Regent Hotel Restaurant in South Lakeland

Friendly staff that welcomed us (family of four), without a booking. Food arrived within a reasonable timescale, was tasty/ well presented on plate but was over priced for the ingredients and quality of cooking. My pheasant was very dry, little or no seasoning on smashed potatoes and the kids meal was a bowl of pasta with very little vegetables. As we were visiting and it was an unplanned meal, it did the job. But given the prices and quality of food we would probably not plan to return.

We attended as a family. I asked for the Angus Burger, as did another in my group. There were no options of how you wanted it cooked and when they arrived the two were visibly different. While my father's burger was cooked through, mine was rare. I sent it back and 5 minutes later the waitress came to ask me if I wanted it replaced. She said it would take 5 minutes to cook another. 10 minutes later as everyone else was finishing their meals my food had not arrived. I cancelled the order, spoke to the manager and requested a refund. Despite being refunded, the apology for undercooked food and poor service was notable only by its absence.

Lovely setting, good service, well sized portions of quality food. Its a mid to higher price but worth it for a pleasant evening in a great ambience.

Visited this lovely restaurant on 2 successive nights in June, enjoyed both evenings. Staff really welcoming and service excellent. Good menu, good food and well presented. Thank you to all the staff for making our visits enjoyable. 10/10.

We visited here after looking it up and seeing all the good reviews. The service was good and there was not a long wait for the food. We had the crispy pork belly bites and tempura prawns for starters. The prawns were good but the pork belly was a bit disappointing, being described as crispy, I was expecting a nice layer of crackling on the top, but there was only a tiny bit of crackling and the pork was not really crispy! We had the chicken burger and the Table 22 burger for mains. These were okay but nothing special.

Staff really friendly and helpful, booked via email and recieved 10% discount due to staying at a local hotel. Food was great, average wait time good for it being valentines and slightly busy.

Visited recently for a meal. Warm welcome from friendly staff. Plenty of choice on menu. Did not wait long after ordering and all 4 of us enjoyed meal. Would recommend and visit again

Had a family meal here, lovely steaks, delicious lamb, venison could have been a little rarer, soup and soufflé outstanding , deserts delicious! Lovely surroundings and brilliant staff

Visited Table 22 yesterday evening, warm and welcoming atmosphere, staff friendly and welcoming. We chose the steak from the menu, no option other than serloin. The presentation of the food was good, the only disappointment was that I had asked for medium rare and it was medium well,and slightly chewy. Everything else was spot on including the aked cheesecake dessert and Irish coffee!

Very welcoming, top service and tasty food. Definitely recommend this as the best place to eat in Ambleside Pier. Thank you!

This is our second stay at the lake house, and we dined quite often at table 22. Although there are numerous places to eat in and around Ambleside, we chose table 22 as the staff are so welcoming. Everybody is welcoming and helpful. The food is excellent and consistently so. I must say, the steak was my favourite dish.

We booked dinner in advance at the restaurant whilst staying at the Regent Hotel as it was almost impossible to have dinner without prior booking. The staff (particularly Francesco) were very friendly and made us feel welcome. Both the salmon and cod dishes were delicious and so were the cheese cake and sticky toffee pudding were exceptional. Highly recommended.

Just went for a main & desert I had the Duck with dauphinois potatoes & my wife went for the aubergine koftas (close call between the cheese soufflé) - for desert I had the white chocolate cheesecake & my wife had the sticky toffee pudding - all the food was very good as was the service. Would also add the wine list was good & varied. Would recommend as a nice meal for couples at a reasonable cost

Probably one of the best meals we’ve ever had. Superb food. Hard to criticise. I had lamb shoulder and my partner had cheese soufflé. Absolutely delicious

Very disappointed to only have 1 vegetarian option for both the starter and main courses there were no vegan options either. The meal itself was quite pleasant orange and ginger soup starter, cheese soufflé for main Service was good

Nuestra comida fue realmente agradable y definitivamente lo recomendaría si se hospeda en la casa del lago Ambleside. Mi compañero pidió la tarta de pescado y tuve la hamburguesa de pollo. El ambiente era bastante tranquilo debido a covid pero no me puedo quejar del servicio, especialmente al día siguiente cuando pedimos comida para llevar desde aquí y fueron muy serviciales.

