Cavendish Arms Cartmel in South Lakeland

We rarely choose to go to a pub for Sunday lunch as we're so often disappointed. No fear here - beautiful meat cooked perfectly, pillowy Yorkshire pubs, great attention to detail paid to every veg on the plate. Cracking pint, lovely wine, friendly and efficient staff. A top 5 Sunday pub roast for us. Excellent.

The staff were friendly, and the atmosphere was decent. However, the chairs were extremely uncomfortable, which detracted from the experience. The food was quite average; I had the chicken and gnocchi, which was dry and just okay. Given the prices, the food should be outstanding, but it was merely passable. On a positive note, the chips were fantastic! The restaurant attracts a lot of tourists, but to encourage repeat visits, they need to address the uncomfortable seating and rethink the menu. A simpler, tastier approach would be much appreciated.

Had a lovely roast dinner here. Large portions so no room for dessert. Good food and service what's not to love.

Had the steak pie. Was ok... not a full pie, pastry lid. Very heavy on the sage. Large portion of red cabbage to fill the plate as pie not that big.. hand cut chips beautifully cooked . £22 a bit steep. Service pleasant enough ...think we had a newbie but was a lovely lass

Fabulous dinner for our wedding anniversary. Would recommend this lovely pub to everyone.

Great pub good selection of beers and lagers nice staff

Fantastic place and awesome food and beautiful staff and

Wonderful trip will definitely be going back.

Used the restaurant and b4ars. Not the hotel. Based on this, very good. Service, quality and value.

Fabulous Hotel with staff who care for you.

Really good a la carte dinner with great service from lovely friendly family.

My boyfriend and I ate here whilst staying up the road in Upper Crumble Cottages. The food was amazing. Honestly, hands down, the BEST pie I’ve ever had. Steak and ale, shortcrust of course. Wow. Service impeccable. Ambience lovely. Friendly locals. Fire. Dogs. What’s more to ask for? We have booked to go back for Sunday roast ☺️
