What a lovely warm welcome we received from the staff at this pub. Our first night of our holidays my partner, myself and our two black Labrador girls turned up at the pub starving, tired and in desperate need of a rest after being stuck on the M6 for what seemed like forever!! When we arrived we had missed last orders for food. Being a small village there was no local chip shops or takeaways near which meant us having to ride around not knowing the area looking for something to eat. The lady behind the bar did no more but found us a comfy seat where our girls could stretch out, poured our drinks and made sure the girls had water, gave us the menus and said I can’t see you starve . We enjoyed what I believe was the best fish and chips ever with very generous portions! Because we were shown so much kindness we decided to give our custom every night of our stay and I must say every single night and every single meal we were greeted and looked after. I would definitely recommend this pub and the staff to anyone they went above and beyond for us. Sunday roast is an absolute must is your visiting over the weekend period! Thanks peeps for making our holiday 😊 Kat, Martin, Belle and Mollie from Tamworth, The Midlands x

Absolutely apalled the way I have just been treated by what I assume was the manageress, maybe the barmaid?? We dined last night and I have to say the food was average, we both had steak and kidney pudding one was fine but the other was oversized and under cooked...gloopy. However, the bang bang cauliflower starter was amazing. We didn't complain as the surroundings and staff in general were very pleasant so much so we booked for the following evening, tonight. I ordered the lamp rump pink as expected, however it was almost raw. I had to go to the bar to find the waiter who immediately agreed it was way undercooked, and returned it to the kitchen. Once returned the lamb was ok however the veg was not hot and the gravy was lacking. I advised the waiter as I went back to the lounge and he apologised and said he would remove it from the bill. So at this stage all was dealt with in a helpful and professional manner! Until I went to pay! The lamb hadn't been removed, I questioned this and was asked what was wrong so I advised and basically the manner in how I was questioned was abhorrent. A lesson in both manners and customer service is required. I hasten to add all the staff and Darren I believe the owner manager where beyond reproach, it was just the lady behind the bar. Maybe they/ she believes that the 4.5 star reviews means nothing is questionable. However we are all human and everything is not always perfect, mistakes happen and should be dealt with accordingly.

Visitamos para almorzar, con el plan de reservar nuevamente para algunas noches esa semana, sin embargo, nunca regresamos. La llegada inicial fue buena, el personal era amable y nos llevaron a una mesa limpia y agradable. Después de esto, tuvimos la sensación desde el principio de que el lugar era un pequeño peligro en su servicio al cliente. Era como si todo el personal no estuviera seguro de cómo hacer las cosas. Conseguimos las bebidas equivocadas y la comida estaba bien. Muy sencillo, había verduras muy pobres en el plato y en dos platos no había verduras ni ensalada, incluso con el scampy, que era solo patatas fritas y scampy. Fue solo después de nuestra visita que descubrimos que el lugar tiene nuevos administradores. Eso respondió a muchas preguntas.

Dinner proved to be very tasty backed by very good service - to the extent that we also booked breakfast for the next morning as our pub did not offer it early enough for us to start our walk onwards to Coniston.Recommended to fellow walkers.

Having had a bad experience or 2 last Summer have been back when the manager came back last year and had some really nice steaks and other meals especially fish and chips. . Been a few weeks ago had steaks and 2 out of 4 of us had chicken Caesar salad Steaks ok BUT ceasar salads very disappointing no croutons no parmesan cheese very little dressing and more starter size than main course. Told Barmaid who just shrugged said nothing. Then last week Sunday Roast was cold and was clearly warmed up meat. ( Bank Holiday weekend) Come on guys bit more consistency. I am a big beer fan and they used to have a great selection but all a bit samey these days nothing remarkable, The spark and the buzz seems to have gone. I would readily recommend the place but seems to be good some of time and extremely average other times. Friends have however stayed in the rooms and I have seen them and they are TRUELY EXCELLENT My friends have stayed a couple of times and could not fault them

We were fitted in for a table for 2 on a busy Saturday evening and we were grateful that the staff served us as soon as they could. Unfortunately, the 'special' chicken and mushroom pie I ordered was completely tasteless, the chicken was dry and there were barely any mushrooms. The accompanying vegetables were plain boiled, very uninspiring. A basic dish that is not hard to get right. My boyfriend's steak was also tasteless and not a great cut of meat. I think the kitchen could try harder to be honest.

