Crofters in Barrow-in-Furness

The room we booked was awful, chair arms all ripped and sponge handing out. The staff(young kids) kept getting all the drink orders wrong and also tried to over charge on multiple occasions. We got told for cold buffet food it was 6pound something and for hot and cold it would be 9pound something. So they picked the 9pound option for 40 people. The food was absolutely awful and appalling. One bowl of chips, 3 small trays of dreadful sandwiches. And a few other crappy things. I most definitely not be going there again. Discussing place

We went for a nice Sunday lunch the lamb didn't taste like they had cooked it themselves. It looked and tasted like it was processed meat no roast potatoes just new potatoes in there skins the gravy wasn't a gravy she called it a au jue the only thing that was good was the Yorkshire pudding we had sticky toffee pudding which was like rubber and one of us had a lot of oil in the dish we won't be back

Sorry to say but the worst meal we have ever had. Not one good thing to say about it. Will not be going again. Steak pie was tough gravy watery. Well what can I say about the crust? Yuk

We went as a family of 8 & had the roast dinners which we couldn’t fault but what we weren’t impressed with was when the waitress started clearing the plates and asking for our dessert order before we had all finished eating which we found very rude. We got the impression the chef was in a rush to finish for the evening. Not impressed especially as the meals are not particularly cheap. Will probably not return for a long while.

Very disappointed at our meals and service, long wait to order even though there were very few customer's, myself and granddaughter ordered the roast beef with a dessert for £16.99,when we eventually recieved it i could not believe how small a meal it was 2 items of veg missing when i mentioned it i was greeted with 'oh' and she just left, my grandson ordered chips nuggets and peas he recieved mash and nuggets so was sent back ,my daughter ordered a side order of chips which along with the peas arrived after the main was eaten, asked for dessert menu and waited half an hour to come back to take the order will not be visiting again.

Bar service from Will and Rachael was top notch. The food cooked by the two chefs was unreal, would definitely recommend

Poor food poor quality and long wait time despite only one couple in waited so long for kids icecreams had to leave Wont return

We were here for my cousin's wedding and the room was lovely and the bar was fabulous and very friendly staff.Would definitely stay again 👍👍👍

Myself and my husband stayed here for a weekend and it was absolutely fantastic. The staff were friendly and helpful and nothing was to much trouble, the rooms where clean and furnished well with everything we needed for our stay.

Nine of us went for afternoon tea to celebrate my birthday. Good choice of sandwiches, plenty of delicious scones and cakes, enjoyed by all. Pleasent staff. I can definitely recommend Crofters

I chose the Ploughman's salad, it came in a bowl, there was no pickle, no crusty bread, and you had to pay extra for the ham at £1.50, the meal was £11.95. it had lots of salad leaves at the bottom, approx. 2 pieces of tomato and cucumber and 3 lots of cheese which is expected on a ploughman's, just very disappointing.

Very disappointed with our meal. Have been a couple of times, but after this never again. Bland and cold steak with watery sauce. Had far better for less else where No one checked on the table. Even when paying no one asked how it was. Just paid and got out of there as soon as possible, leaving two steak meals at the table. Won't be returning.

Visité crofters después de que me lo recomendara un amigo por tener un gran ambiente. Se me ocurrió con mi primo y su novia y me sorprendió gratamente lo deliciosa que estaba la comida. Comí lasaña y chips de sal y pimienta y fue uno de los mejores que he probado. Honestamente, acertó en grub. Seguí hablando de lo buena que era la lasaña casera. Así que sentí que necesitaba escribir esta reseña. Definitivamente lo recomiendo. El personal era amable y muy servicial. Increíble. JW

Last minute booking whilst visiting our daughter, couldn't have been better good food, drink, excellent host an waitress. My daughter and friends will be spreading the word.

Visited as a family of four & all of us had lovely meals. Staff were really pleasant to. Would definitely return.

Lovely staff, good value for money food. Good gin, disappointing beer, and unfortunate decor. I might pop back if I fancied another meal.

