Main Street Chipshop in South Lakeland

We did go for food but it looked grubby and really uninviting. People having meals didn’t look to be enjoying them. On ordering drinks locals were paying different prices for drinks ie white wine £4 a large glass. We were told only young locals were allowed this? I know other pubs do loyalty cards just for locals which is a little unfair as charging visitors more doesnt really encourage us to go back. We are supporting their trade so why should we pay more. The Albion needs to up its game its in a prime location so could be a little gold mine like it used to be. Think only reason people drink there is because of its location as certainly not it’s value for money.

Not good food at all better off going to macdonalds up the road. Very quiet dirty floors, car park is filthy with rubbish everywhere, staff pleasant enough though.

We arrived in lovely sunshine but were disappointed to find that contrary to the impression given in the advertisement by Lakeland Retreats of sitting on your decking enjoying the sun there is no sun as the Lawns is surrounded by high trees making the interior constantly dark. You have to put the lights on for your breakfast and if you eat in later in the day then also. My partner decided to have a bath the first night but unfortunately contrary to the management company's assertion that there's a constant supply of hot water the hot water ran out and the water turned cold. This happened twice as it did to our neighbours in the adjoining Lakeland Retreats property. We normally have a cooked breakfast on a Sunday but we were appalled to find that the two frying pans supplied were pitted with rust and unusable. Finally as the season turned from summer to autumn the evenings got a little nippy. We tried to turn up the storage radiators but found that the controls are blocked by wooden brackets screwed over the radiators so you can't use them. A beautiful area but we won't be using Lakeland Retreats again if this is the standard they aspire to!

Although I live in HK, I do enjoy quite a variety of fish and chips as I got a specialty shop right downstairs (and I hope this support the rest of my comments) The shop doesn't look cool. It was a small shop. But the smell was great, there was no oily feel nor smell, despite an open kitchen design. That's why I immediately start my order. We had fishes, black pudding and onion rings. The fish is awesome, no oily and heavy covering. My wife is very sensitive to oily thing but she immediately accept the whole fish. The fish is freshly made and this is also a bonus point. The onion rings surprised us, it is at the right point of camarelized. The portion of black pudding is superb, if you like it, you should get my combo. I recommend anyone to try this. I read comments saying the dishes are overpriced. But I surely get a full tummy after spending 24 pounds here.

Very enjoyable meal on Friday evening following a hike. We had looked at the exciting menu in the morning but didn't want to commit ourselves by booking a table beforehand and rushing back. Relieved that they had a spare table . My husband had the leek confit as a starter which was plentiful and tasty. We both had the seabream which came with new potatoes, olives and spinach. Despite the high cost of the ingredients you didn't feel that they skimped on the portion. 2 nice pieces of fish each, plenty of olives and spinach. We benefited of their special offers, £1 off per pint from 16.30 to 1900. I have no hesitation to recommend this place. The rating is 4 out of 5 as the dinning room is a bit dark but the food was top marks
