Manor House in South Lakeland

Amazing Sunday dinner. Prob the best we’ve had in years. Really fresh, beef cooked to perfection (other half very fussy meat eater) - veggie nut roosts tasty and veggies really fresh. Good service. Lovely cosy decor. Would definitely come again.

The Manor is our favourite place for a meal out. Today we chose from the new Atumn Menu (although my husband was relieved to see that Sticky Toffee Pud was still on there) Maple glazed bacon chop was delicious and the steak pie as good as always. Puds lovely and a great wine list too - friendly and laid back service - We will be back

Don't expect a warm welcome if you're only popping in for a pint after a nice walk on the fells......once the staff realise you're not buying from the overpriced menu the level of service falls away abruptly. Unfortunately for them, they didn't know we were checking the place out for a meal for the following evening and were also going to enquire about accommodation. So, we've looked elsewhere now....

We would highly recommend Manor House. We booked here for lunch for a special occasion and it really didn’t disappoint. The food was well presented and tasted delicious. 5*

We had a lovely welcome from a young lady who took our drinks order and then we found a table for 3 and 2 dogs. From there on in we were treated to service by a surly female member of staff. The food is very overpriced, the lamb rump was beautifully cooked 27.50 to add potatoes and veg would cost another 10, the cheeseboard which 2 of us shared did not have all of the cheeses specified on the menu. The cheesecake looked fab but lacked the lemon flavour specified. Rather disappointing and not what we’re expecting given the rave reviews.

Booked a table for a Wednesday evening whilst on holiday in the Lakes for us a family of 2 teenagers 2 adults 1 small dog. It was by far the best meals we have had in the week, yes its pricier than others but it's absolutely worth the money, especially the sticky toffee pudding and steak and guineas pie! Loads of parking, really nice pub and cool bathrooms! Highly recommend it.

First off I want to thank Manor House for the hospitality and warm welcome. The kind of customer service that shows they care. So many places really don’t but this place is testament to the fact that it does still exist! Aside from the welcome the charm of the pub and its surrounding is stunning and tranquil, with a lovely lama farm at the end of the lane. Wonderful. Gosh, where do I start with the food… creativity, flavour and impeccable presentation, my starter of torched cured mackerel served with pickled fennel was utterly delicious. Followed by (took me ages to decide as there were so many great things on the menu) pork tenderloin served with black pudding balls, fresh greens and roasted carrots, with a jus that was a beautifully light but packed with flavour. A great selection of drinks to be had too and the team are super accommodating to any request. Can’t rate this place enough, and a little 15-20 min drive off the main road it’s an absolute find. A regulate in the area for work and seeking gray places to eat, the landlady packed me off with a whole bunch of eatery options for my forget trips! That’s after my fortnightly visit here I think! I will be back with friends and solo (working trips) to sample more of the menu across the seasons. Thanks again Manor House , you’ve made my day 🫶🏻

A beautiful spot, sat outside, wonderful service, excellent food. Always superb service. Good choice of wine. Superb evening. Thank you ❤️

A Beautiful Restaurant in the heart of the Countryside, which is ran by the most caring Staff who can’t do enough for you. The food is absolutely fantastic. I had the Pork loin which was delicious and my partner had the Hake which she equally enjoyed. We would 100% recommend this fantastic restaurant and will be back without a doubt💙

We enjoyed a lovely evening at this beautiful country pub, with amazing food and service. The food was absolutely delicious, we enjoyed pate to start, hake with mussels and creamy mash and pork lion, served with black pudding and broccoli for main courses and share sticky toffee pudding for dessert, which was the perfect finish to a fantastic evening. Thank you Manor House, we can’t wait to visit again soon.

Came here with some friends for the Sunday lunch. The decor was great and the actual meal was fantastic! The only bad thing is one of the waitresses seemed annoyed the whole time, she acted like she couldn’t be bothered being there and us even ordering food was a massive inconvenience to her. When she was taking our plates she dropped a knife (easily done) but instead of picking it up, or leaving it and coming back when she has free hands, she kicked it across the whole restaurant into the kitchen. We were all speechless watching this but it did end up with us laughing a lot! Will be back though, had a great time!

