Lowther Castle Inn and Courtoom Restaurant in Eden

Always a go to for our family whether it’s sit in or a takeaway. All fantastic homemade pub food! From the beef stew and chilli con carne to the chips, coleslaw and raspberry pavlova pudding! Not forgetting the proper whippy ice cream!!

Fantastic Sunday lunch for the whole family, really tender meat (beef and lamb) and superb salmon, very cosy, staff were super helpful

We visited the Lowther Castle Inn for Sunday lunch......not for the first time, because we know it never disappoints. The portions are large, well cooked, and piping hot. The staff are friendly and welcoming, and the meals were excellent value for money. We will definitely be calling in again.

We went to the Lowther Castle Inn for a New Years Eve meal with our family and dog. The service and food were excellent. All the food was so tasty and piping hot. We chose the lamb, fillet steak, pasta bake and scampi, all were of an excellent standard. Thanks so much for looking after us, I would definitely recommend 👍

Never fails to disappoint. The chips are the best. Complimentary Coleslaw excellent, had it with my salad side. Chicken lasagne always excellent, beef lasagne just as good, prawn curry - spicy. No room for pud knowing how good the Pavlova is. Staff were all great, smiling, happy, attentive.. Well done.

20 members of Bolton Badminton Club met at the Lowther Castle Inn for their annual party. We all enjoyed a delicious meal from the extensive menu. The service was excellent, all the meals arrived at the same time and were beautifully presented. We were given a designated area, which enabled us to enjoy our celebrations without disturbing other diners. Our thanks to Dawn and her staff for a lovely evening.

Lovely place for a walk with the dogs, spend some quiet time and maybe have a picnic with the family.Entry costs are a little steep, but you can easily spend all day roaming the grounds.The cafe is worth a visit, nice food and great coffee

Amazing food! Reasonably priced. Highly recommend. Visited when stopping at Center Parcs. Huge portions. Best sticky toffee pudding ever

¡Es mi cumpleaños y qué mejor lugar para pasarlo que Lowther Inn!¡Saludamos calurosamente en el bar cuando entramos y nos sentamos a nuestra mesa de inmediato!Después de ordenar nos presentaron pan caliente y ensalada de col cremosa que para mí es como el cielo, ¡nunca tuve una cosa así en otros establecimientos muy diferentes pero tan maravillosamente fantásticos! !Gran elección en el menú y el tablero de especialidades para elegir, que fue una decisión difícil, pero todas nuestras comidas donde fantástico y el servicio fue rápido y eficiente. !¡No puedo esperar para volver a visitarte pronto!

We had a delicious and very reasonably priced Sunday lunch here with extended family. Everything we had was excellent- roast beef, roast lamb, chicken, children’s sausage and chips, vegetarian lasagne and the vegan curry. it’s a rare treat to find a choice for vegans so it was great to have two vegan options available plus vegetarian options. The portions are large, there were loads of vegetables and the pudding selection was varied and all looked lovely although we were too full to do more than taste a little of the sweet the children shared. The staff were welcoming and friendly and the service was outstanding. A perfect place to go especially for a larger family group. We will definitely be back, Thank you!!

La comida fue excelente aquí hoy. Las verduras cocinadas a la perfección y carne de res lo mejor que he probado en mi vida. El servicio fue excelente y los precios muy razonables. Definitivamente visitaré nuevamente en un fin de semana. Lamentablemente, está abierto demasiado tarde para nosotros con niños pequeños durante la semana.

We’re new to the area and have had several meals here over the last two weeks. The standard of food here is simply excellent. The staff and friendly and professional. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend most highly.

Stopped off at this pub on the way back from Penrith, car park was busy which is always a good sign! Obviously we should have booked but they managed to find us a table for two. We had a starter & main from the Sunday lunch menu, reasonably priced. Good food, simple but tasty. Nice to see the vegetables come in serving dishes to help yourself too; far too many. Pub looks like it has been refurbished but still maintains its country pub charm. Nice to come back in winter when the log burner is on!Only moan - because it was very busy another waitress would have been a bonus.

