The Dog Beck in Eden

Quite a large historic building with pleasant friendly staff and quick table service. Nearby 3 hours of free parking at Sainsburys multi story carpark.

Lush food! In the pics shown was jalfrezi with rice and naan, chilli non carne with rice and tortilla chips and grilled chicken katsu curry with rice. Lovely food and even when it's busy they're really quick and you don't have to wait too long. We went here twice and will be going back when we are in the area.

I recently had the best breakfast experience at The Dog Beck. The food was excellent, and the staff was friendly and attentive, which really set the tone for a relaxed and enjoyable morning. The atmosphere was welcoming and cosy, making it the perfect spot to start my day. The menu offered a variety of breakfast options, and everything was served fresh and hot. The attention to detail was impressive, from perfectly cooked eggs to crispy bacon and fluffy pancakes. I could tell the staff took pride in both the food and the service they provided. Overall, I couldn’t have asked for a better breakfast outing. I’ll definitely be coming back, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for quality food, great ambience, and excellent service!

I was in here early so I guess the atmosphere picks up later

Just a load of barking and panting hahaha

Food was very good. Food came quickly. However, 2 portions of chicken wings didn't arrive and we were told they all came on the tray (with the chicken strips) after eventually explaining the situation properly we were refunded twice the amount for our troubles.

Good food, reasonably priced. Quick service 👍🏻

We popped in for a meal and a drink whilst we're were at a wedding. This place was nice inside and the food was really tasty.

Typical weatherspoons. Decent enough food, well priced.

The DOG Beck. The place that doesn’t allow DOGS. Make it make sense.

Cracking spoons love this place

Would have gave it 0 if I could... the worst pub in town 2 people behind bar on sat nite and waiting over 25 mins for a micro meal... Terrible serive shocking staff and place looks like a bomb has went off

Pleasantly surprised. A typical Wetherspoons, large with various different seating options. Great selection of drinks at reasonable prices. Clean, bright and friendly service and atmosphere.

Very friendly staff, large choice of beers. As it was Steak night Tuesday I ordered the steak with the honey glaze, and everything was cooked perfectly.

It's okay, it's what it says on the tin

Samuel the bar person was on point, knew exactly who was next in line. Totally aware of his surroundings. 10/10 he needs to be in charge of training bar staff in other locations. Excellent pub, well done to all of you.

Lovely pub very spacious and clean drinks and food very cheap . Staff very friendly and helpful

Good pub and good selection of beers

It's a Wetherspoons pub. The food is generally albeit a bit sparse on the chips. It's a bit like being on the moon there's no atmosphere except whoever you're with and as usual you have to work out which floor the loos are on and it's never the one you're on albeit I would normally use the disabled toilet but that was out of order so glad I didn't have a wheelchair with me. On the plus side, I do always have unlimited coffee/hot chocolate, but alas, that doesn't help when the toilet isn't where you want it to be, but hey it's cheap and cheerful that's what matters right. Always remember this is totally my opinion other opinions are available.

Very good venue with everything you could want. Unfortunately the beer I wanted Abbot was not available the two nights we called in.

Have been going here for some weeks now and up until last Monday night we were very pleased with both the food and the service. Would even say it was 5 star for the sheer value for money and excellent food. We have not been on a Monday before however and whoever was working that night as a chef needs to find another job. Our fish was battered beyond all recognition, with the thinnest strip of fish inside. It was barely edible. Easily the worst fish and chips I’ve ever had. And it’s supposedly “freshly battered”. My wife’s gravy for her steak was literally stone cold. The waitress who served us just wasn’t interested at all. Where we are normally asked how our food was, surprise surprise one asked us this night. Will try again but not on a Monday in case we get the same “chef”. Be warned, it’s a lottery what food you get here now.

Nice staff quick with the meal we had and cheaper than the Witherspoon's in Keswick where we live

Ok brill weatherspoon cheap & cheerful

Didn't quite make 5 star but didn't disappoint either, one or two things needed an update like the tatty menus but pretty decent meal and tidy real ales at 1.99 can't be beaten for value.

Great quality food at a very reasonable price

I came to the dog beck after seeing reviews that you could sit in the beer garden with a well-behaved dog on the lead, I had my well-behaved dog and sat in the front patio area out of the way and ordered a pint of cherry coke and a traditional breakfast, my drink was brought out and immediately I was asked to leave to which I said why the waitress said no dogs allowed so I replied I thought they were the review said you could and ive paid for a breakfast to which she said I'll go cancel your breakfast and you have to leave and try get a refund. I found this disgusting and didn't see any signs for no dogs. They could have said well just eat your food, and you'll have to leave, and our policy is no dogs, but I found her rude. If you have a dog, be sure not to take it there. Disappointed. So after this happened I then got an apology from the dog beck and also recieved a wetherspoons gift card, so I must say despite what happened they dealt with me fairly, but I must add you cannot take dogs.

Lovely interior and great value

Brilliant had a great meal in a lovely atmosphere

Good spoons with a decent atmosphere. Very well priced for the lakes we visit regularly when visiting family.

