    They didn't seem to have our booking so we were told to sit anywhere. Tables were booked from 7pm but we knew we would be out of there by then. Bar service a bit slow as only one serving. Food choice was really good and priced reasonably. Didn't wait long for food and everyone enjoyed what they ordered. Vegan friend very happy with her meal and pudding.

    Very accommodating staff, some issues with the gluten free menu options, but staff worked hard to find a workable solution. Overall a good night out

    We went Saturday at 4.00 we got drinks served straight away. Carol asked what we wanted knowing we like the fish platter. No cod bites left so we could have extra fish cakes or prawns! There were four of us. I asked for a window table and sure enought the request was granted! The food took quite a while but we weren't in a hurry. We got more drinks. When the food arrived it was superb and they brought us a bowl of chips which were delicious home made! These were complimentary due to our wait! We will be back. Thankyou.

    We had a fantastic night at the Pennyweight listening to The Paul Skerritt band. There was a problem with the kitchen so the landlord rang me to explain and still offered to reserve a table for us at a later time so we could eat elsewhere. I later got another call to say the problem had been rectified and we weren't disappointed. The food was fantastic, well presented, great tasting and plentiful. Will we return?, yes we will.
