Lancrigg Restaurant in South Lakeland

Beautiful location, lovely food, very friendly and helpful staff and really nice rooms. And very dog friendly too.

We parked here to go for a hike. Parking fee can then be used as credit towards coffee, tea, sodas. We decided to order a couple of lunch items too… garden salad and a leek pie. Both were very good and reasonably priced.

Great place to park for Helm Crag. Lovely cafe. hot drink / juice included with the parking cost.

Cutest place with great coffee and the cakes 🤤

A wonderful wedding venue. We (@priceofmypig) played for a wedding ceilidh here recently. A great space with fantastic staff

We have absolutely loved our stay for the past couple of nights at Lancrigg. The staff were all a delight and so helpful throughout our stay. The hotel was in a great location with wonderful walks from the doorstep.

So far the best place I’ve stayed in in Lake District and this is my 7th visit. Tucked away from the main road, but only 20 min walk away from Grasmere. Fab rooms, fab food, amazing staff, and who would have no to waking up to this view?? Will definitely come back here. Absolute gem.

Katrina and the team hosted our perfect wedding.

HAVE BEEN COMING TO THE LANCRIGG FOR DECADES, WHAT A SUPER LOCATION LOOKING TOWARDS SOUR MILK GHYLL

Just used their non resident parking deal and did an 11km circular hike. Then redeemed my parking fee in their poets bar. Great place to start and finish our hike, and nice to have a drink at the end.

Went for lunch but the food was mediocre despite very high prices. Chairs and tables were also very basic. Very disappointing.

Muy agradable, restaurante y entorno muy relajante y acogedor.Comida realmente muy diversa y muchas opciones de calidad.Animado bar cosey donde comenzamos con bebidas, luego hasta el restaurante con una chimenea.Excelente selección de vinos con una mejor explicación de los vinos y regiones.Cuarta vez hemos comido aquí.Gracias por una ocasión especial

Tuvimos la peor comida en Grasmere aquí y comimos todas las noches durante una semana. Pedí la lubina y obtuve la mitad de un filete. Era pequeño, delgado y patético. No dije nada en la noche ya que era el dueño que nos servía, así que, ¿qué sentido tiene? Podía ver claramente cómo se veía la basura e incluso me preguntó si quería verduras adicionales. No estaban sirviendo el puré de apio que lo acompañaba normalmente ya que no querían ningún desperdicio ya que la cocina iba a estar cerrada por un par de días. Blimey, ¿cuánto cuesta el apio? ? ? No puedo comer papas, así que mi pequeño pez se veía muy solo en el plato. No estoy seguro si este es un tamaño de porción normal o si normalmente está reforzado por una gran carga de apio. Y tenga mucho cuidado al pedir vino por copa. Solo teníamos un par de copas, pero es una lista corta y algunos de los vinos eran # 18 un vaso por 125 ml. Solo puedo imaginar que están tratando de estafar a los turistas extranjeros. . . . así que realmente no te molestes y ahorres tu dinero para los encantadores lugares en Grasmere. El tipo que lo dirige está claramente más interesado en sí mismo que en cuidar a los clientes. No es una forma de ejecutar un negocio exitoso. No tiene ni idea.

Popped in for lunch after trecking up to Easedale Tarn. Pleasant surroundings, not too busy when we visited. Something for everyone on the menu. Not the cheapest of places to eat and portions aren't the largest but it was really tasty.

Lovely food made with local ingredients and lots of vegetarian/vegan options. Filling breakfasts to get you up the hills!

We were meeting some friends in the area and they suggested we meet here for dinner. Having looked at the website which says that food is served all day we thought it would be the perfect place after a day of exploring the area. We tried to book a table online but the online booking doesn’t work. We arrived at 8:20pm to be told that the restaurant and bar is “reservations only” for any food and that last orders were at 8:15pm so we could not eat. The restaurant was empty though so we asked if the empty tables were all reserved and the answer was no. When we asked if they could be flexible as we had a young child with us we were told no and that “all their marketing” said that you could not walk in and eat. There is nothing on the website to suggest this - it says that food is served all day and it is the ideal location after a long day of wasting. We were obviously surprised and disappointed but the man who told us this was then unbelievably rude and then refused to even serve us for a drink after we questioned this policy. Such a shame as the location and views are lovely. If it’s reservations only then the website should say this so that people don’t make the trip here to be turned away.

