The Penguin in Plymouth

Have just been here with my daughter, and what a lovely place to visit, the people have now been running the penguin for 2 years, so pop in and say hello and have a pint of Korev, and a corrnation chicken salad roll, either with chips and or ready salted crisps, really nice setting with a great family friendly feel.

For beer it's great. The food is below par. Pizza tasted like £1 frozen pizza from Asda and the burgers are not great. Found the owner to be very rude too. Compared to the Tamar in Crownhill for example it's night and day. Hopefully they sort this.

We went for a meal Friday, the food was not what we expected, the steak and ale pie had peas inside it, we asked for no vegetables, not knowing they were inside the pie, my meal was put on the hot plate, I watched the cook pick my steak up from the plate and carry it off in his hand, I didn't complain at the time because the bar person was lovely and it was embarrassing.

We had a wake here Friday, everything was perfect. They let us decorate exactly as wanted, they did a huge buffet and food was incredible. All the staff were amazing and the new owners are so fantastic. Covid-19 safe and I can't recommend enough, so happy and welcoming, 150% recommend to everyone!!! They did lots of little extras and always went above and beyond no matter what! This is my local too and I always feel comfortable coming in alone for a quick pint, everyone is always fantastic. They alow children and dogs so it's always the perfect place to pop in.

Very disappointed and very over priced! Roast looked nothing like it did in the pictures, In fact I had hair in my turnip! Nothing offered as an apology! Charged £9 for a kids meal!!! Drink not included. Beef was very dry in fact the whole meal was disgusting. When we paid for our meal and the lady asked how was it, other than hair in the food…… i replied! Awful. No apology she just said she would let the kitchen know! Will not be returning!

Generally the Penguin is a lovely, friendly pub with a great atmosphere and I go there regularly for that reason. I decided to host my works Christmas party here this year and it was absolutely fantastic! We were given the entire restaurant area for our party and the staff went above and beyond with amazing decoration and delicious food! They spent hours getting everything ready and with all the little special touches it looked so fancy, especially when they came around with canapés and welcome drinks. Everyone at work was super impressed and my boss said it was the best party we've had! I honestly can't recommend this place enough... If you want a party with a great space, friendly, professional staff and amazing food, this is the place you need. Thank you Dan, Beth, Chris, Danielle, Amy and everyone else in the team!

Nice pub, lovely staff. Pool table what more do you need

Disappointed this is my local. Basing this review and opinion on a roast meal for three costing £43.00.I genuinely tried to see the positive in the meal, which would have been the friendly enough staff.Our meals were cold, odly presented, and generally poor. The veg was mushy and watery; the potatoes were fatty and reheated. Advertised chicken breast but received what appeared to be a boiled leg. The gravy was also lacking.I put this down to the time of day perhaps 1700, and possibly caught the ends of the food served before an evening menu.Despite being on our door step, I wouldn't return until they have mix up with the chef, or menu.PANTS

Went here for my mother's wake, the staff were extremely professional and friendly..the buffet was excellent. We're definitely going to visit it under better circumstances, couldn't fault it in the slightest. There's also a dog friendly outside beer garden, thank you to the proprietors for helping to make a sad day tolerable x

A lovely Friday evening was spent here, staff very friendly and atmosphere nice. Quite quiet for 6pm certainly was not full. Choose where to sit as there was plenty of choice. Looks like there is a limited menu in place not a great deal of choice but overall for the price and quality we were all very satisfied with the meal. Drinks are on the steeper side but this is a family run business and not a chain.If your looking for a chilled evening out with good quality pub food then this is certainly worth a visit.
