Restaurant at Lyzzick Hall in Allerdale

My wife, in-laws and I ate here during a week's break at Underscar, near Keswick. A gem of a place situated on the east side of Basenthwaite, just north of Keswick. I would thoroughly recommend this to anyone looking for a bit relaxed luxury. I can't wait to go again.

Table tops tacky, Items on wine list not available but not signalled by waiting staff before ordering. Brioche a bit too oily for the pate entre. Broccoli and stilton soup excellent. Mains plates far to busy. Sea Bass over whelmed by the tomato sauce so flavour didn't come through. Venison really nice. Braised beef nice but a feeling this was because of the gravy. Chocolate brownie dessert adequate. Scenery outstanding.

Absolutely delicious and well portioned meals. The food was exceptional and the view was really beautiful, definitely worth a visit.

Delicious meal with beautiful view. Service was excellent with very friendly staff. We had 6 dishes between us and all were brilliant. We’re from London so used to nice restaurants but this exceeded our expectations and we’d definitely come back.

I decided to treat my wife to a meal in a restaurant that we hadn't been to before. When you get older you tend to go to the same places a lot but this was more of a fine dining setting and at a nice hotel in keswick set back from the town centre. We both enjoyed the soup to start with a nice warm role and the risotto was nice too. I had the beef main. We couldn't manage dessert so we ordered a cup of tea and a biscuit before a stroll around the grounds. A nice evening had for our anniversary.

My partner booked this hotel for my birthday. We were looking forward to eating in the restaurant as it had great reviews. So the price for a 2-course meal is £35. There were two vegan starters and 2 vegan mains for me to choose from. The starter was a vegetable soup which was alright but no way would I pay £10-£15 pounds for it in a restaurant. It was served with vegan bread (?) which was different from my partner's (he is not vegan). My bread looked like it was the most average shop bought kind whereas my partner's looked fresh and home-made. Then the main - I ordered a mushroom risotto. This was served with the most bizarre set of accompaniments. On my plate I had the risotto which was watery and flavourless, a portion of chunky chips, a portion of sweet potato fries, boiled broccoli, grilled red onion, a whole mushroom and 2 tablespoons of a mustardy sauce ( my partner's meat dish was served with the same sauce). Again, I could not imagine paying £20-£25 for a dish like that in a restaurant. If I had known the quality of food that I was going to get served, I would have happily gone to a restaurant in Keswick. If a restaurant claims to cater for vegans, they should do it properly with a focus on quality and flavour, not just piling a random set of vegetables on a plate. The only reason I am not giving 1 star is because the breakfast that was included with the stay was nice. Also the restaurant is in a lovely location with amazing views.

Had dinner here last Saturday for a special occasion and had the most wonderful meal in beautiful surroundings. Perfect service, perfectly timed with everything perfectly cooked.

We managed to book for an evening meal which was delicious. Relaxed atmosphere in spite of lockdown. Enjoyable first visit.

Qué joya es este lugar.Reservamos para el almuerzo muy tarde y nos las arreglamos para ir a buscar una mesa y estamos encantados de haberlo hecho.Excelente ubicación, vista fantástica, restaurante limpio y ordenado y servicio amable y profesional. Cuando se trata de comida. . . . Guau, realmente tuvimos un almuerzo increíble aquí.¡Ya estoy planeando regresar y también quedarme en el hotel, ya que este lugar es imprescindible!Muchas gracias! ! !

Como no residentes, no esperábamos una buena mesa, pero de hecho nos dieron lo mejor, en la esquina de la ventana con vistas al jardín y las montañas. Optamos por un almuerzo de dos platos y no nos decepcionó. Una combinación encantadora de sabores y bien presentada. Sobre todo, nos impresionó el precio. Un poco más de 60 en total, incluyendo una copa de vino de 250 ml, una tónica y café para dos. ¡Nada mal para cenar! El servicio fue amable sin ser autoritario o inauténtico (como a veces es el caso de los restaurantes de alto nivel). Recomiendo encarecidamente este restaurante para cualquier turista que busque una comida especial con una excelente relación calidad-precio, no lejos de Keswick. ¡Y una buena forma de pasar un almuerzo lluvioso!