Given the high quality reviews of dinner at the Lancrigg and fatigue after the days’ activities, we ate dinner for 2 of the 3 nights we stayed at the hotel. Over those 2 visits, we tried the lamb burger, the steak, risotto and the chicken/cheese salad, as well as a variety of starters and desserts. Everything was really tasty, nicely seasoned, and the meat in all cases cooked perfectly. The only negative comment was that (except for the generous ice cream and sorbet plates) the portions were a little small for the price. Obviously, this is driven in part by the reputation of the kitchen and the location. However, I was charged nearly £3 for a blackcurrant and soda which really is excessive! We found better value in Grasmere for our other meals. To end on the most positive note…. We had Becky as our server for both nights. Her professionalism, knowledge of the menu and unfailing friendliness were flawless. We plan to return to the hotel and will probably want to eat dinner again in the restaurant, although I will drink tap water.

Lovely setting, beautiful grounds. Inside it's charming, relaxed modern country feel to it. Went for dinner, very friendly and welcoming, they didn't have a wine on the list, so very kindly offered us a better one at that price, food is where they're juggling - the menu can't decide if it's easy, casual eating or more serious. Lamb burger was dry, but the chips were excellent, friend's soup was complex and aiming a lot higher. Definitely go, worth a visit.

We've stayed at The Lancrigg on a couple of occasions and each meal has been superb. Plenty of variety in the menu, very pleasant background music too! :)

Very lovely estate with great play area for the kids. Got to see a red squirrel, very magical. Cafe great when coming down from a hard days walk up helm crag. Could do with GF options on menu.

¿Dónde has estado? Durante los últimos 10 años hemos estado en toda el área durante nuestras visitas anuales y nunca antes hemos logrado una combinación de comida y ambiente tan buena como esta. Es un poco fuera de lo común y con solo 20 coberturas, las primeras visitas también se dirigen a los residentes del hotel, creo que asegurar una mesa puede no ser fácil, lo descubriré lo suficientemente pronto como buscaré un rápido retorno más adelante. semana. El ascenso desde Grasmere después de un día de vacaciones puede parecer un castigo innecesario, pero será bien recompensado. Si tiene suerte, el sol iluminará Easedale y se maravillará con la hermosa vista desde la mesa de la ventana en el bar con un vaso fresco de la muy bien afilada Fell IPA. El comedor conserva la sensación de un hogar elegante, ya queUna vez fue mientras daba un toque fresco con toques decorativos modernos. Disfrutamos de una rica y robusta calle de Joseph, más atrevida de lo que suele ofrecer el Rh ne, pero gratificante con un poco de tiempo para respirar y algunos alimentos abundantes según lo recomendado por el gerente. El entrante de pato ahumado fue generoso y lleno de sabor. Seguí con una modesta pero perfectamente apropiada cazuela, que recuerda la cocina rústica francesa. El filete teriyaki tenía un sabor sutil, lo que le daba a la carne la oportunidad de brillar cuando se cocinaba raro, magnífico. No debería hablar sobre los chips de trufa, pero ¡guau! . . . Otros establecimientos, por favor tomen nota. Cerré con una tabla de quesos que podía alimentar a dos sin ningún problema. Combiné esto con un vaso de oporto para preparar la comida, aunque fue servida en un vaso de chupito, pero no estoy preocupada por inclinar mi copa de vino redundante. También una nota sobre el servicio de vinos, fue agradable poder servir nuestro propio vino sin intentar apresurarnos a través de la botella por parte del personal ansioso. La comida es espectacularmente buena en el contexto local. El servicio de restaurante es relajado y atractivo, y es posible que tenga suerte y lleve un ascensor de vuelta cuesta abajo hacia el pueblo. Profundice y avise al personal ya que el servicio no está incluido en la factura. Mi consejo es llegar pronto, ya que replicar esto de manera consistente con la inevitabilidad de la rotación de personal será un desafío, pero espero con ansias el próximo año.

We parked, we walked and we returned for lunch! There is nothing like a brisk walk up a mountain side with beautiful views and no rain to help work up an appetite. As always, we received a warm, very friendly greeting and we were served with some very tasty “slippers” to be washed down with a hot cuppa coffee or a pint. No crumbs left on our plates. Thank you! This place really is like a second home to us!

Dropped in for hot drinks to warm up after a braising walk to Sourmilk Gill very warm welcome served hot tea & hot chocolate beautiful grounds with lovely views even on a misty rainy lake district day. Great place to visit before or after a walk in this area.