Just had a brilliant night here, where to begin on such a truly hidden gem It’s tucked away, but wow the decor and ambiance is amazing. On a freezing November night, it was so warm and cosy. We had booked ahead to get a Camper spot, and the pub was busy all night with every single table taken. The food is truly outstanding, a real hard decision on what to choose. Amazing culinary standards . Superb friendly service from all the team, no fuss, great energy, but particular thanks to Sarah running front of house. Just the most perfect trip out, thank you

This spot is great for family dinners. The food was lovely. This place is also dig friendly and offers dog treats on their menu. Loved it, would recommend

Sunday lunch just before Christmas. Not the world's biggest place but the food is consistently excellent. It's quite a few miles outside Ulverston and people make the effort to travel out, which says a lot. Good service.

We managed to get last minute table on Saturday afternoon , think you always need to book & drive from Ulverston was lovely & arrived to this wonderful place , inside & out . Unfortunately young waitress really didn’t want to be there , with her attitude when serving but showing her feelings when storming out of kitchen & huffing & puffing by the bar which I had full view of ! However food was outstanding , well done chefs . The pheasant & venison pie was amazing with great gravy & with extra gravy pot , mashed potatoes & red cabbage . Wine very reasonably for such a great place but have a word with your staff as just spoilt this occasion . We gave a very good tip to compliment great food & maybe for the staff to realise its worth working there !

This is the third Sunday lunch we have been to at The Manor House. I regret to say today the lunch was below par. Turkey roast consisted of a squirt of mashed potato, two carrots, two parsnips and a side of Brussel sprouts (which not everyone likes) Turkey roll meat and mass produced Turkey stuffing. No peas, no swede and no cauliflower cheese and no roast potatoes. When I questioned it apparently I was supposed to have roast potatoes but they ‘forgot’ to put them on. There were no other greens apart from the sprouts. The pudding menu was also disappointing. Seems to have dropped in quality overall. Very disappointing - I hesitated about saying anything because I don’t usually but it was so poor I had to. Thankfully they were understanding and took the meal off the bill. I would rather be writing a rave review. We did go for Sunday Lunch in November and it was very different - I’m just wondering whether they have a new chef or an abundance of Brussel Sprouts to use up. Very very disappointing. We have friends to stay next weekend and we will be going elsewhere. We will not be coming back.

This is a great place to eat. The food is excellent and the staff are very friendly and efficient. The dining room was beautifully decorated for Christmas.

Well presented with attentive well motivated staff serving high quality local produce in lovely comfortable surroundings . Hidden gem well supported by locals so need to book to afford disappointment .

This was our second visit to the Manor House for an evening meal and we enjoyed the experience just as before.The restaurant was very tastefully decorated for Christmas and the staff were efficient and welcoming.My partner chose the fish and chips and I chose the traditional Turkey dinner.All our food choices were delicious and delivered piping hot,the waitress staff were very polite and attentive.We had a lovely evening thanks to the ManorHouse .

We'd wanted to visit the Manor House for ages, we had high expectations!! Our experience totally lived up to these expectations and more. The food on the Friday night was delicious and service from the staff perfect. We had only planned to stay one night in out campervan, but found our ourselves back in Oxen Park the following day due to heavy snow making roads impassable. We were where stranded. Adam, Ashley and the other staff did their best to help us and others in our predicament!! What a lovely village and pub to be stranded at. We enjoyed eating and drinking in the pub again before leaving the following day. Thank you Manor House team!! We'll definitely be back, but maybe in the summer!!

Food was very nice. Couldn’t fault it. Good value for money. Would definitely come back again in the summer to sit on the tables outside.

