Foundry 34

Had a pleasant stay. The staff are helpful and it is right next to the town centre.

This is a nice restaurant with good food, however, this one of those restaurants that give you a set time to eat. Don't go too early as they do not have seats at their bar and don't know what to do with you whilst you wait. It is popular with the locals and is worth a visit. I can't comment on it's status as a hotel as we didn't stay there.

It was my wife and and I wedding anniversary, so we took a short break to Penrith. We booked the Foundry via booking.com. All of the information pre-visit was spot on, so when we arrived, it was easy to find, plus the local car park advice was very good. The staff were superb for our 2 night stay. Very kind and helpful throughout. We had dinner in the hotel on our first night and again it was very nice. Lovely food, well cooked and served. I ate too much, that that was down to me! The room was very well appointed, and well prepared, great shower and facilities. The hotel is close to the town centre which is very nice to walk around, with much to see and do. We did a lot of walking and drove to a few local places of interest that we had planned to visit. Overall, we had a lovely time and would like to thank the team for helping make it so. We would thoroughly recommend

The food was absolutely beautiful and what a plate full you get too. Amazing place

Just had the best Sunday dinner I've had for a long time , 3 courses , all stunning. Absolutely lovely

Recently had a meal at Foundry 34 with my family. Delicious food, great service even though it was busy and the staff are so lovely. Definitely recommend eating here but best to book

Having eaten out around Penrith town centre over the last four months, Foundry 34 was one we were keen to tick off our list. How we haven’t eaten here before, I honestly don’t know. The food was excellent and cooked very well—especially the steak, which was perfectly medium, exactly as requested (rarely done right!). The draft cider and Prosecco were excellent and served in perfectly clean glasses. The cutlery was spotless too, with no stickiness on the table—important factors for someone like me with OCD. We had two main courses, two puddings, Prosecco, cider, and after-meal coffees for literally £62. Outstanding value, and clearly one of the reasons this place gets so busy. The ambiance was relaxed and pleasant. Even sitting beneath a speaker, the music level was just right. Overall, my score would have been 10/10 had it not been for the change of server midway through our meal. Our initial server, although polite, felt a little sullen and lacking in energy. Shortly after being shown to our table, I found myself at the bar ordering drinks rather than being asked if we would like any—a service that was offered later once the server changed. Being the only diners in the restaurant at that moment, it felt almost as though our arrival for our pre-booked table was an inconvenience. This created an initial atmosphere that took a while to shake off, and it was noticeable enough for us both to comment on at the time (between ourselves). Thankfully, our replacement server was excellent—warm, attentive, and genuinely caring in his approach. His manner went a very long way in lifting the overall experience for us. We all have bad days, but having worked in retail for over 30 years, I learned very quickly to leave personal baggage at the door. Perhaps there's a lesson in that here, which is why I felt it was important to take the time to leave this feedback. That said, the food and overall setting were superb, and we would happily return.

Foundry 34 is a restaurant with accommodation. The rooms are clean and have everything you would need for a short break. Breakfast was lovely. The restaurant/bar is a nice space and the food was lovely. The staff were very efficient and friendly, especially Owen who was a lovely lad. Very friendly and efficient, couldn’t do enough for us. A real asset to the owners. We were there for New Year to catch up with cousins from Liverpool - halfway for both of us as we live in Edinburgh. We really enjoyed our stay at Foundry 34.
