Gilpin Bridge Inn Restaurant in South Lakeland

A smart little country gastropub. Nicely decorated with efficient friendly service. We had two sandwiches for lunch with a bowl of chips. The sarnies were really tasty and well presented. I'm afraid the chips were less good, some being quite hard. That didn't detract from a lovely lunch. Recommended for travellers on your way up to the Lakes.

Myself my husband and our 2 friends returned for 1 night on Fri to celebrate our friends birthday/ retirement. The last time we visited in May 24 we said we would come back . We were not disappointed, so lovely to see Debbie and the staff again, our evening meal and breakfast was delicious, the rooms are clean and bright, bed very comfortable . We will definitely return again.

Had a really lovely relaxing lunch. Food excellent, staff efficient and friendly. Venue in a great position just off the A590 at the junction towards Bowness and Windermere (A5074)

Popped in on a bike ride for coffee n cake. Great deal only £6.25 ish delicious homemade cakes. Was so good and people so friendly we visited again for lunch which was also excellent. Lovely outside seating area Highly recommend

We stayed at the Gilpin Bridge for two nights whilst visiting Cartmel races. The staff were lovely and the bed was extremely comfortable. However, the shower head was too big for the shower and the grouting was in a poor state. Another minus was the fact that the water in the toilet was at such a high level that my undercarriage was under water whilst sitting on it. There was an extremely limited choice for breakfast but the full English was quite acceptable. We dined in the restaurant on the second evening and my partner enjoyed her scampi and chips. However, I found the rather dry and shrivelled haddock very disappointing but the Biscoff cheesecake for dessert was delicious.

First time here, stopped off for lunch.. The staff were very friendly. We had fish and chips and it was delicious, the batter was very light and crisp. We will definitely call again.

Called in Sunday for the roast. It certainly didn't disappoint. Excellent food and very warm and welcoming staff . We have visited a number of times and have never had a bad experience.

Just had a delicious meal at the Gilpin I has the pan fried sea bass with popcorn capers and it was delicious 🤤 my partner had the chicken with mushrooms bacon and tarragon which was delicious too

Great place for lunch with some fantastic dishes to choose from or you could have the Sunday roast which is always lovely, it’s lovely and warm with a nice log burner in the corner, and Debbie and her staff make you feel really welcome excellent place for a bit of lunch.

Tried The Gilpin Bridge Inn for Sunday lunch for the first time. It was on the recommendation of a number residents on our nearby holiday home park site nearby. Friendly helpful service, really tasty well cooked. Great value for money. Our new go to local when we eat out.

Very friendly staff, clean and comfortable accommodation (that is dog friendly) and excellent food. A bit of a drive from the Lakes if that what you are visiting for, but in some respects it means your evenings are away from the madding crowds!

What a superb find! Stopped here as we had to find last minute dog friendly accommodation as we had a poorly relative in hospital in the area, and could not have been made to feel more welcome! Sophie greeted us so warmly that we discarded our second option we were considering and decided to stay here! The locals are all so friendly and made a fuss of our little dog (special thanks to John!;-) the food is brilliant - high quality ingredients - and the owners super friendly! Our room was immaculate and breakfast spot on, we will most definitely be back! Thank you to all who took such good care of us at a pretty stressful time and good luck to the lovely Sophie and family with her upcoming baby! :-) Happy New year to you all! xx

We visited on a Sunday as a family of 5. Unaware there was only the roast on offer, it wasn’t an issue as we were hungry and thought if that’s all that was on offer it would at least be quick, how wrong were we! We watched everyone around us eat starters, then get mains, we then got our only course after everyone else had been served, the meal took an hour to arrive! I’ve made tissue from scratch quicker than that! Not so much of an apology or a complimentary drink. The roast was ok, bland but edible and definitely not worth the £16 price tag. Never again.

