High Stile Kitchen in Allerdale

It isn’t every day you get to eat delicious food with a view like this!! Waterfalls. Lakes. Mountains and lots of local ales to sample. So friendly!! So delicious!! So stunning!!

At the Buttermere Court Hotel. Not easy to find if you are not aware. Pay and display car park. Limited selection of food. Local ales. Crowded and unappealing inside with no view. Staff very pleasant but certainly not - 5 star establishment. Choice for food so limited and far too expensive. Standard food, sausages, pies, fish and chips and falafel - a nod to vegetarian guests. Garden nice to sit on a sunny day, however not worth the journey or the price.

There just isn't a more idyllic spot to spend the day. It's not often you get to eat your lunch with lake views like this. Staff and food wonderful

Back exactly one year on for some delicious treats. This must be the most beautiful place for a staycation.

Salmon steak with vegetables, local ale battered Haddock and the most beautiful falafel hummus salad bowl. Stunning!

I had the goats cheese tart and my friends had the salmon. Both beautiful dishes and good value pricing for such a breathtaking setting

Poor menu. All processed fast food. Nothing local. Nice pub. Beautiful location. Nice glass of cider. But food just awful. We nearly didn’t order as just nothing on the menu appealed. Should have followed our instinct and walked away.

Second visit for us and we’ll be back. The view is incredible! It’s a very relaxed place to sit & unwind. The lunch menu is simple and delicious. We both enjoyed our drinks, served with a smile.

Nice beer garden in a stunning location. Bar staff very friendly and helpful. If you get a warm sunny day/evening you’re on to a winner

One year on and the beautiful staff gorgeous food atmosphere and views are even more spectacular. This. is. holiday

This bar and restaurant has the friendliest staff we have ever come across. Food was prompt and utterly delicious also.

Arrived at about 4.45 pm and asked if they were serving food. The answer was yes, I ordered drinks as we had chosen a table but I had to take a menu to the other two in my party who were sitting outside. On my (quick) return I waited in a queue while the lad who was dealing with my order was pulling pints. Once he had time for me I had to remind him about our initial conversation, food etc. I was told they closed the kitchen at 5pm, but he would ask if they could fill my order, like it was a special favour. I had ordered two paninis and some ice cream. Then I had to remind him about our drinks, a coke and two lattes, which I was duly served and took outside. After a wait of approx 15 minutes, remember TWO paninis, it arrived. Not exactly exciting, accompanied by some tired looking pea shoots, a couple of sun dried tomato pieces from a jar, and a slug of balsamic scattered over the top. No ice cream. Waited another 15 minutes then decided to chase up the ice cream, which was handed to me over the bar in a small pot, and with a tea spoon. All this for £32.50, give or take a few pence. At least the staff were friendly, shame the efficiency was not at the same level. My recommendation; go to the little cafe opposite, but they close at 5pm.

This is a perfect place to eat or relax after a day out in Buttermere! Me my brother and my dad stayed in Syke Farm for the week and didn’t have any signal, so High Stile was the place to go! We had meals here or sometimes just a drink but either way it was perfect. It was very welcoming and Comfortable. The staff here are very kind and will always ask you how your day was ect, They were amazing! The food was also very nice! I would definitely recommend coming here if you are out and about in Buttermere!

Had the pleasure of visiting just about every night whilst camping at Sykes Farm. Just myself with 2 children. We were made to feel very welcome by the bar staff, they really were a credit to the pub as they seemed to take time for everyone and offered some good advise on the surrounding area. Had food on two occasions and the kids enjoyed theirs as did I. Will definitely return.

Following a walk around Buttermere we called in here for a quick lunch, right next to where we parked which was handy. I have eaten here before however it was a different name and has since been really nicely updated and refurbished, very contemporary now and a lovely place. Even the loos were nicely done out! The restaurant wasn’t busy when we arrived as it had just come lunchtime, plenty of staff on hand which was good and they were certainly kept busy cleaning the windows and mirrors, which was nice to see as elsewhere most would be sat around on their phones. All the staff we spoke with and who looked after us were attentive and pleasant. Food was ordered at the bar, two panini’s, a fries and some sweet potato fries. The food arrived in good time and was delicious, the panini’s came with a side salad and the fries were both cooked perfectly, the seasoning on the sweet potato fries was delicious! I’d certainly recommend if you are in the area and will most certainly return when we are on the Buttermere walk again!

