The best restaurants in Penrith West Eden North West

As soon as we walked into this pub, we knew it was going to be good. A small, community run pub with 2 roaring log burners and a warm welcome! I ordered one of the cocktails, the berry one and it was delicious and my partner ordered the alpaca lypse and they let him keep the glass it came in. We then ordered our mains and both had the pie; it didn't disappoint. There was so much meat and the gravy was lovely. Pudding was also amazing; two big portions of syrup sponge and chocolate fudge cake. When we are back in the lakes, we will definitely be back!

l sampled the dish of the day, a risotto style pilau dish, it was well presented and absolutely delicious. l then shared a dessert which was equally scrumptious. l strongly recommend this place.

Very good takeaway coffee. On our way into the Penrith Museum we passed this coffee ‘van’. The Museum didn’t mind us taking our drinks in as we looked around. A perfect pick-me up on a wet morning!

My husband, daughter and I enjoyed an evening of pizza and chips surrounded by lovely flowers in a wonderful setting whilst drinking our wine. The owner and his wife were very friendly and we will definitely go again if there is another pop up pizza evening.

One of the best meals I have ever had, all of the food was rich and cooked to perfection. Despite it being a 3 course meal I left comfortably full rather than bursting at the seams. The atmosphere was lovely with good service and a comfortable feeling inside the place. I had the cheese souffle to start, the fillet steak for my main with peppercorn sauce and the dark chocolate creme brulee for dessert. Without a doubt some of the nicest food I have ever eaten, the meals were not cheap but very much worth the price. Visited on a Thursday evening, a last minute reservation was made but it is always best to phone ahead to confirm that they are still open as Wednesday and Thursday then are not particularly busy and may close early.

Great potato van Great Guy Very good location Plenty of choice for toppings Service with a smile too You can't beat a jacket spud

The best Spanish restaurant outside of Spain. A warm welcome from front of house staff , given time to look at menus . The specials , had scallops , mussels and pork loin dishes all well cooked by Roberto with quality ingredients. A little gem in Penrith. Good for couples , families and groups , you must book .

Been here before but very disappointed this time. Two of us ordered cheese scones, however the scones had been made with the addition of mustard which was overpowering and there was no taste of cheese. The waitress should have alerted us to this and if she had we would not have made this choice. As it was we only ate about a third of the scones.

What a wonderful find. Great service, food. Lovely atmosphere. They couldn't do enough to help you. The lovely bit was the pin board with vouchers. If you need a brew, for whatever reason, there is one there for you. Such a kind hearted gesture. Wishing you every success

Amazing baked goods can especially recommend the traditional pasty. It was that good I returned today to test another one 10/10. The cakes also taste better than they look and they look really good anyway. Sorry no pictures as I had eaten it all, every last crumb. 😃

Chose to visit whilst in the area, had good reviews & we got a table straight away. Varied menu and tried something different, which was great for both of us. Highly recommended.

Party of 7. Unfortunately we Arrived too early (35 mins to be precise as we had travelled up from Cheshire), only one table came in the same time as us. No other tables occupied. Place was empty, So didn’t see it as a problem Was told we would have to wait and appreciated that we could sit at the table designated for us and have a drink, Whilst they served the other table who came in at the same table as they were first. Totally understandable. An hour and 10 mins later (30 mins after our reservation time) we still were waiting to be allowed to order our food and had not been given any of the starting bread, even though the only table in had had there pre nibbles then starter and were onto the start of their mains. We got frustrated as the place was empty, this simply isn’t Michelin service. Couldn’t even comment on food as was not allowed to order until the right time which never came. Service was terrible. We left and definitely would not go back or recommend. This business will certainly lose money if they can only serve one table at a time. If that’s their policy then I would suggest making it a one table restaurant.

We have been going to this lovely cafe for many years as it has a great atmosphere. The food is good and well priced with good sized portions all served with a smile and chat even when busy. You can tell a good cafe when they get so much repeat business.

Home cooked food, always piping hot and fresh.if shopping in Penrith we always eat here and have never been disappointed, it’s not high end but good basic and tasty food. The staff will go out of their way to accommodate requests and substitute items if available.

Service much better than 2 of the other places we tried. Very good food and amount for cost. Would have liked my baked potato hotter but still good. Def going back
