Romneys in South Lakeland

Lovely food, nicely served. Great atmosphere, busy and bustling but no delays on foods. Fish pie was a dream, beautifully served with a bowl of mixed fresh vegetables

1 of the best places I've eaten at staff are amazing manger is very friendly and helpful and food was delicious I will definitely eat there again if up that way brilliant please try it you won't ne disappointed we had the Sunday carvery but lots of other selection on menu thankyou to all the staff

First time visit as we were on holiday in the area Staff were friendly and efficient. We all thought the food was average. We all had the Hunters Chicken. The chicken was quite tasty with stuffed apple and ginger. The problem we all had was with the vegetables. Although there were generous portions of green beans and broccoli they were not very warm. They were not cooked enough for us. whilst we don't like them cooked to death, these appeared to be just like being blanched. It did not help that the plates were not hot/warm. This caused the veg to go cold quickly. We did not return during the rest of our visit to the area.

Had a Sunday carvery roast beef. Delicious. Very good value for money. However, unlike other carverys, they dont just put the meat on the plate and let you help yourself to the veg. They plate it all for you. To minimise waste of course. But they may just as well add Sunday roasts to the menu and bring it out like the other food. The show of the Carvery seems pointless. Went back mid week when it was quiet. A lot of staff on. But slow service. My husband ordered steak pie, which was tiny and very dry. He did complain. I had lamb shank, which was nice but the veg wasnt cooked enough. Couldnt cut through the broccoli and some carrots. Have mixed feelings about this place now. Sunday lunch is nice...

Love the place. Not local to us but we stop here when having a pit stop in Kendal. Kids insist on it due to small covered play area. Food and drink great and so nice inside.

Absolutely stunning!..will definitely be returning👍

Very nice food lovely people will visit again. They have a outside seating and a play area too.

Found this wonderful restaurant on Google looking for a lunch with parking on our way to Bletchley Park Museum. What a find. Lovely friendly staff and luckily we managed to get a table but I would book in the future as it was very busy. My husband had mussels and chips and I had pan seared cod with crushed potatoes and veg. Outstanding. Definitely will stop by again on our travels.

Very cozy place and attentive staff…. Highly recommended

Arrived around 6pm on Sunday and had to wait around 20 minutes for a table. This place is obviously very popular. Both had the carvery roast which seemed good quality and value.

Great atmosphere, it was a very busy afternoon, but the bar staff worked above and beyond. We had a very tasty and fair priced meal. (I love burgers, the burger and chips were great, big messy burger, but hey, that's what napkins are for) We will return.

As locals we eat here every few months, we've just been for lunch today and the food as always was excellent and very generous portions. I actually went for the tapas style fish goujons with fries as I don't have a big appetite but I still couldn't manage to finish it. The staff are a real credit to the place always friendly and helpful which keeps us coming back for more.

Loved our time here, the choice of food was great, the building is rustic yet welcoming and the staff were very attentive. I would highly recommend!

A good restaurant with good food.

Excellent...food staff and amenities all brilliant. Best sunday dinner ever! Great chef and bar staff. Thankyou for a lovely Sunday evening meal.

Absolutely love this place! Lovely, welcoming atmosphere and attentive, friendly staff. The food is amazing and very reasonably priced. Wide selection of drinks to choose from, including great beer, wine and cocktails! I have to recommend the pink gin fizz! 😍 Large, secure, covered play area at the side, leading to a large garden with seating. Lots of parking. Very dog friendly, we have been taking our puppy and the staff have been so kind and helpful. The perfect place to unwind and relax. You can tell that the owners and their team all care about the venue and customers as everywhere is very well kept and clean and everyone is happy and smiling! Thank you for many lovely evenings Romneys and many more to come! 🙌💓

Called last minute to book Sunday lunch on our way home from the lakes, the lady was very helpful and accommodating and booked us a table for a few hours later and our dog was welcome too. The staff were friendly and the food was very nice. We will definitely visit again next time we go to the lakes.

Yeah good roast here!!! Loved it

Lovely restaurant and staff, nice atmosphere

Good food, delivered quickly, in a nice pub!

Mange tout was a little raw for my liking and we seemed to short on chips compared to other times we've eaten there. Otherwise love it. Gravey in the pie is to die for.

Sometimes call in here after hiking the Lake District fells… always a good scran with great friendly service. Beer is a decent pint too.

