Hartley's Restaurant in Barrow-in-Furness - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Brilliant little restaurant, excellent food, and the chunky chips are too die for 10/10.

Food is the best we've found in the area, always really tasty and piping hot, Kat and Simon are great and really make the experience what it is. I would definitely recommend.

Great little place to eat. Food super nice and good sized protions to. And value for money too

Stunning fresh food would highly recommend to anyone. Would book in advance a very popular place.

The best home made meal in Dalton in Furness well recovered from Well Oiled MCC 😁

Very nice service, and the steak was top notch

Lovely food. Plenty of options. Staff very friendly

This small restaurant food and prices fit the bill, freshly cooked tastes good, prices reasonable. Parking in side streets. Old fashioned service remember their regular diners, not fancy but a tidy clean place to have a home cooked meal. Well worth a visit

Lovely local bistro. Friendly service and good food.

More of a cafe than a restaurant but don't let that deter from the nice food and friendly service

Went to Hartley's for my 60th birthday, food was outstanding as always, staff very friendly, lovely cozy atmosphere definitely recommended....

Went for our annual Xmas meal, food was amazing, staff were super chatty and made the whole evening even better. There was plenty of room to sit comfortably without someone right next to you. The whole night was great.

Went there for a 40th birthday celebration the food was excellent and atmosphere was excellent the only reason I gave it 4 star's was because it was rather cool inside think there were having problems with air conditioning

Work Xmas meal. Large table of approx 20. Fantastic service. Food was fantastic. The Usual high standard.

Lovely little cafe, great food and staff are lovely.

The food was lovely from start to finish,service was bob on couldnt fault any of it booked for new years eve already.

Lovely filling Sunday lunch and great puddings. Smart informal dining room well run. Open Thursday to Sunday, with mix of traditional British cooking and European dishes etc...

Just had a gorgeous all day breakfast, butter and sauces in pots rather than those messy sachets

Brilliant staff, so attentive and great atmosphere! Food was absolutely beautiful, best meal we've had out in a long time! would absolutely recommend popping in if you're passing through Dalton 😁

Excellent quality three course Sunday lunch at a really keen price.

Even though we hadn’t booked and they were fully booked, the lady moved some tables around to fit us in and made us feel welcome. Couldn’t fault the food or service.

Enjoyed a very tasty meal, in relaxed atmosphere .

One of my favourite eating places. Delicious food.

Food was lovely, the fish was beautifully cooked and the chilli chips were amazing. It was also extremely good value for money. Katherine is lovely and her service was impeccable, I highly recommend especially if you looking for something that’s not your bog standard pub food. Thanks again Katherine.

Lovely, fast efficient friendly food fabulous

Beautiful meal as always. Staff always willing to accommodate changes when possible.

Popped in after day in the zoo in ulverstone. Nice food, big portions, cozy and very friendly :)

Beautiful food but a little bit chilly in the room

Lovely place couldn't fault the food 😋

Excellent food as always friendly staff

Lovely food and service. Well worth a visit 🙂

Nowhere near as good as it used to be. Food portions are really small now and it was a little irritating to pay £2.50 for a small glass of coke to see the waitress pour it out of a 2 litre bottle with a £1.95 sticker on it! Found the waitress to be a little prickly, I asked what beers were available and she scoffed/half laughed at me and said they are all on the menu! Won't be returning any time soon, which is sad as we used to love this place.

Gorgeous food, great menu, service and value, definitely going back

Food delicious, prices very reasonable and staff went above and beyond to give me a lovely birthday evening. Thankyou so much.

Great, good food plenty of choice Proper portions of tasty food 😋

Gorgeous food, we had a beef Sunday lunch. I didn’t know wether to eat it or climb it, so much food on the plate. Not expensive at all. The lady serving(forgot her name) was a funny lady but of course she was she was born a Manc . Lol would recommend this restaurant all day long.

Wonderful food, great drinks and lovely staff.

Friendly staff, really nice food

A lovely meal and such lovely staff. I would highly recommend this place 👌

I have been contacted by the owner of this venue asking for an explanation as to why I pnly gave them a one star rating. Perhaps I was a little harsh in my judgement? I have upgraded to two stars. Perhaps it was me? I felt that all the way through the meal we were hurried. The waitress appeared to be in a constant hurry for us to order and we felt pressurised throughout the meal. I got the impression you were short of staff? Not a particularly pleasant end to our day having just driven over 300 miles. I have to say the food was ok. The ambiance was far from conducive however.

