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.

Lots of really lovely vegan dishes, including a delicious chocolate tart! Thank you, will definitely be back.

Lovely menu with wide choice of food & drink. Food well cooked, tasty & well presented. Friendly service & relaxed atmosphere. Would definitely consider a return visit!

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

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. 😃

The food and service was amazing. If you're in the area, don't miss out

I went with my mum as a treat for us both. I knew she’d appreciate the menu and she did - and I did. We took my patterdale terrier who sat quietly watching us enjoy every course. The wine advice was spot on, even with a sample to taste before we selected. Mum had the cheese soufflé, lamb and hogget finished off with crème brûlée that was crisp on top and beautifully smooth underneath. I had scallops and black pudding - I’d not had either before and thoroughly enjoyed them, next it was the venison suet pudding - delicious but I wasn’t so sure about the beetroot done in duck fat - the duck fat was too much for me but that’s my choice. Finished with dark chocolate soufflé and sauce with cherry crème fraiche ice cream. £69 for 3 courses each was amazing value for such good food, service and ambience. This is a pub that has a Michelin star. It’s not fine dining, it’s a pub. But what a pub.

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
