The Penny Farthing Coffee Shop

I’ve ordered from Penny Farthing once before and had a jacket potato that was quite nice. On my second time, I ordered from their dedicated gluten free menu (I am gluten intolerant). The food was delivered and after about 10 minutes I received a call to say “we’re really sorry, the gluten free order you made hasn’t been cooked gluten free sorry”. Essentially they had poisoned me and the rest of my day was ruined due to allergic reactions. My bf phoned and requested a refund, which they did provide they blamed the error on a new member of staff; but this shouldn’t be an excuse when allergies are involved. Such a shame if you can’t 100% promise that you can cater to gluten free; do not offer it. I won’t be ordering again as the trust is gone unfortunately. Otherwise, nice little cafe just be aware if you have food intolerances that need catered for.

This is off the beaten track but is a proper cafe. The bacon muffin was tasty and the service was good considering the current problems.

I ordered from the Foodhub app, hoping to get a little something before I had to go to class. The staff gave me a call that the order would take another 20 mins since the internet was going on and off, which I didn’t mind, I wasn’t in a rush. She was so friendly when I went in to pick up my order. My friends and I enjoyed our lovely little lunch, I definitely would recommend this place! It’s so quaint. I will be stopping in again soon!!!!

Pop in for lunch at times and it’s a great place, staff are always friendly and food is all cooked fresh

Two couples had lunch in the penny farthing, the staff were really helpful and attentive, we all had different meals and all of us thoroughly enjoyed it, and the food is very fairly priced, definitely call again
