Rusland Pool Restaurant & Bar in South Lakeland

Great location for the races at Cartmel but the lack of staff was evident in the overall running of the premises. Service was lovely and the breakfast meal was decent but everything was looking a little tired and in need of a good sprucing up. Ideal for an overnight stop if you are going to the races or visiting Ulverston or Windermere.

Just back from a meal here for Father’s Day there was 4 of us, after waiting over an hour for food to arrive three Sunday dinners and pasta dish, our dinner arrived cold , After complaining they did replace them but while we were waiting my daughter garlic bread arrived with a hair on it, put us off big time didn’t enjoy it at all. They did not charge us for the food, but still very disappointed spoiled our day. Feel sad for them no way to run a business. But did think the Yorkshire puddings were lovely

WARNING TO COELIACS… My parents visited for an evening meal. My dad has been a controlled coeliac for years. After double checking each course was GF he started to feel ill an hour after eating and was he was violently sick 2 hours later. As he knows the signs he knows this is from eating a lot of gluten. The restaurant do not want to take any responsibility for what has happened. We want to warn others that care is not being taken.

Visited here about 5 years ago and the food was great. Returned to find it was just as good as we remembered. The staff are very welcoming and friendly. We actually visited twice during our stay in the area as the food was so delicious! Nice vegetarian choices and a few vegan options too. Donna who was here the first time was just as welcoming, bubbly and efficient as 5 years ago. Matthew and Carol on one of the evenings were also very welcoming and friendly. This place has a nice, cozy feel to it and the staff are clearly keen to please their guests. We didn’t stay in the rooms so can’t comment on those, but highly recommended a visit for food.

Always a warm welcome, varied menu. Accommodating to adjustments. Delicious food and good service. We always make a trip when we’re up in the Lakes. Vegetable lasagne and sticky toffee pudding were very tasty!

It's not often that I have a big selection of options to choose from at a bar or restaurant, as I'm both gluten free and vegetarian, so I was very pleasantly surprised to find that I had multiple options here! It seemed like almost every dish on the menu was gluten free or could be adapted to be gluten free, with a large selection of vegetarian meals too! I had the mushroom linguine (which was penne instead to make it gluten free) and it was delicious! I had the sticky toffee pudding as dessert, which is something i really miss as its not often that its gluten free! Very happy wit our choice of restaurant and I'd definitely eat here again. Staff were very nice and friendly, and knowledgeable about the food and gluten free substitutions. I also had breakfast here as I was staying overnight. Again a good selection for gluten free people, but not quite as much selection as there was fir dinner if you're also vegetarian. Still, I had a very nice breakfast. Top marks from me.

Complained about tough & over cooked gammon, waiter was very indifferent. Did not want to complain as being entertained by friends. Will not be returning!

Not visited for more than 5 years and were slightly disappointed that it wasn't quite as good as we remembered. May have been better if we had eaten in the restaurant rather than the bar. Unfortunately, that was closed, I assume due to staff shortages. All that said, the food was good, reasonably priced and staff were helpful and friendly.

We visited last week and had a lovely meal in a quiet, relaxing atmosphere. I opted for the soup, salt and pepper chicken and Banoffee pavlova and I can't recommend the Rusland Pool enough. We will be back.

We came here 2yrs ago, and remembered we had a good dining experience here. This time we returned with our plus 1. The service was very good, the food was wonderful, and more than ample for the average appetite. Our mains exceeded all expectations. My Mother-in-Law chose the small portion scampi, which is a fabulous idea for someone who has a below average appetite. My husband chose the burger and I had the prawn salad. Unfortunately, we struggled to leave a clean plate, but rest assured it was only down to portion sizes! Thank you for a pleasant experience.

Overpriced rubbish. The restaurant was dead, maybe this was a good indication that it would be terrible. Restaurant staff were great but that’s the only positive I can give. A few prawns added uncle bens rice and they call this their salt and pepper king prawns and a dry tasteless burger. Definitely wouldn’t recommend and I certainly wouldn’t return.

Been before with our dog, now not dog friendly. We sat outside, fine if dry and not cold. Plus portion size for cost of King Prawn salt n Pepper was poor for the price. I’d prefer to source an alternative dog friendly place instead.

