Scafell Hotel Restaurant in Allerdale

The Ladore Falls is a lovely old hotel which we have enjoyed a number of times over the years. My wife and I are an elderly retires business couple and booked a three night stay from September 8th 2020. Jane is recovering from major abdominal surgery and the trip was her first few days away after many weeks. We arrived after a 120 mile trip at 5pm tired and parked my wife’s modesty sized red sports car outside the main entrance while we unloaded our luggage. we queued at the reception desk and I asked if someone could help with 2 suit cases and 2 suit bags. A member of staff said she would try to accommodate us. At this point we were unfortunate enough to meet the General Manager although he did not introduce himself as such. “No we cannot help with luggage it may be contaminated” was his response. We moved towards the lift and he said “ I hope you are not going to leave your car there too long”. He was not impolite, just cold and totally disinterested. I asked how would people with more serious disabilities would manage. His response was “They simply wouldn’t come here”was his response. The lift holds 2 people and with luggage is very difficult especially as I have a chronic back condition. We arrived at room 331 and as we opened the door found another flight of narrow stairs to the room. By this time we were both exhausted. The room was comfortable but a little dated and there was a magnificent view over the lake. We found no soap in the bathroom and the shower tray had black mould around the edges. We found the bar area comfortable and the staff friendly and attentive if a little over familiar. As we sat there over a bottle of wine it was obvious that there was a training program. A number of people complained about wrong orders and excessive waits. Dinner on the first night was excellent. Food quality was good and the restaurant manager was first class. Dinner on the second night was also good but we waited 40 minutes between courses. Breakfast on both the mornings of our stay was first class. When we arrived back to the hotel after our first day we found dirty towels, dirty wine glasses, still no soap and an unmade bed. I tried for 10 minutes to contact reception with no response. We were eventually told that that because of COVID rooms were only serviced every third day. It was at this point we decided to go home and forego our final nights stay. We asked to see the manager and eventually a gentleman called Ritchie interviewed us and agreed to refund £320. He said COVID had presented great difficulties, which of course we understand. East European staff had returned home after lockdown. New summer staff had been recruited on the hotel reopening but with little or no time to train them properly. Government and head office policy was changing daily which was causing difficulty in running the business. Our conclusion is one of understanding, but also disappointment. £960 for a three night stay under these conditions is not acceptable. Had the general manager been more understanding and informative at the start we would probably have stayed the three nights. Our 6 star hotel in Beverley is the place we will remain for the foreseeable future. We did get one night refund for £320 for the night we didn’t stayRead lessDate of experience: September 2020

We had not been to The Riverside Bar for a couple of years and we were delighted to see that it had been refurbished recently making it a welcoming place with excellent food and service. The choice of food was great a day we enjoyed our dinner there. We will definitely go back there when we return to Borrowdale.

For over forty years l have been visiting this bar. For some twenty years,my brother, Frank, worked here.The Riverside Bar is the "real deal", as they say, in that it caters for every type of visitor ranging from locals to climbers and hill walkers to casual visitors. If you want good beer, nice food and great conversation plus advice on how to stay happy and safe on the surrounding mountains, this is the bar for you.

Traditional Lakeland bar with excellent range of beers & gins. Bar food served lunch and evening. Slate floors so walkers and dogs welcome. Real Fire ready for those cold winter days & nights. Excellent service.

We were staying at the Scafell Hotel, where we'd had a superb meal in the restaurant the evening before. We visited the Riverside bar on site for an evening bar meal this time, and were disappointed with the food. I ordered homemade parsnip soup, which was like a tasteless parsnip puree and came with a very dry piece of ciabatta bread, no butter, and my husband had an average-rate hot-pot which he was surprised to find contained pieces of black pudding. If we return to Scafell hotel and want a bar meal, we will travel elsewhere for it, and preferably not to another dog-friendly eating area.