Normalmente no escribo reseñas, pero después de la experiencia que tuve aquí, me sentí obligado a hacerlo. Asistí aquí con mi pareja para nuestra cena de aniversario. Habíamos estado planeando nuestras vacaciones por un tiempo y esta iba a ser nuestra comida especial. La razón por la que elegimos este lugar fue por las vistas a las montañas que se jactaban en su sitio web y en otras reseñas (así como lo que parecía un gran menú). Fuimos uno de los primeros comensales de la multitud de la noche y nos sentamos en un espacio donde solo una persona tenía una vista lateral de la cordillera, a pesar de que había otra área con sillas vacías, ambas frente a la cordillera. El propio anfitrión era frío y retraído. Notamos lo cálida que era su actitud hacia las personas que se alojaban en el hotel y que también vinieron después de nosotros pero consiguieron mejores asientos. Mi compañero me ayudó a mover la silla para que ambos pudiéramos ver el exterior. El anfitrión disgustado se acercó y dijo que la silla estaba demasiado cerca de otros comensales, a pesar de que mi compañero estaba sentado más cerca y todavía había una distancia de 2 m. Trabajando en la profesión médica y también como voluntario en el hospital Nightingale en Londres, no soy ajeno a las realidades del virus y no habría arriesgado mi salud ni la de otras personas sentándome demasiado cerca. El anfitrión tampoco ayudó a mover la silla, lo que para un lugar que intenta promocionarse con un buen servicio al cliente fue simplemente de mala educación. Estaba tan molesto con la actitud del restaurante que, para decirlo sin rodeos, era estirado y envejecido. El sentimiento general fue tan negativo que nos fuimos antes de que pudiéramos siquiera terminar nuestros entrantes, aunque se agradeció que no nos pidieran que pagáramos por esto. Absolutamente NO recomendaría esto a ninguna pareja joven profesional, ya que no serán tratados de la misma manera que los clientes mayores. Además, no se lo recomendaría a nadie que desee tener una comida con excelentes vistas porque aparentemente no pueden ofrecer esto a todos los clientes. Es un restaurante anticuado tanto en actitud como en decoración y no vale la pena su dinero o su tiempo.

Very clean COVID friendly distancing food exceptional all fresh produce cooked extremely well service charming and delightful .

Quite simply the best restaurant in the uk. Superb!! Attention to detail and staff input is simply head and shoulders above ant restaurant we have been in.

Nos quedamos a cenar, alojamiento y desayuno por dos noches. Las comidas aquí nunca decepcionan. ¡Incluso las verduras! Piensas "¿cómo le han dado tanto sabor a una zanahoria o un guisante dulce?" Es maravilloso. Los no residentes también pueden reservar. Menos mesas debido a Covid 19 y solo los residentes pueden ingresar a los salones en este momento. El personal es increíblemente amable.

Vivimos en Carlisle y tratamos de evitar los lagos durante el verano, ya que estamos muy ocupados, especialmente ahora con Covid. Mi mamá cumplió 86 años el domingo y no ha salido de casa desde marzo, así que pensé en llevarla aquí como lo he hecho anteriormente y lo disfruté muchísimo. Cualquier preocupación o inquietud que teníamos pronto se alivió ya que todo estaba bien organizado y la comida y el servicio fueron fantásticos. Nos sentamos en el jardín y tomamos té y café, después de lo cual fue maravilloso. Mi madre estaba tan feliz por un cambio de escena, excelente comida y servicio y no puedo recomendar este destino lo suficiente. Sigan con el buen trabajo y es bueno ver que los negocios de Cumbria prosperan nuevamente.

This privately run hotel has an excellent restaurant with very attentive staff. The food standard and presentation was one of the best we have had for some time. The views looking out over the mountains in this area of lakes whilst dinning were wonderful. The hotel itself had been very tastefully decorated to a very high standard.

Attentive staff and able to cater to dietary needs - vegeterians won't be disappointed. Really enjoyed the blue cheese panna cotta salad and chocolate ganache dessert. Service was fab and felt covid secure, with tables spaced apart.

