Plato's, Bar, Restaurant with Rooms in South Lakeland - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Wow!!! Quite simply the Spiced Rubbed Monkfish was one of the best meals I’ve ever had! In the description it says “muscle cream sauce” which is completely inaccurate. What they actually mean is that the meal comes with like a dozen wonderful muscles! Sourdough bread, olives & oils was an excellent starter for the table to share. For informal you can sit in the bar area. If you want a less hectic scene the restaurant is perfect. I’d recommend a table facing the kitchen as it was just amazing watching how they all worked so well together. If you visit KL I’d highly recommend you have a meal here.

Food was good..service not so good...possibly new staff on and were having difficulty adding the bill up

Fabulous location, branded well with modern design. Lovely staff and delicious breakfast. However, the reason we booked was to not only just to experience the area but to sleep. ROOM 1 The floorboards are quite creaky which you could expect from the age of the building but upstairs was shocking. Thudding sounds of residents walking around their room. It was annoying which became stressful. The problem is we as guests should be able to walk around without annoying other guests.. I had to call Reception twice. Once before and once after midnight to ask them to investigate. Staff were accommodating. I would say to the owners of this hotel branding of this venue is fabulous we fell for it, sleep quality due to poorly maintained floorboards is not good enough if you are promoting a place to sleep. Visitors walk for miles during the day in this beautiful area and need rest, this includes sleep. We are well travelled we know quality and good value.  This is a cool bar, great food, shocking sleep experience. Be mindful.

Excellent bar and restaurant in lovely little village. Beautifully decorated and drink selection is excellent

Went for Sunday carvery, arrived 10 mins late due to lack of parking nr by. Was told by front of house to hurry up for food. The food was delicious but the service not so good. Won't be going back.

This is the second time I've visited Plato's in the historical town of Kirkby Lonsdale, this time for Sunday lunch. The food was excellent, the kids we were with loved it too especially the Yorkshire puddings! The service was also fantastic, all the staff were genuinely helpful and friendly, including the manager/owner who came over to talk to us to and made sure we were enjoying our visit. Oh and the ice cream was great too, we were recommended 'Thunderbolt' flavour and so glad we tried it. We were even given a quick tour of downstairs by the owner as we were enquiring about a potential function there in the future. Looks great. Will definitely be going back.

We had a lovely chateaubriand lunch. The service and meal was excellent. Highly recommend Plato's for a relaxed, welcoming destination whether for drinks or a meal. .