Great Sunday lunch, the staff are amazing and especially Deb who makes us want to return again and again

Met by really friendly staff, was very clean and food tasted amazing. Lovely end to family day trip would definitely visit again and recommend to friends.

We came as part of a group having Sunday lunch. The place is quite an old fashioned and traditional British pub. Hadn’t been there in 20+ years and not a lot has changed. I had a nut roast which was nothing special. A couple of beef eaters said they had found gristle in their cuts. Pudding was OK but we left disappointed. The pub has so much potential but seems a little tired.

After a trip to the lake District we was driving home and happened to spot this pub set back from the road. So please we called in. A lovely pub with great facilities. A small play park to keep the kids happy and a good selection of beer and wine at a reasonable price. I didn't eat hear but after speaking to a few people they highly recommended it. Already impressed, the jewel in the crown had to be the barmaid called Sophia who was South African. She is probably the most friendly, helpful person I've met in a long time. Nothing was too much for her and she made us all feel so welcome. Infact she was so nice, even though we live 30 mins away we are going to return next weekend we had such a nice time. Many thanks Sofia.

Food overpriced for what was largely inedible- the two burgers we ordered had salad in them that was going off, the chips tasted strange and the mayo tasted off. The atmosphere was awkward and the servers were unprofessional. The ONE server who actually served us (and everyone else) out of the 4 that were working and seemed free but were busy audibly and visually gossiping was nice and caring enough but only just. It’s a shame because it’s in a nice location and is really convenient.

Family visit to the Gilpin Bridge yesterday and I'm pleased to say it was as excellent as usual . Lovely roaring Log fire on arrival and we managed to get a table right next to it. Great atmosphere in this well kept and managed country pub. The staff team led by Debbie are very attentive and professional and the service was good, Debbie always goes the extra mile for you. Food was amazing as usual . 2 of us choose the roast Sunday dinners, they were fabulous. Huge portions they even boxed some of it up for us . The other choices off the menu were equally as good. The desserts were fabulous, dad said it was the best sticky toffee pudding he had ever had and my husbands ice cream sundae was so big I took photos and sent them to friends . We will be back soon. Definitely recommend.

Been to the restaurant a number of times but never on a Sunday. The choices were a vegetarian option and beef or turkey with all the trimmings, at very reasonable prices, must say the quality of the meat was good and a good selection of vegetables. The service very good as always by the time we left every table was full. Waited around 20 minutes for the meal which was fine, well worth a visit.

The WORST Sunday lunch by a country mile!!! Thanks!!!! inedible food, bad service and rude staff!!! No veg on a Sunday dinner because they FORGOT IT?? 20 mins wait for a drink!!! Bottle of wine with no cooler and it wasn’t even busy which doesn’t surprise me, asked staff for veg and got a rude response but the food was so bad it was a blessing that the veg arrived after we ate!!!! Carrots hadn’t even been peeled and toped !!! And never got cutlery till we asked twice meat was reformed turkey and tough beef!!! hope I’m not I’ll in the night!!!

Very nice meal and good beer, served by a very pleasant member of staff. If I had to say one thing then the room was not the warmest. Difficult and expensive to warm a big big room.

Just returned from out 2 night stay and throughly enjoyed ourselves. Our room was clean and cosy and we enjoyed both our breakfast and evening meals. The staff were very knowledgeable and went out of there way to help, already booked oir return visit in the spring

Paid on arrival ( not usual), then was informed the hotel had heating problems and a water leak, so there was a slight smell. Reception staff were pleasant, but out of their depth No too sure what we were supposed to do, having driven 8 hours, with a dog and a evening meal locally booked, so we stayed Reception and our room smelt of damp so much Hotel is so very tired, chipped paint, stains on wall, nothing felt clean, shower was tepid, whole place is about a £50 standard hotel Breakfast was edible, but by this stage we just wanted to leave Asked on departure for a reduction due to the smell, this was refused and lady said, " well you stayed", not really the point! Hotel needs to consider if they should actually be open with the damp and smell

Visited with family, ended up with the worst beef bourginouin ever! Hardly heated up and barely enough for a child’s portion. Rest of the family said their meals were ok apart from the burnt fried Chicken. Won’t be going back anytime soon.