We went on a Bank holiday Sunday, gladly booked a table. The staff Was very friendly, all our Extras and wishes were fullfilled. It was a nice experience, I can absolutely recommend. Only we were not allowed to bring our Pet dog along, even through there was plenty of space where he wouldn't bother anyone. But apart from that, all good.

They do a great Sunday lunch, bars staff very friendly and chatty, the roast beef is lovely, and the roast potatoes and out of this world, dog friendly in the bar, would advise booking, gets very busy

Have eaten here quite often ,food is always hot and tasty ,service is prompt and polite ,I have never had any issues or problems here ,great place to eat and drink ,plenty of parking available

Visited with Agricolae and had a fabulous evening and enjoyed great locally sourced food in a completely authentic setting of a historic courtroom. The food tasted delicious with large portions and pleasant helpful staff

We had a fabulous meal on our way home from a coach trip to Glasgow. The ladies were well fed in the beautiful courtroom restaurant. The homemade desserts were amazing. I would well recommended the pub to anyone passing. Super food and service.

We called in at 12.15 but had not booked for Sunday lunchtime. Disappointed to be told nothing available. Sensing we were very disaapointed they squeezed us in and how grateful we were. Food was second to none. Piping hot, plenty of it and the beef just melted in our mouths. Staff are extremely friendly. If I had to make one critism it would be that some parts of the pub are a bit dark but other than that it cant be faulted.. Would not hesitate going again but would definitely book first!

Having checked the pub website before I left home, it said it was open for food and wet sales at midday on Saturdays. I had a meeting to attend nearby in the Parish Hall so lunch for me was essential with a drink. I arrived at 12.20pm and the place was closed. A notice on the window of one of the many entrance doors said " Food served Saturdays from Midday to 8pm". I waited outside for 10 minutes incase they were running late opening up, There was no sign of life, staff movement or lights on at all. What a way to run a business. No extra sign in the window advising if there had been a sudden problem. I won't be returning here ever again. I went away hungry and thirsty. This pub/restaurant is on the main A6 road too. It isn't tucked away. When other pubs are closing completely and pubs ask for trade, this is an appalling way to treat roadside general trade passing by or people like me, who checked before I left home.

We enjoyed a lovely meal on Mother’s Day with our family, orders were taken very quickly and food arrived very shortly afterwards. All of our food was beautifully cooked and enjoyed by all, huge portions of beef and vegetables arrived in separate dishes which I may say were overflowing with lovely fresh veg.

Had an evening meal, food was good. Service a little on the slow side. Meal booked for 7 o’clock but it was after 8 o’clock before we saw any food.

Just been to the Lowther Castle Inn for Sunday lunch. We all had roast beef - opted not to have a starter but would have a dessert. Three thick slices of melt in your mouth beef, Yorkshire pudding, roast & mashed potatoes & veg.it was beautiful and we were so full couldn’t manage a dessert but my daughter had one to take away and eat later. My son in law enjoyed the extra slice of beef I gave him that I couldn’t eat. They were also really helpful and made a special gravy for my daughter who for health reasons can’t always have restaurant gravy. They also allowed my daughters two dogs in as well. Now I need a snooze to sleep it off. Can definitely recommend the food & service.

Had lovely Sunday roast with friends. Very attentive friendly staff. Always feel we hit the jackpot if places are dog friendly and gluten free!!!

Nice enough place, but the food is out for all to cough on, sneeze on, and touch . You have been warned

We had haggis and black pudding as a starter which could have been cooked a little longer. Wine was not great either but perhaps we caught them on a bad day. Plenty of better alternatives locally.

The food is always good and nicely presented. Welcoming pub and comfortable dining here.We have visited several times good value for money.

We called into this pub on our way home from Centerparcs, all seven of us, including three children, enjoyed our food. Great value too.

Food was absolutely cracking and staff really friendly and helpful alex behind the bar best bar man around Many thanks

Had a lovely meal this evening, there was 6 of us, service was really good, barstaff and waitress were really friendly and polite. Food was really good and a decent portions, all ordered off the special menu for £8.50 per meal. Would definitely recommend a meal here.