We stopped off here by chance and was welcomed by friendly staff and tasty food! Would recommend, the food was tasty, hot, very filling, hearty and homemade. The staff were attentive, friendly and always happy to help. Thank you!

We have been to The Rusland Pool on a few occasions, so knew that there was a good selection of vegan options.... however when we asked to see the vegan menu we were told that they had to reduce the menu and integrate it onto the main menu, this was due to staff shortage!! The options were mainly mushroom based, ( my partner doesn't like mushrooms!!) There was very limited choices, some of the main meals could be adapted to gluten free and dairy free but not vegan. The reason that the Rusland pool was chosen, was because they previously had a separate vegan menu that had several different options that didn't just contain mushrooms, and to quote from their website "They offer a menu that includes a large vegan and vegetarian selection " Needless to say we will not becoming again and won't be recommending it to anyone else

Called for lunch as early birthday treat. Well not so much a treat. Steak and Ale pie , chips and peas. Husbands pie crust was fairly burnt. Chips looked and tasted like they were yesterdays (or day before) and reheated. All dry -even with extra gravy. On a plus - waitress was very pleasant. I doubt it was a qualified “chef” who prepared and served up this meal. Will not return.

We booked in for 3 nights in June 2023, and experienced the following: The picture of the hotel does not show that it is yards from a very busy A road. Trying to sleep was almost impossible, due to the traffic in the evening and in the early morning. There was a lot of noise from the room above, no sound proofing I had the lasagne for dinner and it had been cremated My wife had the burger which was similarly overcooked. Having a disrupted sllep on the first night, we decided to leave the hotel, as we were on holiday, and the constant noise ruined our stay. When returning the key the receptionist, replied when I explained we were leaving ''yes the traffic is noisy''. This hotel ruined our holiday, and there is no way I would reccomend it to anyone.

Unfortunately when given our room on ground floor RM 17 it was evident straight away that the noise from the room upstairs would result in a sleepless night. The floor must have been thin chipboard as you could hear every footstep when the people walked about the room etc. I went to reception to request another room but was told, sorry fully booked. I was told that as the people were an elderly couple then unlikely we would suffer from noise. Unfortunately, these elderly people walked around a lot and made several trips to the bathroom during the night. Needless to say we suffered a sleepless night ! We were due to stay a second night but decided against as the only offer was to swap rooms with another guest which could have meant a similar problem. Staff very nice but .......

We have been a few times to the Rusland Pool. Pleasant staff and good food. The Sunday Roast Beef was exceptional and will certainly return.

Unfortunately i can't give higher than 2 stars. The staff were friendly enough but the restaurant area was dirty. The table was so sticky and dirty that the plates were sticking to it. Maybe they had no cleaner that day!!! In general it looks tired and uncared for which is a shame as it could be such a lovely place.

The coke was flat and people let their dogs toilet in the play area and we did not stay for the meal.

Lovely food, and even lovelier staff. Staff were really attentive and really friendly. Sunday dinner was lovely and the vegetarian options were really good!

The staff here were so friendly, the food was fantastic - hot, tasty and fresh. The Vegan menu was incredible and such a treat for my daughter who is used to very limited options. The restaurant was spotlessly clean. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Well done to everyone at The Rusland, we loved it

Went here for Sunday Lunch for my partner's birthday. There were 4 of us seated in the Conservatory, which was cold. The table was very sticky, which might have had something to do with the solution they use for cleaning, but it felt really dirty....

Certainly would not recommend this place at all, Last Year I was sat in front of a nice log fire indoors eating my Xmas dinner with family, Today sat in a cold conservatory with my jacket on because of minimal heating in there, Certainty will...

Great food and service the black pudding and haggis starter was excellent it was nice to see different choice

We always come here when we are staying at the caravan just down the road. I love the food here and the service is great. There is a play area for kids outside and it’s a great little spot to sit when the sun is...

You would not have guessed they were short staffed if the notices weren’t there. The service was great, there was no delay in cooking the food which was really tasty. The portions are really generous.