Nuestra estancia en crofters Lodge fue perfecta. La habitación era encantadora, elegante, llena de carácter y muy limpia. También cenamos allí, que no nos podemos quejar. También me gustaría añadir que el personal era amable y acogedor, y definitivamente volveríamos a visitarlo si estuviéramos en la zona.

Llamamos aquí a principios de la semana para tomar el té como un grupo de cuatro adultos y dos niños.Tuvimos que esperar un poco, ya que había un grupo grande al mismo tiempo. . . . pero el personal nos hizo conscientes de esto en el momento de la reserva y que estaba bien.La comida estaba bien. No estaba interesado en los chips de sal y pimienta que parecían estar ahogados en las cinco especias chinas.Una de nuestras comidas se olvidó, lo que condujo a una espera adicional de 10 minutos para uno de nuestro grupo.Esto fue tratado bien y la camarera se disculpó mucho.Estaba bien, pero no nos apresurábamos a volver.

La primera vez que estuvimos aquí, todos tuvimos la cena asada que estaba deliciosa, el único inconveniente que tenía la salsa era que tenía trozos, pero por lo demás no podía encontrarle ningún defecto, todos los postres eran deliciosos, sin duda volvería de nuevo, bueno La relación calidad-precio, la joven muchacha detrás del bar y servir las comidas era una ventaja para el pub, muy amable y servicial.

Had a great meal with the family here. The young girl behind the bar was brilliant. Very attentive and friendly. We had a mixture of meals and everyone was happy with what they received. They also showed football and the atmosphere was great

Great food great staff child friendly. Lovely modern surroundings a child playground for summer....highly recommended....personally I would always go there with my family....fab atmosphere.

Mencioné en mi crítica para el alojamiento, pero lo mencionaré de nuevo: ¡Abbie y Gill fueron fabulosos! No reservamos y fueron bastante apresurados, ¡pero nos consiguieron una mesa y nos cuidaron! ¡Habría comido y bebido más toda la noche si mi barriga hubiera podido manejarlo! Excelentes platos principales y postres para obtener una buena relación calidad-precio y no puedo esperar a volver. ! ! !

Fui para la cena del domingo. Sonó y reservóCuando llegamos había habido cierta confusión y todas las cenas de los domingos estaban agotadas. La camarera se disculpó por lo que no afectó nuestra salida. Me decidí por el pastel de bistec y ale con pasta de masa corta. Tuviste una variedad de pasteles que me parecieron muy buenos. Mi marido tenía bistec. Terminé con pudín de toffee pegajoso. Todo muy bonito. Podría intentarlo de nuevo para el almuerzo del domingo si se pasa.

Visitamos aquí para la cena con amigos para ponerse al día.Mucha variedad en el menú, buen lugar, personal amable no puedo recomendarlo lo suficiente.Habíamos comido nuestra comida y en esa conversación tan ocupada no nos dimos cuenta de que el tiempo había llegado a casi las 10. 30 pm: solo habíamos tomado una bebida, pero nunca nos molestó nadie que nos empujara a comprar más o que nos hicieran sentir que necesitábamos irnos, sin saber qué hora de cierre es.Pastel de pollo y jamón delicioso seguido de esponja de almíbar y natillas. Los amigos comieron curry de verduras y el mismo pudín, y otros tenían una korma seguida de pastel de banoffee, ambos dijeron que eran hermosos.Definitivamente volveré a visitar y a las 15 para dos cursos y una pinta, lo llamo razonable.

El personal era servicial y una vez que habíamos pedido una cena, no tuvimos que esperar demasiado tiempo. Excelente cocina con filetes como queríamos. Todo el resto de la comida. setas, aros de cebolla, etc. eran geniales y no la comida de la fábrica servida en otro lugar. Buena variedad de bebidas y una noche muy entretenida.