Great place for a visit after walk. Superb views with outside seating. Friendly staff and excellent food

Wir sind eher zufällig auf das Langcrigg Restaurant gestoßen als wir Anfang Dezember in Grasmere waren. Die Anfahrt war etwas abenteuerlich, aber vertrauen Sie dem Navi, es ist der richtige Weg. Tolle Lage, schönes altes Haus und ein wundervolles Ambiente.

Nice surroundings, attractive menu but there was a lack of attention to detail about the food and service that we had for lunch. It seemed to promise more but the warm sandwiches were tepid, the vegetable crisps tasted a little old and they'd run out of the fennelslaw that was supposed to be served as a side with all sandwiches. The drinks were OK. Service was polite but not special.

Extremely friendly and accommodating Italian bar man made our visit memorable. Excelllent drinks, excellent view highly recommend a visit. Will def return

Lovely location but vegetarian food and service poor. I ordered an aubergine dish which when it did eventually came was a slice of aubergine not cooked properly accompanied by two slices of sweetcorn and a tablespoon of beans. This was priced at £19.00 which was totally overpriced and unimaginative. This used to be a good vegetarian hotel but would not book a meal there again.

I live nearby in Ambleside and I visited Lancrigg many years ago when we were both vegetarian and enjoyed it. Now neither of us are vegetarian and wow, this place really has gone from good to great! My partner and I had an amazing meal there tonight - he had the chorizo burger and said it was one of the best burgers he has ever had. To put this in context he is a serious foodie, loves a good burger and is half Spanish so he really does know a good chorizo burger. I had the venison and cranberry sausages and they were seriously delicious. We were both taken with the salad accompaniments which were imaginative and tasty. Despite our choices, faithful vegetarians should not be put off. There were still two excellent sounding vegetarian meals and one vegan meal on the menu. Our peri peri prawn starter was also lovely and our blueberry roly poly dessert was divine - surprisingly light and delicate. The service was incredibly warm, friendly and efficient. The restaurant area and lounge were a perfect mix of traditional features and modern furnishings - I found myself wanting to move in! I really could not fault this experience. Lancrigg is a little off the beaten track but honestly, make the effort. You will be rewarded and we will definitely be back!

We had a superb views from our well laid out and decorated room. The staff were exceptionally friendly and we enjoyed meals here. Without doubt we will return. Thank you.

We have visited three times now - only due to passing directly through the gardens whilst walking back from the fells.

We loved the food here but found the restaurant lacking in atmosphere - will eat on patio next time round.

This place is in a beautiful setting and we came across it at the end of a long walk on a hot sunny day so I was delighted to order a pint of beer. I was then given a lecture by the barman/owner? that "we are a country hotel, not a pub and we do not want men standing round the bar with pints in their hands. I serve schooners which are less than a pint!" The schooner turned out to be an ugly green glass that looked as though it was from Poundland and although not a pint it did not stop him charging nearly £5 for it! I would rather go without rather than be patronised by some pompous snob.

Visited this restaurant on the 21st May not realising it was no longer vegetarian. There was only one member of staff on duty covering reception, bar, dining room and the terrace. She rushed around from pillar to post trying to do everything on her own. The only appearance from "management" was to stroll in to the dining room to light the candles!

We stopped here on walks back from Easedale Tarn and Helm Crag and found the lunchtime food to be delicious It was such a beautiful location which more people should visit for the food, service and surroundings. Overall a brilliant experience!!

Good place to stop for refreshments and loo break! If on way to or from helm crag or easdale tarn. I’m not a fan of huge coffees but They were really small, especially for the price

I had an excellent lunch in the restaurant overlooking the garden and the beautiful view. The soup was pea and wild garlic and the garlic was sourced from the woodland. Each time I visit this beautiful peaceful spot I am not disappointed. A wonderful place to return to again and again. The atmosphere is relaxed yet energising. The bar is also a lovely space in which to eat and drink. On going improvements are taking shape in the hotel and grounds. Try not to miss this experience!