The food was excellent and the service was exceptional. Really friendly atmosphere and the workers were approachable and friendly. Only criticism would be the Steak Pie which, though delicious, was very small and against half a plate of chunky chips looked even smaller. Tasted excellent though! Would definitely recommend with amazing views surrounding the pub.

No spot better for a group of friends looking to explore. Food is so delicious, well priced and staff so incredibly friendly. There is no other place like it

We ate there both nights of a recent stay at the Buttermere Court hotel and enjoyed the experience. For example the salmon with cheesy potato stacks was tasty and well cooked. As with the hotel the team are great, on their game, friendly and helpful.

Lunch and Dinner over a series of days. Everything we tried was absolutely delicious. Local pie. Local Cumberland meats. Local ice-cream. Local Ales. I wish we could bring back a taste of the Lake District. And the views!!!

We stopped here for lunch after a morning walk around the lake. The views are absolutely stunning! A selection of simple, tasty dishes were on offer and we certainly didn’t leave feeling hungry! There was a wide selection of drinks on offer too. The service...

Stopped into High Stile Kitchen after a walk around Buttermere with the dog. Perfect place to relax and grab some tasty food. The staff were really welcoming and attentive, and the food was super tasty. Definitely going to stop here after our next walk around...

Reminds me of my favourite pub back home -- just with much better views! Expected a bigger bill for a fancy place and big portions. Nice staff.

Food was great, we had falafel very tasty and fresh. Staff were very friendly and helpful, given that they were busy they they seemed to have time for the customets

Friendly staff who gave good beer and food advice, the local steak pie and chips was fabulous. Great service all evening 👍🏻

Hours passed by as we tucked into wines, local ales, Cumbrian cuisine and watched the world (busy tourists) go by. A sun trapped terrace with lake views and so many surrounding wainwrights. We echo that of so many with the breakfast being the best accommodation...

Stopped for a hot bowl of lentil and bacon soup after a lovely walk around Buttermere. Warmed us up and really hit the spot. Get a table (remember the number) and order and pay at the bar. Dog friendly, as everything in the area is.

Really great place to eat after a day walking and swimming. Haddock and chips was lovely, crispy batter and perfectly cooked fish and the baked salmon and steak pie were good too. Good portion size and just enough room for sticky toffee pudding and a...

Great tasty food, cooked to perfection. Customer service was great, staff friendly and will definitely be returning.

Warm welcome stunning views and excellent food. We would definitely recommend visiting. The staff were really friendly too.

You have to visit here if nothing else for the views, they are to die for. But the food is also amazing so tasty and a great choice.

During the course of our stay we tried every lunch outlet in Buttermere and this was by far the best. Great fresh and healthy food and the best views!! Breakfast also the best we have ever had at a hotel. Each day the girls would...

We were undecided on how to best spend this uniquely sunny day and then my wife saw a poster for this place in the hotel we were staying at. such a brilliant choice. The lake takes around 1.5 hours to circle and the food afterward...

No BBQ this time but a beautiful meal had by all in the main restaurant. Staff here are just SO friendly and WiFi surprisingly good.

Great place with a lovely view and superb staff. Food choices for all the family at reasonable prices. Beautiful inside also and posh toilets

Chilled out place with sensational food and top quality food. There is something for everyone Salmon Haddock Cumberland Sausage and Mash Halloumi Burger etc etc etc

A really beautiful place both inside and out with an elegant feel but relaxed friendly style service. Clearly very good quality food served by friendly staff

Visited for lunch 30th July 2022. Not much choice on the menu but the food was really good. Amazing burger. The location is stunning even when it rained! Would recommend. Great to see so many dogs in the place. Prices were a bit steep but...

I visited for my best friend's wedding, and the food was amazing! So much choice and great value for money. Would definitely recommend!