Roast dinner was nice, but 3 people in our party couldn't cut the beef, told the waitress, she said I will let them know, never came back to us , or even offered a discount or anything, the meat is the main part of the roast, very disappointed.

Mushroom risotto was seriously out of this world 🥹 just super great!

Visited Rodney's while visiting my mum with my son . I asked them question if my mum and my son were having food of the menu and I was having sunday roast is it possible to eat at the same time , the young gentleman server said " yes that's not a problem, what we do is the kitchen let's us know a couple of mins prior notice so I could go up to the roast counter and get mine . But hey ho out came my mum and sons food , so there for I had to queue for nearly 10 mins at the roast counter , by the time I got sat down half my mums and sons food was gone so there for I was still eating when they finished . Food time was ruined might as well sat on dif table as we never ate together. The excuse I got was kitchen forgot . Never be back , it's not the same as it used to be which is a shame as I have taken big tables there for family and friend meals . But no more. Don't know if it's changed hands at all but something is just not right . Food 8/10 Service 2/10 Sorry .

Great food and service, also dog friendly which is good.

Brilliant 👌 😎 was absolutely amazing. Beautiful food , amazing customer service. It was lovely,the staff were impeccable from the start to finish. Excellent place to eat in and have a drink. Outside play area for kids. 😎👍❤️

Friendly staff. Had to wait a bit but it was very busy and we were not in a hurry, so this wasn't a problem

Excellent food,lovely staff.kebab to die for.lovely place to eat. Staff couldn't be more helpful.would definitely come back

We went here after getting married the 5 of us had a great meal, we all managed 3 courses and left feeling absolutely stuffed. the staff were lovely and everything was perfect 🥰

Good portions of tasty food. No one left hungry.

Pub was good, good variety of drinks. The menu had a great amount to offer, and everyone in my group was extremely satisfied with their meals. Good prices also. I had the Chilli con carne, and I highly recommend it. amazing portion size and very filling. I also had the warm apple crumble with vanilla ice cream for dessert, and you get a lot for what you pay. amazing flavour, highly recommended. Stayed here for the night with family in the accommodation next to the building (stables), The house included 3 bedrooms(1 room with 2 double beds(downstairs), 1 smaller room with a double bed, and one room with a larger bed(both upstairs)). The bathroom was great, good utilities.

Lovely Gastro Pub on the outskirts of Kendal. We found this place by chance when looking for a bite to eat on the way to Ambleside, and what a great find it is 👍 It has a really warm and welcoming atmosphere 🙂 with lots of comfortable and spacious tables. Staff are friendly and provide attentive Service. It has a very large and varied Menu and the food is fantastic 👍😎. I would recommend the Mushroom Risotto with Chicken added - it was one of the nicest I've eaten for a while 💙 The Onion Rings were also great 👍 Price is very reasonable for the quality of food 👍

Well what a massive disappointment. We ate here a few days earlier and really enjoyed the food and service so we decided to have our last dinner here. Well it was like night and day. My wife booked a table and when we arrived she waited around 5 minutes at the bar as the staff were more interested in talking to each other. Then we got our table and sat there for 10 minutes and no one came to take our drink order or food order so after a few more minutes decided enough is enough and decided to take our business elsewhere. As we walked out of the door a staff member came over to us and asked if we wanted to order lol. Just sums up the staff are more interested in talking about last night than doing the job there paid to do. We will not be returning

Grande salle agréable , service assuré par des jeunes, efficaces, souriants et disponibles. Choix variés pour les plats et menus, et les plats servis étaient de qualité, pour des prix raisonnables.

Thought we'd try it here as we are passing through, very nice steak and ale pie, and delicious desserts. The staff were friendly and the price was reasonable.

Had a lovely meal here, staff were friendly and polite, beer was good too. Big place and very busy.

Nice pub. With very tasty dishes.

Food apart from the fish was very disappointing. Sirloin steak very fatty and tough and the chips tasted like they had been fried several times. You could have broke a tooth on them. Quite expensive for what it was . Spoilt a birthday meal out

By far, but one of the best places I've ever been. Relaxed or classy, classy or relaxed. What a most amazing place. Lunch on Saturday on the terrace, delightful. Sunshine Sunday, roast lunch. Amazing service, VFM, lovely people all the time. Cheryl is definitely delightful. Best pub/restaurant ever! ❤️ John and Wendy

Very busy Friday evening visit on the way home from Scotland. Luckily we booked a table as it was so busy. All things considered we didn't have to wait too long to be served drinks. Food order was taken at the same time. Again a pretty quick service to the table. Food was hot and tasty and as described in the menu. Puddings list was brought in after the table was cleared and again as delicious as the main course. Friendly staff and atmosphere on a busy evening. Best of all (for us anyway) the pub is dog friendly. Yay.