Great service, great food. Would highly recommend. Staff are very friendly, we both had sizzle chicken and fries. It was very nice. Would highly recommend to anyone

Restaurant is very dated, was like walking into a working man’s club as my husband said! The menu is way to big. Need’s condensing. I opted for vegan pie which turned out to be unavailable but took them a further 10mins to come back after...

Superb service from the staff today at the Rusland Pool. Recently discovered I am lactose intolerant. Told the lady who served us and she and the chef made sure everything on my plate was dairy free. Huge menu with lots of vegetarian and vegan options....

Food is not of the best quality tbh. Comparing to other places close by service is very good but meals let it down

We had a mixed experience, the staff were fabulous. Some of the food was excellent, other dishes pretty average. However this is not a gourmet restaurant and is pretty competitive for pub grub. Excellent veggie offer. We had a brilliant nacho starter. I had a...

Despite lovely staff and an electric car charging point I’m sorry to say that my experience of eating here was more than dreadful. Sweet and sour king prawns- a few prawns added to an Uncle Bens jar of sweet and sour sauce. Bloody disgusting -...

We have been to Rusland Pool numerous times with family over the years, it’s always great food, fantastic staff who are always friendly with great service! A must visit if in the area!

Fabulous food, massive menu to choose from to suit all tastes and wonderfully friendly and professional staff. Will definitely be returning.

I went with my husband for a meal on Thursday and was so poorly afterwards l definitely had food poisoning.Was told two of the staff had the same meal ,l very much doubt it !!!! Have never had food poisoning before and don’t want it...

Excellent food freshly cooked. The chicken fajitas were lovely and the burger was very good! Huge portions. Will definitely be back. Reasonable prices too

Highly recommended for a fresh, hot meal at a reasonable price from a varied menu. The grilled goat's cheese starter was delicious. Some main courses are offered in smaller portions which is such a good idea and saves waste. The staff, Harry and Sue, were...

Ate here twice for family meal. Excellent in every respect. Very helpful staff, good food at reasonable price, good veggie choice and more relaxed because of clear Covid messaging.

Called in after reviewing several local waiters. Staying locally and was a busy bank holiday. This place was welcoming from the moment we arrived. Greeted by a lovely lad who sat us down and brought us menus , being vegan we always research beforehand. They...

We visited whilst staying in the area and appreciate the efforts made to be Covid safe here. Food was good with a wide selection. Portion sizes are large! Helpful staff.

Whilst staying at Bouth we visited this establishment. We (4 of us) hadn’t booked and, although busy, they offered us a table. I can honestly say I have never seen such a large varied menu in a pub. We were spoilt for choice even though...

Fantastic selection of ‘free from’ food, and some lovely dishes. The service was excellent as well. Friendly staff, who were welcoming and helpful. We had lots of questions about the menu as my wife is vegan and gluten free, and they were only too happy...

Stayed and eaten here many times. They never fail to deliver the goods. Came here with six friends who loved the place. Fantastic team nothing is too much trouble. Bedrooms spotlessly clean. Food is delicious and beautifully presented. So much choice on the menu. Looking...

Enjoyed a relaxing meal here on a lovely summer evening. The restaurant was busy but Covid-19 measures ensured we all felt comfortable. The staff were friendly, helpful and the service was efficient. There is plenty to choose from and the prices are reasonable. There are...

Went for lunch and ordered the combo which was £16.99 that was not worth a penny all the food seemed to be frozen from Iceland and no dressing on the salad and the salad didn't look fresh. Overall I wouldn't recommend as I didn't enjoy...

I wanted to say a big thank you to John who was so welcoming to us when we came here and had dinner.Never to much trouble and always very attentive to us made our dinner time perfect and can't thank him enough! He is definitely...

We dined at the Rusland Pool every night for a week. We never intended to but the food was so good that we kept going back for more. There was a great selection and variety of starters, main courses and sweets. There were also lite...

Very convenient pub set back from the main road. We'll organised and trained staff. Excellent food. Recommend.

We had 3 separate tables next to each other, to accommodate the Covid restrictions. Food was perfect and staff are lovely. Was a perfect venue for our family to get together. My nephews loved the outdoor space to run off some energy.

Stayed at this hotel a few times. Very welcoming and very clean and comfortable. Went for lunch twice this week. What a great choice, food was excellent, and not overpriced. They cater for allergies and have a special menu for that.I have booked four rooms...