We took our son for his 3oth birthday ,lovely staff supurb food their version of a currant favourite salt and pepper chips are unreal excellent house wines .we love this place .Dalton in furness is lucky to have them

Wasn't as impressed as last year.

I am trying to be as objective as possible, writing this review.. 4.5 stars or 5 stars The food was really good, we really enjoyed the vegetarian breakfast. I don't know who's the chef, but he's absolutely dedicated to his craft. The sausages were perfectly cooked, hash browns were crispy, the tomatoes were so juicy! The slices of bread were rightly toasted and adequate butter was provided.. The beans were fine. The vegetarian option included vegetarian bacon which I chose not to have, so I was given 2 extra sausages instead, and I thought, now that's a very generous portion :) The poached eggs were also perfectly cooked.. My only issue was.. The customer service.. It was as if the people there, needed time to warm up to us; which is why I am hesitant to give 4.5 or 5 stars..

Not sure we may have hit a bad time but we were disappointed with our meals. Had the crispy salt and pepper squid- no sign of salt and pepper. My friend had the lasagne which was just that- not like the photo on here which shows salad and chips- just a dish of lasagne. I chose the fish pie which did come with a pleasant salad but because I declined a cheese topping just had mashed potatoes on top- not even browned (evidently they have no grill). Disappointed as had some lovely meals here in the past.

Nice food, nice quiet atmosphere.

Well what can I say, been to alot off places around barrow, Ulverston etc but by far the best around for quality food, price and service a very quaint place no time scale for Being kicked out lol, Catherine I believe to run the place was very friendly and welcoming she was even worried why we had left some food not for the quality just our eyes were bigger than our bellys, would definitely go again without a doubt. Would advise anyone in the area to try this beautiful restaurant 😋

We ate here Friday and the food wasn’t nice at all. Firstly the fork I got given had crusty food on it. Secondly Nowhere on the menu does it say you have the gammon on top of a bed of onions it looked like a full onion had been put on the plate. The chicken tasted abit weird and the sticky toffee pudding was really dry not moist at all. The only good thing was the food was piping hot but I Wouldn’t eat here again

This is a constructive review and not intended to be unfair. We have eaten a few times recently and had a poor experience the last two times, after chatting to my mum and partner who eat here on Saturday, I have decided to leave feedback, because they had a very poor experience and will not return. The food has always been excellent and the chef is top of his game, I know him and he's a really nice guy. But its the customer service preventing haryleys living up to potential. I have worked and trained as a waiter in the past in top end hotels and I understand that front of house is so important and like an art form. It makes or breaks customer satisfaction. I'm aware you don't need silver service or to be called sir or madam in a modest setting but the right attitude should be present. The manner of the lady (the one who seems to be in charge) is very poor. She is quite short with people and huffs and puffs. During restrictions when we visited there was a sign at the door saying wait to be seated. We did so, but then in the middle of lots of customers, sarcastically said ' you can come in you know.' This is unacceptable levels of service. My mum asked for something on Saturday and there was only two tables in. The lady snapped and said 'you'll have to wait.' Ofcourse customers have to wait but surely you can't speak in that way. Surely 'just a few moments ill be with you soon ' would be better. There's lots of choice in furness and people are spending their hard earned money and having a night out they have been looking forward to. At a basic level front of house should be polite at all times. I really like the restaurant and love the chefs food. I am leaving this review as someone thsts passionate about good service and a good dining experience. This is not even really a dig at the lady running front of house. Maybe she is stressed and thats understandable, but the owners should be aware of things and ensuring basic, good front of house manner is present. Book stops with management. Thank you

Excellent food and staff very helpful

Always a treat to eat here. Excellent fresh food well presented in relaxed surroundings. And good value for money.

It's not a big resteraunt but it has a lovely ambiance, staff were very nice, and made you feel like a regular even if you're not. The food was reasonably priced with a good selection of hot and cold dishes. There are no steps, and it has a ramp up to the toilets, there's no parking outside however you can park in the co op car park across the road.

Went for Sunday lunch. Beautiful. Spotlessly clean. Covid protocols observed. Reasonably priced and generous portions.Pleasant, friendly staff. Highly recommended. Thank you.

