r/Penrith

38F looking to meet a female companion for friendship and to do things together whenever we’re both free.
I’d love to find someone who’s up for playing badminton, visiting museums, browsing thrift stores, walking around the city, or simply exploring new places together.
I’m looking for genuine friendship and good company, not anything romantic. Ideally, someone around my age who enjoys having a companion for weekend outings and spontaneous plans.
If you’re looking for the same, feel free to DM me and we can chat and see if we get along. 😊

What’s best food available in Penrith, in your opinion?

I’m planning a visit to Penrith and I’ve heard there’s a lot of good food there. What’s your favourite pick?

EDIT: Wow didn’t expect so many replies, thank you! Will need _many_ trips now to go through so many suggestions 😬

> Western Sydney communities will be the first to benefit from a $27.4 million investment into Service NSW centres, with a new location confirmed for Penrith.

> An enhanced Penrith service centre at 61-79 Henry Street will replace the existing dated centre 

Back in the early 80s, my mates and I used to go to High Street just down from the PO and get $2 chicken roll from what I remember as Big Rooster. Am I remembering it wrong and it was Red Rooster?

Edit: A Google search says it was Big Rooster.

Hey! I’m hoping for someone to point me in the right direction to join a Squash Club. Wanting to get back in to it casually after not playing for many years. I’ve tried googling but the results have often been a bit ambiguous. Would be even better if I could find a buddy to go with occasionally! Happy to travel outside of the greater Penrith area within reason. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Does anywhere know where they have a nurse on weekend to do wound clean and dressings? I need a daily change and the medical centre I’ve been going to isn’t open weekends

Howdy! Looking for a restaurant for dinner tonight that is wheelchair friendly. Many places seem too cramped to move the wheelchair without flipping the restaurant over lol.

Thoughts?

Edit: Thank you all for your responses. We are going to Lone Star

Has anyone lost a black bag tonight at emu station? If so let me know so I can return it :)

Hey. Doing a big decluttering at home. Where can I donate books that I no longer need?

It'd be sad to bin them.

I doubt the library will take them as they usually have a sale of their own books out the entry front in order to rotate new books through.

G'day.

Where can I get the cheapest eggs in Penrith? Am willing to drive to Llandilo if need be but won't go further outside of Penrith. Last time I checked, ABCO had the cheapest from the shops I've checked, but they always seem to not be in stock when I go in.

If I have an appointment in high street that goes for about 4 hours tomorrow (Monday) at 9.15am. How screwed am I for parking?

Happened about 10-20 minutes ago (1:30 am right now so around 1:10-1:20)
My friends were walking home from Westfield down high street when someone came behind them and threw an egg out of a white suv. My friends didn’t see much, the people didn’t yell or anything, just threw it and kept driving.

Popular Penrith nightspot Mr Watkins is changing its focus, with its standard bar and restaurant offering to be no more.

Hi All,

Does anyone have recommendations for mens barbers that can do scissor cuts for men with longer hairstyles? I have almost shoulder length hair and usually go to the city a few times a year just to get it sorted out, however was wondering if anyone knows any local barbers? I fear most barbers in the West just know fades :(

Could anyone recommend an eyebrow person in the penrith area who specialises in people with blonde hair/fair skin? Went to a place on high street, showed her how i wanted my brows when I last got them done when living in qld. I walked out looking like Ms Trunchbul from Matilda 😅
