Anglers Arms in South Lakeland

Visited a few times in our week stay. Great drinks, delicious food and lovely friendly staff. Thanks for being so lovely with the kids and giving them memories with Milo! Highly recommend. Hopefully we will be back!

Very friendly helpful staff. Our dog Charlie was well catered for and so were we. Food was excellent. Would definitely recommend the king prawn linguine.

Very very good Sunday roast.... Glad we did not order a starter as the roast beef was substantial

An excellent dog friendly pub. We happened upon this pub whilst visiting the area. Nice varied menu with a special board too. Food was well presented and very tasty at good a price. Service was polite, friendly and efficient.

Visited this pub for an evening meal , after reading some reviews . Unfortunately we were not that impressed , atmosphere was rather strange , bit like a 70s vibe but not in a good way . We had vegetarian meals ,which looked promising despite them being a bit expensive . However , mine was pretty bland apart from being very spiced hot , very watery for a bean chilli , very disappointing for the price as well . Partners meal was a bit better . Though the overall experience was strange , we were glad to leave tbh .

Absolutely delicious food - especially the mici and lemon posset. Highly recommend! Real ales on tap a hit too. Staff super friendly 👍🏻

Currently on holiday and came here for lunch. Absolutely incredible food, really tasty! Will definitely making a special trip back just to come here again.

Called in today for Sunday Lunch on the start of our week over the lakes. My wife had the Roast Beef which she said was lovely. I had the Steak and Ale pie which was to die for. Lovely pub, friendly staff. I think we’ll be calling in again this week before we leave.

A welcome surprise the original menu with lots of sound home made food especially the home made desserts. Thwaites beers outside seating for sunny days.

This has got to be one of best meals that me and my wife has experienced in many a year, there was absolutely nothing to fault. The standard of service was exceptional, the food was fantastic and at a very reasonable price. The choice of draught beers was superb, could have stayed all day. A very friendly place to visit that can only be highly recommended, just a shame we live 400 miles away in Cornwall.

Had lunch in this lovely pub on two occasions whilst holidaying in the Lake District. Cannot fault it at all. Food was amazing. All fresh & pipping hot. The owner was very friendly & welcoming. Dogs welcome in the bar. Would highly recommend this lovely pub. Prices also very good.

Amazing burger and great beer selection. Definitely popular as food obviously top notch and in this day & age reasonable pricing. Book ahead so as not to be disappointed.

Booked Sunday lunch. Friendly staff, huge portion with lots of roast beef. Ordered a side of cauliflower cheese which was lovely. Couple of pints of the local ale as well. Would definitely visit again

This restaurant offers an exceptional dining experience with its exquisite menu, beautifully presented dishes, and impeccable service. The flavors are perfectly balanced, and each bite is a delightful surprise. The ambiance is warm and inviting, making it an ideal spot for both casual meals and special occasions. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy a truly memorable meal. highly recommend grilled salmon ,king prawn linguine,grilled sea bass and roasted half chicken 😀

Visited last week for the first time. Ordered lasagna after seeing photos online thinking it looks really good. Unfortunately I was quite disappointed with my meal, garlic bread was rock hard, lasagna was dry & some parts chewy. It definitely needed more sauce inside. Homemade chips were okay but again some chips were rock hard like they had been overdone. I could of sent my meal back but we had to go at a certain time so wouldn't of had time to wait for new meal. Hopefully it was just a off day maybe in the kitchen. Also ordered a kids meal, sausage & mash. Now the mash had pepper seasoning in which was no good for my 4yr old niece. It should state on menu as she couldn't eat it as the pepper was hot she said. Might come again to try something else on the menu but when you pay a lot of money for good quality food it is disappointing. Fingers crossed it's better next time.

Very good experience, food and service is on very high standard, well done to Pav and Dani

Had the most delicious prawn linguine, had pub classics and different specials, huge portions prices for mains between £17 to 25 Have soup of the day, quite a quaint pub but busy and delicious make sure you book a table as it fills quickly. Can’t recommend enough starters delicious mains scrumptious and pudddings very yummy

We arrived in the rain after walking from the train station. Walk in's were full so we started to leave back in the rain to find the next place to have a meal with our kids. The owner stopped us and invited us back in. Said he will make a plan to Accommodated us to stay out the rain with the kids. . Which absolutely amazing. Food and service was brilliant.

We have just enjoyed a delicious Sunday dinner and dessert. The food was prompt, hot, tasty and fresh. The desserts were home made and a real treat. It is horrendous weather and the room was cosy and relaxed. The staff are cheerful, very attentive and caring; we were made to feel very welcome. We thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. We will happily recommend it and we will definitely return. Thank you.