We ate here mid week whilst visiting the area. The tables are very nicely spaced out. The staff were not wearing masks which I have to say I was quite happy about. The food was delicious, especially the beetroot cured smoked salmon. The slow roasted beef was tender and tasty and the fillet was melt in your mouth. Everything was beautifully presented. Service was excellent.

Always enjoy Lyzzick. Fantastic food. Beautifully managed hotel and professionally run by friendly manager and his staff.

We came for afternoon tea with family and friends, for a mixture of standard and vegan teas. Not only was Orsi and the team incredibly welcoming and helpful, where nothing was too much effort, but the afternoon tea was delicious. I had the vegan option and it was by far the best vegan afternoon tea I've had and went far beyond the usual fruit platter. There were innovative sandwiches, "sausage" rolls, scones and delicious pastries. Would highly recommend. Plus it must have one of the best views in the Lakes.

We stayed here for one night on the recommendation of a friend and regular visitor to the hotel. First impressions were good, and the room was well presented, however soon the cracks began to show. The bathroom window catch was broken and it was not possible to fully close it, making the room too cold. Some hotels and restaurants where the owners have taken their eye off the ball begin to be run for the benefit of the staff rather than the enjoyment of the guest.Pre dinner drinks were served in the bar, though in a very basic way- no napkins or coasters, no nibbles, incorrect glassware for the size and brand of beer.The menu read well, although it seemed too long and rather confusing. We opted for the 4 courses for £40, which included coffee.The starters were muddled and ill thought through, with probably 2 ingredients too many on the plate. Beetroot cured gravelax was served with a ‘slaw’ which was a grey vinegary and slimy textured pile of over processed vegetables and some unnecessary cherry tomatoes.The herb blini was too dry, and heavily textured . A simple dressed beetroot salad would have been a better accompaniment.A main of ‘Crispy skinned sea bass’ was served with a bizarre combination of accompaniments, including Spring onion risotto (on the menu as a dish on its own) some dry prawns, a range of purple vegetables which I could not identify- could have been potato or beetroot, a barely there reddish sauce a sprinkling of samphire and the ubiquitous cherry tomatoes. This dish arrived dried out, the fish skin was not crispy and the accompaniments did not go together or enhance the fish- what was wrong with well cooked fish, samphire, potatoes and a nice sauce? The other main of Pork wellington was similarly dried out and accompanied, including the cherry tomatoes again!Deserts were slightly better, though over garnished. Blood orange panda cotta came with additional whipped cream blobs and blackberries- it’s March!!!A creme brûlée with rhubarb arrived at the table stone cold. The crispy caramel topping had the rhubarb in syrup plonked on the top, making it soggy and there were more blackberries and a single raspberry. By 9pm most diners had left the dining room, but by then the staff were busy removing cloths and setting up for breakfast as we were still eating our meal.Coffee in the lounge was similarly accompanied by tidying up for the morning, making us feel we needed to go up to our room. At breakfast there were a couple of unpleasant incidents, including an obviously new waitress being ostentatiously ‘shown’ how to clear a table, then later being told off- the poor girl was clearly very embarrassed. A guest arrived 10minutes late for breakfast and was point blank refused service- it was a genuine mistake, and several tables were still occupied. Eventually he was served, but it was uncomfortable to witness.

We had a fantastic meal at this restaurant. The service was fabulous with extremely friendly staff. The building itself is lovely, very grand with a lovely lounge area to take drinks after the meal. Not the cheapest restaurant, but definitely worth it.

I've been here for a wedding dinner. Very nice service, elegant ambience, beautiful views but main reason to go back is the quality of food. Everything we ordered was amazing. All this comes with a price but still good ratio quality/price.

La comida y el personal aquí son excelentes. Realmente nos hizo sentir bienvenidos y el lugar en sí es hermoso, impecablemente presentado con un personal brillante. La comida en sí es de primera categoría, un muy buen menú respaldado con una selección de vinos de primera clase. Tendríamos que haber sido muy quisquilloso para criticar la comida, que era impresionante y mejor que muchos otros lugares con precios similares que hemos comido recientemente. En general, una gran noche y sin duda volveremos la próxima vez que estemos aquí.

