Percy Plunkett

Really enjoyed our time here on Sunday Brunch! It was a cute cottage house with a great atmosphere. All the staff that helped us were great too and all had a smile on their face. I ordered the banana smoothie, tasted a little more artificial than real banana… probably a little less syrup and more fresh banana is needed. Consistency was more thin too like a milkshake. Our meals were pretty good, happy to pay the price. I ordered the fritters, personally they were too fried so you get heaps of crunch and not much of the actual filling. Would have liked more filling to taste the flavours.

Went for a small road trip to Penrith for some brunch & aqua golf on Saturday. Came across Percy Plunkett on Google with really good reviews so decided to try it. Lovely building with buzzing environment and nice courtyard with small enclosed kids playground. We ordered brisket Reuben which was very tasty & big portioned. Brisket Benny which was a popular dish ordered by most tables. Kids had their meals of nuggets/chips & eggs/toast which they liked but not as much as their kids bubblegum milkshake with fairy floss! Worth a try if in the area.

Nice food, nice coffee & nice decor but you need more than that for a nice/good experience. I waited at the “please wait to be seated” sign only to be shouted questions at by the waiter across the room then told to sit wherever I wanted. I sat inside but the loud dance/hip hop music drove me outside to the verandah to eat my lunch in peace & quiet. Next was a tiny size “regular” latte that was finished in 3 mouthfuls. Perhaps they should budget for less expensive butter so they can afford to serve a proper sized “regular” coffee.

I looked up on Google for a nice place to take my wife for a brunch today, and found Percy Plunkett. When we got there, the place was really busy which was a good sign. Then we got an inside table, they have really nice service, we ordered two coffees and food. Coffees were really good, but the food took forever to get to the table and once I got my eggs benne, both eggs were overcooked. I mentioned this to the waiter and my plate was taken back for replacement, took another 5 to 8min to get my food back, and when I got it, eggs were right but the bread and mushrooms over heated and dry. My wife had already finished her food by then and I just gave up trying to have a good experience. Bill came over $74 for two coffees and two meals, they also don’t accept the NSW dining voucher. Just a bad expensive experience, we probably are not going back there.