Lovely family run pub with great food and lovely local ales. Would highly recommend 👍

Gorgeous food ! Atmosphere and Service ❤️

Delicious fresh home cooked good lovely welcoming atmosphere highly recommend

Great Roast on a Sunday, formidable portions of good quality food - recommended 👍

Great place. Price on high side but otherwise a gem.

Pasta overcooked, sauce like tinned soup. Like TikTok teenage cooking. Nice sitting outside in the sun though.

Very welcoming staff Great food Nice atmosphere Very family friendly

There were very busy but allowed me and my partner and 5 children to eat as others in the area had turned us away. Thank you for a lovely meal and beautiful setting and services.

Superb friendly pub. Excellent Sunday lunch with cauliflower cheese as a must. Yum!

Great food and selection of beers.

Friendly staff, good service even though they were a bit busy. Food was good and plenty of it. Now that is what I call a Gammon steak! Prices were reasonable, and far enough off the main road to be overlooked by most people hurtling by.

We had 2 starters, salmon and mushrooms plus a bowl of salad. Menu was refreshingly different from a lot of pubs we've experienced. A good variety of vegetarian options and they even made a delectable salad bowl for us. Yay! not a chip in sight! (They were on the menu, but not the go to, most other pubs provide. Keep up the great service

Gorgeous pub, lovely and friendly staff and the food was amazing. Romanian mici - the best!!! We had a lovely time! Thank you guys!!

Good food all tasted amazing, service was a little odd, they the blackcurrant in our Guinness and black but dog friendly and clean

What a lovely food. Presentation! And taste. Compliments to the chefs! And all staff! Would come back unfortunately we live too far. Maybe one day. Big thank you!

The food wasn't good, tasted very bland and not well seasoned. The chips tasted like fish which is even worse considering they are a side to the vegan burger and would make it not vegan if the chips are fried in the same oil as the fish. After a previous confrontation with the owner where we already said that the food wasn't cooked well and her denying it vehemently she did not show herself anymore. Because of that we told one of the servers the deficits. To that the owner came back out again and angrily yelled at us and concluded her rage by telling us to "not come back again" which we happily comply with.

Consistently high customer service and good food

Excellent food, great service, will definitely return

Good food & Ale, a bit pricey, but quick service & dog friendly.

Beautiful gammon steak and really good service 👍

Excellent service Excellent food quality especially chicken bacon mushroom sauce veg. Portion were excellent Could not have dessert as had starters Would highly recommend to friends .

One of the best places i have eaten in for a while well worth a visit. Went back for a second visit on our last night of holiday and the food was just as good the second time. Owner was very friendly and his wife cooks amazing meals and raspberry cake.

We Googled for an eatery close to our hotel and The Anglers Arms came up with good reviews. They could accommodate the four of us and a dog 🐕 in the bar. After a couple staters we ordered two steak and ale pies, sea bass with tagliatelle and lasagna. Four excellent and large portions. Real pies, all pastry, not a china bowl with a pastry top. All dishes tasty and piping hot. The serve were efficient and friendly. A bottle of wine and some drinks and for four of us change out of £170. An excellent venue, highly recommended.

Popped in as we were in the area. The food is awesome, completely blown away by the quality.

Spent a long weekend here as part of a military reunion Field of Dreams. Had two meals in the pub one a light lunch and a Sunday lunch. Both were first class and definitely not small portions. Pav and his team do a first class job and nothing is too much. The beers good too. Will be back next year all being well.

If only I could give 6 stars! This is my new favourite Lake District eatery. It's a fantastic little old fashioned pub run by a lovely husband and wife team who've been running the place for just shy of a year at the date of our visit 4th July 2024. The decor in the Anglers Arm pays homage to both the local fisheries and also the now defunct steam railway line. I say 'defunct' but you can (as we did) enjoy a 35 minute steam train ride from Haverthwaite to the Acquatic Lakes from where you can do a cruise on lake Windermere to Bowness. But I digress: Once inside the Anglers Arms you met by a family oriented approach to customer services as you are warmly welcomed by both the ambience as well as the menu and specials. We had the meatballs and mash and chicken skewers which we learnt - as we were told, all the foid served - was made on site using local ingredients including herbs clearly visible around the front of the pub. The food was incredibly delicious: absolutely delicious. The portions are just right and very, very filling. The puddings were just as great, again: all made in house by this lovely couple. To top it all, the price for a 3 course meal for two (starters, mains, dessert a glass of wine and a pint of Guinness) for less than £65. I felt like I robbed them after having such a wonderful experience there. Can't recommend this place highly enough.