Walked the Easedale Road to the beck, wasn't up for the Tarn walk too hot today with the dogs and an elderly Uncle, we decided to try out the food at The Lancrigg. I had read the reviews before and knew it was a bit hit and miss but they cater well for veggies......The view from the front of the hotel is wonderful. We grabbed the last free table outside. Only two people working hence a queue for the bar and one waiting on tables. By the time we got to order there had been a power cut apparently in Grasmere sub station. To cut a long story short we remained calm, thought we would be returning to Grasmere still hungrey, so we sipped our drinks and took in the wonderful setting. Finally the waiter said we could have something simple like a pannini with chips, this we did and the food was fresh and enjoyable, staff very pleasant but Fawlty Towers service. Saying all this we would return just to soak up the setting simply sublime.

This review is based on the online reservation service only, not the restaurant service or its food.

We had a 16 mile hike planned for a rainy, spring Saturday, going from Ambleside to Grasmere then to the Easdale Tarn and back to Grasmere then Ambleside.

the chef was responsive to my request for low calorie options and even added egg and sweet potatoe to the breakfast menu for my benefit. On one evening i chose from the excellent vegan menu and had a wonderful courgette and avocado starter and stuffed red peppers main; on another evening i had a tasty carrot and corriander soup and a delicioius sea bream in lemon sauce with a side dish of delicately cooked carrots, courgettes and mange touts. satisfying and nutritious meals that did pile on the pounds!

Starting a business is never easy, starting a business, refurbishment and landscaping is a big ask, but this was our second visit since November 2017, and the team are working well, they understand the importance of customer service, they genuinely know how to welcome and ensure that you enjoy a pleasant relaxed dining experience, the enthusiasm from the staff is both genuine and palpable, our party enjoyed a wide selection from the menu, it was all delicious and to a high standard, we will certainly return.

We stumbled upon this place when out walking and stopped for tea. Decided to return for dinner, as the chef specialises in Vegetarian Cuisine. The charming, youthful Italian Manager offered to pick us up from the centre of Grasmere, to save us driving back to dine.

We saw a restaurant sign on the way to our walk and decided to follow it for a drink and lunch. It turned out to be quite a find. A country house hotel and restaurant at the foot of the mountain, in the forrest overlooking the valley. lunch was served that day in the charming little ‘Poet’s bar’. We had the Sunday roast and it was the best roast-beef I’ve had in the UK. Cooked trough British style but so moist and tender it was absolutely delicious. Stylish, eye for detail, timeless decor and great selection of wines. Great and friendly service. We liked it all so much we booked it for Christmas. Perfect starting point for many enchanting walks.

Lovely little cafe out of the way from touristy spots.

You will need to navigate small winding roads but it will be worth the five minutes drive off the main road.

Pleased to see the breakfast menu is the same as in June as it truly is excellent , Have had an evening meal most evenings and they have been very nice

Went for dinner here a few weeks ago, as their website said they had an 8 course vegan tasting menu - something you don't stumble upon often. Unfortunately, they had just taken it off the menu but the chef kindly improvised and it was one of the best vegan dining experiences we've had! We were really impressed with the quality and ingenuity of all of the dishes. I'm sure the non veggie dishes are all lovely as well. Food, service and setting were impeccable, and we'll definitely come back.

This rather pretentious restaurant has plenty of vegetarian and gluten-free options, but, frankly, the cuisine is bland and the portions meagre. Before a course is even brought to the table, you are primed with the conceit that chef Gary McDermott has perfectly blended all flavours that form the tasting menu. This is designed to both fuel your expectations and neutralize any judgement the customer might wish to make. Unfortunately the message of intimidation was not well received by one of our party who pointed out that the dish she was served bore no resemblance to the soufflé promised by the menu; furthermore, it hadn’t tasted good. Pearls were clutched, and Chef was consulted on the matter after which the customer was informed that she was wrong and that modern menus can be confusing. The rather ugly scene that ensued was exacerbated by the supercilious attitude of the waiter who seemed unable, and indeed unwilling, to defuse the situation. We were informed that since this dish had not been enjoyed, it was pointless to direct further delicacies to such an unrefined palate. This stance was maintained despite our assurances that other members of the party had enjoyed the food. In response to our rather stunned expressions, this was translated for us in more direct terms – we were getting no dessert, and it was clear they wanted us to leave. I have never been subject to such haughty and disdainful treatment which postured as customer service. The idyllic surroundings of the restaurant, nestling under Easdale Tarn, do not appear to be matched by tranquillity within its walls.

