Penny Farthing in Coventry

Lovely food and lovely friendly atmosphere.

Booked for a family meal of 18 people. The seating was great as we had the whole corner to ourselves, only thing id change is the fact the tables werent put together so we all had to sit seperately. We had the table from 3-7 which was nice as we wasnt rushed, we were able to take our time and leave when we were ready. Food was amazing, couldnt fault it. Eveyone had something different and no one had any complaints. Staff were very friendly and service was super quick. Children made the most of the outside area. We will deffinately be returning.

Had plenty of meals in the past. This was the first time that it wasn't good. Hopefully just a blip.

Staff are very friendly, and attentive 5 star

Can’t ask for more, staff as always attentive food always served with a smile never had a bad meal here will keep me coming back every time

Can’t fault the pub at all our visit was flawless staff were so attentive couldn’t ask for more will definitely be back and telling all our friends to do the same finally found a family friendly pub we feel we can trust in always delivering btw the fish and chips were to die for!!

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

Enjoy the visit for my birthday

Love this place. Really quiet when I went in for lunch, so plenty of choice of where to sit. The Staff were really friendly and helpful and our lunches were really tasty. Will go again. Nice car park beside the pub and a small outside play area for younger children.

Great night for a family and friends gathering, handled a pre-order for 12 of us very well and all three courses came out hot and tasty and everyone had a great time! Looking forward to the next one!

Stumbled on this pub while looking for somewhere to eat,wish I hadn't one if not the worst meal I have had. Looking the the menu I choose a donor kebab meal on a flat toasted bread with salad and garlic mayo with chips. The meal cost £12 which was quite a decent price for a kebab . The flat toasted bread base was not toasted properly and was cold,the kebab meat was very small pieces,and the sort you get from a box in iceland,it was dry and overcooked,hardly any garlic mayo on(a bottle of mayo was brought to the table but was completely empty could not squeeze a drop out) the chips were over cooked. Even the coffee I had,a Americarno was such a small cup and cold when brought to my table. The whole setup was designed for maximum profit for poorest quality. If you look at my reviews this might be the worst ever as I do try to be fair

Excellent meal, especially the Sirloin steaks, with the one ordered as "Blue"... All 4 meals were left with clean plates.. Compliments to Elaina, the chef..👍 Very friendly staff... Nice atmosphere... Highly recommended...5 star..

Perfect place to take the kids. Prices are affordable , staff are friendly.

All of the main courses were delicious and fulfilling, and also looked really appetising. The desserts are heartwarmingly sweet and the portions are man-sized! It's a lovely place really, we're coming back as soon as we can :)

The food is amazing!! We both had fish & chips and it was beautiful. The chef was called Elaina and we can always tell when she is in the kitchen, as the food is always superb without fail. 5 stars to her!!! The service staff are all lovely and friendly, and they do everything they can for their customers. Nothing is ever too much trouble! We strongly recommend this pub to anyone.

Celebrated a birthday do there last night . Excellent service. Really quick with the food orders .very nice staff.

Atmosphere and staff are consistently good but food has been known to let the pub down

Warm and friendly service, very good food and drinks. Thank you.

Amazing pub. Super friendly staff always helpful, amazing with children and always go out there way to help your food to be perfect.

Came in with a big table of us for family Christmas outing. On Christmas eve, the place is clean. Staff were very friendly and efficient and food was really good and value for money. There qwre 12 of us after all

Fabulous food , staff & service

The wife had Sunday roast and went large but came as standard with only a small amount of gravy, I had a rump steak asked for medium but came more well done, I must say this is the first time this has happened, all the rest was ok

Really lovely place came here first tome food was 100 pecernt Staff were nice and felt homely

Lovely local pub near Banner Lane in Coventry. The staff are friendly and welcoming and the food is good!

Great staff, welcoming, food tasty. Good choice of food.

Absolutely loved it. Brilliant atmosphere, amazing service and a lovely local feel. It was the right amount of busy - perfect for a pre Christmas night out.

Myself and friends had festive lunch. Very good

Dined here today ( not for the first time) with my Grandsons for a festive 3 course meal! Wow! I was running late - absolutely no problem, staff were amazing, interacted with kids, quick service! Food was amazing, plenty, hot and flavoursome, will definitely be back and recommend highly for any occasion

Great experience great service friendly staff

A pleasant evening at the ‘ Penny Farthing’ excellent food and atmosphere.All staff pleasant and helpful.Excellent pub/ resstaurant

Thankyou for a lovely afternoon at The Penny Farthing for our Group Open Doors. When I came in to book for a party of 29 people Chris was polite and helpful and throughout the booking process kept me updated. We were welcomed in today and had a lovely meal with great service from all the staff including the manager Ian. Everyone went home content so again thank you for your hospitality and great service.

The Penny Farthing is every thing a good local pub should be. Friendly, welcoming and good value. Their pizzas are tasty and the perfect accompaniment to one of their good choice of beers. The place feels homely and they run fun events like the quiz on a Wednesday. It is a proper local.

Nice venue, service friendly, and helpful. Prices good, food good. Recommended 🍻

Absolute delight coming into this pub. All decorated for Christmas. Staff are very welcoming and friendly always checking if everything is okay. And the food prepared by the chef Elanor was a complete delight and this first time in months been able to eat a full meal. I would definitely highly recommend to friends and family.

The pub was well presented and decorated for Christmas which my child absolutely adored. The staff were extremely friendly and efficient and the food was great! We will definitely be back!

Lovely place with friendly staff and amazing food.

Great atmosphere.Food very reasonably priced.Friendly staff.

Great team, so attentive and kind and make you feel welcome, the only negative i have is the price of the Beer which seems to be always increasing, The Beer i drink is Morretti which is now £5.90, when if came in last year it was £4.80 so has increased by 23%, in era where every penny counts. I would hate to not contribute to my Local pub due to the prices forever inceasing, when the other local pubs are nearly £3 a round cheaper for the same drinks my partner and i drink.

The Penny Farthing pub is a charming spot that perfectly blends cozy atmosphere with excellent service. The staff is friendly and attentive, making you feel right at home. The food is delicious, with a great selection of classic pub dishes and unique specials. Plus, the drink menu offers a fantastic range of local beers and crafted cocktails. Whether you're there for a casual meal or a night out with friends, the Penny Farthing is a must-visit!

Staff are very friendly and helpful and polite food was excellent highly recommended

Great local pub for eat and drinks. Food was delicious. Lovely pleasant atmosphere. Chef Elena is a kind person with lot of humor.

Love the staff they’re all fantastic and always make sure that everything we need that they can do happens for us, speedy service with drinks and food will always recommend them to family and friends to go for a causal drink or something yummy to eat

We love coming here as a family, love of menu choices for everyone. We are always looked after, chris is great, very helpful and food always good.

Love the veg chilli, kids first choice and great range of drinks, staff are very friendly and can even take the dog. Thabk you

Great service and delicious food!

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

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 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.

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

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

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 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 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 .

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

Great food, really enjoyed the chicken kebab

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!

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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
