Great service

Great communication with the team beforehand answering all our questions. All allergies and dietary needs accomodated, all food being gluten free was excellent. On the day...arrived on time, service efficient, spotlessly clean, friendly team. A great idea for our daughter's wedding. Guests enjoyed the food with lots of positive comments. I would highly recommend Penaluna

Amazing Fish and Chips

I can't recommend Penaluna's Fish and Chips enough. John and Lee were quick to communicate and answer my many questions. They arrived on time for service and were extremely friendly. The food was amazing and they had spares despite us underordering in the first place. Our employees enjoyed the food and we would love to use Penaluna's again. Thank you!
