Beautifully cooked, quality food… and lots of it. Absolutely delicious. Recommend the Salmon with pesto sauce. Staff lovely too!

Stayed for a 2 night stay .lovely hotel very quiet..situated in town. Few local pubs nearby. Co op. Aldi etc . Hotel was great beds very comfy.. room was spotless great shower .coffee tea etc always topped up great pub next door... lovely staff.. would definitely stay again thank you

This hotel has got to be one of the best 'no frills' hotels I have stayed in. The rooms were very clean, the dinners were excellent as were the breakfasts, but the real joy was the welcome, attention and overall friendliness of all of the staff. They were so engaging and helpful making a party of 10 feel so welcome. 5 stars every time!

Called in for lunch on a visit to Carnforth. The staff were brilliant friendly & welcoming. Lovely clean & comfortable restaurant. Drinks offered whilst we chose our food. I had the cold smoked salmon salad. My son had the surf & turf. The salad was the best I have ever had, the surf & turf fillet & prawns were delicious.

4 night professional stay. Spotless room. Very good English breakfast, impeccable service. Very good food in the restaurant and warm PUB. I recommend

Sunday lunch in the Junction bar - up there with the best ever. The staff were absolutely lovely, really friendly and could not have made us more welcome. The room is spacious, comfortable and tastefully decorated. Dogs welcome, which is great for us. The Sunday lunch was amazing - we had the beef, and the stroganoff. Beautifully cooked, quality food… and lots of it. Absolutely delicious. And good value. All round a very enjoyable lunch - highly recommended. We’ll be back!

Great food- irn bru chicken was a fantastic starter. Sea bass also excellent in the lemongrass sauce. Brilliant service from Keira & Daniel

Fab restaurant. Had their steak specials and they were amazing! Service was amazing. Not cheap, but for a treat it's a great place.

Yet again another excellent meal at the station hotel. Don't take my word for it. Look at the other reviews on here. Normally get the Sunday three course meal deal. Definitely won't be disappointed.

Friendly staff, probably the best Cappuccino I have ever had.

Lovely welcome with a smile! Very quick service, good choice on the menu, food was excellent. Dog friendly, and comfortable seating.

Amazing food, gorgeous atmosphere, really friendly staff, we had a chicken salad, fish and chips, beef, prawns, onion rings

Friendly staff and a beautiful bedroom.

Stayed for just one night at the beginning of July with a group of five (I was not the person booking). The room and the hotel in general were very clean, the staff friendly and the whole experience vey enjoyable. The food, both breakfast and dinner was amazing - good quality, cooked to perfection and well presented. This opinion was shared by the whole group - we had three rooms. I would not hesitate to stay there again.

Sunday lunch excellent. Staff friendly and efficient. We hope to return. William our dog says thank you for the drinking water.

We had a lovely break. Staff were very friendly, the food was excellent and the room was comfortable. Will use it again when next in the area.

Lovely hotel and staff amazing and the boss couldn't do enough for us sorting his garage to store our motor bikes, food very good!

Lovely evening meal. Fantastic food in a relaxed atmosphere with friendly staff. We had the chorizo and prawn starter and the brisket Bon Bon’s and they were both delicious!

Glen is a legend as is his team. Stayed 2 nights for a family wedding. Food was good, rooms were nice. Glen went above and beyond to make sure we were welcome and looked after, even taking time out of his day to come and pick us up from the wedding because we were struggling to arrange transport. Thanks so much. We will be back

We stayed here because we were attending a wedding in Lancaster. We stayed 2 nights. The Friday night we arrived at 8pm and were happily accommodated in the restaurant even though they were really busy, they squeezed us in. The food was really good and the staff were very friendly. We checked in after dinner. The room was clean and comfortable with good amenities. There's a fridge in the room which was a bonus. Good tea and coffee options. Very good breakfast options. The absolute best thing about this hotel was the staff, they could not do enough to help you. Glen was fantastic in helping us to find transportation back from the wedding venue to the hotel. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it if you are visiting the area.

