Penny Theatre in Canterbury - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

I don't know what exactly it is about this place but it definitely has something. I normally go for places with ale but here I drink Moretti or Peroni and I'm happy with it 🍻

Came for bottomless brunch to celebrate a friend’s birthday. Drinks were really nice as was the food and our waiter was amazing. Would definitely recommend!!

Nice pub near the center. Good and cheap food. Friendly service and relaxed atmosphere.

Maria was our server she was amazing, we got a bottomless brunch, she was so attentive and informative on the drinks. Super friendly. Food was good, drinks were lush, highly recommend

Outstanding place. I went with 4 friends from work for a bottomless brunch. Fantastic choice of food and drinks and a good length of time. Great value for money. Lovely atmosphere and the staff were very nice, friendly and helpful. Already planning my next visit.

Great place to eat, entertainment on Fri and Sat eves.

Great venue , good selection of food and drink .

Just had bottomless brunch and is truly bottomless, in the 2.5 hours genuinely less than 5 mins with an empty glass, and that was while drinks were being made! Food was good and staff friendly and attentive, what more do you want?!

What an amazing place, personally I think the best place in Canterbury to have bottomless brunch! Been twice now and both times served by Maria, who is outstanding at her job, great energy and so friendly!

Outstanding bottomless brunch experience. The food & cocktails were excellent and our waiter ‘Nate’ was very attentive and friendly. Would highly recommend this superb place.

I used to work running sound for the bands at the penny many years ago. I came back after a long time and was happy to see the venue running so well and still supporting live music. I was made to feel very welcome xx

Great value for money bottomless brunch. Good food, good selection of drinks & friendly staff.

It's a great pub and hold great events but the staff are soooo miserable

Brilliant music venue with gorgeous food

Great food and excellent service for a bottomless brunch!! Our waiter NATE was amazing and so efficient with out orders!! Highly recommend 🍻🍻

The food was delicious, the staff were lovely and accommodating. I will definitely be back when I am in the area, I will 100% recommend, the prices were reasonable

Proper good value on there brunch ! And top level selection of taps too.

A good atmosphere for a drink, but not great food at all. I ordered ‘peri peri chicken’ - I was served a hunk of chicken with a clearly shop bought sauce on top. The chips were cold. My parents ordered nachos with beef, but they missed off the beef. The waiting staff were very nice and helpful. I would definitely come back for a drink, just not food!!

Literally stumbled into this place as we saw the band unloading Lots of space , garden area , good selection of drinks ..and they have live music Well worth a visit

Ethan went above and beyond, good food, better service.

Great food, decent prices and exceptional customer service from Ethan, he really took care of us. Legend

It was amazing from the food to the drinks & overall experience.

Had an amazing day here. Great atmosphere, with the tunes banging out on a bright sunny day.

It was the first time I went. It was packed and there was a good atmosphere. I went to see Totally Blondie, disappointed the band started 45 minutes late due to technical issues. In addition, the mens toilets were right next to the stage. This was badly layed out and very awkward for customers in the area where the band was, with men barging to go into the toilets on a continuous basis. This was very uncomfortable and frustrating.

Turned away after being part of a group of 10

Lovely pub, very friendly and helpful staff, I didn't eat here but there range of drinks is extensive,

Really turned a corner, previous visit was terrible and no one gave a toss, so seeing the change now made me happy, done the brunch and it was excellent value

Beers are good..service also...but food is disappointing especially the burgers..Onion ri ngs were good

Such a great music venue with a fantastic atmosphere & the bar & security staff were very friendly & helpful 5🌟

Came with my partner for bottomless brunch on 15/03/2024 and we had an excellent time! The staff were friendly and really attentive throughout and even offered a bit of extra time to our session as we had a short wait at the start! The food was great and we loved being able to try the range of cocktails available. Brilliant value for money. We can’t wait to come back! :)

Went on a quite Tuesday loved cauli wings. But pizza was a bit soggy.