Han pasado años desde que estuvimos aquí, nunca lo pensé y nunca vi ningún anuncio, sin embargo, realmente me alegro de haberlo seleccionado para el almuerzo del domingo, era claramente asado preparado en casa, bastante bueno y tierno, las verduras eran todo nítido y fresco y un buen toque fue el bote de salsa individual. Volveremos

Arrived from 4 days in Blackpool to finish off our anniversary break. Were an hour early to check into the lodge, but so happy as I had their Welsh Rarebit with homemade chips for a wee spot of lunch while we waited and it was delicious. Dinner that evening was excellent from starter to pud. Must try the Prawn Cocktail starter and the chicken Goujions, awsome...... Sticky Toffee pudding amazing. Wish we were able to stick around for another round of Rarebit and chips, and would have loved the chance to try their homemade soup. If ever back in the area would stay at the lodge and happily dine here brunch and dinner ❤️

Want this evening at about 7pm never eaten here before we were very impressed firstly with the lady that served us she was very freindly and professional and secondly the standard off food was great I really hate to admit it but I had 3 courses whilst my partner could only manage a main I polished of a starter a main and the best bannoffie desert ever we will most certainly come back many thanks for a great meal

We arrived at Crofters, we had booked a double room, the room we were given was far from what we expected, small room with a tiny window facing on to a roof with very little ventilation, There was a fan in the wardrobe but very few electrical sockets, myself & my husband both having a mobile phones that needed charging so we had to either have the fan on or the Tv but not both, The shower head was filthy & the shower base was in need of a good scrub but on the plus side the water was nice & hot,

We brought my wife home to Barrow for a surprise 60th birthday party. The following day we decided to have a pub lunch before we went our separate ways.

Always a warm welcome from Jon and Jill at Crofters. Great friendly pub with a varied menu at a decent price. I love going in the "snug end" to watch the live sport. Landlord a big rugby union fan but also happy to put on all sports. Beer Garden in the better weather is the best in town and great for the kids. I've not stopped overnight at The Lodge but I've have heard really good reports from people who have. Great place!

Family of four, 2 courses and a bottle of house wine for £60, can’t knock it. Great venue, fab staff and good food, what more can you ask for.

Once again, Crofters produced a good meal for us to enjoy with family.

Nipped here for a few after having afternoon tea as my friend swears by the rhubarb gin & this is where to find it.

Nos cortado de aquí alrededor de 4. 30:00 pm para ir a comer algo. A la llegada de la señora bar estaba lleno en el portátil con algunos clientes que habían reservado alojamiento en pero nos dijeron que no había espacio. Pero no había otras intenciones en el bar.

good food good beer went with friends and time flew by , been twice loved both visits be going back again

Went for a meal with friends, nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Food was nice but the scampi would have been better if it came with lemon and homemade tartar sauce rather than the little packets.

Había 12 de nosotros hoy que fuimos a cenar. Este tiene que ser uno de los lugares más bonitos en los que he estado. El ambiente y el personal es encantador. La comida fue muy agradable ya que tenía un asado de 3 platos el domingo para€. Vale la pena una visita x

Went out for impromptu lunch on my dads birthday with both my parents and my little girl, quick service good pub grub. Thats all you can really ask! Would definitely go again.

Went to crofters Christmas Day It was terrible not a very friendly place poor service food appauling cold gravy the whole meal was shocking all staff just wanted to hurry you up so they could go home management could not careless weather you enjoyed it or not just wanted your money and get you out i would not go here again .

Mi novio y yo no\nos impresionó Crofters. Comida regular, y medianamente razonable. Personal amable. Queríamos ir y sentarse en el sofá para relajarse después de la cena, sin embargo una función privada de navidad había reservado toda esa zona, así que tuvimos que permanecer sentados en nuestra mesa, que era un poco decepcionante.

No el personal más atento, demasiado ocupados con teléfonos móviles y gritando al otro lado de la habitación a otros.

