

Always come here for family meals, food and customer service is always brilliant. Would highly recommend 😊😊

We had a lovely meal. The manager arranged a different table for us even though The Penny Farthing was very busy. It was a really hot night, service was excellent. A great team.

Food and service is always good but the tables are always sticky and old furniture let's the place down badly

Always a pleasure visiting the Penny, we come here often. The standards are always high and always leave with a smile.

Great atmosphere, friendly staff , good value for money . We brought our husky with us and they were very accommodating, will visit again. Quick service

A nice pub. Very busy and noisy but food was good. Barman (Chris I think) was a bit abrupt. I will go definitely go there again as it was good value for money.

Pleasantly surprised on my visit here for the first time. Pleasant, friendly staff. Food well priced and tasty (plenty of vegan choices, vegan delight pizza lovely). Would visit again.

Good Sunday lunch and excellent service Roast turkey and red cabbage was something different ,which was very acceptable.Staff very helpfull and catered well for my Gluten free diet.Thank again. Chris&Val

Beeing there with kids. Have a small play area for kids outside with tables. You can find kids corner inside as well. They have a parking area near but it is not too big.

Great place to take the family , great food , great service , kids love it with the kids zone inside, a play area outside and a park across the little road , adults can have a guilt free pint ;)

Been for Sunday lunch 4 times now & can't recommend enough. The food is always amazing & the staff are fabulous, kind, smiley & friendly

Had lunch with friends. Had a pie which was a little hard. But others meals good. No offers for lunch menu. And quite expensive forvpub food.

Friendly caring staff. Food was served quickly and was hot and delicious.

The best pub around for a cheap but lovely meal! I have never been anywhere that serves top quality meals without the price tag. We all had the cowboy burger which is a family favourite with the option to top up your fries and add the extras. The food was really lovely and the pub itself is great. Only wish there was more tables outside.

Served quickly. Staff were helpful. Food came out - all hot on a hot plate - I complimented the barman on this on my way out. Steaks cooked exactly as ordered 10/10.

The best steak in the area, visited many times and it continues to deliver good quality well cooked food, I always say if you can cook, rest and serve a good steak it's a good sign of a quality chef

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.

Food was lovely and my daughter ordered a pizza - Callum let ger watch him make the pizza and stretch the dough, as well as talking through each step (and offering extra cheese) until it went into the pizza oven. We visit the Penny Farthing often when we fancy a nice family meal out and today didn't disappoint

We have just been for a meal for the first time Food excellent But very upset at the amount of Dogs in there I did ask a gentleman about it and he explained that they are allowed in a certain area as my friend is very allergic and not feeling good I personally don't think dog should be allowed especially sitting on the furniture we travelled from Solihull to your place we will come back as we enjoyed the food and will sit in the area where Dogs are not allowed thank you We came again last night 4 of us what a poor show NO chips only fries They were stone cold in fact we left them and travelled from Solihull to your place you did explain there was a shortage I know you are corporate but I would have gone to a supermarket and purchased some Very Poor😡

One of the best pizzas I've ever had, the dough was amazing, puts Dominoes to shame. Well done to the lizza artiste Chris.

Absolutely loved it. Bar staff was amazing. Food was even better. Atmosphere was fabulous. My children couldn’t eat all there dinner so we asked for takeaway box’s and the staff couldn’t have been anymore lovelier or helpful. Only been hear once before and that was on the Monday for fun bingo. Will not be the last time I bring my family here. Thankyou for a lovely chilled out dinning experience.

Very welcoming, kind friendly and food was very nice

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.

Didn't eat but great friendly service.

Very dangerous food safety the burger isn't cooked properly the allergies procedure no existing.and much more.....Be careful to eat there!!!!;

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.

Lovely food relaxed place to eat helpful staff

Food is always spot on, staff always helpful and polite. Not much riffraff in here overall fairly decent place. I go here often for a quiet meal with family and friends. Send the kids out to the garden job done! :-)

Great quick service. I had booked a table with some special requests and each one was met. The food was lovely and the menu was varied enough to give everyone options. I will definitely be returning

Everything we ordered was delivered to our satisfaction

Ate here yesterday for my mum's 90th Birthday, there was 9 of us eating food was lovely all hot and came out the same time we brought our own cake which staff brought out service was very good nothing was too much trouble would recommend eating here

We had a lovely meal and starter. Quieter area of the restaurant. Food was amazing. Service also amazing. Will definitely be returning

Visited with family . Food was amazing . Atmosphere on point. Will 100% be recommending to friends.

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.

Great place, excellent atmosphere, good prices. Friendly locals.

We had a lovely time last night.....good food and friendly, efficient staff! Thank you.

Fab service and staff. But due unfortunately to low staffing, no pizzas for kids. Meals were tasty but small portions . It's a great pub, love the su day roasts although roast potatoes are s.all.

Great value food for the price. Staff were great. Mostly clean but the tables were sticky although didn't look unclean. Also our menus were minging but we did see staff cleaning them when wiping down tables so maybe ours had just been missed. Other than that we loved our visit.

Bit pricy for a housing estate pub

I have to many marston pubs but the penny farthing is one to Visit I would recommend

Pleasant staff food good coffee not hot enough

Been there twice for a lunch absolutely no problems at all with preparing food for scheduled hour

Small family friendly pub, food was quick and good value.

Very efficient and friendly service.

If you are a foreigner...first you pay at the cashier, then they bring you your food or beer, they are not going to go to your table to pick up your order.

I’ve been to the penny farthing multiple times and the staff are also brilliant, the manager Matthew always makes sure the customers are happy and are being served the pub is always clean and tidy never had any complaints about the food I’ve had always amazing would highly recommend visiting the penny farthing pub

The service was very good. the food was very good. Enjoyed the visit.

Nice place to go with friends and family. A traditional British based menu.

Very good food ,reasonably priced ,great atmosphere and friendly staff

Awesome pub grub with friendly staff and excellent choice for food and drink. Also the kids menu offers lots of variety for our little one. Our favourite place to eat out

I went to penny and have been going a long time.. But I won't step foot in that place again.. With bar manager I think it was? only way to describe was piecing awful attitude my food was terrible.. peas smelly sent it bk to say I won't be getting refund to staff that was on nearly fall over because of the smell.. Nasty

Came twice recently as it’s such a lovely place. Manager Ian was great with us the first time as we hadn’t booked and it was busy but he made our visit stress free. We booked the second time though. Food is absolutely fantastic! I love my steak and love it cooked a particular way and twice they’ve done it perfect! Rest of my family had clean plates all round both times too.

Absolutely fantastic. We had my nans 90th birthday. There was 21 of us! All staff were fantastic. Food was great. Didn't have to wait long in-between course's. Definitely be back