I've not been back here for a little while but it still impresses. The staff are very good here, definitely no 16 year olds on gap years saying "Can I get yous owt else?" in this place. They are all well trained, polite, friendly and highly efficient.The food is stunning and never fails to impress. I wish they would say in the menu that the veg comes with a cheese sauce :/ but the experience is fantastic. Definitely remains among my favourite places to stay and eat.

Cenamos aquí anoche como un grupo de 5 (no residentes). A todos nos resultó difícil elegir entre los entrantes y los platos principales, ya que todo sonaba muy bien. El entrante de pato ahumado era hermoso y la cuchilla de ternera era preciosa. Tuve el bacalao con costra de hierbas, estaba perfectamente preparado. Las porciones son muy generosas y todos estábamos bastante llenos antes del postre, ¡pero logramos exprimirlos! El pan casero era el mejor y demasiado bueno para saltearlo. El ambiente fue excelente; Un comedor completo y un personal atento. Ha pasado mucho tiempo desde la última vez que estuvimos aquí, pero definitivamente regresaremos, la próxima vez creo que nos quedaremos como invitados.

Had dinner here with my daughter , it was excellent , the food was top notch , and the staff lovely , highly recommend can't wait to go again , 👍

Attentive staff, good food and great wine. The portions are larger than in other similar restaurants and I struggled to finish my trio of pork, which was very good and perfectly cooked with a delicious sauce. A very pleasant evening.

Excellent lunch, £29 for 3 courses plus coffee (or in our case Earl Grey tea). We both had gravadlax to start, I then had ORGANIC chicken (I don't eat non-organic chicken because of the antibiotics used) and my husband had beef blade - both delicious. We ended with brown sugar cheesecake plus Apple sorbet (must try to make) and syrup sponge. Terrific value.

We stayed here for 1 night and it was perfect, room lovely, pool nice and food was amazing in the restaurant staff very good also.

First class food with attentive, professional service. Although we were not residents we were given a very good table. For us the portions were possibly larger than we would normally have, but at the end of the meal we both felt satisfied rather than overfed, because there was no sense of being rushed. All in all the evening was a thoroughly pleasant experience and we shall most certainly return should we be staying in Keswick again.

We only booked a table in the Restaurant at the last minute and were so fortunate to obtain a , food standards were excellent, views from the Conservatory restaurant are fabulous, will certainly return

We looked for a restaurant to hold a double 80th birthday celebration meeting with the extended family and Lyzzick Hall was recommended to us. From start to finish they were a pleasure to deal with. The ability for a large party to choose individually from the main menu rather than pre-chosen prior to the event. A lounge provided for pre/post meal drinks. The food was excellent, the service unhurried and discrete, the staff friendly but professional and the ambience superb. Yes, it is not the cheapest restaurant available, but we got what we paid for - and more. The comment from all our party - “ A perfect evening”

We were looking for somewhere a bit special for a meal during our self catering stay at Braithwaite, more or less on the opposite side of the valley to Lyzzick Hall. We were warmly welcomed and invited to sit in the comfortable lounge which had great views whilst we enjoyed our pre dinner drinks. The food was delicious and perfectly cooked. If we had one small criticism it was that the interval between the courses could have been a little more leisurely but this did not detract from our enjoyment of the meal, which was great value.

Lovely place, traditional but modern. Good menu and prices not too bad. Casual dining , seems family friendly. Staff good. Good portins Nice views and gardens. As we live locally, we will come back again soon.

My boyfriend took me to this restaurant because he thought it would be a nice treat while we were away in Lake District. However when we were seated we felt rushed and not very welcome. There were only a handful of waitresses who we thought put in that extra effort to make us comfortable, everyone else didn't seem too bothered. We had the mushroom roquefort for starter, which was lovely. Mains we had lamb and Cumbrian beef, these were nice. Dessert we had salted caramel and milk chocolate tart. I felt like we were being over charged for the service we were given, I would expect better. However the atmosphere was nice.

Everything was excellent -- food, service, ambience. They even had wine from a California winery that I was familiar with!