As my wife was in hospital, a group of friends decided I should go out for a meal with them to cheer me up and make sure I had a decent meal!They couldn't have picked a nicer place. I've been here many times before and never had a bad meal. In fact the staff couldn't be more friendly and helpful, that's why I was surprised to see a recent review saying the opposite. The meals are always really good value and delicious; it's a good friendly pub with great pub grub

I took my family to the crofters when they had come for a visit from Calabria.NEVER again!! the food is poor steaks ordered to be cooked medium rare yet when arrived about an hour later it looked like it had been cooked in the great fire of london.I forgot my baseball mitt too so had trouble catching my plate as the waitress launched it at me in her best New York Yankee pitcher impression.The manager Jill had the attitude of a waffen SS officer yet with less tact.Safe to say in future I'd rather dine in a Guantanamo Bay that set foot in this place again.AVOID at all costs.

My partner and I came here for an anniversary meal, it was a bit busy but we were served really quickly. The staff were absolutely brilliant, warm, funny and polite which made it all the more relaxing. The food was outstanding and the price of the entire meal was perfectly reasonable for what was served. I'd go back for a meal in a heartbeat, we both adored it!

Very impressed with the food. Large portion sizes at a very reasonable price. Service was good. Great beer garden area too. Will defiantly be returning!

Went with a large party but unfortunately there was a football match (England) and the food took around an hour to come out, however it was tasty when it did come out but we were not asked if we wanted any deserts as they were too busy.

All staff really friendly and accommodating. Food really good price and you get a lot for the price. Pool table, darts and tv on one side of pub. Large outdoor area with a lawned area or patio area. Large on site car park

Food was nice, big portions and good value for money. Right next door to where we stayed so ideal for us.

Booked a table on a Saturday night and everything was of a good standard . Food is good quality pub food at reasonable prices and the service we had was excellent . Went on the recommendation of a family member and we were not disappointed ,and we will definitely be returning . I had the Cumberland sausage burger with bacon and cheese and it was absolutely scrumptious!

being in Barrow for work and wanting something different to Travelodge type place , the Crofters was recommended ... it's a 10 minute drive from Barrow in a modern housing estate but the accommodation is spotless and the rooms are well appointed and sensibly priced. The food in the pub is reasonably priced .. most mains under £10 and a choice of real ales .The staff were all a bit all over but friendly , helpful and we all got there eventually

When we looked at the menu we thought what's the catch.. The prices were very cheap. The food was lovely for the price we paid.. Cheap and cheerful. Not too notch pub grub but at that price can't complain and would go back for a good bargain

Crofters is a 15 minute walk from our house so is good and handy for that last minute decision to go out for lunch! It has recently been refurbished and has a very pleasant and relaxed atmosphere. The owners and staff are always friendly (we don't go that often that they really know us!) and we have never had a bad experience or meal there. It is reasonably priced and we sometimes take the grandchildren who can safely play in the pubs own adventure area.

We booked a table at The Crofters with my Wife's Family for Saturday lunch. We ordered pretty quickly but it took nearly an hour for the food to arrive. The owner was very apologetic and the food was good, it took just too long. There was another table of 12 there when we arrived and their food came out in 'Instalments'. One poor guy only got his after most of the others had nearly finished. Another table who came in after us also had to wait. It wasn't really full and not a complex menu so no idea why there was such a delay - no explanation offered by the owner either. Not sure I would go again.

Excellent food: Homemade chips were amazing!. Lunch meal deals were amazingly cheap for the quantity and quality of food. Friendly staff. Only complaint would be that the room is very cold - presumably due to the high ceilings.We were shown round the new bedroom annex - they are of an exceedingly high standard (and warm!) and we would recommend people who are visiting Barrow check out the website which is being updated to incorporate the accommodation. Free parking and free internet. If the breakfasts are as good as the lunches, an all-round winner!

my dad had this pub recomended so phoned and booked a table for 7 on the saturday 2 jan 2016 , it was a part celibration for my visiting son whos birthday had been the previous day .there was only onother couple of people in at that time who where eating .ordered the food and waited , and waited , and (yep) waited ....when the food came out all (about the same time ) we started to eat out meal my farther and i had orded the surf and turf , steak with scampi we had to send both these meals back as the steak was cold (i know you have to rest meat but this steak had fallen into a coma !)so then another 20 min wait , so we didnt exactly all eat together no apploogy from the landlord , who was behind the bar or from the landlady , who was in the kitchen (resting ?) they left the embaresment to a young waitress , which wasnt