Hot roast beef ciabatta, Ciabatta was like rock, filling was burnt, onions, mushrooms, beef. Fries over cooked. Coleslaw yuk. We came to this place ages ago and it hasn’t changed at all. The young girl serving was superb so we gave her a big tip. It’s a shame because we won’t go again and we have a static 15 mins away! I don’t like to complain in front of people so hopefully you’ll take this on board and relay to your chef! If he can’t make a delicious sandwich he shouldn’t be in this industry.

Warm friendly welcome on arrival. Good choice of food on the menu which suited everyone in our group including picky vegetarians and kids. You could tell the food was homemade and very tasty. The kids enjoyed the playpark while it was dry and the staff were very friendly. We'll definitely call again as nothing was too much trouble

Nice evening meal with kids. Nice food and good portion for children’s menu. Good selection on the menu and staff always helpful.

Absolutely the worst meal ever. Like a warmed up readymeal.. terrible and I couldn't eat it. The man serving looked like he'd just finished work on a building sight and was dressed in shorts and teeshirt with a bad attitude borderline aggressive.. terrible experience and...

My husband had the lasagne which he said was very nice. I had the chicken supreme which should have been called chicken well below average! No mention of my returning over 95% of the meal was made by the staff so I presume they shared...

Beautiful home cooked food, quality children’s meals and exceptional customer service. We’ll be back to this gem!

Really nice pie - nice sausage black pudding and apple with chips and gravy - and wallings ice cream which is great. Staff were lovely.

Comí aquí la semana pasada y lo disfruté mucho. Estaba ocupado pero tenía medidas covid (sistema unidireccional y muchas estaciones de desinfección, etc.), por lo que nos sentimos cómodos. La comida estaba caliente, recién hecha y con una buena relación calidad-precio. El personal fue eficiente y amable. Definitivamente volveremos

Esperamos más de una hora a que llegara un plato de pollo soso y de aspecto horrible, que aparentemente es el "best-seller" del pub. Las patatas fritas eran las peores que hemos tenido en mucho tiempo. No puedo comentar sobre los postres dado que después de 2 h esperando a que se limpiaran los platos, nos dimos por vencidos. Además, muy pocos cambios de comportamiento y medidas para combatir el Covid: no había rastros ni rastros, ni secador de manos ni toallas en los inodoros, ni desinfectante de manos ni toallitas antibacterianas por ningún lado. Lo siento por el personal.

Así que reservamos una mesa para las 7 y media, cuando llegamos alrededor de las 7:20 nos unimos a una cola enorme. Al hacer cola pasó una camarera, le dijimos que habíamos reservado una mesa. Ella acaba de decir de una manera estirada que tendrás que hacer cola en el bar. . no sentimos que quisiéramos hacer cola en una cola larga, pasando por delante de todos los que estaban comiendo listos. Así que nos fuimos un poco decepcionados.

Reservé una mesa aquí el lunes pasado para nuestra primera comida después del cierre.¡Muy ocupado! Pensé que podría ser con los incentivos del gobierno. El personal de la taberna parecía estar encontrando sus pies con sus sistemas. Resultó en una espera para el servicio y la comida. Esperó más de una hora entre sentarse y llegar la comida.La comida era muy buena ! Todos disfrutaron de sus comidas.¡Volvería a reservar en el futuro! Quizás en un mejor momento o, con suerte, una vez que se relajen las restricciones.

Acabo de regresar de una comida en el puente Gilpin. Tuve que esperar una hora y media para que llegara comida. No se dio ninguna advertencia sobre este retraso ni disculpas. Estábamos con un niño y comenzamos a comer cerca de la hora de acostarse. El pub estaba lleno cuando llegamos, pero los números disminuyeron rápidamente, por lo que no se puede culpar.Mucho esperaba esta comida familiar. Tristemente decepcionado.