Nos alojamos en la casa de huéspedes hermana de The Regent, The Townhouse, por lo que podemos reservar una mesa aquí durante nuestra visita reciente (actualmente está abierta solo para huéspedes del hotel). Tuvimos 3 campos, todos deliciosos, bien presentados y de alta calidad. El entrante de melón con sorbete de champán era ligero y refrescante y el salmón maravilloso. El personal es muy amable y servicial también con un servicio rápido.

La crítica anterior está entusiasmada con la hamburguesa, sin embargo, desafortunadamente, la que me sirvieron no era buena en absoluto y tenía las características de la comida congelada. Me sorprendió que este fuera el caso según la descripción del menú y la apariencia generalmente positiva del restaurante. Ya que las otras comidas ordenadas por nuestra mesa estaban bien y la camarera era muy buena, le doy 3 estrellas. Las bebidas tardaron en aparecer, en algún momento a mitad de la comida, lo que no debería suceder, tal vez tuvimos mala suerte.

Fui aquí durante el fin de semana y solo están abiertos para los huéspedes del hotel en este momento, pero la comida fue increíble. Después de un gran día de caminata, esto es exactamente lo que necesitábamos. Hay un menú elegante y un menú de bar y realmente quería la hamburguesa. Fue la mejor hamburguesa que he comido

Three courses - each one was well presented. Cooked perfectly. Full of flavour from the ingredients as opposed to salt, sugar,etc. Well balanced and generally very well done

Exceeded our expectations. We were staying in the hotel where Table 22 is located, and didn't expect to find such an amazing restaurant on the premises. But Table 22 is wonderful. Such a well-crafted menu and perfectly-balanced mix of flavours. The chef is a genius. It was so good that we changed our plans to enable us to eat there again. Recommended.

Lovely atmosphere and food. Selection of food good for starters and main including gluten free, but poor selection of desserts for gluten free (hence only 4 star rating for review), basically ice cream, which was pity. Food and drinks reasonably priced. Will visit again

We ate there twice last week - Lots of choice - Excellent food, lovely and fresh - Great Hotel in a beautiful location as only 100 yards from Lake Windermere.

Quite by chance we booked into Table 22 for dinner on a Monday which was termed "steak night". The offer was 2 sirloin steaks and a bottle of wine for £29.95. To our pleasant surprise, the stekas were delicious and cooked perfectly and generously sized. Our daughter ordered from the menu and was also delighted with her meal.The staff were very friendly and the service excellent so would have no hesitation in recommending.

Después de tres visitas previas a varios restaurantes de Ambleside en los últimos años, todavía teníamos que disfrutar de lo que consideraríamos una excelente comida. Una pareja estuvo cerca pero, por varias razones, no dio en el blanco. Por casualidad, en nuestra última noche en Ambleside decidimos caminar desde nuestro hotel cercano a la Tabla 22.Desde el principio, el personal no podría haber sido más amable con nosotros. Llegamos sin reserva y ya estaban bastante ocupados y tenían reservas para varias mesas aún por llegar. Pero nos encontraron con gracia y nos alegramos mucho de que lo hicieran. Toda la experiencia fue excelente. El ambiente era excelente (manteles blancos siempre son bienvenidos) y el personal fue maravilloso. La comida era hermosa ya un precio muy razonable. Terminamos nuestra comida con café en la zona del bar y nos sentimos muy contentos. Mi único pedido sería que la canasta de pan recién hecha sea solo eso. El pan estaba ligeramente tostado y era demasiado quebradizo y seco. Pero todo lo demás fue excelente. Al contrario de otra revisión reciente en la que el crítico recomendó cenar en el Waterhead, debo estar totalmente en desacuerdo. La comida allí carece de sabor y es demasiado cara y el comedor carece de ambiente. De hecho, mi pareja y yo no podíamos comer nuestros platos principales, tan pobres eran los platos. Desearía haber encontrado Table hace 22 años y felicito al equipo por ofrecer una experiencia tan maravillosa.