Fabulous little pub we had our wedding reception hear on 16th august we had a full roast with the choice of chicken or beef it was cooked to perfection the roasts veg and gravy were all fantastic the meat was tender it was perfect every guest had good things to say about the meal.The pudding were amazing nice huge portions enough to share can highly recommend the raspberry pavlova. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff they were fantastic nice and polite well dressed and were very quick at clearing the tables ready for our 2nd course.The cake table they set up for us was fantastic. Will be booking this pub again next year for our new baby's christening. Cant fault this place at all very welcoming nice location fantastic food fantastic service what more could you want

Due to work I had dinner there every night for a week ,very friendly service ,very nice meals ,enjoyed the gammon so I had that most evenings with fresh chips and vegetables,if I was up there again I would definitely eat there again

We stumbled upon this place literally 10 mins after leaving Kendal Calling.

Decided to come off the M6 and stopped off on the chance of getting some food. What an amazing place with fabulous quality food and the portions and accompanying veg were generous . The atmosphere was friendly and helpful. There were a great many families and people with room to accommodate more and the decor was lovely, the place was clean (definitely none of the usual sticky bar tables). We all enjoyed the experience and will ‘drop in” again.

Called in for an early tea last night in our local pub and went for the gammon and the scampi. The food arrived quickly and was absolutely delicious.... Two very clean plates. Thoroughly enjoyed our meal, and it was good value too. We will be back very soon.

I would really recommend this pub/restaurant to anyone great place for meals never had a bad one. Staff are very friendly and welcoming.

We live just round the corner and are so lucky to have this little gem on our doorstep!!!

Had an excellent sunday lunch here today with family. We all enjoyed it from the delicious roast beef, the melt in the mouth lamb henry and tasty roast chicken.

We booked the Lowther Castle last minute due to not knowing whether our daughter could get to us, due to the weather.

Meal was good as other times , but very disappointed,,,, NO! dumplings with beef stew , as there alway was , the simple things that put you off going back again,also menu is getting a bit dated now , quality of food is very good

We had a family outing and had a beautiful meal, we ordered 4 sirloin steaks which were cooked to perfection, the stilton sauce was lovely, as too was the peppercorn sauce. The whole meal was lovely. Thank you.

We met up with a dear friend to have Sunday lunch and I have to say as good as you can get as far as food goes, we had starters and we struggle to eat the mains so we never managed to eat sweets, absolutely stuffed quality meat and fresh veg what more do you need?

We often have family meals here, the food is alway lovely and there’s never any food left which is no mean feat considering the portion sizes! You can tell everything is homemade, from the chips and coleslaw to the puddings.

Have eaten here many times in small and large parties, evening and Sunday lunch time, staff always polite and friendly, service excellent, food second to none ( try the beef), prices reasonable and portion size great.

I came to visit for a Sunday night meal a couple of weeks ago with my friend which the lowther castle is very close to home for me. I ordered my usual the vegetarian pasta bake, the food arrived very quickly but wasn't efficient. I cut into my broccoli and it was black. When the waitress asked if it was ok I felt bad saying something but it had to be done. The waitresses were very very nice but I didn't get offered anything in return for the fault. For dessert I had the raspberry pavlova which was gorgeous.

Lovely place good to see they are working hard to keep as much as the castle as they can. Lovely walks and my children loved the lost castle and wow it was amazing place for kids of all ages even adults plenty of places to eat. Highly recommend

We went out for dinner and a beer after a very wet Saturday at the Lowther Show 2017.

Rang here last minute to get a table at 2-45 on a Sunday afternoon they serve lunch until 3.30 or just after very quiet when we got there, couldn't fault the food or staff , friendly place and prompt service, would definitely eat here again .

Popped over for supper on Thursday evening and enjoyed great company, an outstanding meal in a completely authentic setting of a historic courtroom. The food does not need to stand trial or be judged!