We have had a tremendous meal tonight and been truly look after. Service outstanding menu comprehensive. We had the special, which was a swordfish steak, and the Gilpin speciality sausage. Both meal red hot and delicious. Beer excellent and staff friendly and efficient. Couldn't fault it. Great evening

We ate here yesterday on a whim, it was a rainy day and we were looking for some good pub grub and this place didn’t disappoint. The homemade chicken and mushroom pie was brilliant, nothing gourmet but homely and filling which is exactly what we wanted. Reasonably priced and good potion sizes. Impressed and we will return!

I've been in the area several times in my caravan but never visited until now. MY LOSS. We had an excellent meal with good staff service and a varied menu was on offer

Very friendly staff but tough beef which was inedible. Very disappointed in my Sunday lunch, especially as the staff are so pleasant.

We called in on Saturday lunchtime and had a lovely bar meal. We were made to feel very welcome even with two noisy toddlers and were glad we called as the food was delicious. We will be back.

Paramos aquí para almorzar en nuestra primera parada en Kendal. Realmente cálida bienvenida de la casera, ¡espero que todos sean tan agradables en nuestra estancia! Las porciones de comida son grandes y la comida es sabrosa. Nos hicieron sentir realmente bienvenidos con nuestro bebé y nuestro hijo pequeño. Instalaciones para cambiar pañales y un área de juegos de aspecto divertido afuera para cuando el clima es mejor :)

Been here for Saturday night and Sunday lunch, the food was good especially the Sunday lunch I was aware a couple of staff were new and being trainedThe only issue we had was the fact at the weekend it was very busy and the service seemed slow ( over an hour for Sunday lunch) that said the food was worth the wait and the menu offered a good varied selection.

Stayed two nights whilst on business trip in area. Found the staff very friendly and welcoming. The room was spacious, clean and tidy, heating wasn’t on but once I discovered the free standing heater hidden in the wardrobe the room soon warmed up. I thought the single sachet of shampoo/shower gel they supplied for a two nights stay was as a bit stingy, otherwise no complaints. The place is definitely a food pub, I stayed midweek and there was very little atmosphere in the Public Bar which made for two early nights. The Pub is fairly isolated, so no real option for going anywhere else if wanting to fill in the evening, unless you’re prepared to drive. I found the food to be basic, but filling, standard pub quality. Note that Breakfast is not served until 08:30am which is worth bearing in mind when planning your trip, especially if business related.If I have cause to be staying in the area again I would consider booking again though.

Really enjoyed my meal at the Gilpin Bridge Inn. Staff were friendly and helpful. Food was great. We had chicken burger and farmhouse chicken. Both very large and filling portions. I would recommend this pub as a great place to eat.

Cuatro de nosotros nos reunimos para un almuerzo tradicional los domingos. Los entrantes de sopa de cebolla (no espectacular), Whitebait (OK) y Paté (bueno), platos principales de 2 de carne de res y 2 de cerdo fueron simplemente adecuados. El servicio fue bueno, pero una sopa derramada, no se limpió en el momento. En general, no creo que volveremos!

Really friendly welcome on arrival to this Inn - I think some reviewers forget it is not a hotel but an Inn/Pub So is quirky with little annexes and mismatched furniture - not to everyone’s taste but if clean and comfortable....We had a pleasant stay,we found the Inn to be very clean,for those who note such things the carpets throughout the lower floors looked new to me. No fluff or rips etc!Our room via stairs and a few corridors was very clean and the en-suite (via a sliding door )while dated was fine too. We took our own towels but the ones here looked ok.The bed and pillows were comfy and surprisingly the brushed cotton fitted sheet was cool in the heatwave as was the room with the window opening on to a view of statics.We had a restful night following a delicious meal - the portions are huge, we should’ve just had a main meal and forgone the black pudding stack starter / couldn’t do that.Drinks are comparable with other pubs in the area.We woke to the sound of sheep and a cockerel.Breakfast was relaxed - help yourself to juice and cereal then choose from a variety of breakfast options,again the food was lovely and piping hot.All in All we found The Gilpin Bridge Inn excellent value and we would visit if in the area again.Friendly StaffGreat hot and tasty foodExcellent Value

