Penny Lane Pub & Grill

Where else in San Diego County can you find such a fun & friendly crowd, all in the quaint  
&  welcoming atmosphere of an old English pub?  

We may not take ourselves too seriously, but we definitely take our beer, our food, and our
music seriously.  You'll find an extensive collection of Beatles photos and memorabilia
here.  And of course you'll find all the original Beatles CDs on our jukebox, as well as many
other rock favorites, both classic & new.  
We're famous for our Fish & Chips but, in addition, you'll find almost 50 items on our
extensive menu, and over 30 imported beers available, many on draught!   Palm and Blue
Moon are some of the latest additions to our lineup.  
Of course you'll see most of the beers you would expect in a British pub; Real Guinness,
Boddingtons, Genuine Harp, Bass, Newcastle, Smithwicks, Stella Artois, Strongbow, &
many more.

Our large covered outdoor deck is perfect for smokers, or those who just want to enjoy the
wonderful San Diego weather.   And, when the weather is less than perfect, we'll crank on
the propane heaters for you so you can drink more cold beer!

We've always taken pride in the quality of all of our menu entrees at Penny Lane, especially our Fish & Chips, for which we use only
cold-water cod.  Brandie & our chefs have frequently sent back shipments of fish if they weren't up to our tough standards for
freshness & taste, and we never resort to frozen fries, our Chips are fresh-cut every morning.  That's why our customers often tell us
we have the best Fish & Chips they've ever tasted.  However, like so many of you, we became concerned to recently hear about the
dangers of trans-fats in frying oils.  So we started testing alternatives to trans-fat oils, and we've now found an oil that offers great
taste and has no trans-fats.   Penny Lane is now the first restaurant in San Marcos to switch to oil with zero trans-fats.   Because
even though we have some great salads, you can't eat salad every day.   With that sort of a healthy change in your diet, you can
probably afford to have another beer now!

-Our Kitchen Is Now Open Until 11PM every Tuesday through Saturday night with delicious appetizers, soup, and more.

Thank you for your patronage.  Cheers!!  
Now well into our fifth year as the owners of Penny Lane, I want to take this opportunity to say thank
you to all of our good friends, our loyal customers, and to our new customers as well.  It's been a blast,
thanks to you, and we look forward to seeing you more often as we improve Penny Lane for your
enjoyment.   
In the past 4-1/2 years, rather than cutting costs, Brandie has painstakingly worked to improve the
quality of our menu items.  If you haven't recently tried our Fish & Chips, Shepherd's Pie, Meat Pies, or
Bangers, you're in for a pleasant surprise.  Our customers often come from other states, and even
other countries, raving about our great food.  And lately it's been difficult to keep some of those items
in stock.   As always, we will be introducing new entrees to our menu from time to time, so please ask
you server what's new.  
The restaurant business is a very competitive one.  One doesn't have to look far or long to see
restaurants that have gone the way of the 8-track tape.  We feel very fortunate to be your pub of choice,
and we pledge to give you top-quality food at fair prices, the best drinks available, and personalized,
non-corporate service from the best staff anywhere.  So please come on in and help support your
local, family-owned pub & grill.
Thank you,  Rob

Many of you know our former bartender, and dear friend, Lois Moore.  Lois has been ailing lately, but she is making some progress.  
We have a bowl on the bar for any cards, notes, & donations for Lois, and I know that your notes, and your generosity have been
greatly appreciated!
Lois asked me to post this note on our website;

To all the staff, vendors, and customers,
Thank you for all your warm thoughts, prayers, and love.  I know that they have helped me to get better
each day.  
It's just not enough to say that working with you, and serving you was a pleasure.
Lady Bird Johnson said it better, when she said: "Joy is importantly different from mere pleasure.  Joy has
in it the real recognition of the contrasts, the depths, and the problems of life.  Joy is an act of courage,
because it can carry you through anxieties and sorrow."
Thank you for carrying me.  I miss you, and hope to see you soon.
Mostly, I wish you joy!!!
Forever,
Lois Moore
