What Luke doesn't like about Penleys Of Richmond:
Unfortunately, my experience at this restaurant was not great. I was taken aback by the sarcastic response I received when asking about the size of the fish. The server was rude and seemed bothered by our presence. We paid nearly £30 for two portions of fish and chips (one regular and one small) and were disappointed by the bland and boring taste. I expected more for the price. I would recommend avoiding this place. View all feedback. What Tina Ellis likes about Penleys Of Richmond:
This is second time we have had a meal here and we were not disappointed. We ordered the Yorkshire pudding filled with chicken, roast pots, veg and gravy. We like the fact that it wasn’t a huge meal. The service was very good, even though...they were clearly very busy…..good sign. We can definitely recommend and look forward to the next visit when we return to Richmond. View all feedback.

The perfect example of not judging a book by its cover. From outside it looks unassuming and the interior very very tired, in much need of a refresh BUT, I beli...