I would suggest if you are visiting this part of Cumbria you make a point of calling in to here, it’s an ideal place for a light snack or lunch, lovely place and great staff and the plus is, it’s pet friendly.

Went for a Sunday dinner at the start of our journey home to Northampton. Both of us had the beef which was beautiful. We had also started our weekend away with a Friday evening meal there & had the lamb & mint and the pork & apple burgers. Again very nice.

El personal fue muy amable y servicial. Tanta variedad de comida para todas las comidas, incluido el desayuno bien preparado y presentado 10 sobre 10 para lo que comimos. Muy limpio y ordenado. Habitaciones muy limpias y tranquilas. Es por sí solo y se necesita un automóvil para llegar allí, pero no dejes que eso te desanime.

Absolutamente de ninguna manera volvería aquí para quedarme, la cama horriblemente chirriante literalmente cada vez que te mueves sentado o acostado, y de acuerdo con el miembro del personal que vino a la habitación cuando me quejé, ¡el ruido es NORMAL! Lo siento, pero ¿tengo que pagar casi cien libras para tener menos de 4 horas de sueño?

A su llegada, el Gilpin se ve bastante bien, sin embargo, la frase "se puede estar engañando", sin duda, se aplica aquí.

We were welcomed on arrival by lovely staff, showed to our room decorated nicely, clean and comfortable! The food was excellent and plentiful! Staff very friendly! We will definitely stay again

I was looking forward to a lovely mothers day meal with my daughter's and grandchildren, I was totally disappointed the food was awful, the only good starter was the mussels, my soup was just warm and tasteless, I've had better out of a vending machine. 4 out of 8 had a Sunday roast mine being a nut roast it was so over cooked it was inedible. I definitely won't be back.

Me and my partner booked a room last minute (the morning of our stay). I called up to book and the girl on the phone was lovely and it was booked with ease.

Pleasant pub / restaurant . Being a Sunday the restaurant was busy but we had reserved a table which was ready for us .

Pulled in for lunch on way home , I had trio of sausage with mash and veg excellent!! Rest of party had sandwiches and side of fries all excellent a gem of a find will be back when in area 10/10

Stopped on spec for an evening meal, six adults two children. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Good choice on the menu,the food was delicious with generous helpings. Would recommend this restaurant and call the next time we visit the Lake District.

Reservamos una comida aquí para 20 miembros del Club del Automóvil. Nos pusieron en la habitación de atrás y nos aplastaron sobre una mesa que podría haber sentado 16 cómodamente. La comida principal fue terrible. Las verduras estaban frías. ¡Mi esposo puso un poco de coliflor en su plato y todavía estaba congelado! ! Se quejó y tomaron su plato y dijeron que le traerían algo más. Dos minutos después, compraron su plato de vuelta sin las verduras y dijeron que le traerían algo más, ¡nunca vieron al personal después de eso, así que no había verduras!

Otra vez, otra visita a Gilpin Bridge, un personal amable y un menú a precios razonables con grandes porciones, excelentes cervezas de barril y una buena selección de vinos y licores. No se puede quejar del lugar, limpia el personal, la buena comida, la buena comida y la cerveza, todo lo que quieras de un pub.

Fui a comer como un regalo para mi cumpleaños. Pedimos y nos sentamos, en la zona de restaurante. Era encantador y tranquilo. La comida era muy buena, las patatas fritas eran las mejores que he tenido. Una sorpresa completa en cuanto a comida, comida típica de pub, y mucho mejor. Esperando una excusa para volver. . .