Very enjoyable experience….. which starts as you drive towards the building. The outside area is clean, warm & welcoming, the entrance is beautifully lit, warm & inviting…. It looks like a farmhouse kitchen…. That’s what made us stop & try this pub…… we didn’t have a booking.. fortunately they had a table in the bar area….. right by the fire👍🏻😁👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻. Service was welcoming, efficient & friendly without being intrusive. We ordered our food & it arrive promptly, I had Guinnie fowl nicely cooked, interesting presentation & great combination of textures & flavours, my wife had Hake, again beautifully cooked dish…. Obviously they have a chef who cares & can cook… especially fish … it was perfect. In truth the portion size was generous, but that didn’t stop the dish from being polished off. It is very refreshing to eat in restaurant, in Cumbria that isn’t Michelin Stared (or trying to be one) that is serving real, well constructed, creative food …. That is Great Value for Money & you don’t need a second mortgage! The menu offers all the old favourites Signiture dish from the chef creativity & talent. Thank You “Manor House” see you again in the very near future 😁👍🏻😁👍🏻

Situated in the middle of nowhere, this beautiful building dominates the local village. Cosy pub with calm and professional staff make you feel welcome and strike that fine balance in being attentive without the US style over doing it. Menu has a lovely balance of traditional pub classics blended with unique dishes including Guinea fowl and venison etc. - I opted for the trad Fish n Chips - perfectly cooked crisp, thin, batter with flakey fish, spot on chips all piping hot on a hot plate with mushy peas - Laurent Perrier fizz and at very reasonable price and even a perfect stirred Old Fashioned to finish - Top Marks - will be back !

An absolute pleasure to visit the Manor House for a third time today. We joined Leighann, her family and friends for the remembrance service at Cartmel Priory and came to the pub for a coffee and Sunday lunch afterwards. The food, drinks and service was faultless. The pub provides such a warm, relaxing and calming environment. The roast dinner was superb as always followed by a delicious sticky toffee pudding with ice cream for dessert. We will definitely be returning again in the future. Thank you for a pleasurable visit.

Stopped here in motorhome (which you can prebook and stay in one of 6 spaces they have in the back of the carpark for diners) and had a lovely evening meal. Special blackcurrant gin and tonic then lovely pollock special. My husband had wood pigeon for starter and then a double burger. Don’t know how we had room but pudding was amazing, chocolate fondant with orange sorbet, so make sure you leave room! The staff were really friendly and professional. I would definitely recommend.

We enjoyed an excellent early evening meal on a rainy November evening. Staff most accommodating. Fish and chips, cauliflower, hake and potato main courses all fresh and home made - lovely. Five stars!

We have a holiday home in the Lakes and try and visit The Manor house for Sunday lunch each time we are up. We are never disappointed. I don't know anywhere else that serves 5 different veg with the Sunday roast and asks whether you like your beef rare or well done. I ordered roast no meat as I am vegetarian and they kindly reduced the price (not everywhere does this). Ashley is an amazing host. Very warm and welcoming. The Best Sunday lunch we have had in a pub by far !

Great pub, excellent food, good local beers. I had vegetarian curry with a lovely home made bhaji. My wife had a double cheese burger. Both were excellent. Staff were super friendly, atmosphere great. One of our favourite pubs in Cumbria. Highly recommended.

Amazing food, the food tastes so fresh and so well made. We had the soup, sharing plater starter, fish and Chips and rib eye steak. The quality of the ingredients really shows. The service is very prompt and very friendly. The place has a really sweet traditional feel to it and it’s very cosy and clean.

Amazing place took my 15m old and brought a family dog the staff were extremely friendly and accompanying, there's also a really lovely baby changing facility and the food exceeded our expectations will definitely be returning lovely place run by lovely people 😊

The most lovely, warm place and amazing friendly staff, loved the Sunday dinner we had and will defo be back again, thank you for a fantastic time

Very accommodating for a large group of friends and the food was no compromise! Absolutely delicious Sunday roast and lovely staff.