I live and work in the Lakes and regularly eat out with my wife and friends. I have eaten in most of the pubs around the South and Central Lakes and I keep coming back to the Old Kings Head as the food here is fantastic! The Steak and Ale pie is without a doubt the very best in the lakes, if not the UK. Other pubs may advertise that theirs is the best, but honestly they don't have a thing on the Old Kings Head pie. However, saying that, it could do with a little extra gravy. But they are always happy to supply a jug when asked.

Gammon excellent, fish pie great, fish and chips great but unfortunately lamb shank was a dried up, tough piece that looked like it came from a supermarket packet. All chips and other veg etc good. We mentioned lamb to waitress and chef and received an apology but nothing else. As it cost £13, thought maybe an offer of something back would have been appropriate. Other stuff to choose from but two choices we made originally had run out. Don't not go on the strength of this but choose carefully.

Birthday meal, nine people, Sunday lunch menu. The starters were plentiful and tasty - if you are not a big eater then skip these for the main course! Between us we tried each of the roasts and the pork special. The sauce for the porkloin was excellent, we even asked for & received seconds! Similarly with the gravy. As it was a birthday we had champagne with the starters and must say it was a very decent couple of bottles. The waitress was very good, putting us at ease and answering all our questions including where she was from as she had a beguiling accent! After a fine meal we were reduced to just 4 puddings and a spectacular cheeseboard. The cheese board & biscuits did an entire circuit of the table with some of it's lesser known contents -Slate cheese - especially enjoyed. A hearty meal and a very happy experience. Thank you

Visiting the village on a Saturday and came across this pub and booked for early tea that night, good job because at 6.30 it was busy. The surroundings are clean, fresh and pleasant, the food menu is varied and accommodating for all tastes and pockets and the service was OK, only problem was I ordered mine with No added black pepper and everything came covered in black pepper so I could not taste the delicious fish dish. I did not return as I was pretty hungry but would return as the food is good.

We called in for a drink on the first night of our holiday and decided to book a table for a meal for my husbands birthday the following evening. We were with friends and decided the place was decorated in the trendy country look which is the fashion of the moment with deer heads, checked curtains and leather sofas etc. As we were trying to converse somebody behind the bar we needed some music, which was too loud, too poppy and frankly drove us out within the next ten minutes. Our meal the following night was very ordinary, my husbands gammon and chips arriving without the advertised tomato and fried egg. Despite the trendy decor for us the pub lacked atmosphere. Apart from one lady who seemed to be very switched on and busy the staff seemed disinterested. Wouldn’t recommend.

The barmaid with the eyebrows drawn on with coal was stupidly rude, and even turned away a couple for the same reason. AVOID.

As a family including our 20month old grandson we all enjoyed a very pleasant evening. The atmosphere very very friendly, the environment was clean and warm. The food well presented and extremely tasty. Good choice with a varied menu. We will return!

Warm fire and freshly refurbished, this pub is now a place to go. Extensive menu with specials board. Ladies toilets are up some stairs (could be a problem for elderly or wheel-chair bound). Lovely range of quality mixers (Fever Tree) and non-alcoholic drinks as well as a range of beers and lagers. Cooler was playing up when we were there but staff were willing to exchange the beer without any problem. Friendly waiters and waitresses. Could do with sharp knives for certain dishes (pheasant). Beautifully presented food. Quality ingredients used.

Stumbled upon this lovely pub today, it was freezing outside but the fire was going and it was lovely and warm. We were made to feel very welcome. Not a huge menu but there was a specials board. I ordered hot pot and hubby ordered the burger, both arrived piping hot and tasty. Prices very reasonable, will return.

It had been a long time since we visited Broughton, so as we were in the area we decided to have a meal at the Old Kings Head. The staff were very friendly and the meals were tasty and well cooked.