Four of us visited today for lunch, three had the special "Cock & Cow", strips of chicken & beef, in a very tasty sauce with peppers accompanied by chunky chips, Did not want it to end, SIMPLY DELICIOUS, three well scraped plates,one friend decided on Fish n Chips, it hung off the plate & went down equally well,

We walked into the place and recieved a very warm welcome and was shown our table. We were seated in a nice window seat and our drinks order was taken by the excellent barman. We arrived around 1pm and the place was just starting to get busy, our order was taken shortly after our drinks had arrived.We went with the 3 course Sunday lunch which was very filling and we had just enough room for dessert. The only negative point was my wife had asked for the gravy boat on the side rather than it being poured over but all in all we enjoyed all of our meal and the hospitality that came with it.

WE went to Gilpin Bridge yesterday on our way home from the Lakes and can't recommend this highly enough.

We was passing here on the way home and decided to call in for Sunday lunch. Staff were very welcoming, but the food was very average - that average we didn’t stay for desert and went to somewhere else.

Early Monday evening may not be a representative time to judge any establishment, but we cannot fault the warmth of the welcome, the genuineness of the service and the quality of the food.

Made to feel very welcome. Dogs allowed so great. Staff very friendly and a very nice pint. A Great pub

We were passing so stopped here for Sunday lunch. WOW!!! The food was beyond excellent , real mash and roast potatoes, the beef was excellent, homemade Yorkshire pud and stuffing and gravy made with the meat juice. Fresh veg, (would have been better with broccoli or green cabbage, served with red cabbage( not the best tbh) Nice Sauvignon blanc too. We will be eating here again. Very pleasant staff too.

Stopped here for a meal on a rainy Sunday. Opted for the Sunday roast which was either beef or lamb, opted for the lamb, what a good choice. Came with proper roasties, Yorkshire pudding, mashed potato and a side dish of veg which was leeks, red cabbage and heritage carrots. Was served with lashings of gravy which is a bonus in my book. Only thing I thought was odd was that it came with a sage and onion stuffing portion which I didn't think went with lamb. Wasn't too keen on the mash either but that was the only thing I didn't like. Had the 2 courses deal and had the roulade which was served with ice cream and strawberry sauce, again was delish. The manager and staff were very friendly and I will definitely come here again !

Equipo de cálida bienvenida excepcionalmente agradable. Rápidamente se detuvo para un almuerzo ligero. Chaqueta de patata que mejor he tenido en mucho tiempo. Guarnición ensalada estaba programado, no sólo el iceberg token pero adecuada junto con algunas hojas de col y ensalada de patatas. Vergüenza de decir que no he llamado antes, pero sin duda volverá.

Nos topamos con el Puente de Gilpin Inn en nuestro camino a casa una noche, así que no sabía qué esperar. Resultó ser un accidente afortunado ya que el personal es excepcionalmente amable y disfrutamos de una agradable comida en un entorno emocionante si relajado y cómodo. Mi sobresaliente con un delicioso y huevos, patatas fritas doradas, mientras mi marido tenía whitebait para empezar, seguido de un filete de cadera con patatas hervidas y aros de cebolla en masa. Medianamente bien.

Después de haber ido a este hotel durante muchos años, y en verdad, estoy encantado de decir que por fin la volver al nivel que estaba hace muchos años. Que ha tenido varios directores en los últimos años, pero ninguno de ellos hizo mucho bueno para la reputación del hotel, la calidad de la comida va de mal en peor a lo largo de con el servicio. Ahora parece que los administradores de primera clase están teniendo un orgullo en el negocio y están llevando a un lugar de alta calidad para comer una vez más. Tanto mi esposa como yo somos discapacitados y no puede ir arriba, así que no puedo responder por las habitaciones pero hemos escuchado buenas críticas. Vivimos localmente monturas no deben quedarse aquí, pero no ahora disfrutar de la comida de la hora de comer, no salir en la noche, pero estoy seguro que la comida será de alto nivel para aquellos que hacer. El hotel en sí está idealmente situado para aquellos que deseen visitar el hermoso Lake District, el acceso es fácil llegar a las vistas más impresionantes que están disponibles. En conclusión no tengo miedo de recomendar este hotel a cualquiera, los gerentes y el personal es muy acogedor y amable a los visitantes, disfrutar como lo hacen.