Just visited Penrith weathespoons just meet a lovely lady called jenny she was so helpful and ovs very under staffed she was a absolute star hats of to her we’ll return just to see her 💖

We were passing through and decided to pop in for some lunch. The chicken was very tender, probably better than a nandos chicken. Kids spag bol was on point and the beer was cold and refreshing

Convenient, cheap, local, ample seating space and quick service. You can never go wrong with a Wetherspoons. Availability of bar service or table service using the app.

Visiting Penrith and stumbled on this place while looking for a place have dinner. We were not sure what to expect, but it was a brilliant experience. The waiter who greeted us quickly realised we were newcomers to JD Witherspoon and explained how to order. The food arrived very quickly, and did not disappoint. All in all a great eat experience - food, service, authentic “pub” atmosphere and value for money.

Had a lovely meal for 7 people which came to less than £60. Food was good, and kids enjoyed the pub quiz that was going on around us.

We visit every time we stay in pooley bridge Great bar and lovely food

Needing quick food for a large group with varied tastes. Knew what to expect with a Wetherspoons so headed there. It had obviously been busy earlier as there were a few empty glasses on tables. The order was processed quickly and brought to our table by a lovely, cheerful man (Pete, I believe was his name). He was the only server covering the entire pub and seemed a bit stressed but he was professional, courteous and keen to serve us well. The girl manning the bar (Shannon) was lovely too. One beer we ordered wasn't available so she had to come to inform us and ask what else we'd like. The minor issue was sorted quickly, efficiently and in a friendly manner. Great staff. Ok food - environment as expected.

Went here for food last night and the choice was burger or pizza! We opted for a burger and the bun was tiny and there was fifteen chips on the plate. Locals recognise this Wetherspoons as the worst in the country and it certainly lives down to this accolade. With so many eateries in Penrith, my advice is to avoid this awful place. Our local Weatherspoon’s in Crosby is 100% better than this place.

Typical wetherspoons - nice and well priced.

It’s good value food and drink you can’t argue with that, but tonight despite not being over busy the staff seemed so inefficient. No plates while we were there were cleared, no tables cleaned. Why can’t they take empty plates away on their way back from delivering food?. Saw so many issues at other tables, wrong orders etc.

Always welcoming. On this occasion we had dinner but other times I've enjoyed breakfasts and lunches here, lots of choice, good vegetarian options as well. Spacious pub with different areas, little compartments downstairs, outside area at front and an outside upstairs too. I like sitting downstairs in the bay window. Disabled toilet available and flat entrance to pub. Quick and helpful service.

All the staff were friendly and welcoming. A good range of real ales on draught. The food menu is standard for a Spoons but is really well prepared. The jacket potato particularly.

Service was terrible. How can it take over 20 mins to bring 2 drinks to a table and when they finally come there is no acknowledgement from staff members. Been in here twice now and both times it was incredibly poor both service and cleanliness. Won't be giving it another chance. Staff don't seem to care, when I went to the bar to ask about drinks two of them seemed to be ducked behind the bar playing rock paper scissors and fist bumping each other. Embarrassing establishment.

Has to be the worst wetherspoons in the country! On a not busy Saturday evening, more staff are stood around chatting to each than ones who are actually working. 20+ minute wait for a drink while the staff play games together behind the bar instead of serving, appaling service - the same if you order on the app or at the bar. Twice we've been here now & has been the same on both occasions, won't be returning.

Only the asking the food at the bar ruins the experience. Until now all the staff is very helpful and friendly Thanks

Yet again excellent food, friendly professional staff Nothing is too much trouble . In my opinion the best Wetherspoons in Cumbria

Very friendly and helpful staff.

Went here for a meal with my dad thd fish and chips was amazing cooked perfect 15 minutes wait not long at all great price cheaper than any chip shop and tastes better

Don't judge it from the outside - very spacious inside. A/C made the place very warm which was overpowering for us let alone the busy staff. Exactly what it said on the tin but with a bit more flexibility than Wetherspoons usually have on offer. Exceptional value for money as always but particularly nicer than usual apart from the temperature!

Converted house into a pub by Whether spoons.Looks a bit run down on the outside. I had a decent plate of fish and chips. Service was excellent all condiments to hand quite busy but plenty of space and no noisy TVs or music. Very nice British pub Named after a local natural river feature

Staff are terrible. Joking great pub and amazing staff. £2.69 for a pint of Carling. 😀

Wasn't happy we come breakfast and there was no sugar a place like this should never run out of anything

The food was great and the service was excellent and a big shout out to Molly who served us she went above and beyond and it was really appreciated, for that reason alone, would visit again

We stopped off for breakfast here.. it was lovely, staff very friendly and service was quick.. £5.95 , well worth the money..👍😋😋

A huge place. Was passing by on a visit elsewhere and we needed a quick and easy lunch. Good atmosphere. Clean and tidy.

What can I say, it's a Spoons. You get what you pay for, no surprises, no complaints.