A very nice place to come with a loved one ,really enjoyed our stay here and the bar manager was brilliant very helpful made us feel very welcome, food was great ,we also had afternoon tea which was out of this world they really make you feel welcome here ,I'll definitely be coming back

Extremely friendly and helpful staff. Large rooms with comfy bed and well laid out and functioning en-suite with bath and over-head shower. Everything clean and plenty of hot water and towels. We were upgraded to a family room which was useful for a family gathering (we were attending a wedding) where eight of us could chat with drinks. The restaurant was reasonable with good food but we found it very noisy when it was full so, said family room came in very handy! Excellent breakfast with fresh fruit tubs and reasonable menu choice, we found the eggs royale particularly nice. Great service from friendly local team. The hotel is situated right in the centre of town with all the amenities and with great train and bus connections (you can get a bus ride from the doorstep right through the Lake District over to Keswick). We wouldn't hesitate to stay again if in the area.

Great food friendly staff rooms clean, the bar and restaurant has a good vibe about it

Stopped for late lunch (bank holiday sunday) in a large families group having been accommodated at short notice. The food was excellent, plentiful with the children well looked after. The ham roast dinner going down very well. The service was fantastic like nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommend 👌

Lovely place to eat and stay. Family oriented and none expensive

Best Sunday Lunch I’ve had for years, brilliant service as always.

Visited the restaurant, very nicely decorated, nice atmosphere, very friendly, attentive staff and food was top notch, steak pudding was cooked to perfection and was packing flavour, king prawns with chorizo was really good and the fish and chips was perfect. Great job 👏 would happily visitor again

What an amazing evening we’ve just had here. The food, service and atmosphere was excellent, and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The quality of the food was ridiculously high. I had the Brisket & Parmesan Crumb Bon-Bons for a starter, which I cannot recommend enough. For the main I chose the Honey Glazed Horseshoe Gammon Steak. I could not believe how this simple staple had been elevated to such a high standard. For dessert I had the Roasted Pineapple & Maple Syrup upside down sponge with custard. Delicious. My brother had the Milk Chocolate and Zesty Orange Cheesecake with Death by Chocolate Ice Cream, which I sampled. I’m definitely having that next time. We could not have been looked after more by the team, for which we can only say thank you.

Great surroundings food and drinks and friendly service good local hospitality

Great food ,fantastic selection,brill service,dog friendly

Absolutely fabulous afternoon tea for two with Prosecco, would highly recommend. Excellent value for money. We looked after by Bev who boxed up our cakes for us to take home

We eat here now at least once a month. The food is excellent and in my opinion probably the best place locally for food. The chef Josh is so professional and precise with each dish he sends out the kitchen. Never once have we had a slight complaint. My favourite on the menu is the chicken Kiev it’s just beautiful. Bev and all the staff are so professional and attentive, I can’t say enough good things about them. Highly recommended no doubt.

The food was amazing, would 100% recommend. James was a fantastic host and the overall experience was a 10/10. We would definitely return

We always pop in to The Junction Bar at the weekend for a few drinkies, the staff always very friendly and chatty. Bev makes the best coffee in Carnforth. The food we watch coming out of the well organised kitchen always looks fantastic. Well done everyone.

After a long Sunday out hiking, we really struck gold when we chose this friendly pub for dinner. Okay, so the roast beef was no longer available that late in the day, but the roast chicken was, and wow! Large Yorkshire pudding, roast and mashed potatoes, side dish of lovely fresh vegetables, and we had the side of cauliflower cheese (which proved to be totally un-necessary as the portions were so generous). It’s a fairly large space, but not too loud, and both light and comfortable. The loudest applause is reserved for the staff - welcoming, professional and efficient. 10 out of 10 everyone.

I’m stopping here on my way riding bike up to Scotland. What a find. Nothing is too much trouble and just had a fabulous evening meal. Bev and Alexi really looked after me with impeccable service. I’ll definitely be back.