Nipped in to borrowdale for a nice walk, stopped off here for a bite to eat, food was lovely and efficient friendly staff gave it a welcoming feeling, beer very good too

Staying at the hotel with our pet the riverside allows pets. Note you can't use the main restaurant located in hotel with pets. Food orders taken at bar and they do not take reservations. There is a specials board and regular menu, most dishes priced at £12.95. Particularly enjoyed lamb hentry served with mash and veg. Good portion sizes. Desserts around £6 Good too, loved sticky toffee pudding. Servers attentive and quick to remove finished plates.If staying in hotel you can charge to room. Liked the water bowls left out for dogs and dog treats sold £1 A bag.

Excellent pub grub with lots of choice. Nice atmosphere. You can't book a table, it is first come first served so get there early as it always appears to be busy. Staff friendly and food excellent.

Gorgeous place , lovely and friendly , and great food . Was very relaxing and loved every minute of being here, will definetly be back very soon x

We visited here for a meal after a long walk the food was great. However only just managed to get a table so I would recommend to book in advance. But well worth a visit.

Great food , good friendly bar staff , pet friendly, a good pint and would recommend calling in if Passing.

Detenido por la carretera en borrowdale, fuimos a dar un paseo buscando un pub y encontramos este lugar, y qué descubrimiento! !El cordero que fue pedido muy bien cocinado. . Todas las comidas son comida abundante pub inglés.Las comidas eran sorprendentemente muy buena relación calidad-lagos en £11 y decir que estábamos en el medio de la nada, me sorprendió gratamente.El personal era muy amable (especialmente el chico escocés, olvidado su nombre, pero un tipo)Soy un visitante habitual de los lagos, así que sin duda volveremos.

A very popular bar that serves great food in a relaxed atmosphere. We spent three nights in this bar with friends and I would certainly recommend it.

Un animado bar excepcionalmente pub con un buen menú con una amplia variedad de platos interesantes y tradicionales (aunque un poco caro para lo que era pero bueno, centro de patrimonio de la humanidad y todo eso! ).

Come here every year with friends while camping in keswick, always loved it! However on this occasion we were a little disappointed it was just getting on 10pm and we asked for coffees and were told the coffee machine had been cleaned and switched off! Little strange considering there were signs all over the bar advertising liquor coffees etc, so i asked for x4 teas again was told the coffee machine was off, im pretty sure tea only requires hot water, i work in a restaurant my self and would never use such a lazy excuse.

Estado viniendo a este pub durante años ahora, final perfecto para un paseo de granja hallows sin embargo nos presentamos el viernes por la noche para un par de copas para ver el final de un viaje de camping, pedimos unas bebidas, jugamos uno, como usted. .

Friendly and helpful efficient staff. Food was of a high quality. Very busy for a Sunday evening out in the country which was not expected..having enjoyed a very good meal can understand it being busy..Highly recommend this bar/restaurant if In the area.

Llamado aquí para una bebida y una cena mientras realiza la costa a costa. Hay una buena selección de cervezas locales, pero nos quedamos muy decepcionados con la comida que pedimos como uno de los platos era frío y la otra era nada especial a pesar de la etiqueta de precio

Had a lovely relaxing evening here, the drinks were plentiful and much needed after all the miles!! Friendly and welcoming, would have liked to sit by the river put that area was closed.

Gran lugar para conseguir una pinta de haber hecho Catbells > Alta > Maiden Moor Spy. Buena cerveza, perros (GRAN LUJO selección recoge y mezcla de detrás de la barra). Precioso jardín para disfrutar del sol. Sólo decepción por limpieza sour bar en uno de nuestros daba visitas.

Fui con mi esposo y dos hijos adolescentes. Tuvimos la suerte de conseguir la última mesa 10 minutos después que empezaron a servir la comida. Tan ocupado! Tuvimos una excelente comida que servían extraordinariamente rápido. A un precio muy razonable. Cerveza y vino también muy bueno. Lo recomiendo encarecidamente!