We visited for a Sunday roast one evening , as we were staying down the road. It was literally a 30 second walk . Very delicious food, would recommend if you are staying nearby. Staff friendly, atmosphere warm and cosy, with plenty to choose from on the menu. You can pay £3 extra for all of the meats which was great and plenty on the plate! Would definitely visit again if in the area for a cosy pub meal

The staff are really helpful and friendly at the Manor House, we come often and always love it! The food is lovely!

Another excellent meal! From someone that eats a lot of burgers, the Smash Burger was SMASHING!! Probably the best I've had lately! The chocolate fondant was gooey and comforting. Always service with a smile! Would recommend!

Exceptional dining experience! I had the pleasure of trying all three of their specials – starter, main, and dessert. The flavors were flawless and incredibly delicious. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, and the service was top-notch from Lois. They also offer a great selection of drinks, and there's ample car parking available. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Eat here regularly and the food is always amazing! Staff and atmosphere is great! Also is definitely the best Sunday roast in the area!

Came with a group of friends, the food was amazing. The beef WOW unbelievable, melted in your mouth. Drinks very nice and staff were great.

Fantastic place to eat, the food was really really nice and the staff were excellent. Would definitely recommend to everyone

Amazing food and the staff are so lovely, One of the nicest Sunday dinners I have had and it was lovely weather so sat outside. Thank you so much for such a lovely time xx

We went to celebrate an 18th birthday the food the service was excellent 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 i would reccomend to anyone if your looking for excellent food and service this the place too go xx

We've been coming to the Lake District a good many years and only found this delightful pub/restaurant! The food was excellent, the staff very friendly and polite. Not much waiting time between courses either. Left happy and satisfied. Thank you 👍🙂👍

Came on a Sunday and was aware that they mainly concentrate on their roast dinners although you can get cod, tofu or nut roast. We came as my husband loves roast dinners, I wasn't as keen but I have to say it was excellent. I...

Called in on a day when we had been soaked by the not unexpected Lake District weather.....had a delicious mid afternoon lunch and a pint...just what was needed. Was impressed by the whole place so went back two days later for an dinner....delicious again !...

Little gem of a place, we stayed here in our campervan and the food and hospitality were second to none. Very dog friendly and access to toilets even after pub closed. The smash burger 🍔 and fish 🐟 and chips 🍟 were the best we...

Amazing food, amazing customer service, definitely will be returning. Had crab starter, 10/10 hubby had Soup , homemade bread and bacon whipped butter 10/10. I had sea bass it was divine, hubby had homemade mince and onion pie, he was in food heaven. Dessert I...

Unreal scranny - burger is elite. Great atmosphere! Busy busy, make sure you book in advance!!!!

This is a fantastic spot for dinner. The downside is that finding the place as the light fades means relying on the sat nav when you think there must be a problem. Stick with it it is absolutely worth the trouble. We had the last...

I hadn’t visited this pub for over 20 years but I had heard how good it was. The reports I received were absolutely spot on, the welcome , the food and the service were superb. All 3 of us really enjoyed our experience. We will...

Food was outstanding, service was unbeatable, definitely recommend eating there, everything 5 star.

The Manor House is the place to be if you are in the Lake District . Took 5 business clients for dinner after a brilliant day around Windermere . I have had my eye on this place for a while as a must try !!...

Came across this lovely rural pub whilst on a lovely UK staycation and decided to pay it a visit for our evening meal, it was everything and more!…. Food was absolutely stunning, Not only presented so beautifully but everything we ate was 10/10. Staff were...

5 out of 5 from me. The perfect pub with beautiful surroundings,great food,nice decor,hardworking staff and an overall pleasant experience .If I could have rated it higher I would, couldn’t recommend it anymore to anyone.Great pub!!

What a find! I am sometimes reluctant to post good reviews as it can be nice to keep some places a secret but on this occasion that would be unfair to the Patrons!! We arrived without a reservation and wanted a table for 7, a...

Gets five stars from me. Great food, really friendly and attentive staff, good decor. Great selection of Ales. Many thanks to other trip advisors for their reviews. Nothing to fault it.

