We've been a few times to this Spoon's, and it's usually pretty good. Last night was a little different! The food was out quick enough but was a bit cold. The drinks didn't arrive until some of us had nearly finished our food. No one seemed to be clearing or cleaning tables as piles of use plates and glasses were on a lot of tables when we arrived.

Avoid! Recently in the area with our dog and thought we would grab a quick bite to eat. Knew we had to sit outside. Ordered the meal & when the drinks arrived we were told we needed to leave immediately as dogs weren’t allowed. The only pub in the lakes that doesn’t allow dogs. She then started to snatch our drinks away. Would never return!

Stayed at the Premier Inn for the night and this pub was literally next door. Called for a few drinks before and after a meal at a local Italian restaurant. A nice Wetherspoons and incredibly cheap beer. Excellent choice

One of the nicer Spoons around. The decor is tasteful and the space is comfy. Staff tend to be very friendly and chatty. The food is obviously quite average, but it's cheap and cheerful enough. If you want an inexpensive place to spend an evening, the Dog Beck is a good choice!

We stop here often as we travel to and from Carlisle. Last visit, the food looked sad. Admittedly only wraps and burgers but they looked sad. Burger was ok, although the top had slipped to the side and was just plonked on the plate. One of the wraps looked like it was sweating. The girls are rushed off their feet as usual. This visit things were better. Pizza's and a wrap. Can't go wrong. Still good value and a typical Wethers.

Possibly the worst JD we’ve been to in terms of wait times, 40 minutes for some lunch that was then cold when arrived. Poor one staff member the only one running bar and food. Wetherspoons usually served in 10 mins. Wanted a refund but staff said it’s difficult today.

We came to Penrith just after the pandemic and visited the Wetherspoons pub, The Dogs Beck. Nice little Wetherspoons pub then with great service and decent food and beers. We came back to Penrith and revisited The Dogs Beck pub and are absolutely shocked. The service is absolutely terrible. On our first night (Friday 29th November), we noticed tables left stacked with glasses and plates. The service at the bar was very slow, and the table ordering service was terrible. We waited over 15 minutes for drinks to be brought to the table. On Saturday 30th things were even worse. I waited over 15 minutes at the bar waiting to be acknowledged and then served. There was staff stacking glasses, filling ice box behind the bar, and wounds around, talking to each other when you could clearly see people waiting to be served. Only 2 staff members are working behind the bar and it's 18.30 on a Saturday night. The manager needs to look at their time management and their management style. Terrible service, terrible cleaning, and very, very poor customer care.

At the Cod Beck tonight & the service at the bar was terrible, stood 20mins at bar to get served. Last night we ordered by the app & still ended up waiting 20mins for drinks. They need to take ask Wetherspoons Winter Gardens Hexham how to run a decent service. At hexham they have plenty of staff with dedicated jobs that cover all tasks. In Penrith, they need to introduce some sort of system so that people get served in order, as I observed so many people getting served before people who had been stood there a lot longer. It could be such a lovely place if they get these things sorted.

Was in Dog Beck tonight. Lots of customers at bar but one staff member - Daisy. She worked tirelessly serving customers and, as it seens to take prioroty, making up 'app orders' she then had to deliver those to the table and return to serve an expanded customer base at the bar. I work at Sainsburys and if I had to work at that pressure I would have walked. Daisy deserves, at the very least, a bonus for that effort. She is a great employee.

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!

We go here often food is sometimes not very nice but most of the time its very nice and worth the money. The cleanliness is letting it down greatly the ladies toilets have obvious dust and stains that have been there more than one week. Its an important place to be clean as its a bad place to spread infections etc. The down stairs is passable The staff during the day are friendly and helpful Despite the uncleanliness Its a great place to meet friends and have a chat

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.

Wethersooons, what have you done? !! Called for a drink. This place has gone from fantastic to dreadful in a matter of only a few months. Queues at the bar because of no staff. Food being returned. Couldn't get a table that was clean. Staff clearly unhappy. A manager that was oblivious to the state of the place. Previous manager, Kate I believe, had the place running like clockwork. Can't see why I would return. What a shame.

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.

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.