Fantastic pub, great atmosphere with fantastic food and drinks

We went here for bottomless brunch Saturday it was extremely busy every table booked.. our waitress Maddison did a great job very nice kept our drinking coming food good wing amazing and loads of them!! Pizza could done little more cooking I prefer mine crispy but was still nice. Definitely booking here again 😀

Decided to pop in for a drink and a game of pool. Nice area outside too to sit/smoke. Went in Monday evening and there was a few people there but not busy

Went here for bottomless brunch on a Tuesday. LARA!! Well she was amazing!! Very attentive. Very polite. Made us to feel relaxed and welcoming. Will 100% come again. Hopefully she will be working again.

Was served food and drinks by a lovely staff member called Chloe. Excellent service and a great customer service experience. Would definitely recommend and would go back again. Thanks Chloe.

Nice place for a beer or a band

Beautiful venue and really fun team! Had a wicked night as always ! So worth going for bottomless brunch ❤️❤️❤️

This is true, we were tried to be move three times before the allocated booking time, twice by staff and once by the guests. We were told to leave 10mins before the booking. The table was booked for 7pm yet we were told to leave the table before this time. As you state we left 2mins before the time was due, which is within our rights as paying customers (no longer). Wait to clear up? It was a tiny table and would not have taken 15mins to clean as per your staff member. Find it funny you were shocked for people who booked the table for 7pm got their table at 7pm. You need to sort the way your staff handle customers. Edit from your reply: we were told by staff it was policy to leave the table 15mins before booking for cleaning, this was not shown anywhere, if this is policy then that's your issue with how you time bookings. The table was booked for 7pm we were approached about 6:45 that we need to leave there table in 5mins, the guest then came to us asking to move at 10 to 7 BEFORE the 7pm booking. As stated your guest got the table at 7pm. I know the times as checked my phone when this happened. And yes we found a much better place with friendly staff for our evening and will pass on how unwelcoming your staff and the venue overall have been after your comments. Happy never to go back. 'Hi Lorena, this isn't true is it. You were not kicked out, you were merely warned to vacate the table. Your partner then refused to leave until the booking start time, and you both left 2 minutes before this booking was due. The staff were not rude, but shocked you thought the guests who had actually booked the table you were sat on should wait for you. Luckily these guests were patient enough to wait to clear up after you. Might we suggest you reserve a table next time.'

went to see taylor swift tribute, amazing time and very polite and friendly staff <3 will be back again, great atmosphere !!

just left the place after we've been kicked out 15 min early before the actual booking really bad manners and rude staff. avoid!!!!!!!!

Visited this pub on a Thursday evening; I expected it to be full of students but it was actually fairly quiet, plenty of quiet seating areas available. Drinks are affordable & and good food menu available. It was 2 for 1 on pizzas this nigbt, which looked very tasty. A portion of nachos is generous; my only ‘nit pick’ was that the nachos were not warmed & the grated cheese wasn’t melted. Otherwise, it’s a nice place to visit with friends.

Lively and great place for a party night out.

Tee-Jay was our server and she was so attentive and very welcoming. Very friendly and quick with refilling our drinks. Will definitely be returning. Thank you again!

Tee-Jay was incredibly helpful! Amazing service and lovely atmosphere! 10/10, would absolutely recommend!

What can I say other than OUTSTANDING. Service 1st class as usually you are put in a corner and forgotten but here not at all so attentive. Food again really nice. Seeing other comments about football yes there is but in the front of the pub they play music with football on screens so keeps everyone happy. I will continue to return and recommend all the time they keep this high standard. Thank you all Paul

Absolutely amazing atmosphere the star so lovely 😍

Went in for bottomless brunch for a birthday and the service was amazing, we had tee-jay as our server and she couldn’t have been more welcoming and accommodating. She made the time spent there amazing. Well worth the money

We visited to see a tribute band and got a plate of wings to share which were good quality and value for money. We have since returned and some of the tribute bands are a bit pants, but the food and drink remain good quality. The Green Day tribute band was amazing though. We tend to stay at the front of the bar as there is often football on at the back with lots of shouting and jeering which is a put-off for us non-sports fans.

