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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

Popped into the Morrisons cafe, for a spot of lunch before travelling home. I selected the ultimate fish and chips, the picture showed a piece of fish that hung over the sides at both ends of the plate, with stacks of chips. My wife asked if I would like bread and butter as well, I replied no looking at the size of that fish it would just be pure greed, My wife ordered the smaller portion for herself. When it arrived my portion of fish sat comfortably on the plate not even touching the sides of it. The chips were a child's portion at best. My wife's was served up on what can only described as a side plate, and it didn't even fill that. Probably the last time I will consider thinking about popping in there, a shame as we are regularly in Penrith, I would say 4-5 days a month.

Really disappointing dinner. Starters at best mediocre and uninspired, presentation and dressing off point . Steak overcooked to the point of being grey and as tough as old boots, chips under seasoned. The one star is for the fact that waiting staff are pleasant. We are staying in the hotel, and had been looking forward to what sounded a promising menu. In reality, the meal was very poor- especially for a restaurant in a hotel of this calibre (and price category).

On a typical Lake District evening what are you looking for in a pub? This certainly hit the spot … a roaring log burner, a warm welcome with a mix of locals and visitors, good beer and excellent food - tasty, good quality and hearty portions. Travelling alone you always end up talking to those around you and they were similarly enjoying the beer and the food. It’s certainly dog friendly too with water bowls and towels to dry them when you arrive … before they hog the log burner. I gather this has been newly taken on by a family and I wish them well. Certainly I hope it thrives so I can return whenever I am breaking my journey at Shap - which is v convenient just off the M6.