Excellent pub Todd helped us each time we went in the food was excellent .the drinks lovley the fire made it feel cosy .would highly recommend I would go back again and again

The Riverside is a very pleasant bar in a great location in The Lakes serving good food and beer with the bonus of a loyalty card where you get a free pint after you have bought eight (not necessarily in one evening).

Comimos aquí durante su estancia en el hotel (al lado de la puerta Scafell tuvimos una comida incluido en nuestra primera noche en un hotel! ) La comida era deliciosa y buena relación calidad-precio. Tenía una tarta deliciosa carne y ale mientras mi marido tenía una tortilla. El único inconveniente fue que tuvimos una espera de 45 minutos para la comida, estaba muy ocupado en el bar pero puede haber sido útil si nos habían informado de que no puede ser un retraso en nuestra comida. Habiendo dicho que comer allí ya que la comida era de primera categoría.

Hemos comido aquí en numerosas ocasiones cuando se alojen en Rosthwaite. Una buena selección de cervezas y un montón de lo que yo a largo plazo "comida" en el menú, tales como tartas, guisos y pescado y patatas fritas. Puede estar muy concurrido, pero esto nos dio la oportunidad de compartir una mesa y tener una conversación interesante con otra pareja. Los perros son bienvenidos. El personal siempre nos ha parecido amable.

Alojarse en el Scafell Hotel impone debes probar este bar, especialmente para la selección de cervezas y la comida es muy buena. . La cocina. Comparte con el hotel, donde la comida es excelente. Un ambiente acogedor, especialmente con el fuego crepitante cuando entramos después de un largo paseo muy mojado. Me gusta otros críticos no reconocen la críticas hechas - nuestra experiencia fue tal que volveremos a ambos y bar.

El personal amable y acogedor, el menú es variado, y las porciones de comida son muy abundantes, las ofertas especiales merece la pena verla, y los postres son también muy buenos y variados. El menú podría hacer con posiblemente un plato de pasta y quizás para la persona con una pequeña porción apetito una pequeña sección en el menú. Buenas cervezas locales disponibles, una gran chimenea, un ambiente encantador. Vale la pena una visita.

Qué lugar maravilloso y acogedor para comer, beber y absorber el ambiente. Personal fantástico, comida y cerveza. Un grupo grande de nosotros de Norfolk para un fin de semana de senderismo y montaña/colina estaban parando en un camping que necesiten un sitio cerca de granero para las comidas de la tarde - no nos llevó tiempo encontrar el Bar Río escondido detrás de las principales necesidades Scafell Hotel mucho mejor señalización para llegar folk. No nos decepcionó con la recepción que recibimos, y calidad de servicio. Somos una forma que disfrutar de un montón de ruido bien y después de 2 noches el personal participar en nuestras payasadas, no estoy seguro de si algunos de los clientes más apreciado, pero parecía. Todos los 11 de nosotros Felizmente recomendaría este lugar para todos y no hay nadie que tome su barro botas o amarre su perro afuera, todos son bienvenidos.

Please see my review within the review given for the Scafell Hotel. We found this bar lively and with good food and good selection of drinks at the bar.

Very busy but very well managed. Lovely atmosphere, warm fire and accommodating staff. Really good. Would definitely make a return visit.

Dos de los 5 principales campos pedimos comida no eran para comer lo que quieras, y por lo tanto no eran consumidos. Los otros campos eran normales. Cuando intentamos tomar postres nos dijeron que era demasiado tarde. (contrario a la política del hotel nos dijo)

Tuvimos una comida aquí recientemente, mientras haciendo la costa a un paseo por la costa (estábamos de camping por la calle). El personal era genial y la comida era encantador. Además, la camarera y el chef hizo por encima y más allá para nosotros. Encontramos que no había una tienda donde pudimos comprar provisiones para los siguientes días de paseo, pero nos dijeron que el chef puede preparar un almuerzo empacado, genial! Y en vez de tener que esperar hasta las 11:00 pm o volver a la mañana siguiente para recogerla, juntos para antes de irnos, el llevar mejores que tuvimos en toda la semana. Gracias mucho apreciamos más que sabes. Se hizo una gran diferencia para nosotros y esperamos volver el próximo año.