Came here as I'd been looking for a vegetarian hotel for a fussy vegetarian boyfriend who is sick of pizza and risotto. The meal was brilliant - we had the 5 course menu and slightly regret not going for 8 because everything was so tasty.Great wine. Great service, with friendly waiters. We ended up not staying but I wish we had as the place felt very special

We walked past the hotel on our way to Helm Cragg in the morning and called in on our way back for a nice cool beer. Decided to go back for dinner in the evening. Wow! We are so glad we did. The food is spectacular there is no other word to describe it. This is a Michelin Star standard restaurant. The decor is a little quirky but the food and service are first class We had a five course dinner and every course was exceptional. From the canopies to the coffee at the end. We were staying in Grasmere but it is a lovely ten minute walk out of the village and well worth the effort. The hotel set in the most beautiful grounds will fantastic views of the fells. It is a must if you are staying in or around Grasmere.

One of our favourite walks takes us through the gardens of this Hidden Gem and we were surprised to find it under new ownership when we visited Grasmere last week. It is located in the most beautiful setting and we were lucky enough to choose a perfect summers evening to dine outside. The new café bar is a great idea for walkers too. Top notch food and the most friendly service around - good luck guys - we'll see you next time. Oh and Gus the dog loved your garden too.

Stopped in here whilst touring the Lakes to have a cup of tea. The atmosphere and service was brilliant. The menu at a great choice of veggie and vegan options which means we will definitely be returning to try them out. The views were breathtaking, we used the permissive paths from the hotel to join a local bridleway. Well with a visit!

Just had a wonderful meal, the attention to detail is incredible, hats off to both the the chef and staff, a truly unique food experience.

We ended up staying at the lancrigg by accident, looking for a two night stay to round off our honeymoon! Wow were we impressed! We knew better and didn't eat here the first night which ended up being such a shame. If you stay here, eat here. If you stay in grasmere, stomach the 10 minute walk here because the food is good! We have eaten at various Michelin starred restaurants but this place is special and people should be queuing out of the doors for this chef's food! A lot of the food is vegetarian, but don't be put off by that, the lamb is easily one of the best lamb dishes I have eaten!! By the time I thought of pictures, all I have to share with you is the petit fours! But they look great the same....

Having completed a family walk up Helme Cragg and in need of a little refreshment, we thought we'd walk into Grasmere and find somewhere to eat. That was until we stumbled across the Lancrigg Hotel on the way, looked at the menu, liked the peaceful setting (away from the hustle and bustle of the village), and decided to have a light lunch. And what a delight. A warm welcome from the staff with friendly chit chat, super quick service, and very tasty food. Looked at the evening dinner menu whilst we were there and can't wait to return. I almost want to keep this place to myself.

What a dreadful shame that this once lovely hotel with its wonderful vegetarian menu is not vegetarian any more. To put frois gras on the menu will ensure that no self respecting vegetarian will ever eat there again.

We had been up in the hills all day and stopped here for tea as we walked back into Grasmere. Sat outside with a lovely view of the valley. Delicious gluten free brownies, still molten inside. Good tea and juice. Friendly service.

Just returned home after a lovely night out at Lancrigg Restaurant. The service was friendly and efficient and the food was certainly prepared with skill and passion and served in a great setting. The final course was delivered by the chef himself to check that everything throughout the night had been to our liking. Thoroughly recommend this place if you are looking for a place delivering food and service above the average. The prices were ok considering the quality of the food and service.

My partner and I stumbled across this place whilst out walking and decided to stop by for a drink.

I have just returned from a trip to Grasmere and Rydal and visited Lancrigg for the first time since it stopped being a wholly vegetarian hotel. I wanted to write here as soon as possible to say that not only is the food as good as ever (for a vegan) but the personal care I received from the staff was quite outstanding and very refreshing. As there were very few vegan option on the menu and I explained that I'd be eating there each evening, the chefs very kindly went out of their way to prepare for me a specially-designed vegan delight each evening. Each dish was a work of art - a truly beautlful creation - and was clearly made with so much love and care. I was very touched that so much effort was made to feed one hungry vegan! The staff were all exceptionally kind and friendly and the first evening I was there (which was Bank Holiday Monday) one of the waiters even drove me back to where I was staying a few miles away as I couldn't get a taxi or bus!! To go beyond the call of duty like that (and after me they also drove other guests home) is rare and beautiful and deserves the highest praise. Lancrigg remains one of the most beautiful spots on earth and you don't need to stay there to enjoy its magnificent grounds or eat in its lovely eateries. If you haven't already been - go!