Absolutely fantastic bottomless brunch! Drinks were flowing and food was great. Big portions to soak up the alcohol… Best place in Canterbury

We had a bottomless brunch, drinks and food choices were not in my opinion limited, plenty of choice! We upgraded the drinks service and the price for what we got was amazing value. Staff we great, friendly and helpful. I’ve never done a bottomless brunch before but would happily do this again here. Make sure you book in advance so you don’t miss out!

Great brunch! Came with 4 friends for the bottomless brunch, great burger and chips and unlimited drinks. Fantastic value! Will be back!

Excellent Bottomless brunch at the Penny. The food was well cooked and surprisingly large portions and the drinks just kept coming. We were worried we would have to chase to get drinks but that didn't happen. The staff were lovely and very hard working.

Went for a Stand up To Cancer charity comedy night midweek. It was a great lineup and fantastic atmosphere. Decent drinks at fair prices and the food looked good, although I didn't eat.

Liverpool were playing.. the match. comfy seats, excellent staff and a bowl of bbq chicken wings and fries...job done! Many thanks...I would of taken 1:1 at the start of the game..but we are doing alright. Looking forward to a return visit.

Decided to pop in on a whim for breakfast and wow it was so good. Staff were super helpful and advised on what they'd recommend and helped with allergy information etc. Food was piping hot and nice and fresh. Was nice being able to eat in such a warm and welcoming environment.

Great atmosphere. Staff very polite and helpful. Bottomless brunch was great value for money. Staff made sure we always had a drink. 10/10. Will be back asap

Super friendly staff! Nice food! Great drinks!

Have been several times before for bottomless brunch but never again. Sat for 1hr20 and only had 2 drinks, half of the table got their food and the rest waited for another half an hour before we decided to leave. Guy behind the bar has a huge attitude problem and was completely unapologetic. Made to pay full price even though we left early.

Not a huge fan of the vegetarian food but the drinks are amazing and as a live music venue it is one of the best in Kent

My friends & I visited Canterbury at the weekend. We had previously booked for bottomless brunch. The atmosphere, quality of food & the service was excellent. We went back the following morning for breakfast.

Fantastic service, great atmosphere and superb value for money. We had the bottomless brunch and were never without a drink for the entire 2 hours. Staff were friendly and super attentive.

Great service from very nice and friendly staff (claudia) with lovely food and a light fun atmosphere

Amazing food and great live music! Perfect combo!

Nice food and service from Dalton and Ethan

Had a great night at the Penny, Nate’s service was immaculate and couldn’t recommend this place any more Top quality beer and staff 10/10

Went into the Penny for a few drinks and had a great night. Top quality service by Nathaniel and Dani Good priced beer and food will definitely be returning

Not eaten here yet. Staff are great including the doormen...

Came in last Friday and the pub was booming, great music on and perfect for footy. Only place in Canterbury that actually shows everything and doesn't charge entry. Most places charging entry and then 7 or 8 quid for a pint. Here it was free entry and all drinks were reasonably priced and good quality too. don't get the two together very often.

2nd time having the bottomless brunch. The staff are great and keeping you topped up and the food is tasty too

They asked me to walk all the way home and change because my trousers had too much paint on them It was raining like crazy >:[

Although we did not make a special trip to come here, we were in the area and decided to give it a try for lunch. This is a music and sports venue with an extensive list of events with TV screens everywhere you look- even in the garden at the tables. The pub was immaculate, very clean and all the tables were ready for the customers. Staff were very pleasant and there is a wide range of beers and drinks for all. The food is not gourmet cooking but served quickly, hot and tasty enough. After we left, we said we will come back for one of the events (although the website link and Facebook did not look upto date on the sites I checked).

Lovely place, great atmosphere especially on weekends, love their student nights too with cheap drinks!

Visit here frequently, always have a great time. Staff are lovely and polite, food is delicious too would highly recommend!

This is a great place. That guy Nate who works at the penny is always great with customers and I'll be back.