Couldn't fault this place. Food was amazing. All six of our group thoroughly enjoyed our meals. Excellent service. Staff really friendly and professional. Cannot wait to return!

It is many years since I was last in the Manor House so we decided to give it a try to see how it has changed in the meantime. Turning up for lunch without booking we got off to a good start with a pleasant,...

If you like a Sunday pub roast, you will be hard pushed to find a better place, it really is the quintessential middle of England pub.

Booked ahead for Sunday lunch for a family of 3. Booking is necessary as the place is very popular. Been to The Manor House a few times before and doesn't disappoint. Food is hearty, there are plenty of staff serving so no delay. Ashley is...

The ideal pub: great beer, friendly hardworking staff and superb food. It’s also in a stunning location - see photos. We have been there twice in the last week and both times really enjoyed it. Best fish and chips I’ve had for many years and...

We love coming here as a family, there’s always such a nice atmosphere and so welcoming. Food is gorgeous and a great choice of drinks too. I always bring my little dog too and they make of fuss of him. One of the best places...

My husband, myself and our dog had a lovely meal here, the double burger is the tastiest we've ever had. They even do a dog menu with water bowels offered too. We stayed over night in our camper van at the back of the pub...

We had visited the Lakeland Motor Museum earlier in the day and needed to find somewhere for a late lunch. To be honest, we tried the Anglers Arms first, but we'd missed lunchtime and they don't serve food mid-afternoon (not a complaint, fair enough) -...

This place is a little gem. The food was amazing, the drinks were fantastic and the staff were super friendly. Perfect spot. We were in a campervan also and the setup for campers was also very good. A must stop at place.

Had a lovely Sunday lunch in this very friendly, comfortable gastro pub. The staff were all very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. We all had the roast beef meal which was beautifully cooked and a very generous portion. I was amazed to see...

We've been coming to the South Lakes for a long time but never been to Oxen Park before. It's well off the beaten track but worth a detour. It's more a restaurant than a pub, and the food is well above average. The atmosphere is...

Came highly recommended but we found it disappointing & very average. There was a group of us & we each had different meals but none were anything special. We have been before and enjoyed it but not this time

It was the best roast dinner that I've ever had out. You got a huge piece of meat and the roast potatoes were cooked perfectly. The chairs were really comfortable and they did a child's portion (which wasn't much smaller than the adults) for my...

Having read some of the reviews our were expectations were high, but we found this to be a disappointing Sunday Roast. Although there was a good selection of vegetables, the beef was sliced very thinly, plus it was chewy, thus spoiling the meal. The staff...

OMG! The best vegetarian dish I have ever tasted. The Aubergine dish is to die for. Steak pie also amazing I'm told. My fussy daughter ate every last bit. Staff amazing, lovely setting. Whats not to love!😍

Excellent food, brilliant service and friendly service, in a cosy and comfortable setting. Can't fault anything about our experience.

An excellent Sunday evening was spent at the Manor House. Staff were quick and attentative. A good choice of drinks were on offer and the "Sunday Dinner" we had in the evening was of a very good quality. We both would look forward to eating...

We had great food and fantastic service at Manor House. It's a very rare thing for a party of 8 to come away with no complaints about any of the 3 courses we all had. We had omnivores, vegetarians and vegans in the party and...

This place is exceptional. The staff are friendly, attentive and made you feel right at home. The food is delicious and varied from starters to desserts. They even have Olive Ice-cream, which is delicious. We are most definitely coming here again.❤️

My wife and our two youngest visited today on our way back from Grizedale forest. We had a salad and a sharing board which were both great and my wife was particularly impressed with the Rhubarbra Streisand cocktail ! The chap that served us was...

Excellent meal with very good and friendly service. Well worth the trip along the narrow roads to get there.

Came here with family ranging from 4 to 77, with a 50/50 split of vegan and non-vegan, and all of us were very happy with both the food and the service! I had the vegan roast option, which was a butternut squash, lentil, and almond...

