It is a Pleasantly enjoyable atmosphere under the covered seating areas. Enjoyed listening to the rain whilst cosy and warm with the patio heater on above. Fish of the day is either cod or haddock. Today was haddock and it was cooked perfectly with light and crispy batter. Washed down with draft Italian beer and super fast service made this an excellent experience.

Lovely fish and chips the best I’ve had in a long time maybe give us a few more chips as they came in a box all recycled 10/10 😊

A great spot with lovely staff and a nice vibe. I thought it was priced well (being used to highlands of Scotland prices) but I have to say I was so disappointed with the taste of the fish unsure if we are just spoilt up here for fresh fish but looking at the reviews I am not alone. I think if they prioritised decent haddock it would be the best eatery in the area.

Went here lovely little cafe , tad expensive , but you are right on the lake . Sevice and food good. My friends little boy had selected a cheese burger we ate in and when your little buzzer sounds you go and collect your food (great idea). He went to collect his food and consequently dropped it on tje floor at the counter. Now we were a family of 16 and spent well over a £100 on food. I would of thought as good customer service that they would of replaced it for him!! But no offer of a replacement and as it was fairly expensive we ended up sharing our food with him. Shame on you for not offering a replacement!! Thought it was really poor of them not to do this. I appreciate that he was the one that dropped it , but it would not of been so hard for them to give the little fella another burger. Very sad.

Extremely disappointed. The chips were chewy as if they had simply been reheated, fish wasn’t great either. Portion size was very very mean. Literally 10 good chips. All served in a crappy takeaway box even though we were eating in. Avoid this place

Gift shop right by the lake with a good selection of souvenirs. I'm a fridge magnet man myself and I'm quite fussy about them. I found one that I liked, so it's an automatic five stars from me. Wasn't too expensive either for what I bought. A lot of these other reviews about food are mistaking it for the restaurant of the same name a few doors down.

The overall experiemce was okayish. The food was bland. Extremly tasteless fish with good fries. The price and extra 15% charges of service fee was not worth the experience. The view was good as it near the lake and in front of main attraction. but the food taste could have been more better instead of bland.

To start with ordering food from this place was confusing as anything certainly not worth the price either. I went for chicken and mushroom pie it was like cardboard and no filling and I didn't enjoy it, I got a Latte that was just under 3 quid and came from a machine that was a rip off and was luke warm. When they shout your number from the kitchen hatch you can't understand what they are shouting and the older woman handing the food out was so rude. Props to the girl out front she was very informative and helpful as it was my first time visiting.

This is a great place to have your fish and chips there are plenty of tables undercover, you can order at the front of the shop and you can either take a seat inside or take away. We opted to sit at one of their outside/ undercover tables which is great as it keeps the birds away from your food unlike one of the other fish and chip places along the lakes edge at Bowness. The food at Driftwood is very nice and the staff are really friendly and helpful and the place is kept clean and tidy I recommend this place and would definitely go here again 👍

Really lovely freshly cooked fish and chips. The oil was clearly good quality and fresh as no residual taste you sometimes get with old oil. Also one of us had the Cumberland sausage in the bap and really enjoyed it. I have lived in various coastal locations and this is amongst the best fish and chips I have ever had.

Very tasty fish and chips at a competitive price (£7.75) for the location (Lake Windermere). We ate once and then decided to come back the next day for more. They give you a 10% off next time coupon on the refresher tissue packet. Their fish and chips is cooked completely separately to meat products. We are on holiday in the area and plan to have fish and chips from there again! The only negative point about their fish and chips is that the size of their portions are not consistent. Sometimes their portions are large and filling, while at other times they are very small. We have eaten 3 times from there in the space of just a week.

Awful experience. I purchased 2 boxes for chips just before they closed. A family were in front of me and we were asked to wait at the collection point. After 10 minutes the manager came out to close and the family asked about their order. The manager asked them for their order number but they didn't have it. He was aggressive and said 'no number, no food' for a moment I thought he was joking but he was totally serious. The family objected and he told them again that they wouldn't receive anything. I interjected and said that their number must be 1 less than mine but he wasn't interested. Finally, the family found their ticket and he rudely said that they go ro the collection point for their food. When I got mine it was bland and did not include everything I'd ordered. AVOID AVOID AVOID.

Without a doubt, the worst fish and chips I have ever eaten. Soggy batter, unbelievably dry cod tasted like it had been cooked 3 times after a month in the freezer and totally uneatable. Chips were cold and were like bullets. I did eat the mushy peas, which were passible. I can only imagine that the people that gave a good review for the fish must be realated to the owners. I wish I could give it zero stars.

I have to say, i'm not sure what has happened to the baguette fillings lately, but i have had my usual roma the last twice and was very disappointed. Chicken was too chunky and chewy, some pieces being inedible, just not what they used to be. Ditch the new chicken, its not great. Sorry, but definitely not the same.