Several of us went here on Friday night to celebrate a birthday, the place was warm and welcoming on a freezing cold evening. Pauline I think she was called could not do enough for us, nothing was too much trouble. The menu was varied and the food tip top, Pauline said she had made the sticky toffee pudding and you could tell it was home made.Thank God I had left room for it absolutely beautiful, I asked for it with ice cream and fresh cream, Pauline ended up bringing a jug full to our table. Tea and coffee was good and plentiful and she made it a great night for us. Some of our party go with their children in summer so they can sit outside and the kids have a run around. I write a lot of reviews and can safely give 5stars for our visit, well done Crofters. There were 10 in our party and I am always amazed at the mostly high standard of places to eat in Cumbria.

We visited the pub just to call in as my husband is originally from Barrow and he used to go when he was younger. The atmosphere was great with sports TVs for our teenager and outside play for the little one. The landlady couldn't do enough for us so we ate there a couple of times whilst we were there, good choice and reasonably priced.

Been a few times before and it was always busy but this time we were practically the only ones in there. Main meals were ok I guess very basic gammon chips & peas no other veg. When my husbands cheesecake pudding arrived it had mould on it so it had obviously been hanging around for a few days:( a quick sorry from the waitress she did offer him something else but he'd gone off it by then. Won't be going back.

Went in for a Sunday lunch without a booking, the food was just to say ok, I had lamb and quite a few had beef. I actually had to ask if mine was lamb. It didn't particularly taste or look like lamb to be honest. But on the plus side the real ale was spot on.

Bar snack on a Sunday evening ! Food lovely , service good and prices reasonable . Good atmosphere too !

Fantastic value,really great pub in fabulous grounds,The food is fantastic anf theree is a great range to choose from.John is very welcoming as are all his staff,they have many functions here and I can see why

Called sadly as a second choice. It won't be in anyway second in future. We had called into The Ship earlier in the evening and had an horrendous welcome. We therefore went up to Crofters. Wished we had gone here first. The welcome was great. Staff really friendly and welcoming as was the landlady.We got a lovely table and had fresh and tasty food. Really good pub grub, well priced, hot and freshly cooked we found.Wine was well priced as were the drinks we ordered. All the food and drinks were served by polite and very friendly staff.We will definitely make here our first choice in future when going out locally.

I like Crofters and its very good for good reasonably priced food but the drinks are some of the most expensive of any of the Barrow pubs. It caters mainly for the residents from the Holbeck houses and it one of only two pubs in that area.

The food was very average the worst thing about it was the loud landlady and her small grandchild running around

We had the sausage and mash and went disappointed really tasty.the staff are very welcoming and polite,great atmosphere great location,fantastic outside space

We decided to try out Crofters for ourselves, heard and read mixed reviews and i remember what a busy and excellent eating house it once was. 'My oh My', how things have changed and not for the good.My partner and i have been looking for a alternative eatery in my local area, The Ship Inn and as we used to frequent this local and excellent Pub / Restaurant when the food, quality, choice, portions and service was excellent was nearby. Since the new occupants took over The Ship Inn, in December 2013 has not been up to 'Scratch' and the standards have declined. We feel Crofters have missed the 'Boat'.Our visit to Crofters albeit the staff were helpful and obliging, the food was dreadful, we weren't looking for fine dining, Michelin Star quality, just good local Pub food, where the food should be served with care, presented and above all should taste good with the home cooked feel about it.The food we were served was bland, cheap frozen and tasteless chips, what we thought we were getting Cumberland Curl Sausage, nope, cheap sausages with little or no meat inside them and shriveled up peas. My partner chose the Scampi and Chips, again Cheap tasteless Chips and Scampi from the days of Scampi in a Basket from the 1980's tasteless, my wife chose for our youngest the Golden Fish Finger and Chips, nothing Golden about the 'Fish Finger or the Chips' but they were right about the Fish Finger (single) the Beans were dried and reminded me of the yesterdays warmed up variety using a Microwave. Needless to say, we will not be returning soon.The area is crying out for a good local Pub serving excellent food at excellent prices which the Ship Inn once served, come back The Ship Inn, all is forgiven.Crofters...you are missing a fantastic opportunity and hope this is read and noted..Ben W