Good food, friendly service. COVID precautions in place and felt safe to dine in. Free electric car charging.Accomodation available when not in lockdown. Handy for Barrow, West Lakes, South Lakes between Coniston and Windermere.

Not sure where to start.Literally just walked in from Quite possibly the worst meal ever served in the lakes.Been up here a few days staying in nearby Ulverston and passed a few times and from the outside looks ok so gave it a whirl...Looks on the outside can be deceiving unfortunately, entered into a dated, soulless environment with zero atmosphere whatsoever with extremely tired decor including all furnishings.That aside we thought it could still well be ok and half decent pub type food but we were very, very wrong.Ordered 2 mains and 2 kids meals.Kids meals were burger that was pretty small and dried out in a long life type bun, and the other was just a cheese sandwich with crisps (asked if we could have chips instead for extra to be told no and we could order a side which we did. More on this later!Lasagne ok but nothing to shout about.Farmyard/farmhouse burger £17.99 I think? You’d assume there’d be some wonderful burger that was advertised as pulled pork, home made beef burger and chicken breast. Not the case. Long life soggy bread bun, half a handful of over done frozen fries, and the most chewy, tasteless burger with dried out chicken and microwaved pulled pork you’ve ever seen. Absolutely tragic if I’m honest and really shouldn’t be served and left in the farmyard. Left 60% of the plate as a bit of a hint but nobody batted an eyelid.Not the type to complain as it’s just not worth the hassle but Would of said something if asked, but despite there being 3 staff and approx 9 diners we weren’t once asked if everything was ok and prior to all this the food was dumped at the table end to be shared out accordingly which was a nice touch!On finishing what we could, still no courtesy and the only highlight came when we were asked to pass the plates down to our wonderfully committed waitress which by this stage we found particularly amusing and tried to make the best of the situation!Then came the bill we asked for abruptly... Highlights;Inedible burger £17.99Orange squash £1.50 eachPortion of chips we had to order as they couldn’t accommodate with the 2 slices of bread and a handful of grated cheese £3.50 (24p per chip for those interested!)If only I’d taken the photos but we were too busying amusing the kids and making the best of our last night away!If we really want to show the levels of professionalism in the place then no phone number taken or details via track and trace on arrival all thing Covid considered which isn’t great but not our job...Stay well clear, 35 minutes of our lives we won’t get back and £55.00!(Didn’t stay long funnily enough and got kids pudding from the petrol station instead!)Simply awful. Not one positive for this place I’m afraid. If I’m Ulverston the Farmhouse Pub just south a million times better in every way.

First time visitors passing through. Main dishes were a mix - poached salmon was lovely, chips were great. Burger was ok, had a few bits of gristle and was a little tough (but tasty), however it came with mediocre fries (tasted frozen, whereas the proper chips looked hand cut and were tastier). Seafood platter was sadly bland and mushy, tasted like it came from the freezer into a deep fryer. Desserts however were incredible, sticky toffee pudding was divine and the Nutella cheesecake was yum. Would go back for the dessert, but the mains were a bit hit and miss (and very expensive for what they were).

We visited twice while staying in the area, We had a lovely Sunday Roast so we decided to book to go back another evening. All covid secure. All staff we met were very friendly & we enjoyed both our meals.

Disfrutamos muchísimo de nuestra comida en Rusland Pool. Nuestra hija es vegetariana y las opciones normalmente son limitadas, por lo que me complace ver un menú vegano y vegetariano tan extenso. El restaurante estaba tranquilo un lunes cuando visitamos, pero el servicio fue muy bueno y la comida fue memorable. Definitivamente volveremos.

El hotel está situado en una calle principal muy transitada en un entorno encantador, con una gran zona de juegos para niños.El personal era servicial, amable y muy bien informado sobre lugares para visitar, nada es una molestia.Nuestra habitación era cómoda con todas las instalaciones habituales, con magníficas vistas.El menú, aunque no era extenso, ofrecía una comida excelente que era deliciosa y caliente, y cubría todas las bases, pero si tengo alguna pequeña crítica es que el bar tenía una variedad limitada, solo se ofrece una cerveza y no hay cervezas, pero eso es solo yo. Lo que se ofrecía era perfectamente aceptable.El hotel está a poca distancia de muchas atracciones turísticas y, para mí, la única pregunta es si me quedaría allí de nuevo. Sin duda.