I had an exceptional dining experience at this restaurant! The food was great and delicious. Everything tasted like a culinary masterpiece! The owners were friendly, providing top-notch service and making us feel right at home, while the atmosphere was wonderful, creating a cozy and inviting ambiance that complemented the meal perfectly. Definitely will come again!

We ate here 3 nights out of 4 so think that answers any questions about this place. Fantastic food! Only reason we didnt eat on 4th day is that we were away all day. The roast beef was amazing as with all their dishes, enjoyed them all and large portions. I not usually a mashed potato fan but whatever that chef does with them, they were amazing. If you near by its a must. They have a very good bar too with a pool table and darts. Relaxed atmosphere with good friendly owners and staff.

Didn't eat here just stopped off on way back to accommodation. Very quiet but nice enough place with plenty of outside seating.

Great place been a few times owners friendly and food very good

Staff where welcoming and food served to perfection. Well worth a visit. Would recommend 100%

Lovely food, staff very pleasant, we stopped here by chance and was glad we did

Great food, friendly host, excellent beer.

Great home cooked food, but be warned, there are no small portions. It's definitely a place to go to when you are hungry. Pav and Dani know what they are - a down to earth, honest pub and they deliver it brilliantly

Brilliant pub and delicious food. Would highly recommend.

Spot on. Came today for a birthday meal. Fab food, cracking pint spot on service. Brought us treats out for our springer🐾 and fresh drinking water 💦 really nice guys ❤️

Excellent food and very dog friendly. Relaxed atmosphere with a pool table and dart board. Only one 0erson serving during lunchtime when we visited so he was very busy but gave good service. Very friendly and inviting. Definitely worth a visit

We discovered an incredible dining spot. Our group of five adults and 2 kids enjoyed a delightful dinner with our friends. We savored the flavors of Romanian mici, sea bass, and salmon - each dish was truly amazing. The children's chicken nuggets made with real chicken were a hit too. The service was top-notch, and the prices were reasonable.Thank you

Haven’t eaten in there called it for a drink a few times. In need of up dating and defo need to get rid of all the plastic plants. Could be a little gold mine with a make over. Been in 3 times and it’s been deserted everytime.

Lovely food and great location. Sat outside but still had great service and the everyone enjoyed their food. Highly recommend

Food on specials menuwas excellent and pretty good portion size. Pub was quiet enough, but bring your own atmosphere! Only place for miles, anyway, with good opening hours, so we'll be back!

Good food and plenty of it. Lovely friendly staff and definitely worth a visit. Nice pint of local beer available too.

Ate here twice whilst up on a week's holiday could not fault the food or the service

A truly lovely pub and dining experience. The hoists are lovely and the food was stunning. I will most certainly be coming back!!

Very nice pub very tasty food ,husband enjoyed the salt and pepper chip's would recommend.

Lovely old pub from our youth. Fab food and dog friendly. Well worth a visit.

Fantastic traditional pub with great food and a pool table

We had dinner. I have never had such delicious chicken with chilli. It is a perfect combination with fried rice. The meat is tender and well spiced.

Called for lunch, can recommend the sausage ciabatta. Will be calling again on our next visit to the lakes

Excellent food in pleasant surroundings

Lovely pub, reliably good for food, ambience, and service. Today's visit, as a family group, did not disappoint - in fact, the food was delicious. A slight issue with one of our mains was rectified swiftly and professionally. I have been several times and intend to return!

Superb family meal at The Anglers, Haverthwaite. Good food and excellent service. A very welcoming place to dine.

Gorgeous pub, lovely friendly staff and the food was superb. We had a lovely time there.

Highly recommend the food here. I had fish and chips and it was so fresh and light. Probably one of the best I’ve eaten. My husband had the steak and ale pie and thoroughly enjoyed it. My daughter age 15 fancied the children’s chicken nuggets. They kindly made her an adult portion and when they came, they were chicken breast, lightly battered, definitely not frozen shop bought. A little gem of a place and we will visit again when in the area.

We ate here as a group of 8 and all our meals were excellent. Service was also very good and we would recommend it for good quality pub food and reasonable prices. The Romanian mici is recommended and would be good to see more authentic Romanian dishes on the menu.

It's a lovely pub with a great team and amazing food. The staff members are very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.

Amazing food and service couldn’t have been better! Pool table and dart board were a great addition to an evening out with family and it was great to return since reopening to such a lovely, friendly atmosphere. Will definitely be back!