We are here as we arrived late at our Hotel the associated lake house. They offered a 10% discount so thought I'd would be easy just to visit rather than walk into town. Have to say a little disappointed. The starter was so which was piping hot suggesting heated Inn the microwave and the fresh bread was crunchy like being warmed in the oven. The main was very nice and enjoyable. My wife founder three opposite with her starter being great but three main was a cold cheese soufflé. For the price somewhat disappointing all round.

Tuvimos una cena encantadora aquí. Nos alojamos en el YHA y la mesa 22 estaba a poca distancia, así que pensamos en probarlo. Nos recibió un personal encantador y nos dieron un asiento en una habitación cerca del bar donde podíamos mirar el menú a nuestro propio ritmo mientras disfrutamos de una bebida.El entorno era encantador y ofrecía una deliciosa comida y vino a un precio razonable.

Han pasado casi 5 años desde la última vez que visitamos aquí, y una vez más nuestra casa de huéspedes tiene un trato con este restaurante, así que reservamos una mesa nuevamente. Bueno, debo decir que ha mejorado desde sus altos estándares. Anteriormente le di a este lugar una reseña de 5 estrellas. Agregaría estrellas adicionales esta vez si pudiera.El plato de sopa era delicioso, el pollo principal era rico pero sabroso, y mi postre de trineo era para morirse. El servicio también fue excelente: atento, eficiente y amable, bastante excepcional. Realmente vale la pena una visita para una ocasión especial, en mi opinión.

We were staying in Ambleside and we visited Table 22 for my girlfriend’s birthday and I can’t recommend this place enough! The food from the Souffle to the Braised Beef was superb and the staff were very warming. I will definitely bring my parents over the xmas period. Thanks again to all the staff and chefs at the Regent and Table 22!

Visited the table22 restaurant in Ambleside the other day with my boyfriend for a meal and everything was perfect. We were treated like royalty from all the lovely staff and the food was amazing. Highly recommend.

Tenía el pastel de carne y cerveza 4/11/19. La comida estaba fría, el puré estaba lleno de bultos, el pastel era duro y duro y las verduras estaban poco cocidas y fibrosas. Además de eso, me cobraron más de 14 por el plato. Comimos aquí en marzo y la comida fue muy buena. No sé si el chef ha cambiado o si ha cambiado de personal, pero no volverá a comer aquí. Pagando por el nombre en la puerta. Muy insatisfecho.

We stopped in on the recommendation from our B&B; and were not impressed. The waiter couldn't be less interested in us, drinks didn't come until AFTER the food, and the Sea Bass was far too heavily salted. We saw several other guests seated, served, and finished before we even saw an appetizer. Went to the Bar and Grill at Waterhead for coffee and dessert and were treated like royalty! Skip Table 22 and go to the Bar & Grill at Waterhead.

Popped in with the family on the off-chance of a table. It was before 6pm and there wasn’t a soul in the dining room. We couldn’t have been made less welcome if they had tried. I appreciate residents take priority and they have had decent reviews, so perhaps the food is decent, but a swift arrogant dismissal ensures I won’t be making an effort to go back in the future.

This restaurant is in The Regent Hotel where we were staying. The staff are really attentive without being obtrusive. The food is delicious and there’s a good choice of dishes without being overwhelmed for choice!

The food in this resteraunt is amazing you will not be dissapointed and if staying at the regent hotel it’s a must that you try it

We booked into the Regent Hotel in Ambleside on a Bed & Breakfast basis expecting to try Restaurants around the area. The Hotel was excellent and we ended up eating at the Hotels Table 22 Restaurant.

My wife and I had a lovely meal. Lovely restaurant and atmosphere. Good selection and portion size. Staff friendly and helpful. Overall excellent and recommend.