All food including breakfast of first class. nicely presented and hot. Some dishes a bit out of the ordinary for pub food.

We had Sunday lunch recently which was lovely apart from the Yorkshire puddings which we weren't keen on. Overall, we enjoyed our reasonable priced meal and desserts and would recommend trying if your in the area.

Popped in on way to Ulverston, it was an extensive menu and both of our meals were very good. will return!

Could not fault the food or service - everyone was pleasant, and covid restrictions were adhered to at all times. We had the Traditional Sunday Lunch - which was well cooked', delicious and excellent value for money.

Social distancing done excellently with staff wearing masks tables well apart too so felt very comfortable eating indoors here. Good food up to usual standard. Service great with friendly staff . 👍well done Rusland Pool.

Also reviewed under Rusland Pool Hotel! Enjoyed a lovely Sunday lunch with all the family. Good portion sizes, perfect smaller portions for the children. Lovely tender beef. Felt safe & staff are cleaning all the time. Liked the look of the everyday menu, so have booked a table for tonight.

I arrived here yesterday as we had to book in advance with my grandparents both in their mid 80's and my wife and 3year old son, we booked a table for 5 but got taken to a table of 4, then we sat down and waited for 15/20 minutes before I had to get up and go and ask for menus which was annoying, the staff didn't really seem bothered at all, we ordered two starters for me and my wife which were extremely over priced, 3x chicken stips which were just the goujons on my sons meal with a bit of sweet chilli dip on a plate for £8 and my wife had a goats cheese stack which was just a pile of goats cheese on a plate for about £7 but they brought my sons meal out with our starters, very unorganised and annoying. The mains came out which were a steak and ale pie, 2x burgers and a seafood platter. Burgers were both bland, the steak and ale pie was probably the best of the bunch but very dry just needed to be smothered with gravy to get it down and the seafood platter was just a load of deep fried seafood with anemic chips, the staff never gave each individual their meal they just planked it down and we had to pass them around, by this point the member of staff had disappeared not asking if we wanted any sauces etc, so I had to get up again to go and ask for sauces, one of them I asked for was vinegar which came in a sauce pot. Was just a complete shambles and the whole experience was just so poor from start to finish, all members of staff looked fed up, nobody came over to ask if anyone wanted anymore drinks, the drinks we did have were poorly poured and flat, when your paying for a meal out which costs good money you want a great experience, great food great drinks, friendly staff etc so you feel like the money you have spent was worth it. Just needs some friendlier staff, a chef who takes pride in cooking and drop the prices more, train staff on how to pour a pint properly and it could be half decent, Definitely will not be returning here.

Great to be back to familiar faces and great place to eat and drink. Covid precautions make you feel safe whilst enjoying good food. Friendly helpful staff. Outdoor play for kids. Two adults and grandsons for a mid-week treat. Have to book next week’s meal.

Food was lovely and plentiful. It’s a bit like walking into a dated 80’s pub though not the nicest inside but it’s clean. No real ambience and wouldn’t have been happy to have paid full price but with the 50% off it was good value.

We were accommdated very safely as a large family bubble. We were really pleased with the quality of the food and good portions. Amazingly vast choice for our coeliac member of the group and decent choice for children. Really impressed with the speed our food arrived, especially considering the size of the order and variety. Staff were gorgeous- very polite, helpful and knowledgeable regarding dietary needs. Steak pie was super and burgers went down very well. The current covid linked 50% off incentive makes this place unmissable. Thanks for a great first meal post lock down and a first ever tea out for our toddler.