Absolutely great food, just 5min walk from Haverthwaite steam train station

Excellent food and service. Good beer. Menu is slightly basic, with traditional pub grub available plus the outstanding house special dish. It was slightly over priced, but otherwise fantastic all round.

Visited for a family meal, everyone went for different roasts and all were absolutely delicious. Along with the friendly service it made a lovely Sunday evening meal. So pleased to have revisited this place and to have it fairly local too, we'll definitely be back 🙂

What a great little find this was. We'd been walking all morning and searching for a relaxing lunch spot and found the Anglers Arms. The hosts were very welcoming and the wine chilled and delicious. I had the warm goats cheese ciabatta with red onion jam and my husband had the ham and piccalilli sandwich - large portions and extremely delicious. All at a very reasonable price. There is also a separate dining room for people to bring their dogs. I would highly recommend you check this out for quality, value for money and pleasant surroundings.

It's an odd place. Food was average.

Away from the hustle and bustle of Windermere Honestly, one of those places. First impressions left me wondering what to expect. Then BOOM the food came. All home made, all freshly cooked. Only one way to find out, try it for yourself. Family of 12 and the service was great. The food was even better. Will definitely be back again.

Had dinner 2 nights amazing food first class service definitely recommend and plan to return to support an amazing local business

Food amazing! Really friendly staff who looked after us. Highly recommended

I had a special, pork belly, absolutely sublime meal. Tasted delicious . My wife had the pie n mash. She loved it. Great atmosphere too. And I had a lovely ipa too.

A nice little pub/restaurant. Menu is good maybe a bit pricey for what's on offer. Staff are very attentive. Atmosphere is a little bit subdued and whispery (everyone whispers when the music stops). There's not a great amount of beers/ales. Establishment feels a bit dated. Not a bad place and I feel I may have been a bit mean however it's honest.

Our first visit. Lovely small pub. The Sunday roast beef was excellent! Friendly welcome from Pav and team. Great food. Thank you. We will be back 👍😊⭐️

Up to about 15 years ago we visited the Anglers for food and drink regularly. It never disappointed us with excellent service and food and drink. We have recently moved into the area, decided to revisit and to our delight it is as good as old times thanks to Pav and the team. We would highly recommend! There is a good range of choices on the menu and the Sunday lunch is excellent. The interior has been refurbished and offers a comfortable and welcoming environment with the plus for us that dogs are allowed in the bar area, as we often visit with our furry friend. Many thanks Gemma, Paul and family.

We had roast beef. It was barely hot, wife sent hers back. Gravy was probably bisto, beef overcooked and broccoli undercooked. Not impressed for £17.

We came up here for a 3 night break with the kids and ended up eating here for 2 of the 3 nights! Soo friendly, huge portions and amazing food. Best pub grub around. Couldn't recommend any more. Will certainly be coming back!

After a walk on Sunday afternoon we decided to call in the Anglers for a late lunch, we both opted for the roast beef Sunday Lunch with a side of Cauliflower Cheese. The meals arrived and the plates were full, I cant remember the last time i had a Sunday dinner as good, it didn't matter which bit of meat or vegetable you tried the flavours were great. This is about the 4th time we have eaten at the Anglers recently and the food that comes from the kitchen is wonderful. Cant wait to be back for our next meal.

We have been a few times now, such a lovely pub/restaurant and the staff are so friendly, first time we had Sunday roast which was delicious and an abundance of veg on the plate & lots of roast beef, starters were amazing, recently we went for my mums birthday, sea bass, burgers , & steak all perfectly cooked, it's set in beautiful scenic environment, be lovely to sit out in the summer , puddings were amazing too, definitely a place to visit

We dined here last week. It was a lovely experience. The staff were so nice and accommodating to fit us in, without a reservation. It was such a cozy country pub and the food was tasty and good value for money.

Had a valentine's meal here this evening fantastic service and food would highly recommend a visit to this lovely pub ❤️

This is such a lovely pub. The staff are brilliant and the food was excellent. We will be back and next time I'll pre order the lemon posset haha!

Characterful pub, always have candles on the table which is lovely, tasty food, amazing chicken burger!

Five star food, quality fresh ingredients served perfectly. We had a main and dessert each and would highly recommend the Salmon and Sticky Toffee Pudding. Excellent friendly service we will definitely be back.

Fantastic service. The Landlord Pav went above and beyond. Thank you

Came here whilst on holiday in the Summer, loved the food and pub that we came back for a second visit in the Winter. Good quality food, in a lovely traditional pub with welcoming staff and very dog friendly too. Looking forward to our 3rd visit soon.

Really good food and friendly service, a vast improvement on the previous owners!!