Went on the off chance without a reservation on a Saturday evening. We were very surprised how empty the place was. Ordered food and it came in a reasonable time, service was good and the food was okay. No complaints at all for the price, had lots better but had a lot worse. Deserves to be busier than it was.

Decided to take my two children for lunch, Sunday 14.09.14 to Crofters (Holbeck), and what a disappointment.Crofters was once a well-known Eatery, I remember this place being very busy, jostling with life, folk in the beer garden, people eating on the terraces.It has a large beer garden, a large terrace, basically a good looking well-kept Public House. I ordered for my children Chips, Sausage, Egg and Peas, for myself, Cumberland Ring of Sausage, Chips, Egg and Peas.It was clear to see the Chips were of a frozen variety, nothing wrong with frozen as long as there not of the cheap tasteless variety, the Chips on my children’s plates looked anaemic and could of done with 2 – 4 extra minutes, the Sausage were of a cheap and rusk filled type with little or no meat, the Garden Peas were dried out shrivelled.When my meal was served there was no ‘Cumberland Ring’ just normal sausages, it was mentioned to me they had run out of ‘Cumberland Ring’ and I was served with so-called Cumberland Sausages, again the Chips were tasteless, anaemic, the Peas shrivelled and the best part of the meal was the fried Egg.The sausages on my plate when I cut into them were soft and seemed they had very little substance about them, it wasn’t until I cut into the third one and realised it was slightly pink in the middle, this is not acceptable.The staff are friendly, the Pub has so much potential it cries out for a good chef and for food to be presented with loving care. It was very quiet, no sign of anyone eating, this should have rang alarm bells, on a warm sunny Sunday afternoon it was very quiet. A crying shame.!I, my wife and children used to frequent another Pub nearby in Holbeck, unfortunately the new owners in my eyes have ruined what was a superb Eatery, but since they have took over, they have often ran out of Ale and different meats for the Sunday Roast, this is where Crofters should and could take advantage, the locals I am sure would get behind and support what once was a delightful place to socialise and to meet friends for drinks and for food and the locals need a good Eatery and I dare say does Barrow.For me I will not be returning until I have heard of a major change.Sam B.

Popped in for a quick lunch on a Friday.Service very friendly, and the food was of a decent quality and reasonably priced.Chips are home made and very tasty.Decent pub grub.

We booked a sunday lunch for 13 people arrived at 1.30, the 5 starters came out at 2.40 and main courses came out at 3.10. We had two rounds of drinks and just refused another before the mains came. When I asked if there was a delay with the meals the waitress said 'we're very busy'. Sorry, but if you take bookings, then you know how many people you are going to serve at any time during the day. Suffice to say that we did not order a sweet. If you can't deal with the amount of bookings, get more efficient staff.

We live close by and within walking distance. So hubby and I called in for a meal before going on holiday. Food was really good. There was a really good selection and really you can't go wrong with the selection on offer. Will definitely go back.

Booked a table on Father's Day for three didn't get seated until four food was over cooked (surf n turf) staff seemed oblivious that we were unhappy at being sat waiting for an hour?? Will definitely not be returning anytime soon !!!!!

We called in late on father's day without booking. We were warmly welcomed even though the staff must have been tired after a busy service. My partner chose the lamb sunday lunch, I went for the chilli con carne both of which were good. A great Sunday lunch venue.we will visit again.