The food in restaurant was really tasty but the rooms were cold, dank and rather old fashioned. They did try to charge us twice too!

Lovely food and didnt miss out on anything for being vegan or veggie here! My husband and I both had the 8 course tasting menu and were so impressed. Would highly recommend!

This is vegetarian food at its best.

Loads of history here, Wordsworths et al. Extensive gardens. Great place to explore the local valleys and fells. Our bedroom was very large, clean etc. We were very well looked after. Food was superb. While this is a long-standing vegetarian hotel; the new owners will be introducing meat onto the menu soon (see their website). I find this sad. I can stay pretty much anywhere and get vegetarian food, but as a veggie there is something wonderful about eating without the smell of cooked flesh in the room.

I enjoyed the food here and the friendly, unhurried service. It was lovely to sit looking out at the fantastic view of the fells beyond. As a vegetarian it was quite something to have full choice from the menu; that added to the sense of relaxation and ease. Absolutely delicious food; I stayed six nights and didn't have a bad meal (and I ate a different thing each evening, except for a pudding I especially enjoyed). Wonderful. It's such a shame it will be changing from vegetarian as of April 2017. I chose the hotel to stay at for its vegetarian stance and would have stayed again, but I won't now.

If you are hiking the Coast to Coast, Lancrigg is a true oasis, a break from the desert of Full English, pub grub, or pot noodles. The menu is inventive, the food tasty and varied. The Farinata di Ceci and Butternut squash & hazelnut puff pastry roulade were delicious.

Could not fault the food or service it was amazing the entire evening. It's rare to find hotels that even cater to vegans, nevermind one that has such amazing and thought out food. Would highly recommend to anyone in the area.

We enjoyed a lovely evening meal here with our Vegan Daughter.The service was very friendly and there was alot to eat.

we went up to lancrigg hotel vedgertain for coffee and flap jack it under new mangerment not bad the view to die for

Lancrigg Kitchen is a vegetatian/vegan restaurant which also does afternoon teas, ice creams, etc. and is situated on the permissive footpath to Helm Crag just outside the bustling Grasmere yet could be miles from anywhere - so quiet and with views over Easedale to Blea Rigg. The building itself is interesting with unusual round chimneys - once owned by and renovated by Wordsworth according to the website. So far we've only been for afternoon teas but we'll be back for lunch or evening meal.

This was our second stay in Grasmere this year. We didn't stay at the Lancrigg Hotel but wanted to try the vegetarian restaurant which is open to non-residents. On our first visit earlier this year, we just turned up and were disappointed not to get a table due to a private function. The moral of the story is to always call ahead to reserve a table. This time we made a reservation for 7pm. When we arrived we were shown to the dining room by a courteous young waiter. The dozen or so tables each had a single candle glowing in the fading dusk light. The large full length windows revealed an awesome view of the mountains. We were the first guests to arrive and we eagerly opted for a table close to the Windows. The waiter took our orders. Even before any food arrived, my wife predicted this was going to be a memorable experience. We shared our appetisers of roast nuts and olives and bread. For main meal we both had the spicy Moroccan root vegetables which was delicious. For dessert, I had the Chocolate Sundae and my wife had chocolate mousse with coconut ice cream. We both follow a plant based diet so chose the vegan options where the menu gave a choice between the regular vegetarian item and the vegan variant. In summary, the location is stunning, the ambiance is relaxed, the staff make you feel welcome and the food was excellent.

Lovely Hotel in a great setting and full of history. This is a vegetarian restaurant and the food is wonderful.

This review is just of the restaurant since it is open to the public. I'm reviewing the hotel separately.

A beautiful location on the pathways up to Easedale Tarn. It is a sign of how friendly this place is in that they invite you to wander through the gardens on your way up or down and in the lobby is chilled and flavoured water to enjoy. We found it on the way back down and oh my as vegans we found ourselves beside with joy at yummy cake, savoury and main course options all of which we could eat. We lingered as long as we could on the grass terrace enjoying superb food and drinks. We did not really want to l eave and changed our plans so we could return as soon as possible for a proper meal. A vegan cream tea was enjoyed for the first time ever outside of home and the hot fudge brownie is top of the list next time. Absolutely my favourite place to eat in the Lakes.

We had no idea out bolt hole was vegetarian. We were worried. We need not have been. The food was fantastic. End of.