We always aim to eat in this restaurant when we visit Ambleside. The food is always amazing & you are always looked after impeccably.

We have visited several times over the years and one thing keeps us coming back is the great food, cosy and romantic atmosphere.

We visited here on Saturday of Bank Holiday weekend and had drinks outside on ‘The Deck’ and then chose the brisket burgers to eat which were delicious. We returned on Bank Holiday Monday at 4.45 for a drink and asked for availability in the restaurant bar area as we have a small dog. The staff informed us they had availability as it was quiet. When my husband went to confirm a table for 4 of us, just 15 minutes later, he was told they were fully booked and by then had also stopped serving food outside. Very disappointing as we then had to find somewhere else to eat.

Ambleside Lake House 宿泊者に10%割引してくれるというので行ってみました。予約なしだったのに席を確保してくれ、全て2人でシェアさせてくれました。落ち着いた雰囲気の中で食事を楽しめました。シチューのパイ包み焼きは量が多いですがオススメです。サラダはありませんが野菜は付け合わせてあります。

We had a meal here last week - the food was nice my only complaint was maybe a bit more vegetables with certain dishes. My husband had the lamb stew which was served in like a bread bowl plenty of veg with that - I had the blades of beef, which hardly had any vegetables the beef was lovely ( my husband had the night before at the Waterhead and the portion there was a lot bigger). Would not stop me eating here again and did get information about accommodation so might stay here in the future. Staff especially the waitress very pleasant.

Restaurant in the Regent Hotel. I already made comments about it in my review of the hotel. In summary, bad quality of food. We were 3 adults, we all ordered different dishes, and none of them was worth the money we paid. Definitely the restaurant turns the hotel down.

We’ve eaten at quite a few establishments in Ambleside over the year we have stayed in the town and this one beat them all. Pricing was fair and the staff were friendly. Food presentation was very good with decent portion sizes.

As always the food was good, it is not as extensive as it used to be, but is always of good quality and well cooked. For the first time we ate in the small room off the restaurant and this was really comfortable with a good atmosphere.

We stayed at the Lakeside Hotel and ate at Table 22 for dinner. The menu was varied and offered specials. The food was very good and reasonably priced. One of our main course orders was not what we ordered but this was sorted out quickly and efficiently. Would definitely return.

Excellent family friendly restaurant within a short walk from Ambleside Pier. Had a last minute Sunday lunch which was the best I’ve tasted in a long time! Fish dish that my husband had was very fresh. Kids portions are large. Staff are very friendly and cheery which was really lovely.

We had the shin of beef with horseradish mash and the fish. Promised that all dishes could be gluten free but no gf flour on our visit. the maitre d was knowledgeable and helpful (but a little too loud for the quiet small spaces. My husband hates my gluten free needs being shouted about in public ). The packed lunch we ordered from our hotel was not as ordered for our trip home...no butter on the bread as asked and g.f bread not toasted as asked. Water not fruit juice as orderred and no fruit option £7.50 for 2 slices of dry bread, small water, small crisps and a biscuit. Our written order was in the bag but not filled ...rather spoiled out memories of the place

visited twice excellent service, food and,wine list. Pleasant friendly atmosphere and hope to return .

Very frienly staff excellent food served in a very pleasant dinning room very good Menu for both food and wine

The menu is quite comprehensive but apart from one variation each day it doesn’t change. The daily special is not always changed daily.

Exceptional customer service, but unfortunately the food looked nice and posh but the taste was not very good. The thai fish cakes were like mush, the soup was a bit thin, the beer battered fish and chips(some were over cooked. We are from the seaside and the fish unfortunately didn't taste very fresh) the pudding however was very nice and the best course by far. Very disappointing considering the price was over £60 for a 3 course meal and one drink each.