Fuimos aquí para el cumpleaños de mi esposa. Encantador de llegar allí, subiendo el camino con flores de primavera por todas partes. Recepción un tanto fría, y luego un área de bar pequeña, algo abarrotada, así que la moral bajó un poco, pero luego un hombre amable y servicial nos sirvió bebidas, consiguió menús, conversó y las cosas mejoraron. Primer curso excelente; Mi plato principal - Confit cordero - también muy bueno: el pastel de pollo de mi ancho era en efecto algunas muy sabrosas piezas de pollo con una rebanada de pastel en la parte superior. Panna cotta decepcionante. Excelentes vinos.

I ate here twice for dinner (as a hotel guest). Both times were exceptional - the food was amazing and the service faultless.

Hemos cenado en Lyzzick muchas veces y hasta la última vez que nunca nos hemos decepcionado, cenamos con amigos (a la hora del almuerzo) y, para ser justos, fue suficiente, ni más ni menos. Estoy triste porque sé que Lyzzick es mucho mejor que "adecuado" normalmente. Pero solo puedo hablar cuando lo encuentre y me costará persuadirlo para que regrese si soy totalmente honesto y no me impresiona.

We took two friends here for lunch and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff who were all attentive but not intrusive. Amelia (sp?) in particular was a very good waitress

Absolutely fantastic food, wine, service, atmosphere. Can’t fault a thing. A perfect night for one of our rare treats

We were gifted a 'lunch for two' voucher as a wedding gift. Lunch was priced at £29 per person for three courses, coffee and fudge. The hotel is absolutely beautiful, and the staff are extremely welcoming. The menu was varied and we both struggled to decide what to opt for. I chose the chicken liver parfait, lamb, then sticky toffee & treacle pudding with treacle ice-cream. All of which were absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. The waitress commented on how quickly we devoured the desert which made us all laugh. We will definitely be back, perhaps for a Sunday lunch next time.

A local resident, I’ve had many excellent dinners at this restaurant over the years, and it saddens me greatly that my latest experience was very painful – literally. Although my hake, which was supposed to be boneless, was tasty, a piece of stray bone lodged itself – very painfully – into the roof of my mouth, which still hurts every time I swallow – four days on. Regrettably, not being confrontational I didn’t complain on the day, but, in retrospect, I should have. As for the rest of my meal, the goat’s cheese salad was disappointing, as was my sickly-sweet panna cotta. Similarly, my two dining companions were not overwhelmed by their mains, which, unusually for them, they couldn't finish. Regrettably, neither they nor I see ourselves returning any time soon – if ever.

From the moment we arrived at the restaurant, we were treated just how you should be in a top quality restaurant. The staff were incredibly attentative, the food was excellent and the coffee even came with some sumptuous fudge to cap off the meal. At times when it all seems about cheap prices and big portions, this resturant showed that quality in both service and food will always win over. And finally, if I may say, the prices were NOT ridiculously high at all. All in all, an excellent Saturday night.

We came here as a group of 4 adults and 4 children. It was beautifully decorated for Christmas and was greeted by wonderful staff. We were showed to one of the lounges for pre drinks, which was lovely.

Have never been disappointed when dining here. Good choice on the menu and friendly but professional service.

While staying in Windermere for a few days we heard great reviews about Lyzzick Hall so decided to book a table for the tasting menu. Lyzzick Hall is a lovely grand building inside and out. As you walk through the main door you are greeted at reception and taken to the drawing room for a pre dinner drink. When your table is ready you are then seated and your dishes start to arrived. The staff were all lovely, especially the man who seated us from the beginning made an effort through out our visit. The food was beautiful, well presented and fantastic flavors, hats of to the chefs!! When we had finished our meal we were taken to another room for tea/coffee and homemade fudge... delicious. Lyzzick Hall also has a dog friendly room so we will be back with our pooch to stay over next time!

What a wonderful place to have an anniversary meal. Food wonderful, lunch menu is £28 for three course meal and coffee. Very special food, very good service. A must for special food, would highly recommend.

