About This Place

Nestled within the picturesque setting of Beck Evans Farm in Sidcup, Penelope's Restaurant & Farm Shop offers an irresistible country dining experience that masterfully blends rustic charm with contemporary flavors. Specializing in hearty English country cuisine paired with a touch of French flair, this restaurant is a true haven for food lovers seeking both comfort and creativity on their plates.

The moment you step inside, you're greeted by a welcoming, warm atmosphere where seasonal decorations enhance the farm-to-table ethos. Whether you're arriving for a leisurely breakfast or a relaxed lunch, Penelope’s delivers a menu brimming with crowd-pleasers and delicious surprises. Start your day with their generous English Breakfast or indulge in the fluffy, golden French Toast, both perfect fuel for exploring the sprawling 25-acre farm grounds. As midday rolls in, the restaurant shines with its craft of freshly handmade pizzas—richly topped and bubbling with cheeses—and hearty mains like the succulent Roast Beef or the delightfully satisfying Smithfield Burger, served alongside crispy golden chips.

Dessert lovers will find themselves spoiled for choice. The Birthday Chocolate Brownie is a decadent, moist treat that melts in your mouth, while the silky, delicate panna cotta offers an elegant contrast that rounds out the meal beautifully. Paired with a smooth latte or a vibrant cocktail—perhaps an Aperol Spritz to toast a sunny afternoon or a rich Espresso Martini as the sun sets—each bite and sip feels like a celebration in itself.

Penelope’s is more than just a restaurant; it’s a vibrant hub where culinary delights meet genuine hospitality. Guests frequently praise the attentive and friendly staff, with one diner recalling the seamless service even during busy hours after a family day out. The live music nights and special events add an exciting buzz, turning casual meals into memorable celebrations filled with laughter, dancing, and joyful connection.

With free parking and accessible location just an hour from Central London, Penelope’s invites you to make a day—or even a weekend—of it. Visitors can explore the farm, enjoy fun family activities, and even camp on-site, making it an ideal countryside escape. The venue also offers bespoke event hire for celebrations ranging from birthday parties and baby showers to corporate functions, where the team’s enthusiasm ensures every detail is handled with care.

Whether you’re craving a cozy brunch, a playful dinner out with the kids, or a special evening accompanied by live music and expertly crafted cocktails, Penelope’s Restaurant & Farm Shop promises an authentic taste of country hospitality wrapped in the freshest, most soulful flavors.

    I came to Penelope’s for lunch with my partner and two friends on Thursday afternoon. The food was absolutely phenomenal and the restaurant was beautifully decorated for Christmas, the location of the restaurant is stunning with lovely views all around. It’s definitely a hidden gem in the community, if you haven’t checked it out yet you definitely should. To eat we had a few items off the lunch menu which they serve between 12.30-4pm, my friends had a cheese and bean jacket potato and a chilli jacket potato both came with a side salad and they were delightful, the potato was lovely and soft inside and the fillings were loaded! My partner had a fish finger sandwich and I had an amazing falafel, hummus wrap which had roasted red peppers inside, the falafel was delicious I will definitely return for that alone. We also tried from the festive drinks menu an orange hot chocolate which was really delicious and looked beautiful too! We all cleaned our plates and left very full and satisfied, we will definitely be returning especially with all the exciting things they have going on over the Christmas period, the staff recommended us to check out their instagram to see their upcoming events and we’ll definitely come to bring the kids to meet Santa in their Christmas grotto!! If you haven’t been down to Penelope’s I’d recommend popping down, we’ll be trying their pizza next as that looks unreal too!!

    We booked for Lunch on Sunday after a day of pumpkin picking (which was awesome) and time on the fun fair with the kids. They were really busy but found us a table for our time (3.30pm) and the staff were the best I have ever had here. They are really working on the service so well done! My wife and I had the roast which is AWESOME, and the kids had burgers and pizzas. Pizza has a lot of cheese, but who doesn't like that haha. Service was great, we had Bertie and also a blonde woman. Both superb.

Service was fantastic, plenty of attentive staff, music was brilliant excellent performer, food was great fresh tasty pizzas and my seabream was in the most delicious brown caper butter. Had so much fun singing along and dancing. Restaurant manager Sue was a diamond, really welcoming, on the ball and down to earth. Great night, will be back

    Attended around 10am on a Saturday morning for breakfast. I do advise to book as it’s busy with the post park run crowd. Friendly service, staff seem very busy, took a while to order, food was delivered quickly, nice and hot, very generous portions. Took a long while to get the bill after asking a couple of times, but we were in no rush, advise you to have a leisurely visit. Would definitely return.