Absolutely amazing service, more than friendly, professional and interested in you as a customer. The food on both occasions was exceptional, starts to mains all excellent. We did not have deserts, although it all looked so nice we just didn’t have the room for more. Thank you everybody who made our evening so nice

Service absolutely top notch, could t have faulted the greeting, it was like the staff had known me for years. The special or belly pork was absolutely mindblowing! My perception of a typical cut of belly pork was shattered with what I was presented with!! Amazing presentation. I simply left feeling very pampered and the £30 Bill was an absolute bargain in my eyes!! I will be back

Nos quedamos muy impresionados con este restaurante (parte del Regent Hotel, Ambleside) después de nuestra primera visita que decidimos volver a visitarlo. Mi esposa había pescado en ambas ocasiones y quedé impresionado. En la primera visita (del menú a la carta) y la moussaka griega en el menú de especialidades la segunda vez tuve un plato principal de cerdo. Ambos excelentes. Los precios eran muy razonables para el nivel de comida y servicio ofrecido.

Realmente disfruté de la comida aquí con buena elección y mucha variedad. Calidad de la comida buena y precios accesibles. Yo recomendaria

Comenzó bien con una bebida en el pequeño salón en la parte delantera del edificio mientras echábamos un vistazo a los menús. El personal es muy profesional.

El plato principal de cordero era delicioso y había un montón, excelente relación calidad-precio (hemos pagado casi lo mismo en los pubs), el personal es amable y profesional sin ser demasiado serio.

El principal problema con el menú fue la elección de la comida. Había tantas opciones deliciosas que habrían tomado 2 semanas para probarlas todas.

We had an excellent meal...the staff were first class, as was the food and drinks. Highly recommended, wouldn’t hesitate to book again. Great value for money!!

Sat in the cosy lounge and had the three cheese souffle and chicken burger and stp all were fantastic and service was professional and staff were excellent will deffonatly be back

Had a lovely meal at the Regent Table 22 with the family; attentive service in a friendly restaurant and made to feel comfortable from start to finish. We had the Cumbrian Sharing Board to start which was delicious and great for the family to share with a few other starters. I would highly recommend the Lamb shoulder!

Visited Ambleside for the first time with my boyfriend, and since we didn’t know the area well we went with the recommendation of Table 22 from our hotel (The Lakehouse) as it is their sister company I was told.

On arrival everything was promising sat at a bar table ordered drinks whilst waiting for our table. We thought this was a nice touch. However everything went downhill from here. 1st staff were having discussion over a local drink gin, appletiser we ordered which we felt was unprofessional. Then when a member of staff poured my drink she splashed it across my menu. The final straw was a staff member accidently spilling a drink over the table. Although she replaced the drink which was great. At first she said there was nothing she could do about changing the tablecloth on the table. We had to ask again if we could be moved to another table. Such a shame as the restaurant itself is very nice and the food was really nice. This restaurant has such potential such a shame.

Staff were great - very efficient and professional.

We had breakfast here as we were staying at the hotel and loved it - great choice aswell as gluten free choices and well cooked!

We were greeted by a most friendly attentive gentleman. The price was great as it was 2 for 1. Service was quick. The interior is good. I had the Cumberland sausage which was nice. Overall, it was a good experience !

We were staying at Lake House and chose to eat here for evening meals. The choice was excellent and the portion sizes good. The food was good quality and served hot. Good selection for gluten free and chef amends meals to suit. The service was friendly and good; we were not rushed and served at a pleasant pace

Our hotel recommended this restaurant and as it was raining we did not want to walk into Ambleside, this was local so we decided to try it. I am always a bit sceptical of such recommendations but this establishment did not disappoint. It is a very smart but relaxed venue. The welcome was very warm and friendly. All the the staff were lovely and the service was excellent. The food was really good too. We had the Cumberland sharing board which was full of tasty cuts of meats, cheeses and pickles. We then had the lamb stew and the ribeye gammon. Both were delicious. We finished with the Cumberland classic dessert of sticky toffee pudding which came with creme brûlée ice cream . It was a lovely evening, great atmosphere and fantastic food.

