Usually go here every spring when in Vic. Disappointing this year. Turkey Pot pie was gross, full of skin and gristle and cranberry sauce pasted all over. Probably will not be back

Great ambiance, SLOW service. The place was almost empty and I waited over an hour for an over priced mediocre lunch.

Had a great experience today. Our server Ellie was great. Food was executed to perfection. Mini Yorkies and Fish and Chips with a couple Hoyne Pilsners absolutely hit the spot.

The most traditional English pub I have been to in Canada. It is a pillar in the Oak Bay community.

Went twice in one day. Had a chowder and later the meatloaf. Local hazy pale. Good to see a good crowd in at dinner.

Baked brie was delicious! But the sandwich melt was just ok. Service was great! Our server was kind and attentive. The drinks came out quick! Lucky to have come during trivia. Nice, playful evening.

To me the Penny Farthing is more than a place to eat and drink, it's an experience. It's extremely popular which adds to the ambiance. We stop there at least once every time we're in Victoria. I like the turkey pot pie and my wife likes the Buddha bowl. Today she had chicken tikka Marsala and liked it a lot. The clam chowder was outstanding. My meatloaf was, to me, a little unusual. It was firm and dry. I asked for more gravy and that helped a little. Our server, Janice, was a delight.