That guy who works at the Penny was really great

Great food and great prices. Addicted to Lilley's mango cider. Only thing that lets it down unfortunately is the fairly grumpy staff on every occasion we've been.

The new menu is great and the staff are really friendly! Would definitely recommend for a bottomless brunch! 10/10.

Had the bottomless brunch with prosecco. Good VFM as you get food & drink for 2 hours. Done one before in Hard Rock Cafe in London which I thought was slightly better than this one. £25.00 each is reasonable to wine and dine in a city I think. Recommended.

Molly was brilliant - constant attendance and really helpful!

They have just released a new menu and the new food is so much nicer!! There’s so much to choose from, very happy with my experience

Probably one of the worst places for bottomless hardly ever came round to take drinks we had the guy with glasses normally we have Ellie and she is amazing but the guy was so rude and gave massive attitude. Okay for a social drink but much better bottomless options in the city

Drinks prices suprisingly good for the local area, the live music was fantastic! The pubs a tardis with big back garden. Service friendly and quick too!

All ok but has become expensive

Had the best bottomless brunch. Staff were amazing and so helpful. Drinks and food were really good. Would definitely go back again.

Beware! The male bouncer will attempt to steal your phone when your back in turned. Luckily members of the public witnessed this, and my phone was eventually returned. Completely ruined my meal and felt I had to leave immediately to protect my own saftey

Found the bottom of the bottomless brunch. 2 hour slot but waiting at least 50% or that time means you only get 1 hr in real time. Staff not particularly helpful/friendly. Had much better service back in December. Would not go back

Went for bottomless brunch today. What can I say, we were made to feel very welcome, the lovely young lady who served us was very attentive and made sure our glasses were never empty. We were asked about any allergies before we ordered and both chose the Melt burger with fries, it was really good and far better than we expected having read some of the reviews on here before we went. I would definitely recommend the brunch and am already planning to visit again very soon. The venue has a lovely vibe and was spotless. I couldn't fault it at all, extremely good value for money. Thank you for having us 😀

Great pub. Good food. Value for money. Great tribute bands. Love it! Safety is very important to me as I always bring my niece who is autistic and she loves it there too.

Always showing sports! Lots of seating areas! Darts and pool dependent on availability. Food options are good and price isn’t extreme.

Nice pub owned by stonegate no real ale but have bottled ale menu looks good

Good value and good food. Service was welcoming and quick.

First time here with some friends. It was a nice place with a good atmosphere. I didn't eat here but overall I had a nice time

We had a very good night Food and service was excellent The show outstanding

Lovely food came for fathers dad treat

Had a great lunch with a friend. We had the bottomless brunch wings. The wings were excellent with a lovely variety of sauces. We weren’t drinking alcohol but had a great choice of hot drinks and fruit juices etc. The service was outstanding and we were really well looked after. The two ladies working were so attentive and friendly. The only downside to the whole thing is that we were unable to leave a tip via a card payment which was shame because they really deserved it. No doubt we’ll be back another day. Thanks.

Booked Bottomless Brunch for a Hen Party of 17 people. Vickie was very helpful with the booking beforehand as we had a few non-drinkers and these guests were able to order from the main menu no problems. I emailed our pre-order beforehand which was not a requirement but definitely recommend doing for a bigger booking. Honestly, the BEST bottomless brunch I have ever been to. We all upgraded to the extra drinks option which was so worth it. Ellie was superb , came to the table taking a drinks order every 15-20 minutes!! 2 bottles of prosecco and flutes also served with our mains which was an included bonus! Such good value for money and everyone thoroughly enjoyed. The only negative - unfortunately one main meal was missed and only came out when other people's plates were being cleared away, the cost of this was taken off the bill after requesting this though. REMEMBER cash for a tip!!

Food was delicious! Fast service. Atmosphere was great! Had a problem within our setting for a friends birthday celebration. Was extremely hot with no air con or any air ventilation, we were offered outside seating area but there was not enough table space for our group. Didn't feel we were being looked after in a fair way. The security guard was very rude and had an attitude problem. But overall was a good night.

Excellent. Watching the cricket 🏏 ☺️
