Penrith is a town where we transfer to another train to travel to other cities, but we wanted to stop for a beer here. We walked from the train station, which wasn't too far. The place has a nice atmosphere, comfortable to sit in, and offers a good variety of beer. Penrith is a city where we took the train to travel to other cities.

Hint of nostalgia when we walked in as the floor was sticky....it didn't improve much from there on in. I ordered the 'cheese and tomato' quiche with chips.....it appears that the cheese was so disgusted with the raw pastry that it left th3 building as there was no taste whatsoever. The thin sliver of tomato was clearly embarrassed and lonely and the only thing that would have made the half a lettuce posing as a salad interesting, would have been a rabbit sitting on the plate to share it with me. The 'chips' seemed to be rejected roast potatoes? Very very dry and tasteless. My husband had the steak and ale pie and was delighted. Dont bother to visit if you don't eat meat

After not expecting much from a light lunch we were still very disappointed in what we received. We ordered a cheese and pickle sandwich and bacon, brie and cranberry baguette and two portions of chips. The sandwich looked like a child had made it and was very underwhelming with a limp salad thrown on the side with no dressing. After asking for the bacon on the baguette to be extra crispy it was almost as if this was offensive to them as it came basically raw. Again with a limp old salad on the side. The Chef “never saw the chips on the check” and arrived half way through the meal after reminding the waitress after she asked if we needed anything else. They turned up half cooked and covered in oil. We picked around the few actually cooked and left the rest. We felt sick walking out and all in paying almost £30 for this and two cokes we were extremely disappointed. There are lots of eateries around the town and there are much more to choose from so I would completely avoid this place. Just to add, there seemed to be a lot hilarity coming from the bar and kitchen area from staff and we gave up trying to get the attention of the waitress to complain so finished our cokes and left feeing to sick to even bother complaining in the end. Also, happy to see a casual uniform but hoodies and trainers just aren’t a good look when serving food and drinks.

We turned up early on a Friday evening and took almost the last table. Had a lovely special Sausage Casserole and a Quiche. All came quickly and piping hot. All the staff looked like they knew what they were doing. No loafers or grumpies, either. Then we made friends with two local characters, so we'll have to go back!m

The food is superb, some of the best pub food I've ever had, especially the curry which was a Chicken Balti. It was a proper thick dry sauce , 100% homemade, probably best curry I've had in a pub or restaurant, loads of big chunks of chicken ....mega!

We arrived here, having walked out of a nearby cafe in disgust . We were warmly welcomed, shown to a table and our drinks order was taken straight away. The place was warm and comfortable on a chilly day outside. The food, which was served piping hot arrived quickly. The portion sizes were enormous and the price very reasonable. As visitors to Penrith, I am glad we found the Board and Elbow, otherwise we would have left with a very bad impression of the town after our initial experience.

First time in Penrith and I couldn't make a better choice for a pub dinner. Friendly atmosphere, price/size ratio is superb, good selection of international beers. The bartender and waiting team are friendly and very quick with the service. As you'll see from the photos, the portions are big and plenty, a bountiful amount of food. Taste and quality seem to be at home for this chef. I like the interior particularly, some interesting mix of modern and old flooring and lighting. By far, if you come to Penrith this is a must.

From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed by the most cheerful staff, the atmosphere was very friendly and we found a great spot to sit with our 2 large dogs. The food was excellent and brought out quickly by obviously a dog lover who brought a few free dog treats. Summary is an excellent place to eat and drink very relaxing and dog friendly.

We had a couple of nights in Penrith & came here on both days. The first day was pouring down with rain & with no sign of stopping we headed into here for food & drink. We had our two dogs with us & they were welcomed in and allowed to sit anywhere in the pub. It’s a proper local pub with a nice friendly vibe & the staff are really friendly & engaging. We decided to eat but there was a 1 hour wait for food due to it been busy even though it was a Monday so they paused orders for food to let the kitchen catch up which seemed like a very sensible idea rather than continually taking orders & then having to wait ages. We were only waiting about 25 mins before we were then able to order food which then came very quickly. We had two of the platters to share & were really full after. We came back the following day after enjoying it so much & ate again, we both had the steak pie which was immense it was packed with steak & served with home made chips & peas extremely filling. The menu has a good selection of choices & is all home made & cooked fresh. Definitely worth popping in if you are in Penrith.