Will never go again ! Nothing against the land lord or landlady or the nice older bar lady she's lovely thinks she works for another pub to but the 30 odd year old bar woman scruffy greasy slim woman awful we regulars there's and didn't go for a few months but thought we'd give it a try again but while she there me and all the family members 15 of them Won't be coming ever again she's rude arrogant and so much more never again and we spend a lot in there but won't again !!!!!!!!!!!

me my husband and grandchild just had a lovely meal at crofters I had lambshanks with mash and veg with minted gravy it was well cooked and steaming hot lovely. my husband had a chicken stack which consisted of breast of chicken bacon toped with melted cheese and a lovely bbq sauce which he had a job to finish as it came with chips and veg great. my grand daughter had a childs meal of chicken nuggets with chips and peas. the service was very good and the choice of beers was great to. there was a good choice on the menu which means we will have to go back and sample it more often. the whole meal was reasonabley priced around £25. we will certainly recommend it to everyone

Food was terrible sent it back twice and after that the staff were very rood and arogent. Price of drinks was ridiculous. And the children's park outside is a death trap!! Time for a new chef I think wouldn't recommend this for families

Very friendly atmosphere and the food is just lovely. Landlord & Landlady are very friendly and welcoming

Me and my husband have eaten here a few times,tried the gammon,fish and lasagne which have all been quite good so we decided to try the sunday roast,I had beef hubby had lamb and have to say we were not impressed,the meat was like scraps,no nice slices,don't know what they cook their roast potatoes in but the taste was vile,runny tasteless gravy and hard veg,I see someone had said about huge portions being given at this pub I personally have to disagree and say the portions are on the small side,would go again but would never opt for the roast.

We chose to eat at Crofters as my wife and father-in-law remembered the day it opened 30 years ago! The restaurant itself is clean and we'll presented. The waitress was polite, welcoming and informative of all the specials on offer. Not many staff on duty, but adequate for a Thursday night, which just added to a really friendly atmosphere. We ordered 4 different meals, which were all reasonably priced. The steak and ale pie in particular was rich with melt in the mouth pieces of steak.. The portion sizes are akin to American restaurants! The tuna and prawn salad was served in a huge deep dished bowl and my wife's fish was virtually hanging off either side of the plate. The quality of the food was certainly not compromised either. After initially ordering the chocolate fudge cake, I was tempted towards the sticky toffee pudding instead as recommended by the waitress as I knew my son would let me try his anyway! OMG.. The cake is light and moist with abundance of toffee sauce. The fudge cake was also tasty but not in the same league as the sticky toffee pudding. Again, a large portion, but with food this good nothing was left. We travelled from Manchester, as we have family still in Barrow, and I'm gutted I've not been here before. Already decided we will be eating here every time we visit.

Extortionate pricing of beers for a local pub, service was poor with a can't be bothered attitude. Outside was a redeeming feature we had to move out there as inside was just full of flies

We went on a nice sunny day with 3 kids in tow - good outside area with an adequate children's play area. Food is basic but cheap enough and kid's menu is good value. We would probably go back again on a nice day if the grandkids were around and we wanted a cheap lunch.

Went for a nice family meal.Good food and nice atmosphere. Good choice of meals on the menu. Nice outdoor seating too.

Invited to join friends for a meal - sadly after a friends funeral. Lovely food in a friendly atmosphere. Good selection of beers and wine. Certainly cheered me up First time Ive been but I will definitely go again.

A large family group of us went for a late Sunday lunch after celebrating our Grandsons birthday in the morning. The table was reserved and the waitress service was good. The restaurant was not busy so we did not have to wait long for our food. The starters and main courses were very good, and everyone seemed to enjoy their meals. However, when it came to the puddings - not so good. The apple pie in particular was awful - it looked like a shop bought one and had been heated in the microwave so the pastry was all limp and soggy. In fact it looked as bad as it tasted so we sent it back and were given a refund. The sticky toffee pudding was a bit better but again looked and tasted like something from the supermarket. The chef definitely needs to do better with desserts as they really spoilt what up until then had been a lovely meal. As the restaurant is within the pub there was a good selection of beer and soft drinks. However, it was let down by the wine which tasted cheap but which didn't have a price tag to match! A better quality and selection of wine would enhance the overall dining experience.