Haven't been for a couple of years, I was treated for my birthday to meal. The whole experience was exceptional from our greeting on arrival to our departure. The food and choice on the menu really talks for its self.

This was out first visit to Lyzzick Hall but it won't be our last. Simply stunning in every possible way. The staff were wonderfully helpful, friendly and welcoming. Every morsel of food we ate was beautiful, such great quality and cooked by chefs who really know their craft. Special thanks to the cocktail specialist who talked us through the drinks he could adapt to be non alcoholic. He created a cherry and almond cocktail that was to die for.

Came here as a treat for Saturday lunch. Was unsure of the hype, wondering if it could be as good as most had said. And could a £28 lunch ever be good value?

A really lovely meal and evening with great service and fantastic food. We’d definitely recommend it. Well worth that little bit extra. The tasting menu was very good.

Had 2 dinners here and every course was delicious. Quite a variety of food, so everyone has a choice. Nice wine list and great service.

Mi esposo y yo vinimos para el almuerzo del domingo aquí después de una recomendación de un amigo. Precioso entorno, la comida está bien, pero todo es tan apresurado! ¡Tan pronto como los principiantes limpiaron los platos principales, salimos y mi esposo todavía estaba mordiendo su último bocado de plato principal cuando se llevaron los platos, los menús del desierto se metieron en nuestras caras y querían saber nuestras opciones de desierto! Simplemente no hay necesidad de que estropee la razón por la que la gente sale a tomar un agradable almuerzo relajante. El desierto era migaja de manzana y las manzanas aún estaban crudas.

Comimos aquí en nuestro último viaje a los lagos, a cinco minutos en taxi desde Keswick. Habíamos pedido el menú de degustación, y proporcionaron un menú completamente vegano para mi esposa, y uno de carne roja para mí.

El menú en el sitio web y las reseñas, más el hecho de que mi tío, a pesar de estar en sus noventa años nunca había comido aquí, nos llevó a almorzar.

Lyzzick Hall is a lovely place - we have been dining here over many years, and have always found it extremely elegant, yet also very comfortable. The food is wonderful, and the staff are always friendly! Definitely recommend!

Myself and my husband were recently staying in the Lake District and on our last night went to this restaurant. I am only sorry we didn't go earlier in the week we were in the area because it would have given us the chance to go more than once. Everything about this restaurant was lovely from the moment we walked in. White linen tablecloths, candles, fresh flowers and lovely dark blue glasses for our water. Just little touches that are very effective on first impressions. We had the four course menu which I think at £42 a head is reasonable and the standard of the food was excellent. The high point for me was the venison for main. The meat was beautiful and cooked exactly to my liking. The staff were friendly and very helpful and the overall service was spot on. We didn't feel rushed but we also were not left unattended to wonder if we had been forgotten. I cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough and am just sad that it isn't near where I live in Hertfordshire as I would be a very regular visitor if it was.

Visited for husbands birthday. Service was exceptional and head waiter ensured we had a lovely evening! Very friendly and relaxed dining and the food was delicious! Would highly recommend.

Just adding to the other rave reviews. Great food, lovely staff. The only downside - if there is one - is the car park can be a bit manic when it's busy and it can be a struggle to park, especially if someone has parked badly. Otherwise, definitely worth a visit.

Easily the best in Keswick ! Ok probably pricier than the others but food quality,presentation and service are exceptional .The Lyzzick makes special occasions special

Birthday lunch, perfect in every way: superlative location; sumptuous food; exceeding pleasant service, especially from our charming Hungarian waitress. Can unreservedly recommend.

The service was as ever exceptional, the staff were friendly and made us feel at home immediately. We had four courses and all were brilliant. The food arrived just when we wanted the next course. We have never been disappointed by the food or the service, if you are in the area this resturant is highly recommended by us. Beautiful views and a relaxed atmosphere.

I booked a table for a celebratory lunch with my wife on our wedding anniversary.

Perfect in every way. Stunning view, beautiful gardens. Before and after in the sunny lounge. Attentive friendly staff. Home-baked bread. Fantastic food - vegetarian choices. A leisurely lunch for 8 on a Monday. We all really enjoyed the experience.