Was ok. food was ok. Staff ok and pleasant

Lovely lodge accommodation and a very good sirloin steak

Really nice food and the service was very prompt. Steak and Ale pie was excellent and would visit again

Lovely place for a meet up lunch with friends & family from different parts of Cumbria. Good food & our granddaughter loved the outdoor play area. We will be back :)

It was brilliant. The food was lovely and I have to give shoutout to a certain waitress I don’t know her name but I can remember she was blonde and she was friendly but all the waiters and waitresses were very kind and nice.Although it was a very cute building with cool details like the glass floor showing the wine storage room it was very warm and busy that is why we only put 4 stars for atmospheres. I also have to say that the crab and crayfish starter was extremely delicious. Thank you.

This was an amazing pub we stopped off at on the way to Scotland, whilst we only ordered sides the portions were main meal size and the chicken goujons were so crispy! Definitely somewhere to visit

The service is excellent and lovely vibe, but the food was just awful. The steak and ale pie was so tomatoey, not a nice flavour profile at all. The special beef was so tough my mum couldn’t chew it. Been coming here for years, very disappointed.

Looks like a very appealing place online, and the location and kerb appeal are indeed excellent. Brilliant outdoor seating. Quite disappointing then to have to go in for your orders at the bar. Both starters and main courses arrived at the same time. Lukewarm if not cold. Not a great experience.

Warm but they did offer to microwave it !

Called in for an evening meal, we hadn't booked a table but was shown to a table for two I had the dirty burger ( beef ) that came with chunky chips and it was delicious. Service was very good. Very reasonably priced, will definitely be going back when we're in Kendal.

Nice choice of menu, including 4 different Sunday roast dinners.

Great place. The food was excellent, the staff were very attentive and friendly. xx

Great pub with good atmosphere and great roast

Brilliant staff very quiet Sunday night ( no quiz )

Such a lovely setting with such amazing friendly staff. Food was delicious. We really enjoyed it here.

Fantastic place. The food is amazing!

The carvery was very disappointed roast beef unable to serve as it was very overcooked roast potatoes not nice sorry we won't be back.

Very nice meal for a moderate price. Lots of character, particularly like the glass view to the wine cellar in the floor.

We never think of going here but dropped in on a Sunday. We didn’t have the roast which seemed to slow down the service a bit but our meals were all good. Tyson Fury was in the pub with his family at the same time as us, so it was a bit hectic in terms of atmosphere.

Only visited kendal for the weekend. Great food and staff very friendly. Pub was packed

A good place, with great food at reasonable cost. It was Saturday evening and packed so quite noisy. The staff did a great job although it took forever to get a peppermint tea.

The food was very nice. Staff were pleasant but forgot one of our orders, but when it did arrive it was freshly cooked and tasty. The house temperanillo was very nice.

Went for a carvery absolutely lovely. Took our dog with us so dog friendly.

We stayed overnight in snug no. 6, a beautiful 2 storey living space with a private balcony/patio area. Having read some prior reviews it was noted that there was a noisy fan outside - this seemed to only run when the kitchen was in service and we did not find it bothered/disturbed us, nor was it a big issue in comparison with the space and comfort of the room. We had a meal and a few drinks in the bar, service was fantastic and our host was very friendly and accommodating. Food was very reasonably priced and was very tasty. Would definitely recommend for either a meal or an overnight stay.

We stayed overnight in one of the apartments and it was a great experience. The apparent was very unique and had some great features. It had everything you needed except a hair dryer. But I am sure there would have been one available if really needed. The pub was also lovely and not overpriced. Definitely would recommend to anyone.

What a beautiful setting! The staff were lovely- very friendly and the service was attentive. I had the fish pie, which was delicious and the vegetables which came with it were fresh and tasty. Highly recommended for an elevated pub lunch or dinner

lovely place for dinner! tried the cod with lobster bisque, and the fish + chips - both great. cocktails were also generous and yummy.