Delicious home-cooked food with plenty gluten free options in a tastefully decorated restaurant set amongst gorgeous scenery. Friendly welcoming staff. Visited twice during our week-long stay in the area and would definitely recommend to others.

Amazing food. Fabulous service. Would highly recommend. Vegan options and great kids menu. Quality of all our food was great.

I really liked the restaurant! Very cozy and good atmosphere! Attentive and kind staff! I enjoyed it!

Located on the southern edge of the Lakes, the Manor House is a little tricky to find but well worth making the effort for what awaits is excellent food and drink. My wife had the duck breast and I had the battered haddock, both of...

Managed to sneak in just before they finished serving at 8 on a Sunday evening. The roast was brilliant. Huge tasty Yorkshire pudding (and we’re from Yorkshire!). Lovely meat, great veg. Highly recommend!

We had been staying locally and after not having had the best meals elsewhere we were recommended to try the Manor House, as it was my birthday we went ahead and booked.. So pleased we did.. The whole experience was fabulous! We were seated by...

We booked on the day using the website. It was blissfully sunny, so we chose to sit outdoor, although it was breezy, and I needed a hoody after an hour. The waiter was friendly and helpful. I chose smoked chicken salad with apple and rocket...

15", I would reckon. Didn't have a tape measure with me but I reckon our Sunday roast came on 15" plates, and they were full from wall to wall. Sometimes this is a bad sign. Quantity replaces quality. But not here. A grocer's shop of...

The roast rump of lamb was succulent and tender, the sea trout was sweet and plentiful. Followed by a rhubarb soufflé, like eating a sugar coated cloud. Exquisite

This was a disappointment as we had heard good things about this establishment, However we found the roast chicken tasted like a microwaved breast of chicken in packet gravy.

Booked in advance for stopover in campervan. Parking free or a charge for EHU. Great roast beef dinner and all night toilet facilities. Clean friendly and good night's sleep as in a very quiet area. Would recommend...

My partner and I made a fairly lengthy journey to Manor House and were delighted we made the effort ,Our meal was superb ,the service was prompt and friendly and the seating very comfortable .The whole place had a great and welcoming ambience and it...

Great food, atmosphere and service. They even have spaces for a few campervans with electric hook-up

The food and service at this restaurant is EXCELLENT. We were in the Lake District for 4 nights and ate here twice, it was that good. Booking is recommended. Very dog friendly. My dad has an egg allergy and they were so helpful and he...

What can I say except this place is EXCELLENT. The staff were five star, the food five star unlike the Lakeside where we were staying. It’s twenty minutes from Newby Bridge slightly off the beaten track but well worth.

Really nice venue and the food was beautiful. I had Fish and Chips the Fish was really fresh and a good size. My husband had Steak and we shared a Rhubarb Souffle and enjoyed our Wine and Baby Guiness. Highly recommended Thanks

The reviews do not do the food, friendliness and services justice! Well worth the trip - do not miss the gem!

We found this restaurant on TA and it didn’t disappointed. We visited in the middle of the week so it wasn’t very busy. I like how the restaurant is decorated, the toilets were very clean. The service was fantastic, the food very traditional but served...

Have dined at the Manor House twice recently. A good menu, with traditional dishes and more creative meals that you wouldn’t make at home. Beautiful presentation, delicious food and good service. Have been for a quiet midweek meal and also a Sunday roast on a...

Just warm enough to sit outside in the sun. Service was good and the food was well presented and very tasty. This is a quality place, that does it right.

Quite possibly the best waiter service I’ve experienced. We took our 3 year old with us for a family meal and Ashley who served us was brilliant. He picked up on our daughters name and engaged with her. Brought her meal first so she didn’t...

Visited the Manor House this week whilst on holiday in the lakes. The reviews are great so thought I’d give it a go and I wasn’t disappointed! the food was incredible! Definitely recommend the steak & Guinness pie, I asked to swap the mash for...