Have been here a couple of times they do a very good steak meal for two people ,including a bottle of wine,I think it's great value ,and very good food ,and the service was good,the recent hotel is very nice

Went for lunch 2 for 1, I had fish & chips wow, lovely plump fish, batter just right, homemade chips& tartare sauce with mushy peas as well, fish was huge & perfectly cooked. Other half had scampi which he also loved then apple crumble & custard. Amazing value faultless food, lovely place as well, only negative is lack of beer choice. Will definitely go back highly recommended.

Had the Gamon ribeye steak it was very good food is excelent and good value my husband had the trio sausage which he enjoyed well worth a visit

Delicious food. Great service. Reasonable prices. What’s not to like?! Pop into the bar beforehand and sit in a modern, comfy armchair to enjoy more great service.

Table 22 as part of The Regent Hotel is well worth a visit. We had dinner during two nights of our stay and the food was excellent. The mid-week deal of two mains and a bottle of wine for £25 was outstanding value. I just couldn't believe the innovative dishes we got, plus a nice bottle of Navara Tempranillo for that price. They clearly have a very good chef. We had drinks probably in every nook of the bar and everywhere was warm and comfortable to sit. Would recommend.

Ate here on 2nd night of our two night stay. High quality food and first class presentation. Really enjoyed the atmosphere which was really laid back. Service was spot on. Zero complaints from the four of us.

Ate at Table 22 six nights out of our seven night stay in the hotel. The choice was really good and every evening it was consistently good. The Winter Deals were really good value and the specials absolutely superb.

Great dining room lovely menu we were trilled with starters but the main course and pudding was exellent................The meat was fab great big portions. Pudding was to die for.

Very good quality food and attentive staff. The beef was fabulous extremely well coked and presented. The cheese board was also very good. All the meals coming out of the kitchen looked good.

Hemos encontrado y seguimos encontrando este restaurante muy bueno por cierto.

Llegamos a Ambleside bastante tarde un sábado, y nos metimos en la Tabla 22 por algo de comida caliente. Al principio nos sentíamos un poco mal vestidos, pero el personal era muy amable y no fue un problema. La comida era excelente, la mejor comida que he tenido en mucho tiempo, y recomiendo vivamente una visita. Comí soufflé de queso con pera y ensalada de nueces, que felizmente podía comer todas las semanas. Reservamos una mesa para nuestra última noche en Ambleside y disfrutamos de la misma calidad de servicio y comida.

Cuando nos registramos en el restaurante, nos dieron menús y nos preguntaron si nos gustaría sentarnos y examinar una bebida antes de la cena. Después de pedir nuestra comida, nos llevaron a nuestra mesa y nos sirvió un personal muy amable y educado. Vale la pena señalar que el menú no es pretencioso, comí una hoja de ternera cocida a fuego lento con puré de rábano picante la primera noche, y Lomo de Bacalao en un cassoulet de frijoles la segunda noche (ambos deliciosos), pero podría haber elegido fácilmente una hamburguesa o Un sándwich del menú. Otro punto importante es que, aparte del filete de solomillo, todos los platos principales tenían menos de 15 años, una ganga dada la calidad y la cantidad.

Ate here while staying at the Regent Hotel. Cannot fault the food, service or prices. Limited choice on menu, but quality above quantity counts.

Tuvimos una deliciosa comida en la mesa 22, con un gran servicio. No habíamos reservado, y el personal hizo todo lo posible para hacer espacio para nosotros. La comida era excelente, y cocinado a la perfección. El personal fue atento sin ser dominantes. Yo recomendaría este restaurante.

I mentioned the restaurant as part of my review of the Regent Hotel but this restaurant deserves a review of its own.

It was nice to be in a restaurant which, whilst busy, was not obtrusive in terms of surrounding noise. The menu was a little short, but with efficient service our meals were prompt, and fairly well done. Disappointing desserts...

Very good option for nice dining. Front of house gentlemen were excellent and waitresses good as well (bar man could have cheered up a little).