Very disappointing, very ordinary food at over-inflated prices. The food could be obtained far more cheaply in any supermarket ready meal department. Wouldn't recommend it at all.

We ended our honeymoon here and I can't say anything better than it was the most perfect evening for us. Food, service, ambience, location... we couldn't have asked for a better way to end our wedding week. Thank you. We will definitely be back

Excellent restaurant with very attentive and professional staff. Home made bread and top quality beef.

I now live in Spain and have not eaten here for 10 yrs ,but use to go and stay every year before the move . A trip down memory lane and not disappointed all was excellent as I remember food can not be beaten . A family lunch 7April was wonderful .

Excellent restaurant service, so much choice from a well constructed menu. Even breakfast has so much choice and the ability to ‘mix and match’

A very enjoyable lunch for two earlier this week. Every one of the three courses we enjoyed very much. So much so that we each are determined that we need to stay next time to fully enjoy the experience.

We visited on Sunday to celebrate my parents Golden Wedding, 13 of us in total. From the moment we arrived, until we left 4 hours later, the whole experience of Lyzzick Hall was outstanding. The staff are friendly, welcoming and very attentive, making sure that everyone has everything they need. I have a nut allergy which can cause problems in some restaurants, but not here, which immediately put me at ease. They knew what I couldn't eat, and when I couldn't eat the normal bread rolls, they brought out an alternative bread for me to have with my starter :-) The food was amazing, all cooked to perfection and served with perfection. I had the ham hock terrine to start, roast beef for main, followed by queen of puddings, all of which were delicious. After the meal we were shown to one of the lounges for coffee, where we were able to sit for as long as we wanted in gorgeous surroundings watching the view of the fells. Thank you so much to everyone at Lyzzick Hall for all their hard work and a perfect afternoon.

The restaurant at Lyzzick Hall only gets better--much like the hotel itself. I try to visit every year, and only see improvements when I thought no more could be made! The dining room itself is bright, well appointed, roomy and clean, with incredibly beautiful views...

This restaurant has a reputation for Sunday lunch and as such was very busy. Initally the service was poor as there was so much going on that staff were a little negligent. However, once we were seated in the restaurant things improved. The lunch was very good with pink roast beef. A good bottle of Spanish wine helped the meal along. The setting is delightful and the views excellent.

The friendly welcoming staff really make you feel special and are ready to advise you on whats drinks are available at the bar and the menus then the real treat arrives the food always a great mixture and cooked to perfection well worth the expense

Went to Lyzzick Hall for lunch with my in-laws. The staff are very friendly and professional and the food is always excellent.

What a refreshing menu and especially wine list. So much Spanish and Portuguese influences. Three of us went for a special evening meal and weren't disappointed. The service was first class but also friendly. The food was superb. A thoroughly satisfying and enjoyable evening. Looking forward to returning.

Had a truly wonderful special occasion meal here with my wife Jenny and my parents. Delightful setting, super-attentive staff, and food to die for. We went for the full four-course delights and none of the choices disappointed. Everything beautifully and fairly elaborately presented, attractive vegetarian options, sensible portion sizes, and then a range of comfortable places to sit after the meal for post-dinner drinks. A very special evening and a real treat.

This is now our go-to destination for special family meals. The menu is very appealing and beautifully cooked. The staff are unfailingly helpful, especially appreciated since my husband has had a stroke and only one working arm and leg! On our third visit, my husband’s meat was thoughtfully cut up and delicately reassembled before arriving at the table.....a lovely touch which was so much appreciated.

Our party of photographers and their families chose this restaurant on an ad-hoc basis with no expectation of a successful night out, but we were delighted with the outcome. The staff created us with a warm welcome, they were ready for our party and we were ushered to a comfortable seating area while they made final preparations for our table. Moments later we were seated and had ordered what turned out to be one of the best dining experiences of our trip. The food was excellent, the wine superb, the service friendly attentive and efficient and the atmosphere was warm and friendly. Highly Recommended!

Took my mother for dinner to Lyzzick Hall. We were both extremely impressed with everything from the food and service down to the beautiful decor of the hotel and restaurant areas. We will definitely be back, hopefully soon!

