Great little restaurant in Oak Bay! Outdoor seating is lovely! Food is great and the service is always good! Look forward to visiting at least once or twice when we come to Victoria.

To say that Sam and his staff go above and beyond is an understatement! The atmosphere is lively, relaxed and welcoming, the food is warm, comforting delicious British pub faire and the Margaritas are excellent! The perfect place to unwind after a busy day with friends!

Excellent spot to grab a drink on the patio on a sunny day or to drop in for a great bite to eat. Great spot to bring kids too or have a large group. This week I dropped in for the Best French onion soup on the island.

Went here like 2 decades ago with my second ex-fiance way back in the day when we used to date, and this same person insisted to come here again (after this experience I was reminded why I didn't want to be with him all these years ago as he suggested me where to go and in the end ignored all my suggestions).The server was very nice and attentive but I felt so awful that despite the fact I knew exactly what I wanted to order and eat right away, the lousy accompaniment delayed ordering 3 times. The food was mid at best; I can't remember if the quality was like this all these decades ago. I normally love French onion soup but their bowl was ridiculously salty. The steak pie, well the steak pieces themselves was very well done like shoe leather, the sauce was quite greasy, and the greens were just arugula and nothing else. The wings I was looking forward to was very dry; after ingesting the third wing, I just want to pack the rest to go as I lost appetite finishing the rest at the premises. The only entrée I find satisfactory without complaints was the Yorkshire appetizer; otherwise none of the food is of value at all.The atmosphere itself was fine but I don't know what's wrong with my experience on my visit. We were placed in the brightest room which thankfully has an outlet to charge my device with near zero battery life but I guess it was the combination of coping with the lousy accompaniment's absolutely rude table manners (full elbows on the table and kicking on the table leg, deliberate loud mastication, honking nose blowing with his handkerchief directly at my food, excessively loud belching) and overhearing one person in the opposite table of 8 going off on a debate trying to convince his unenthusiastic party that Hitler is a good man and all the history books in the education system is biased was enough to ask the sweet server to quickly pack my wings and prep my half of the bill so I could leave stat. That one person goading about Fascism was the last thing I want to hear from a strained dining experience.It's cool coming to this restaurant on the day of the Oak Bay Tea Party parade was launched (was in the area earlier to watch my amazing daughters perform in their school's marching band) but otherwise nothing too notable for me to return as a repeat patron.

I went to Penny Farthing for my husband's birthday and had a great experience. Our server was friendly and attentive. He also scored bonus pionts for bringing my husband a complimentary birthday Ceasar. We both had the French Onion Soup and Chorizo Penne and thought both were great and reasonably priced. Since the French Onion Soup is quite rich, we could have shared one between the two of us.

This place has a traditional British pub vibe. Kind of dark, with somewhat old beer smell inside. Even tables feel a bit sticky like they weren't cleaned properly. And all of this gives kind of special charm to Penny Farthing.Customer service was awesome. Young ladies were quick, polite and very attentive to our requests. Drinks and food came rather quickly. It was a service with a big smile.Their West Coast chowder with smoked salmon was the best we ever tried. We were glad we decided to try this pub.

Fantastic atmosphere. The pub is beautiful, it was definitely a labor of love. The food is fantastic! Highly recommend it. It gets very busy on the weekends, so the service can get a bit slow, wouldn’t recommend if you’re in a rush. Great place to hang with friends and have a pint.