Could not fault the food or the service. A serious 10/10. James was our server and all faith in him after recommendations. Every dish brilliant. We had prawn cocktail, prawn and chorizo, beef Bon Bon, fish n chips, beef Sunday dinner, chicken Kiev - all amazing !!! Thank you all x

Great service and food would definitely return, great selection of nibbles, good atmosphere. Can’t really ask for much more. thanks James………

All the staff are exceptional , the food is wonderful you won’t get better quality and value for money!! Bev especially shines taking your visit to another level beyond the real world whilst Lily and James keep it real .Wow it’s never dull .

Visited for breakfast, absolutely outstanding Full English! Service was fantastic from Bev, nothing was too much trouble. Would 100% recommend a visit!

Excellent food compliments to the chef and his team. Service from all the staff was outstanding all very friendly and attentive. Music in the junction bar was really good too. Great atmosphere would totally recommend.

Warm and welcoming from the moment we entered. Restaurant decor is beautiful with an ambient atmosphere. Menu was varied with something for all members of the family. We were looked after by Bev who couldn’t have been more attentive, really lovely! Food was superb and good value for money. We will be sure to return.

Good meal a great service. James was excellent and recommended the chicken Kiev. Live music on a Friday was good, coming from a musician.

Lovely birthday dinner with family. Served by Bev and Maggie. Food and service was amazing, credit to the kitchen. Birthday boy very happy.

Amazing food & service, You will not be disappointed, the Station has a fantastic varied menu, food is delicious, main courses are large, you’ll struggle to eat more than 2 courses! Service is 1st class, Bev & the team will ensure you are well looked after, it’s a place that you’ll come back to at least once a month!

Absolutely stunning food!! Been waiting for grub like that since the spread eagle at Mellor closed! Chef turned out some fantastic food!

Weekend stay was very good with pleasent and helpfull staff. Dinner B&B all excellent, plus a lively Friday night crowd in the bar.

Broke down on the m6 going to the lake district and the AA man took us to Carnforth. We were stuck and rang the hotel, who were so helpful! We had our French bulldog with us and they put us up in one of their dog friendly rooms and we had a lovely breakfast in the morning too!

Lovely meal of roast lamb and beef with all the trimmings. Starters and dessert also great. Friendly service led by James. Would highly recommend!!

Food was surprisingly delicious, not just your standard pub food. James was wonderful, really friendly too. We had a brilliant time.

Went in for a drink nice good place outside seating area very good

Thanks to all at the Station Hotel for making our stay a great one. After a busy day, we enjoyed your great food and service and can't thank you enough.

Yet another fantastic stay, at The Royal Station, we are currently looking after an elderly relative, in the local area, so have been staying here on a fairly regular basis over the last few months. Nothing is too much trouble for the owners, & their staff, they can usually accommodate us at short notice. The rooms are clean, tidy & comfortable, with all the normal amenities. We again ate in the attached bar/restaurant, & the food is amazing, again the staff are top drawer. Breakfast in the hotel dining room, is great, you can have as much or little as you like, with a great choice. Glen & Maggie have got this hotel at the top of the tree, & long may it continue.

A Wednesday evening meal, the only place we could find open serving food, and it was busy due to great food and customer service. I had the suet pudding it was delicious one of the best I have ever had, the wife had a steak and loved it cooked perfectly. We then had dessert ice creams lovely, great value for great food. The two young staff members were brilliant and never stopped full of knowledge and very polite. This is dog friendly which is great to see, they had a event ongoing were people were in and out of the pub great to see a busy pub

We have been here a few times now as we are locals and food and service is first class.This is the best place to eat for miles. There is a lovely warm welcoming atmosphere. I had the beef stroganoff and it was exceptional 😋 My husband had the steak pudding and hasn't stopped talking about it as it was so tasty. We would definitely recommend this place.

Went here for a Valentines dinner and was not disappointed. Food, atmosphere and service were all 5*. Will definitely be returning and staying overnight next time .