We went with some friends for Sunday lunch. The location is superb with views over the Bassenthwaite valley, it is a Victorian country house now a hotel and restaurant and it is maintained to a high standard. Seated in the lounge to review the menu and have drinks and made to feel very welcome. Sunday lunch is fixed price for three courses followed by coffee. We all chose the warm smoked salmon starter which was superb with a great blend of flavours. For mains two roast sirloin, one lamb and one pheasant. All were very good but the pheasant was outstanding. The portion size was also very reasonable until the desert selection which was somewhat large though very good. Service throughout was attentive without intruding, just what is wanted. Afterwards it was coffee in the lounge and we spent a long time chatting. At no time were we made to feel rushed. Overall an excellent lunch and for the quality the price was very reasonable, £120 for four including some drinks. Was really fine dining at a mid range price. Don't know what dinners would be like but we will be back to try.

The staff is wonderful. The food is superb. The setting is fabulous. We had a fantastic lunch with great wine and great service. Who could ask for anything more. Definitely worth the drive from Keswick city center.

Had an evening taster menu here. Very nicely served with a delay between each of the 7 courses allowing appreciation of the food. Pity though that some had been under the heat lamp - the skin on the fish was hard and dry. The cheese would have been better to eat had it been on a plate and not in a bowl. Excellent service and beautiful surroundings. Beware though of the cost of drinks - 3 normal drinks cost over £19!

This restaurant/hotel is located about 10 minutes northwest of Keswick along a main road. It was recommended by the owner of our B&B for having good food. Since we were not hotel guests, we were seated at a table next to the main walkway used by the waiters, so there was a lot of hustle and bustle during our meal.Service is very formal and the menu is a set of three or four courses, although you can also choose to have fewer, as we did. There are some half bottles of wine available as well as individual glasses. We both had the blackened Angus beef which was certainly flavorful but a tiny bit tough. Outstanding however was the mascarpone rice pudding; rich and carmely in taste.This restaurant seems to be suited towards well-heeled guests who prefer more traditional service.

For many years our go to place for special occasions and the all round dining experience - Food -Service - Ambience - Location, all of our party of 5 felt that after last nights visit, they had moved up to another level. Everything was simply superb, and it's place as probably the only place in the Lakes we would recommend to others for a special occasion, is secured

fantastic visit from start to finish. food was perfect - i had the ham hock starter, the apple and celeriac second course, the trio of pork for main and the caramel and cocoa nib tart for pudding. service was good too. it is expensive but it's worth it for a special occasion

Enjoyed lunch here twice during holiday in the Lakes. Outstanding food and service from the waiting staff. My friend and I savoured every mouthful. Well worth a visit and great value for the content and standard of presentation. Wonderful views enhance the experience.

We were looking for somewhere a bit special for our wedding anniversary dinner and settled on the restaurant at Lyzzick Hall. We were not disappointed. All the staff were friendly, helpful, approachable, but not overbearing. The food was wonderful. There was absolutely nothing that we felt wasn't perfect. The view was spectacular, the atmosphere was just what we wanted, quiet but not too quiet, and very relaxed. We left the meal feeling incredibly satisfied, but more importantly, we felt like we had truly celebrated our wedding anniversary, and that's thanks to our wonderful experience at this restaurant.

With excellent Lake District views, the ambience of the hotel was traditional yet modern.The service was attentive but not over the top, whilst the food was sublime.We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and would definitely recommend it.

Lyzzick Hall is situated in spacious and immaculate grounds in an elevated position commanding spectacular panoramic views of the wonderful fells and woodlands.The whole place is an haven of peace and tranquility and is a delight to behold.There are three well appointed lounges with superb views. The bedrooms are beautiful with hot water in abundance and lovely good quality towels.The dining room is very welcoming with beautiful crisp snow white table linen,sparkling glasses and efficient and very pleasant waiting staff.The menu was varied and there was something to please every taste. The whole dining experience was wonderful.Over the years I have stayed at many of the good quality Lakekand hotels.Stay at the rest,now try the best here at Lyzzick Hall which is a 1st class hotel.Well done management & staff at this beautful place.