Mi novio y yo nos alojamos en el Gilpin las noches de el 10 y el 11 de septiembre de 2016. Nos pareció que el personal y directora muy, muy servicial.

Visitamos el Gilpin para cenar después de un ajetreado día explorando los lagos. Ganas de comida abundante para satisfacer nuestra hambre de pub, pero nos decepcionó me temo. La zona del bar era la rodilla profunda con una reunión de jóvenes agricultores y con sólo dos miembros del personal, fueron llevado fuera de sus pies. Tuvimos que esperar una edad para que alguien tome nuestro pedido, no es su culpa. Era agradable y se disculpó cuando finalmente llegó, pero luego tuvimos que esperar incluso más tiempo para nuestra comida, lo cual fue decepcionante. Cuando quería café y liquidar la factura de mi marido tenía que hacer cola en el bar para pedir, de lo contrario hubiéramos estado allí toda la noche! Luego tuvimos que volver a pagar como las chicas no dan un minuto para avanzar desde el bar. El pub en sí es precioso, muy limpio y los dos miembros del personal muy acogedor y amable. Sin duda es materializarse la responsabilidad de asegurar que tiene suficiente personal disponible cuando saben que va a ser muy concurrido. Volveríamos de nuevo, pero quizás para el almuerzo cuando es un poco más tranquilo.

No habíamos estado en Gilpin Puente durante unos años y decidí probarlo en ruta a Barrow. El menú era muy limitado, elegí el relleno de pimienta, mi marido salchichas y puré. Cuando llegamos dos salchichas muy pequeño en la cima de una colina de puré...

Había 13 de nosotros para el almuerzo del domingo, la acogida, el servicio y la comida eran excelentes. Recomiendo el cordero, la carne era suculento y el jus fue el mejor que he tenido.

Después de estar sentado en el tráfico por horas, nos puede haber sido desviado para un paseo y en coche por Kendal. Para nuestra sorpresa nos encontramos un perro amistosa parada de descanso donde el personal y la decoración eran tanto encantador y acogedor. La...

On arrival we all noted the rather off putting smell as we entered and nearly chose to leave before ordering . Also that it was quiet cold inside. Should of heeded our first impressions.I was hoping since change of ownership i was going to be impressed. Was really looking forward to the meal. Firstly the menu choice is very limited. Two of us opted for the roast beef. This was served with three small roast potatoes some mash and a Yorkshire pudding. The beef portion was a joke ...not sure if they had run out and split one portion between two of us or what. Three tiny bits that would of struggled to make a whole slice. Small dish of veg served separate. Tasted OK but just too little for the 9.95 price tag.We also ordered scampi and chips and chicken gouijons and chips. The chips where still hard in the middle. The scampi was at best a budget brand. The chicken was well over cooked. Tough and stringy. They both came with a side salad that seemed a bit limp and uninspiring. The meals where ridiculously over priced for the quality and quantity. The owners need to have a look at what you can get elsewhere for less and price themselves accordingly.We usually visit Romneys and the carvery roast is far superior as is the rest of the menu and slightly cheaper. Also no atmosphere at all.

