About This Pub
You know, chatting about The Two Pennies feels like recommending a favourite local haunt to mates – it's that kind of place where you pop in for a pint and end up staying for the chat. From what I've gathered from the reviews, the staff really shine; they're helpful and create such a warm atmosphere, whether you're just dropping by or planning something like a surprise reunion. The drinks selection is spot on too, with a great range of beers and ales that won't set you back much, making it ideal for a casual afternoon or evening. On the flip side, it's a shame about the food – only cold snacks available, so if you're hoping for a hot meal, you might need to look elsewhere or plan ahead. Overall, it's got that genuine community vibe that's hard to beat, and with such positive feedback over the years, I'd say it's well worth a visit for anyone in the area looking for a relaxed spot to unwind.

We visit this bar every time we come to Northshields and really enjoy our time in the bar. Staff are really friendly and the prices are very reasonable. Highly recommended
No hot food available but a selection of cold snacks which are great! Great choice of draft beers, ciders and ales and also spirits. Staff are brilliant 👏and friendly, great bar👍
Can't thank the manager and his staff enough for a fantastic afternoon on Friday, we had a surprise reunion for a dear friend's birthday who has had a stroke and hadn't seen many of his ex colleagues for 12 months, the Two Pennies was a lovely cosy venue, the staff are all really lovely and helpful and the buffet they put on for us was fantastic albeit far too much, very good value for money, and the music was great, I wud 100% recommend this venue for a party, thank you so much, Karen
First time here. It's about 10 mine walk from home. I have to disagree with a previous reviewer about food being basic. Yes it ain't a la carte. But it is excellent quality food. I had special. Hot beef sandwich and chips. Was fab. Lashings of gravy. Condiments a plenty. And ye don't get this very often, but real chips. Not frozen c**p. I really enjoyed the meal. Nice pint of Blue Moon Citrus Wheat Beer. Lovely, welcoming staff too. All I would need for 5*+ is a couple of decent real ales. Apart from that highly recommended.
A good relatively new pub on the old square, nice friendly staff and really proppa chips, what more could you ask for. Sitting area at the front which gets the sun all day.