Food and service were excellent. Has a modern decor and accommodating service. Would eat here again. Make a reservation or face the snooty attitude of the maitre'de

Why can't I get the old kings head as a pub rather than an attraction or hotel?

Very welcoming pub, good variety food on menu & blackboard specials. My sister & I ate here 25.5.17. I had excellent steak & ale pie with chips and veg. Generous portions, didn't have to wait too long, and vegetables al dente.and good and hot. Sister ate fish pie which all disappeared. It had a cheese and breadcrumb topping. We didn't have space for desserts AND they cheerfully gave me a doggie bag. Yum. Steak pie was meltingly tender. Vegetarian options available too. Cheerful/attentive waitress and waiter. Several varieties of elderflower cordial/presse available.

Had visited this pub a few years ago and not impressed. Staying in Broughton for two nights and nowhere else serving on the first night we thought we would have a look. Glad we did.and so we eat here both nights!

We were in the area on a short break and phoned up last minute and although the place was busy we were found a table.

My husband and I have had many excellent Sunday roasts and the meat is cooked to perfection. Nice rare roast beef but if you like it cooked well done, they will oblige. The best roast potatoes we have ever eaten. Awesome. Well worth a trip to our lovely little village The veg is also superb. Meals during the week are also excellent. Delicious Barnsley lamp chops this week and an excellent T bone stark from Tysons butchers and again cooked to perfection. Well worth a visit.

Excellent Sunday roast, probably the best we've had in a pub. Beautiful medium rare beef, crisp roasties, good Yorkshires and fresh veg.

Stayed in in Furness the weekend of 17/07/2016. Booked a table for 2 for evening meal. Arrived on time, had to seek out staff who then seated us, and took drinks order which eventually arrived. Waited over half an hour for somebody to come and take food order. We then asked one of the waitresses to take our order and she advised they were not taking orders for another half an hour. So we asked how much we owed for the drinks and said we would leave. A few minutes later another waitress came apologised and asked for our order. We told her we were not prepared to wait any longer, and were only waiting to pay for our drinks. She then told us to have the drinks on the house and we left. Other restaurants were either booked up or opening later. So, if it wasn't for the landlord of the place we were staying in who rustled us up a couple of sandwiches, we would not have eaten. Very disappointed.

Terrible customer service! The young girl at the till clearly did not want to be there. She was huffing and puffing at customers! Yes, it was very busy as yesterday, 15th October was a beautiful autumn day but I would think they would be glad of end of season trade! I could not sit down because they were so busy so opted to ask for take away coffee and cake, only to be told by her 'I'm not doing take away'. Really? The local co-op is closed for a refurbishment and they really could capitalise on that if they employed more capable, less miserable staff! Shocking!! Won't return!

Called here for a takeaway lunch, used them several times before. Service was disappointing to say the least. Not a please or thankyou from the ladies working in the shop - even when I pointed out they'd only charged me for 1 flat white! Previous reviews also highlight the fact that the staff are miserable, they respond but do nothing to address the concerns raised. Also, I would've thought that as u was the only customer in the shop on a very wet day would have been positive for them - obviously not! Not sure I'll return here.

Visited here with my Dad today. Asked for a tea cake and then a scone both not on the menu anymore. I had a bagel with salmon and cream cheese paid over £8 and that was it no sides, no even a bit of salad - didn’t taste great. Dad ordered pancakes in the end 2 tiny pancakes on a dish - still hungry when we left. Not great service either. Disappointed!

Stopped to have a tea, latte and a slice of carrot cake. Great service and a huge slice of cake that we shared. Great value for money.

Called in for a coffee and snack after our frequent walk along the bay and round back into Arnside. When this first opened I was a little wary as we are used to small intimate tea/coffee shops in Arnside. However this was our second visit and as we entered we were greeted by obviously the front of house guy “David”. Wow does this guy know how to do it Welcoming ,friendly, Northern (always a bonus). Had a lovely coffee and Hubby had a great crisp bacon bun. The vibe in this cafe/restaurant is great., modern but great service. We live quite locally and are encouraged to go in the evening now as well. In our opinion the best restaurants are always about the front of house and Crossfields has it right. Everyone in this place has a great view of our beautiful Morecambe bay.
