Everyone in here was so lovely. I was accidently brought an additional cheese on toast. I ate it because I am a greedy man but I also tried to pay for it because I am an honest cheese filled man. They wouldn't take my money. Anywhere that gives a man free cheese on toast gets five stars from me.

We were on our family holiday staying in the village. We stayed here last summer and had been to Mallard Tearoom. Had the best ever toasties' home made Victoria sponge & Orange Cake. Absolutely gorgeous and beautiful ingredients. Very generous portions and very reasonable prices. The service was friendly and welcoming from start to visit . Would definitely recommend.

Called today with husband. Ordered 2 Cumberland sausage buns, after I found 2 pieces of something hard (gristle?) I couldn't eat anymore, not long after husband found similar in his, not nice, not the best quality sausage. Ordered a piece of biscuit & cherry slice to remove the sausage memory, this slice was lovely, nice balance of biscuits and cherry with a thick real chocolate topping. Felt very uncomfortable sitting at the table near the door as a couple were allowed to stand for at least 15 minutes whilst waiting for a free table - we felt "watched" for the majority of our time in there, perhaps the people waiting should be asked to wait outside or a booking taken and asked to return at the allotted time. I wish the lady taking our payment (who was pleasant enough) had asked if our meal was OK because I would have told her, alas she didn't hence my somewhat negative review - shame

Whilst visiting the lakes we decided to go for breakfast after seeing some good reviews and those reviews were spot on. The ladies that run this cafe were so welcoming. We had breakfast sandwiches and my daughter had a toastie. The produce was of excellent quality which really stood out. Has to have been the thickest sausage I have ever had. All was truly delicious 😋

Cold and smelled of dogs on arrival. Waited ages to be served and the waitress was more interested on who was at the bar rather than taking our table order for 10 people. Food was very salty and the steak pie in particular was terrible. Every meal as standard/basic or frozen style food. The whole place is run down and miserable. We went off trip advisor reviews as well on a visit to the area and wished we hadn’t. Go to The Pheasant Inn down the road at Allithwaite instead that was lovely food and fab service.

Well I won't be going back ,the food was awful ...the tomato ,basil and pesto soup had a horrible sharp but sugary sweet taste...the sandwich that came with it had the cheapest bright yellow " butter "on. ,a maximum of one slice of ham and the cheapest mustard . My 4 year old grandson could have made a better sandwich ! My husband had pie which had hardly any meat in it and the gravy was unusual tasting ( to say the least ) and sweet . I've had far superior microwave meals ! The toilets which were always an asset to the pub had gone downhill too.