Took my parents for my Mothers birthday meal, we all plumped for the 6 oz rump steak. At £12 for the steak served with a few chips and mushrooms thought it should be reasonable. All three steaks were tough and gristly, My Mother was the only one of us with sense enough to complain and had another steak cooked for her which was slightly better quality but under cooked. After all three mentioned it after the end of the meal the staff member had a word with the cook who told her he would mention it to his meat supplier. In all £50 for four soft drinks some chips and a piece of warm rubber. Nice staff though to whom my Mother still gave a good tip

Food was good and staff were lovely well worth a visit. Stayed the night in the hotel and room was really nice and the bath big enough for 2

Met up with friends at at this hotel for morning coffee. It was warm and welcoming and the staff were friendly and obliging. As we were a group this was pre booked and a table was ready and waiting. Drinks of a reasonable standard and the cake I had was delicious.

The food was excellent and all the bar staff and owner were more than pleasant thank you I will definitely recommend this restaurant and I will be back

Llamé ayer con mi esposa para almorzar, el lugar estaba bastante ocupado, fue un saludo amable y tomó una mesa en el bar y ordenó comida 2 hamburguesas de pollo 14. 99 cada uno a la llegada de comida donde no se nos preguntó acerca de más bebidas, etc. y en cuanto a la comida en sí misma, fue horrible pollo rosado cocido al horno con un poco de lechuga y 2 rebanadas de papas fritas de aguacate congeladas y una guarnición triste sin condimento. He estado sirviendo toda mi vida y como jefe de cocina estaría avergonzado de enviar comida de esta calidad, me costó que el plato de comida fuera 1. 70 y cargado 14. 99 es una desgracia, consíguete un chef al que le guste cocinar y para cualquiera que esté pensando en ir, no lo hagas hasta que lo hagan

A lovely little friendly atmosphere, food was lovely, vegetable soup was a little spicy and more pureed, but apart from that,the prawn baugette was lovely

Después de haber estado aquí un par de veces, sugerí que un grupo de amigos viniera y revisara una buena cena asada, y no quedaron decepcionados. 7 de nosotros vinimos ayer, 6 adultos y 1 niño, los 6 obtuvieron asados, 3 de nosotros fuimos grandes, el tamaño de la porción normal es decente, pero el grande no debe subestimarse, la carne era excelente, el verduras era muy agradable, en general, una gran comida, otros tenían el pavo y dijeron que era suculento, cada persona que no había estado antes quiere volver, todos tuvimos el pudín de caramelo pegajoso que era excelenteRealmente no puedo criticar este lugar, y como antes, definitivamente regresaremos 10/10

Excellent food, amazing lasagne, and good children’s menu too. The staff were friendly and extremely honest as we accidentally paid the wrong bill and they came to find us to tell us they had over-charged us and repay the difference.

what can you say, the food is good, no issues, large portions and service is first class. I love the place

Visited with friends on a wet Sunday lunch time.We had a table booked and it was a wise thing to do as it was busy. The food was nice and hot and very good service. 3 of us had Beef Stroganoff which was good but the sauce a bit too thin. The 4th person ha a turkey roast dinner which was excellent. We even had dessert and they were very good. All the staff were lovely. My only complaint was the very noisy group we shared the conservatory with who were laughing and talking at the top of their voices and we could hardly hear what each other was saying across our table Very inconsiderate people.

Calling here for lunch as open all day. Staff were very friendly and the place was nice to be in. Sadly the food was no better than average.

What a fabulous place to stay and eat!

Had a fabulous Sunday lunch. Called in on spec, and after enquiring if a table was available as they were very busy, was immediately shown to a table. Food and drink orders taken within minutes and thoroughly enjoyed. It's not the first time we have been and won't be the last, but I felt it well worth a mention. Top class.

Came with grandkids for the Willy Wonka afternoon tea, friendly service, we had booked and had a large table for our group of five. Kids options were available but our two shared one afternoon tea. Not the cheapest but a good range offered of very tasty items including soup, photo of menu and first plate included. Only two finger sandwiches each but loads of cakes so plenty to eat overall, highlight was the golden gooses egg! A very pleasant experience, shame the rain precluded the play equipment outside being used.

Had a short break at Rusland Pool Hotel at Bouth inn SouthLakeland. An excellent stay at a lovely Hotel in this scenic area. Such friendly and cheerful staff typified by Carol in the restaurant. My first stay at this hotel but it will not be my last.