Keep coming back, we just love this place!! The menu is fantastic, the staff are brilliant. And if its a nice day, the beer garden is just the place to be!!

Really lovely find for walkers and locals in Buttermere. Cosy and classic, the food was amazing and staff were very helpful.

A well loved and cared for venue. Brilliant food and brilliant decoration. Staff kind keen well trained

Stayed here on business three times already and service is so quick and easy. Can sit in the garden or on terrace or inside or even take food to the room. Views are ace and service is second to none. Salmon is beautiful and always...

Such wonderfully friendly staff made our reunion so very special. We had previously hosted our yearly get together else where but delighted we had stumbled across this special place

The food the furnishings and the staff just keep getting better. It is such a joy to see somewhere you had fond memories become even more enjoyable to visit.

Our daughter and new son-in-law had their wonderful wedding reception catered by High Stile Kitchen at the Buttermere Court Hotel in June, after getting married at St James Church, Buttermere. I don't often write reviews on Tripadvisor (though I always give feedback directly at a...

Great to see a nice local menu. Cumberland sausage and mash. Local steak pie. Local beef burgers. Local ales. Marvelous. Enjoyed by the whole family

Nice to see the same faces AND a new yummy menu with lots to love. The new terrace looks very swish and we have been told they now offer BBQs too!!!!

Great spot in the garden in the Sun. I originally stopped for a drink but ended up eating. Wasn’t expecting fabulous but that’s what I got. Had the chicken and chorizo burger it was amazing, very fast service too but I did just order when...

Ate in here most nights. Every night was brill. The menus were perfect for us and enjoyed eating in a different area each night. nice to see somewhere with experienced staff and top service.

What a great time to visit. Not a cloud in the sky and a delicious BBQ. We ate local ice cream and tried nearly all of the local ales. It was a good job we were staying in the hotel. Top tip - take a...

Absolutely packed today in Buttermere and they all were headed for one place - the famous beer garden. Nice Jubilee touches with the Jubilee Ale, bunting, music and mini UK flags in our burgers. Very sweet

Great location with nice views. Service extremely friendly, helpful staff . Food is delicious and well made. I had halloumi burger which was best halloumi ever tried! Worth visit again.

Beautiful food served all day and the staff are so friendly. Place is spotless . Cosy with breathtaking views

Good food, fantastic staff, wonderful location. Simple, filling meals served promptly at reasonable prices. Easy going atmosphere doesn't need dressing up for, a mixture of families, hill walkers and passing visitors creates a friendly hubbub which quietens in the evening. Staff were attentive and friendly...

Excellent food, great choice of menu, cooked fresh ! Daily specials. Excellent team, very friendly, helpful staff… their customer service is wonderful to see!

Wine, fabulous food and a lake view from every sinle window. Beautiful staff and such a welcoming atmosphere. Delighted that we selected to celebrate at this remarkable place. Sorry if you stayed up for us. We could have sat in the restaurant all night.

In the evenings I would sit and enjoy the delicious local food on offer, talk to the exceptionally friendly staff and look at the fells from the window planning my trip for the following day

We've eaten here a couple of times recently. Prior to this our last visit was about five years ago and on that occasion we decided not to stay to eat, as the beer we were served wasn't up to standard and the decor seemed very...

A very lovely bar and restaurant serving one of the most delicious burgers I've ever had. The double butcher burger was extremely tasty, the fries were well seasoned and the relish was a perfect accompaniment to the beef. The girl working behind the bar and...

Stayed here with my girls and they thought the menu was top. fair pricing to for a very nice place. nice staff

We regularly walk around Crummock water and always end up back here for lunch. This time we thought we had walked into the wrong restaurant. It has been completely transformed and looks great so a good choice for our friends visit. They were impressed. Very...

... and that is no exaggeration. The food is simple but beautifully done. Great hearty dishes. Salmon and Vegetables, Cumberland Sausages and Mash, Pie of the Day, Salad Bowls, that kind of thing. Inside is really very nice like something you would find in a...

My wife surprised me with a activity in Keswick and then brought me here for a stroll and some food. This restaurant bar has been fitted out to a very high standard and serves beautiful local pub food. We probably tried a few more local...

