Outgate Inn in South Lakeland

Outgate Inn is a gem of a find! Amazing customer service and food was homemade and super tasty. Have a great back area which is lovely in the summer too. Definitely one we will be visiting again such a freindly family feel to this pub. A lovley country pub and restaurant, where all are made to feel very welcome. Great value for money too.

Lovely warm welcome. Relaxed atmosphere. Good choice on the menu, Food is very good. Located between Ambleside and Hawkshead. There is a car park but if you want to leave the car behind it is easily reached by bus, with bus stop right outside the door. I would highly recommend.

Such a warm, friendly and relaxed pub. Excellent food and very reasonably priced for the quality. Cosy fire, sports on the TV, dart board. Will be back!

Fantastic family friendly pub with quality food. The Inn has a real welcoming atmosphere.

Gorgeous pub! The food was amazing and the bar staff/owners were so friendly!! Definitely will be coming here again.

Great roast dinner there tonight. Super welcoming staff. Thanks

I really enjoyed my time at the Outgate inn. The staff were friendly and helpful and the open fire was a welcomed addition on a cold day. The festive menu was superb with lots of different dishes to choose from. It has a cosy, family friendly atmosphere and I will definitely return.

Fabulous! Had dinner there while on holiday. Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff, and the biggest fish and chips I’ve had in my life! Nice crispy batter. Beer was good too. Will definitely go back.

Great atmosphere. Cosy pub. Great food. Lovely staff who were professional and good knowledge of their drinks.

What a shame. It used to do lovely food but must have changed hands.

Food not so good, service brought by what looked like a tradesman...won't be visiting again.

Been for food twice, absolutely delicious both times! Cheerful service!

Fabulous pub ...hosts are amazing and the food is fantastic

Sunday lunch was fabulous here today! Staff friendly & attentive too.

The second time finishing our walks here this month at the Outgate Inn. Terrific dog friendly pub, with amazing, friendly staff. The food is lovely and tasty. My fave is the steak n ale pie with fresh veg n chunky chips!! There are other menu choices, which look amazing and most likely as tasty as my fave!! 😋

Lovely food and excellent staff.

Great pub, top ales and a nice rural setting.

Really nice and friendly staff with decent pub food.

Stopped off on a rainy day after a walk around tarn hows. Found a quiet pub serving decent pub food with lager and ales to match. It was around £23 a head for our group, we ordered a drink and a meal each with few starters to share. Apparently the place has just been taken over by new owners but this didn’t seem to affect the quality of the service which was superb and friendly.

Super friendly new owners. A very Warm welcome to us all, even though all soaking wet with two very wet cold doggies, a nice warm fire was put on to dry us all out. The food was brilliant and huge portions! This is a “proper” pub with a lovely atmosphere.

Lovely pub. New landlady welcoming and friendly. Food was amazing!! Really enjoyed it! All staff helpful and accommodating. Very happy with little find while driving past.. definitely worth a stop!

Had a lovely lunch today in the garden. The sandwiches were lovely, as were the staff. Thankyou. A lovely break on our walk around the Hawkshead area, scenery stunning. Very dog friendly too.

Nice cool drinks after a long walk lovely service

Found this place whilst trying to find way back to Windermere..... Very quiet pub apparently only just reopened. The landlady and her little girl were very friendly and chatty and the beer was very nice.

Never been here, but constantly ask for my review

Signs outside with open times but all locked up looking like closed for business. Stuff on tables seen through dirty windows,not looking like it's ready to open any time soon! No indication of closure on their website

Staying only a few metres away from the outgate inn only to find it closed for most of the week. If meals not available then surely a beer would have been. It is the main summer holiday.

Arrived with hopes of dinner. Already found nothing available Hawkshead. Although all tables reserved, got us in on 1 if we could be out by time of reservation. Had meals & drink. Would've had pudding but no one came back to take our order. Burgers & chips. Good standard pub fare. A few dogs in, odd table or bar 4 drinks only.

Ordered fish and chips, was OK, but not stand out good. No tomato ketchup either, but I did see one of the staff with 2 bottles in hand later, must have been out to buy some.

Local and only a 2 minute drive or 25min walk from hawkshead. Great food and very friendly staff, good service and a big beer garden out the back.