We had an evening meal and breakfast whilst we stayed here and we had no problems. The food was cooked fresh and they were excellent with my allergy to garlic offering alternative choices. The bar in the evening we had a hot chocolate which was really lovely to end the night. Excellent and friendly staff

Called in and was presently surprised when we was shown straight to a table by Anna who was very friendly and took our drink order straight away.a lady called gillie came and took our food order she was really friendly and very knowledgeable about the local sights etc.the food was really tasty and great value for money we will definitely be back when back in the area .

I visited here with my other half for an early Saturday night meal. We’ve been a few times before and the menu is really good! I am a vegetarian and it is unusual to be spoilt for choice.

The food served was rubbish sweet and sour sauce was like water no taste 1 piece of pineapple Chicken was boiled very bland. Salt and Pepper Chicken was not much better tasteless. Very disappointed will not be returning.

Popped in as we were staying locally and also I only read the first three reviews on here. Average at best. The picking sharing starter was a complete rip off. 12 quid for a couple of slices of bread, a small pot of hummus, small pot of coleslaw and a shoddy looking salad. Mains were better. Gammon was nice but the pineapple was just plonked on top straight from the tin! Lasagne was ok. Best thing about the whole meal was the chips which were 10/10. With 2 pints and bottle of cider came to around 50 quid so not exactly cheap either. Would we return? Probably not.

My friend and I come here regularly with our kids and I must say this place is our favourite! First, the staff are very friendly attentive and professional. Would like to give a shout out to Carol who has been fantastic and nothing was to much trouble for her. She is a credit to the business and she always make us feel wellcome. Another thing I love about this place is that they have an amazing menu with plenty of choices. I am a vegetarian and my friend is gluten diray free. So if you are looking for somewhere to eat, this is the place that has got everything when it comes to food choices and dietary requirements. Another thing, they have the best nuttella cheesecake! They also have a playground so if you have kids this will keep them busy.Highly recommend to everyone! Will definitely be returning soon!

Popped in for lunch, didn't pre book in advance, arrived at 12pm but it soon filled up which says a lot in my books.

Very child friendly and in a lovely atmosphere. Food was ok but nothing special for the amount it cost. Lots of choice on the menu though so something for everyone.

Extensive menu, which sometimes means they are trying to do too much, but not in this case. Food was delicious. Service very friendly and all needs catered for without us having to ask. Bit of a wait for food, but they were up front about this with a clear notice on the bar advising of the wait time. Kids enjoyed the chocolate fondue dessert. Highly recommended.

The atmosphere is really nice and the setting is great but what made this experience soo good was the food.

Slightly dated but comfortable rooms at competitive rates. Good food and friendly, welcoming service.

After reading the scores, we decided to try on our way home. Staff very friendly, food not so friendly. Slightly greasy, too much garlic, and chips with rice not necessary.

We walked in on a busy sunny Sunday afternoon. A table was found for us quickly. The staff were friendly and lovely. I ordered the steak and ale pie with chips, it was gorgeous, however I would have preferred more chips. My husband ordered ham, egg and chips, he also loved his food. A great atmosphere.

Celebrating my birthday with the family,first visit here,was recommended. Not long to wait for starter to arrive,excellent sharing combo,followed by various meals,all very good. Finished with a couple of desserts to share,sticky toffee pudding and banoffee pavlova,absolutely yummy. Definitely will be going back. We were served by a lovely girl called Imogen.

Prompt and attentive service with a very comprehensive menu carefully catering for all diets including vegan. Great service - good food.

We came here for a lovely evening birthday meal for my brother the food was beyond enjoyable and more the staff are brilliant they cant do enough for you and the service is outstanding i have been hear a handful of times on visits to the lakes and this place was one of my favorites i would highly recomend to anyone giving it a shot

It is in a good location and nearby parking is relatively easy. The atmosphere is good with a number of separate dining areas. The food is traditionally British, but it is well prepared and presented and the quality is good. I am not giving it five stars as I feel that for five, it has to be something out of the ordinary, but for a tradition feed you will find nothing better than this

We both chose the lasagne which came with fresh salad, coleslaw and hand cut chips. The lasagne was home made and delicious unlike the sloppy dish served up in chain restaurants. Everywhere including the toilets were spotlessly clean. Well worth a visit
