Porcupine Pantry - Carte

Stopped by today while out walking. The food was excellent, we visit many similar tea/coffee shops and I can honestly say the food we had today was the best of this type we have had.

This cafe is a lovely spot but the snacks are very pricey to the average people of penshurst ! And the toilets are dirty , these should be spotless ! They need to be checked every hour

Lovely cafe set in beautiful Penshurst Place and lovely staff. Good Covid preparations. Highly recommend. Very popular with dog walkers and cyclists. Please consider getting an outside tap for the cyclists. Voir le carte

As we were visiting Penshurst we stopped for coffee which was a bit weak but the cakes looked delicious, so I had the GF carrot cake v. nice. Staff are v. friendly. Drove down the B2179 to get here and the views were magnificent.

This is to expensive the food all looks nice but it’s not that nice I paid £4 for 1 sausage roll!!! do specials cut the price for people who live in Penshurst and are not wealthy!!! If you live there you should get a discount anyway!!

The pantry is ideal for a quick snack, with tasty sausage or bacon baguettes on the menu. Food was tasty and generous portions were provided. Coffee was freshly brewed and of good overall quality. Staff were polite, friendly and efficient. Voir le carte

Stopped by 12/9/20 as we normally do after a walk on Saturday morning (9.30am). Very disappointing the coffee was just froth lacking milk! The cake portions are very small for what you pay. There was no sanitizing hand wash outside despite a sign reminding you to clean your hands. Looked like new staff on as not ones I've normally seen. The person in charge looked scruffy and wearing no apron like the rest of the staff, seemed to spend more time outside having a smoke! Standards seemed to have slipped.

Sadly this place is a bit dirty. Have been coming here for many years. Dust and dried food under the benches. Dirty marks and drink stains on the walls. Napkin dispenser on my table dirty and marked with spilled drinks. My panini and my partners were black on the bottom. Probably the heating device not cleaned properly. Dogs barking and shaking themselves scattering hair into the air. One big dog sniffing the food on display at the counter. What a shame. No complaints about the staff though. Polite efficient and helpful.

We were invited for a cream tea last week by dear friends at the Prestigious Penshurst Place... what a disappointment. Coffee in the cafe was served in paper cups filled to the brim despite asking for cold milk, which was 'forgotten ' then delivered in a mini paper cup , two tasteless lumps of scones with jam and cream in glass jars.. no butter and 'presented ' in a cardboard box.. Served by polite ladies in dishevelled tee shirts... and the final insult charged £32.00, totally unacceptable. I wrote before posting this but no reply, so it would appear acceptable in this venue. What a contrast with Knole Park, cups, delicious scones and superb service... be warned before booking. JAO Voir le carte