I visited the Lowther castle tonight with family and after initial trepidation after reading some not so complimentary reviews on here I was pleasantly surprised. We had booked a table but got there half an hour early got served drinks at the bar and shown to the table immediately. The place was busy being a bank holiday weekend but our order was taken within 5 minutes of sitting down. The service received from all the wait staff was polite and courteous and we were made most welcome. The food served was tasty and well cooked and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend a night here for a lovely meal.

We called in on the off chance and what a find. The food was excellent, piping hot and plentiful. The food is homemade and of great quality. The staff were very helpful and we couldn't fault it in any way.

Attended for family birthday meal Saturday night we were seated at half 7 then they took our starter order we waited an hour for that to be served. Cleared the table then waited till 9.15pm till the main came out then at 10.10 they came and clear the table only one staff memeber did this and ages then took ages . We didnt even have a sweet because my poor 4 yr old was knackered as she fed up . I didn't even appreciate my food as was past hungary

Booked a large party for food. Shown to table straight away then nothing! Took our order then left us sat there about a hour waiting for our starter then took ages to clear table then waited again for main course! We were booked in for 7.30 but hadn't even got main by 9.15 by which time we had all gone past it so couldn't appreciate it. sweets didn't get ordered until 10.10 by which time half of us left. Wouldn't recommend here unless you don't mind waiting ages!!!

Had Sunday lunch here on 22nd January 2017. It was very busy and I was glad I had booked. It was a good Sunday Lunch but there were only 2 options for a Sunday roast dinner.

Consistently good home cooking in a beautiful old court room with wood panelling and a big fireplace. The meat is delicious and the vegetables are fresh and there's plenty of them. A minor criticism would be that the dining room was a little on the cool side for a Winter afternoon. A roaring fire would help the temperature and add to the atmosphere.

Poor service, waited over 90 minutes for main meal due to lack of communication with staff Food Average Spoilt a good evening family get together Sorry won't be eating here again

Visited here with friends and enjoyed a lovely meal. We have eaten here many times and never been disappointed. Food always good and fresh and plenty of it. Looking forward to next visit.

The first time I visited this Inn, I turned to my wife and said "this is probably the best roast beef I have ever had." I cannot vouch for the rest of the menu because after 20-odd Sunday dinners there we have only sampled the beef and our conclusions are: one very good meal and 20 plus superb meals.

Pub was busy and we arrived towards the end of the service period, staff very friendly and accommodating. Service was professional and prompt and the food was really good. Generous portions and excellent quality.

Went here for a family meal, and have been many other occasions, will never be going again. Staff behind the bar very rude, and how theyre in that position is beyond me, no customer service skills at all, and also kept saying how she should be at home right now but no she got called in to come hear, very very rude women!! Food was very disapointing,steak overcooked, cajun chicken more of a childs portion, no veg serverd, asked for some drinks before our meal got served but didnt get them till after wead finished our meal, all in all shocking service, would not recommed. and over priced!

We visited here for Sunday lunch. We were greeted so nicely and shown to our table. The food was first class and the serving staff were amazingly helpful and friendly and efficient

Have our extended family meals here. Easter Sunday was the last visit. Booked for 1pm the "busy" time. It was but the front and back house work like a well oiled machine. From arrival, to drinks at the bar, being taken to our table to our meals being served. The front of staff are a young well organised team. All we came across were polite and very helpful. Another enjoyable meal. And Eamont Bridge had just reopened!

we met up with a couple of friends here for a sunday lunch , it was well worth the 50 miles we drove to get here , i had the beef it was good old brisket and very tasty my partner had chicken and our friends had the lamb ,it was all served with sharing platters of cabbage and carrots roast potatoes and mashed potatoes , you got plenty . Even left a couple of roast potatoes lol. the parking is only a small car park to the front but behind there was a bit of off street parking. the place is quiet large and the restaurant is upstairs ( note i did not see a lift so if disabled you can dine in the bar area it is very nice in there too, with big tables and comfy seats . the staff were very friendly and escorted us to our table ....nice touch .so if your in that neck of the woods pop in and sure you will not be disappointed thats if you like real home cooked food .