Brilliant as ever. Been there for a birthday meal tonight. Food fantastic. & wine. Steak night & wine. For a pound. Brilliant much enjoyed .17. 6 .22. Back for another meal with good friends.

Great food, service and atmosphere

Nice new years day meal, friendly staff and good service. More vegetarian/and vegan options would be great addition please

Nice busy pub, good quality pub food with some nice more unusual additions- I had the sea bass and it was lovely.

Service brilliant . Very friendly. Accommodating.

Went for Christmas Dinner 150 pounds for the two of us the food was wet and sloppy Yorkshire pudding was like leather roast potatoes size of a brick and so hard you could not cut it with your knife the whole meal was so bad we walked out before pudding and made our dissatisfaction known to staff no wounder they make you pay in advance will never go again

Awesome Christmas Dinner and amazing staff.

Great meal for me and my wife, fish pie and steak an ale pie were absolutely brilliant, couldn't fault anything. Would 100% recommend

Great food, wonderful service, super friendly staff

Staff lovely. Food mediocre at best! Very disappointed.

Lovely place fantastic service by a great team of people who are very welcoming and professional in their jobs. Nothing is too much trouble for them. The food is great.

Called in for a quick beer. Lovely place great atmosphere. Will call back tontry the food tomorrow

We are a party of 8 and travel to the Lakes every year in November. We have stopped at Romneys for lunch on the way up for the past 4 years and never been disappointed. The food is excellent and can't fault the service. We are made to feel very welcome by the lovely staff who go out of their way to accommodate any requests. They even offered to let the dog in the restaurant as they weren't too busy even though dogs are only allowed in the bar area. We will definitely be going back next November as we have already booked our accommodation.

Lovely food and good service, well worth a try

We have been visiting the area and ate at Romneys twice. We were happy with our meals on both occasions. The staff were very welcoming, friendly and attentive ( not overly so). Would definitely visit again if we return to the area.

Lovely place, came with family, been a few times now, never disappointed

We had a lovely evening here Saturday for my birthday. Separate allergy menu was lovely for one family member who needs gluten free food and she had a good selection to choose from. Staff serving were great, helpful and friendly throughout the evening. We shared some sides instead of all having starters and all chose different main courses that all arrived at the same time. Thoroughly great time had by us all.

Lovely friendly staff go over and above to help you enjoy your experience 😀

Absolutely amazing food and delicious cocktails too..

Food was brilliant, staff were lovely. Went in as part of coach day trip with Middletons.

Food isn’t good, nachos and chilli were bland. Caesar salad was awful, lettuce was wet and the sauce was strangely deconstructed, no cheese. The ONLY reason to go to Romneys was the carvery, now it comes to the table, rather than you visit and help yourself. Not a good move. Meat was good, veg etc bland. Service was good and professional, no complaints there.

Perfect atmosphere for good food shared with great friends!

Popped in on way back to Durham from Blackpool only 10 mins off M6. Food & service was fabulous 👌

Fab place , fab food and service . Ambient lighting also great .

Well what can I say? Utterly disappointed with the roast dinner, bring back the carvery days! Presentation was awful- had to ask for roast potatoes (which were rock hard)! Would have had a dessert but changed our minds. Definitely be driving pass next time!

Unbelievable quality and services 👏 had the fig and palma ham it was to die for

Had Sunday lunch but to be honest was disappointed food was bland could have done with more seasoning roast potatoes were rock hard but service was great staff very pleasant and love the quirky touches

Beautiful place ,best roast I've had in a long time,and biggest fresh yorkie.really will go again

We stayed in a hotel up the road from Romneys . We popped in for a drink one lunchtime as our hotel didn't have the wine we drink so we made a point of having a wine in the afternoon here. We really loved the hotel and the atmosphere was great we booked evening meals which were terrific. All the staff were fantastic and the atmosphere was great really enjoyed it. Next time we come to Kendal will definitely book a room here and definitely recommend it to friends.

Romney's had been recommended to us. And we weren't disappointed at all. In fact it was a lovely experience. Food was tasty, service was excellent and we enjoyed the whole atmosphere!! I had fish and chips and my husband had hunters chicken. We were so full we couldn't quite manage a dessert but our choice would have been apple crumble!! We had been staying in Kendal overnight in a local hotel. When we are in the area again we will definitely return here.

Lovely food and atmosphere... Highly recommended and Well worth a lunchtime visit...