Beautiful home cooked style food in cosy little restaurant

One of the best breakfast’s we’ve ever had delivered. We will definitely be popping in for lunch/Tea at some point to try the rest of the menu.

Great meal. Great service. Very friendly. Will go again when back in area.

I would highly recommend the restaurant the food was amazing and great value for money.

Great food and friendly service.

Fantastic meal and service. Will be back again

Great food at very reasonable prices .

We visited last month and the meal was delicious. Couldn't fault it, great food, great service, nice surroundings and very reasonably priced. What more could you ask for. I had fishermans pie which wss gerously packed with sea food. We enjoyed it so much that we tried the takeaway service for sunday lunch. Again it was a delicious meal and an affordable £12.50 for 2 courses. We definitely recommend both eat in and take away services. Looking forward to going back.

Lovely food, felt safe with social distancing, hand sanitizing station at the door. Will definitely be returning....

Brilliant service and the food was excellent, would recommend. I had steak diane and my hubby had veg enchilada.

Friendly staff, speedy service and good selection for a visiting vegetarian

Quaint little place, good choice of food which was fresh and delicious. Highly recommended!!

Twas good ...nice atmosphere good menu

Fantastic food and friendly service

Excellent takeaway Sunday roast. Couldn't fault it.

We have just had the Sunday 3 course meal £14.50 for 3 courses. We honestly could not fault it at all. 👌👌

Great food friendly helpful staff.

Lovely Rosst Pork with all the trimmings including apricot stuffing. Was wonderful!

Absolutely beautiful food. Caters well for vegans and the waitress was just lovely. Gave us loads of tips on local places to visit too.

Absolutely fantastic meal in here tonight ! Definitely the best vegetarian dish I've had out ever ! The vegetable pave !! Its delicious, lovely to have something completely different as a veggie! Partner really enjoyed the prawn linguine! Our only disappointment is that we don't live near enough to pop back as we are on holiday! But definitely reccomend this restaurant!

Food was tasty, lots of flavour, and portions generous. Cosy tea room feel to the place.

5 stars - one of the best restaurants I have ever been to food was amazing!

Food was amazing great value for money

Very nice food and service. Would highly recommend.

Lovely food, great service, can't fault it.

As always... fantastic food and excellent customer service...

Excellent food and service staff friendly. Food was plentiful and hot. Didn't have to wait long to be served.

A lovely friendly place to eat.. Lovely friendly staff and tasty food. And it's a little quaint

Excellent service and food to match.😊

This place has always been very good. We've never had a bad meal and the service has always been spot on! I'd like to recommend Chicken in Parma ham as by far this was my favourite meal to date...as always compliments to the Chef and rest of the team. Well done guys

Great food, great service, great prices; what else do you need??

Nice little place, reasonable prices, good food, good drinks menu, nice staff only downside for me was the playlist, which was lovely don't get me wrong and matched the moment. But for me, Nirvana-come as you are, sung gregorian style was making me fall asleep in my panini.

Iv been going to hartleys for about 9 years and never had anything to complain about

Lovely food at a great price and the staff were brilliant.

Only been in the day but each time food has been tasty, recommend for lunch any time, must go in the evening one day.

I decided to bring my mum to Hartleys for something to eat, and what a great decision we made. Food was gorgeous, the staff were lovely and very bubbly with us and always making sure everything was okay. Would highly recommend Hartleys ☺️

Just had a meal here and we can't believe this is the same place as the raving reviews we've been reading. The service was awful and the meal was the worst we've had in any restaurant. My steak was served on a large pond of water and oil, which I had to mop up with 3 serviettes so I could put my salad and chips on the same plate. The steak was tough, lacked flavour and was under seasoned, which all made it unenjoyable to eat. No doubt my dog will enjoy it though as most the steak was wrapped up in a doggy bag. Such a disappointment on a much needed date night. (My salt and chilli chips came in a separate dish and my salad came in a ramekin. They were not on my plate)

Me and the Mrs both had a panini off the takeaway menu and it came with a tray with salad and chips for £5 each. Excellent food and makes a change to bloody pies and pasties. Will be a regular here for the foreseeable!

Excellent food, good prices, pleasant staff

Nice enough food, comfy atmosphere.

Modest town centre restaurant. Food rather disappointing.

Very cosy Restaurant and very friendly staff well worth a visit.

Best meal I've had in ages staff really nice
