We are not a ‘fancy pants’ establishment. Not in the least. We offer good quality, home-cooked, locally sourced (where possible) food. 90% of our menu is made on the premises. Certainly not ‘Pub Grub’ but not ‘Gastro Pub’ either. It’s good value for money. However, our standards are high, very high. Not only in the quality of the food that comes into and leaves the kitchen but also in the presentation, the delivery to the table and overall customer service. We’re definitely not ‘Silver Service’ either but all of our staff are attentive, smartly dressed and will always go that extra mile wherever they can. These are just some of the reasons we were awarded the Taste of the West GOLD award in 2019.
We are a dog friendly establishment, very dog friendly. However, please tell us at the time of booking so that we can place you in our Bar area , as opposed to our Restaurant.

    The food as always was lovely and the service friendly and efficient but we were served so promptly it felt like we were an inconvenience and then we got booted out after 90 min. I’m used to giving the table back after 2 hours but didnt expect to be told we had to leave so quickly. It soured the evening as it was for my friend’s 40th birthday meal. If you’re only going to allow 60-90min for dining then state that more clearly and we’ll dine elsewhere in future. We enjoyed Penn Mill as a social pub restaurant where you can chat rather than feeling like we’re at a restaurant that is relying on turnover. Probably won’t come back sadly if its turning into a turnover establishment :(

    The area we were sitting is quite dull and feels like you’re in the serving thoroughfare. Small vegan portions. Servers forgot about us after main course so didn’t bother with a dessert. Not impressed.

    Always a great venue to eat. Food is gorgeous, staff are wonderful and very attentive. One thing that does spoil it a little is the price of drinks. The atmosphere last night was a little disturbing with a few guys sat at the bar talking and swearing loudly. We just don’t expect this at Pen Mill, it’s more conducive to a pub on a lads night out.

Overall it was good value and we would definitely come again. Thank you Pen Mill Hotel for a very enjoyable evening

Really really impressed with the service in particular, cannot thank the young people who served us enough for their positive attitudes. Lucy and the team deserve some serious praise!! And compliments to the chef for the delicious dinner.