Fantastic restaurant right in the heart of Buttermere. We decided to eat here after a long day of walking out of convenience, so pleased we did. The staff were so friendly and the restaurant was clean and inviting. That's before you even get to the...

After a wet hike we were delighted to find this little gem. It was very busy but the staff went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and looked after waiting for a table. Jack especially had amazing customer service and really made...

Moving tables, helping to dry our wet gear, getting a bowl for the dog, all food coming out piping hot, amazing quality and at the same time, topping up jugs of water and catering amazingly to dietary requirements. The staff here are second to none...

Our walk quickly turned very wet and so we were thankful to get inside the warm pub. Comfort food and hot chocolates (followed by a few local pints!) more than hit the spot.

Right off the lake path and absolutely delicious. Staff were absolutely excellent and covid safety still very much cared for

Wonderful place, amazing service, great food. Cannot praise the way we were treated. We will go back.

We walked around Buttermere, which is just beautiful. We had the added bonus of watching Tom Cruise para gliding :-) finished with dinner at High Stiles. The food was delicious, large portions and presented in a very pretty manner. Would highly recommend a visit to...

Food is tasty, great range of local ales staff are so welcoming, scenery is second to none. We just love it here.

We stayed in Buttermere for a few days and ate at High Stile several times. The food was really tasty and the location is unbeatable!

Stopped quickly for a pint and a sarnie after walking around Buttermere Lake. Not as attractive visually as its neighbour, The Bridge Inn, which is a proper historic bar, but nice sizeable garden. Tuna melt and smoked salmon bagel were both good, and although the...

I wanted something light and healthy but hearty too and they created this halloumi salad for me. It was absolutely delicious and excellent value for money. Staff were beyond friendly. Exceptional customer service thank you.

I cannot fault this updated eatery. The food is excellent quality with a wide range to suit everybody including excellent children’s deal with portions to satisfy the hungriest of walkers. The absolute highlight of this place are the outstanding staff team. Every single one of...

The food was great, menu was limited and portions were good and service was great!.. Better lighting needed in restaurant.

This was an exceptional restaurant! I had the pleasure of staying at the Buttermere Court Hotel and so was lucky to have this downstairs. Seating was great, staff friendly and helpful and food was AMAZING! I loved the melted camembert, freshly baked cookies, fish and...

We stayed at the adjoining Buttermere Court Hotel for nearly two weeks and ate at High Stile nearly every day. Portions are generous, food is fresh and the staff are just lovely. It’s clearly a popular destination for people living or staying in the area...

The location is amazing, the view from the bar is absolutely epic and 10 minutes walk away from loads of hikes! The staff there are genuinely good people, they are super relaxed, friendly, we had a good laugh with them & they could not do...

We visited High Stile on a recent trip to the Lakes and we were very impressed. The garden is a delight and the food was just what we needed after a morning climbing fells. It is very dog friendly and the staff and service were...

Went here for tea as resident at the hotel. The food is English pub fare and really well cooked with big portions. We had Steak pie with home made chips, peas and gravy and I couldn’t eat it all. Good quality meat in the pie...

During our stay we enjoyed lunch and evening meals. Salmon, Cumberland sausage and melted camembert were our favourites

We had such a lovely meal here! It’s such a beautiful place in a beautiful setting and the whole staff and team were very accommodating and provided a great service! We would definitely come back again!

We had a number of great meals here during our stay in Buttermere. The menu is fantastic, the staff are really helpful and the views are unrivalled. Can’t wait to come back.

Great weather great food and great staff we will definitely come back here. The goats cheese tartlet and homemade haddock especially delicious. Very covid friendly. Very reasonably priced

The perfect place to enjoy good food, with friendly and helpful staff. Indoor or outdoor seating depending upon the weather. Good menu choice at sensible pricing.

After spending a crazy amount of time attempting to get into Buttermere over the boiling hot Bank Holiday Weekend, we were irritated and absolutely starving when we finally managed to park. We just stumped upon the high stile kitchen, and we were welcomed by a...