Went for an evening meal and found it to be a lovely quiet restaurant - no intrusive background music and no children. I had the lamb man & partner had the blade of beef & both were delicious. The chocolate dessert was even better Staff were really nice too. Would thoroughly recommend this restaurant, definitely paying a return visit next time we stay in Ambleside.

Booked blind as we were looking for a new experience. Lovely surroundings and pleasant staff,if unteained. Food average.niceginger icecream.

Great choice and all the dishes were amazing. The cheese souffle was one of the best I have tasted/ Great service

We were staying at The Lakehouse, and were given 10% discount to dine at Table 22 at The Regent Hotel (instant bonus!) the restaurant layout is intimate, the wait staff were friendly and helpful and the food was delicious. I had the chilled melon starter and super salad main (which was absolutely magnificent!) and my partner had the cured salmon starter and specialty lamb main. We’d recommend all four, and would definitely visit again.

Our first visit. Not sure how to put this but the welcome seemed odd front of house, Im sure it was not intended but had the feeling as though we were looked down on, we thought should we stay or not? Glad we did as the food was good. Salmon cooked perfectly and chicken was good. Waiting staff were attentive. Even if it is a busy night, first impressions do count and we are not sure we would go back.

Don't ever enter with children with you. You will hear many of the other guests tut that you have had the audacity to bring children within 20 feet of them, and the management pander to it, asking you if "you wouldn't be more comfortable in an area completely separate area".

Came here for a meal last June with my boyfriend for his birthday and was made to feel welcome as soon as we arrived. We had a local gin on the Deck which had great views of the lake, then were taken through to the restaurant. The menu had a great choice, and the staff and atmosphere was warming and made the evening that little bit better. I'd recommend the superb Cumbrian Sharing Board perfect to share as a starter, and the chicken in the sourdough bowl. We liked it that much that I'm bringing my parents here next week.

From moment of entering just felt unwelcome

We ate here a few times but on the deck as our weather was so nice staff were attentive and freindly and the food was very good. A good choice of wines and beers, enjoyed the LakeLand Larger.

Visiting Ambleside again, and thought we would try Table 22 , we booked a table lovely welcome and service.

Have visited twice this week whilst on holiday for our evening meal and have found the meals outstanding. Really delicious and very well priced. The service and ambience is second to none and would highly recommend. We are booked again later in the week as there is no competition anywhere in the same league.

Very disappointed, for an expensive restaurant we had the fish n chips which was extremely poor, chips were white and tasteless accompanied by a very bland fish with poor batter, the mushy peas and tarter sauce were also bland. This is a basic food, go across the road to the Watersedge far better. We come to the Lakes every year and this was the worst meal we have had, won't go back, a real shame.

Haven't stayed at The Regent but have had a few great breakfasts there. Good choice of cereals, pastries (including a lovely chocolate and lemon bread), yoghurts with fresh fruits and a range of dried berries and seeds including whiskey soaked raisins. Porridge was enjoyed by the rest of my family and my favourite cooked breakfast is their local sausage and great scrambled eggs. I'm told the pancakes & eggs Benedict are good too. Everyone is friendly and helpful and there is a welcome personal touch.

As a walker and down to earth person, I was worried about the previous ‘pretentious’ reviews. No need. The Cumbrian Sharing platter was fabulous and the highlight was the sticky jam and honey on the sausages. I had the blade of beef which was delicious, fell apart and with the mash was a hearty, tasty meal. Hubby had the slow cooked lamb in sour dough bread. It was amazing. Hearty, tasty and delicious. Sticky toffee pudding was generous and superb. We were offered tap water or bottled, nothing was pretentious. We had eaten at Lucy’s the previous night in Ambleside and wished we had eaten at the Regent both nights. Lucy’s was good, but the food here was far superior. The staff are friendly and congrats to the chef and his team, fab food. They make the food look as good as it tastes. Paul, one of the team, really cares if you’ve had a good experience and what can be improved. That’s it, from a Yorkshire Lass with high standards.
