My good friend Geoff and I dropped into the pub today, being Thursday June 30th, for a, as in one (1), drink. We were fortunate enough to have Haley, perhaps like The Comet, as our server. Haley was a true professional....always kept in touch with...us....without being too over sales oriented .... if only all the servers for Food and Beverage were like Haley things would be so much better! Talking to a friend the other day we were saying, perhaps the only thing the USA, does well is service...More like Haley and we are in better hands....just saying....thanks. Will returnMore

Excellent, authentic English Pub in Oak Bay, Victoria. Great menu and excellent, friendly service. Highly recommend

We were encouraged to have lunch at The Penny Farthing and have the stuffed mini-Yorkshire appetizers. They did not disappoint! The hosts and servers were very friendly and attentive. A few doors down, go to the Rogers chocolate store and Ottavio's, an incredible Italian Bakers...& Deli. Be sure to get some gelato!More

Booked the Penny Lane room for a private function; 20 family and friends. Staff were very helpful and professional in organising it. Food was very good and service was excellent. Would definitely use this again.

hello my foodies, this is an excellent place to stop and connect with friends. They have little hidden tables with fire places and other corners with TVs and noise barriers so your guests can really get in to the game. This pub has also a...dining room area and private rooms for social gatherings. We were in the private room for a 36 wedding anniversary which held about 35 to 40 people if needed, we had around 30. The food was on a side table and was never empty, always hot, fresh vegetables and different plates added as the evening carried on. The waitress were never really seen as they kept the drinks coming on time and dishes removed quickly and quietly. This pub would be a fantastic place for the cycling team to visit on oakbay route. cheers may your next pub run be pleasant. MMore

The two for one fandc is hugely popularfand for good reason. Two quite large pieces of fish (almost enough to share for 2 oldsters) and a mount of very tasty chips. Prices have gone up since our last visit several years ago - the regular...fandc now $24 for 2 pieces - but not too surprising I guess. Lively atmosphere...everyone letting their hair doow after years of covid restriction. If this promotional offering is designed to get you back into the puc another time..;.they sure have my attention. (I had the shepherds pie which was a huge serving too)More

We were in the area. What a pleasant place for a very nice lunch. On this day fish & chips were the special. We ordered and enjoyed. Great service. Excellent meal.

My friend ordered the wings, which was a generous portion, and she said the flavour was perfect, but my burger was disappointing, despite the delicious bowl of fries it came with. I'll just say that I like my bun toasted. It felt like a mushy...mess. Taste was good overall. Service was friendly !More

Our Dentist is down the street and when that appointment is over you feel you need to reward yourself with something. Penny Farthing does it for me. I love this place. Service is excellent and the food is always exceptionally good. We've been with friends...and as a couple in the last month and will certainly return. Enjoy!More

My wife and I dined on November 5, 2021. We ordered the Onion Rings from the Happy Hour menu to start. They were delicious and the portion was generous. My wife dined on the Fish and Chips which also really delicious . I ordered the...Chicken Burger which was overcooked to the point of being burned., I am not sure why the cook even sent it out.! The server offered to make another one, but I requested the Shepherds Pie, it was just ok, not much in the way of lamb and root vegetables.More

We came in late in the lunch rush on a Saturday. There were quite a few people in the front section there just to have a drink and socialize, but we were hungry. The servers were all very friendly and customer focused, and the manager...came round the tables asking if all was OK. I had a cup of the soup - incredibly thick and filling. I also had the avocado and shrimp salad which was very good. My partner had a veggie burger which he declared excellent (I concur - I had a bite!). Eventually the unruly kids and their parents at a nearby table left and the noise subsided. It’s a roomy place with a few cosy nooks with booths that I’d love to try another time. And it’s worth going in just to see the genuine Penny Farthing displayed near the ceiling.More

This is a popular local pub that has the best atmosphere for meeting up with friends, having a drink, or comfort food meals. Charming interior, great vibe. They have been short-staffed due to the pandemic so expect a long wait time. It was almost 30...minutes to wait for a shepherd's pie, a soup and salmon burger on a Saturday at lunch time and the indoor dining area was quite empty. BUT the lovely outdoor patio with umbrellas and heaters on the street is always busy and something you can't reserve. Food is fine -- nothing spectacular but better with comfort foods. If you've got the time and enjoy the pub vibe, this is a great place to hang out and have a bite. Free street-parking.More