We were staying at Pine Lake and looked for somewhere local to eat. As the Royal Station Hotel was rated no 1, we decided to try. So glad we did. Fab service, wonderful food, will definitely go back when we return to Pine lake. I had the cod loin in panko breadcrumbs and I honestly would have licked the plate if I could

Had a nice weekday meal here with a friend. Lovely staff. Great service nice restauranty pub . Pie was amazing !!!!! Chicken stroganoff was tasty not so stroganoffy though but still nice . Icecreams are great .

Rarely review but had to as the food here was first class. I had the beef stroganoff that had a generous portion of steak fillet in the most delicious sauce. Unpretentious and comfortable . I Would recommend anyone to try the friendly atmosphere and first class menu whilst in the area.

Just, been back again after visiting family must be at least 6 months since my last visit. Food still great. All of us enjoy the steaks and sauces this time........... Just been in for a family meal today. Use to live in the area but not been for a bite to eat in Carnforth for years. Have to say it was lovely, from starters all the way to desserts. Great menu and variety all four of us loved it... highly recommended it. Friendly staff and good pricing, pleasant environment.

James our server absolute star, so helpful and friendly, genuine guy, enjoy Tunisia! Food was gorgeous, music was amazing, we will be back!

Fantastic Burns Night meal. Three fabulous courses served by James, who was an excellent host, attentive and polite. Highly recommend the food at this venue.

We visited the station for tea on our daughter’s 3rd birthday and was served by James, the food and service was perfect and they even brought a candle out in her ice cream. Highly recommended

. Lovely food, quick and friendly service. Would definitely recommend. Very attentive. And a really nice atmosphere.

What an excellent place to eat. The menu choice was wide and varied. And the staff were very attentive, especially James.

Cracking steak and kidney pudding, best I've ever had. The guy serving, James was a top bloke, very friendly and efficient.

Surprisingly exceptional Sunday lunch. 3 x Traditional Roasts, 1 x Beef Stroganoff & 1 x Kids meal followed by Sticky Toffee Puddings, Apple Crumbles, plenty of ice cream and jug full’s of hot custard! All top notch! I think the area we sat in was the ‘Platform Bar’ which is a lovely setting with a wood burner stove, open serving hatch from the kitchen, bar area, eating area and separate room with dart board and pool table. James & the rest of the team were very accommodating of our ‘nosey’ and ‘chatty’ nearly 2 year old, who wants to observe EVERYTHING; and the kitchen were happy to cook the beef roast to the liking of my pregnant wife, despite the menu declaring the meat being served as ‘pink’! Very pleasantly surprised and will return!

Great place to eat. The food is top notch and the service great. I have eaten here a number of times and never disappoints. The Sunday dinners are insane. James served us on this occasion and he was very polite.

Fabulous place with great staff especially James and Lily, also the chef not only cooked the food but also helped with service so everything came out together. We'll recommended.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Food was delicious (we had the sandwich menu) AND the service from James was exceptional! 10/10 I would definitely recommend

Fantastic staff, with some lovely food.Burger was a bit grey & looked like it needed a good suntan. However everything was 👍 great & enjoyable. The ribs are beautiful & the desert was amazing.

Had a lovely meal at Royal Station this evening, had gammon , cod , chicken burger, followed by a delicious bread & butter Pudding. James looked after us all evening and couldn’t have done more .

Amazing food! Amazing staff! Would definitely recommend to anyone staying in the area. Will be coming back on our next visit!

Great food and even better service! Lovely atmosphere, loved the menu - overall would highly recommend! Our son said it was the best meal of his life!

Just had a lovely meal in the restaurant. Great food, very friendly staff and fast service. Reasonable price. Very well worth a visit, we will definitely go back.

Friendly staff, nice restaurant, food excellent, good price. We will definitely be back. Any comments? Only the 3 course set Christmas meal is worth a lot more than they charge for the quality.