One of the better wetherspoons. Well maintained and not run down like many.

A great place to eat out on a budget. The staff were also very friendly.

Brilliant clean good food at the right price and refreshing change from being let down by so called gastro pubs

Waitress Dani served myself and my grandson Arthur. She went above and beyond to make sure our visit was comfortable. The food was delicious, and Arthur ate all his scampi. Drinks service was also outstanding. Well done all.

Well, well, well... They have really upped their game. Used to be poor food and terrible service. Have been several times recently and its all been excellent! Finally! We will continue to go and enjoy as long as they keep it up!

It's a Wetherspoons & does what it says on the tin. Pleasant roomy pub. Will call again

My only criticism with this pub is there are not enough staff behind the bar (my opinion of course), otherwise it's a great place and what you come to expect from Wetherspoon's. The cask ales are outstanding and at fantastic prices. Food was good, well priced and enjoyable.

Nice clean establishment, Really nice breakfast, staff seamed happy and friendly

Nice place, shame it took 45 mins for our food to be served considering it wasn't that busy

Probably the nicest Wetherspoons I've visited

Didn't eat but a proper old fashioned pub. Great place and plenty of atmosphere

Smart, cosy pub. Nice atmosphere. No Doombar unfortunately.

Great service. Friendly staff. Nice place

Very reasonably priced food and drinks. Staff were friendly. Pizza as usual, was lovely. Probably one of the best pizzas I've had.

Brilliant staff in this place . Make u feel so welcome

Nice breakfast good taste good value and the service was excellent

Ordered a steak med to well done arrived med to rare, with a potato n butter and nothing else ! Service was the best part of the visit..Atmosphere was warm and comfortable ..Not my best Wetherspoons meal they seem to be cutting corners with their steak meals to keep the price down, and are now charging for extras that were once a given !

Nice Wetherspoon's. Good food & service.

Breakfast was lovely and far cheaper than other wetherspoons we have visited. We had a problem ordering with the app and it took a while to sort out, but it was fine eventually. Only one coffee machine working so quite a long queue.

Quick service and excellent choice of drinks.

We've been here many times, and we've always had a good experience, people here work very hard! Thank you guys!

Great for a quick and cheap breakfast whilst passing through penrith towards lake district for a day on the fells, free parking nearby in Sainsbury's carpark, quick service

It's fine. Nothing special, nothing awful. Just ok.

Good atmosphere. Terrible food. Steak (medium) cooked so badly it had a crust

Great place, right behind the zpremier Inn where we were staying. Great atmosphere. Only downer was the trek to the bogs which were up stairs.

We called in here for breakfast. The place was very clean and tidy, staff were all friendly and polite. We had breakfast muffins and refillable tea and coffee. Food was great, cooked perfectly, and the price was excellent. Will definitely return!

Popped in this morning for a breakfast item and was served by Kate just a young lass very polite a real credit How nice to see a smile and great attitude

The portion size was tiny....was very surprised as have the same meal at other wetherspoons quite often...was left very hungry...a shame..

Not dog friendly as advertised disappointing

A short walk from the railway station brought me here - an impressive wetherspoons. I had a very good breakfast and a Japanese beer for under £10. Food cooked to the right temperature and service was swift and efficient. It might be difficult to beat this one in Cumbria.

Great night out,very helpful staff. Great choice of beers.

Ok for a cheap dinner time meal while shopping

Got to Penrith 2 hours early work work so popped in for Breakfast and a coffee. Staff couldn't have been nicer. Place was clean and warm, food was excellent and when I went up for a coffee refill I was reminded that it was free refils. Would recommend.

Food. Amazing staff amazing and friendly can't see why locals don't use it more

Food sitting on side and cold. Only one girl serving the other chatting

Its a good and cheap place to eat in the lakes. Food was fast and was very nice. Only downside was there was a lot of noise and quite a lot of people drinking around us when we were eating. Maybe should consider having a drinking part and restaurant eating only section. Especially when you have children with you. But all in all was good tasty food. I would visit again. Just make sure I'm not near a drinking party.

This is an Enormo-Spoons which unfortunately must have contributed to the demise of many other pubs in Penrith. Saying that, service was spot on, so too my pint 👍🏻

Lovely pub food was hot and tasty. Good value.

Bog standard spoons, always reliable!

Yes, a spoons...but lots of real ale and cheap prices and good food again great prices. Can't really complain!

Shocking service at the bar waited 15 mins still did not get served so left and went else where

A nice JD Wetherspoon pub directly behind the Premier Inn. The food was spot on and the staff were very helpful and friendly. The prices were also very reasonable indeed. Thank you! ☆☆☆☆

Didn't have food this time but there were lots of families eating service was good staff very helpful 👍 will call in again next time I'm down.

To all the lovely staff at the dog beck. We always look forward to coming back. The food is is fantastic. Definitely be back again soon! Love Heather and Philip x

Very good Spoons. Good location and top quality, fast service (I ordered from the app). Could possibly do with a couple more tables downstairs.