Very disappointing, won’t be rushing back.We had Sunday lunch at Gilpin Bridge Inn at Bridge End Cumbria today 13th March 2016. The menu advertised outside was not available, only a limited menu on Sundays. Service was not the best and the food ranged from, at best, average (Sunday Roast) to tasteless (fish). Would Not Recommend.

nice food dog friendly would recommend reasonably priced nice location good starting point for the north and the lake district

We visited Gilpin Bridge this Sunday and arrived shortly after noon. To begin with, there weren't many people there, but it soon filled up. The menu was quite varied with several choices for each of 3 courses. The lunch was plentiful with the vegetables served separately. The deserts were gorgeous. Our only complaint would be that it was a bit chilly, but we were there on one of the coldest days this year. We'll definitely be going back.

We had lunch here. There is (currently) no menu on their website so we had no idea what to expect. It turned out that the lunchtime menu is very limited and it's what might be described as typical old fashioned pub food; gammon, battered fish, Scampi etc. I think everything came with chips and apart from peas and one vegetarian option there weren't many vegetables in sight. The decor is a bit spartan and the beer choice severely limited. Having said all that, the food was all well prepared and nicely presented and the service was OK too. We didn't see an evening menu so perhaps it's more interesting than the choice we had. I doubt we'll be back to find out however.

Very bad service, staff weren't unkind just so slow!!!! Ordered a steak was meant to be medium rare but came well done, sent it back, 15 mins later still no sign of it!!! Weren't asked if we wanted sauces or drinks or even if everything was ok!!!! All in all we won't be going there again!!!

Not far from Cartmel, good food & nice atmosphere. Very good menu with plenty of choice. Our room was very nice & clean & would definitely return here. Dinner was fantastic but so is the breakfast!

the gilpin inn restaurant is very welcoming and the decor and surroundings is to a very good standard staff were very helpful but one criticism the food was not very good to be honest two meals out the four were not very good (RUBBERY BURGERS) and slightly over priced for all four meals apart from that was ok.

We stopped here as we wanted somewhere different to eat after spending the week in Bowland Bridge. My mother in law said hello to the barmaid and the barmaid seemed to dissappear without saying anything. She came back and told us we could have a table for four but would need to have vacated the table by 8. As it was only 630 this was fine by us. The menu was great with lots of choices. Our food all arrived hot and we had no complaints other than the vegetarian burger my husband ordered was clearly a freezer job and not homemade. We ordered pudding which was also satisfactory. The toilets could have been better, with scruffy doors and no handcream. This was not the worst experience we have bad in a pub but was certainly not the best either. There are plenty of other better places to eat in the south lakes.

We had had a long day at Cartmel Races ,we were hungry ,yet we fancied something other than run of the mill pub food . We called at the Gilpin the food was excellent we opted for a Cajun chicked salad which came with crust roll it was delicious ,without being overpowering , and at £ 7.95 was good value . The staff were very polite and friendly we noticed that some items on the men u were a little more expensive than other pubs in the area , But what we had was presented well and was delicious . Good service Good Food and Good Price . Will call again soon

We were driving home from Scotland to Sussex and were fed up with eating on the service way. We turned off towards Lake Windermere and decided to stop here. The best choice we have made for ages, even thought it took us out of our way by half hour. The Gilpin Bridge Inn was very welcoming and the people serving were polite attentive and friendly. We decided on a starter and main dinner. My husband had the potato and leek soup which was tasty and I had the pate and toast both turned up and were large portions. We ordered the steak and ale pie, chips and peas it turned up with its own gravey bowl and a little bowl of peas on the side. This was the best pie we have had for ages big chunks of meat which melted in your mouth. Again the portions were ample. Other people eating were of the same opinion as us the food was incredible! Best pub/inn food I have had for along time. Highly recommend this place to eat or even just for a drink and a game of pool. Will definatly be stopping here again.

Arrived shortly after 8pm .was immediately met by a woman who approached us and told me and my husband we could not have a meal because they were too busy as they had a table of 10 in.We could see there was empty tables but they still said we could not eat there.I am amazed how this establishment continues.Within 5 minutes we rang another local pub who were more than happy to cater for our needs. I am bewildered that you're establishment in such a competitive market fails to adhere to customers needs.