Two of the 5 main courses we ordered we almost inedible. When we tried to order desserts we were told we were too late - having been given no previous warning. Eventually the chef rustled something up.

Nos estábamos alojando en Seatoller y el bar estaba recomendado. Era un lugar muy acogedor, con un montón de amigos caninos! Tuve una maravillosa tarta de puerro para absolutamente la cena. Deliciosos! Efectivamente hizo un excelente café. Los clientes eran todos unos con otros, y era una gran experiencia!

Me he bajado en el río más de una vez este verano mientras viajaban de acampada con mi perrito.

Cuando en Borrowdale, mi compañero de escalada y yo nunca dejará de pasar por el bar en el Scafell Inn por una pinta y a reflexionar en un día fructífero. Es el ambiente perfecto para los aventureros por igual, una buena selección de ale y un poco agradable de grub. Acogedor y cálido en el invierno (el fuego) pero bastante concurrida en verano (es los turistas). Pide cerdo rayando, yo no voy a decirte que tienes que verlo por ti mismo. Escupiendo distancia de YHA Borrowdale (atajo a través de la trasera de Rosethwait y cruzando campos) y un paseo por la carretera de Camping Capilla de la casa de la granja. He estado frecuentando el bar Riverside durante años y años, con mis colegas de escalada/mtb o mi esposa, simplemente no necesitas encontrar en ningún otro sitio por una pinta y un bocado. Gran personal, buen ambiente, gran cervezas... buenos momentos.

Estamos allí tres veces el almuerzo y la cena del primer día. Pescado y patatas fritas y una hamburguesa. Seguido de gambas y patatas fritas y otra hamburguesa la noche siguiente.

The pub linked to the Scafell Hotel. Generous food, not overpriced, good beer and good pub atmosphere.

No he estado leyendo algunas críticas recientes, y sentí que tenía que comentar! Es muy triste que algunos visitantes han hecho tales comentarios negativos sobre el bar, dado el impacto devastador de las inundaciones han tenido en el bar y en el hotel, y ambos son de carrocería recupera. El personal era genial y tan servicial como siempre, rápido disculpas por cualquier inconveniente respecto de los aseos temporales debido a la reforma. Hemos visitado en dos ocasiones desde las inundaciones en diciembre y no puedo ponerle ninguna pega al personal en sus esfuerzos decididos para garantizar un buen servicio no sólo ser mejorados. Hay un nuevo menú con una selección fabulosa de paté de hígado de pollo que elegí, que era delicioso, seguido por el pollo casero, puerro y jamón tarta, que era increíble y abundante - no hay espacio para el postre. Nuestros hijos tenían filetes de pollo con nata y pollo (real no procesados), seguido de helado. Niños y perros nos hicieron sentir muy bienvenidos y agobien asegurando nuestra visita fue agradable y relajante. Espero que nuestra próxima visita y ver los resultados de las reformas. No puedo alabar el equipo suficiente para garantizar un buen nivel de servicio se ha mantenido a pesar de los daños causados por las inundaciones devastadoras. Este tipo de servicio de fidelización de clientes y merece no feedback negativo.

Me encanta este lugar y fue muy triste escuchar de inundaciones en diciembre, así que queríamos volver y apoyo de Keswick y las zonas circundantes. El menú ha cambiado y era una opción encantadora - mi marido tenía la langostinos frescos de tigre en la salsa de ajo crema y era delicioso, yo no soy tan aventurero, así que fuimos para el Welsh Rarebit y era muy sabroso! (aunque un poco contundente para un arranque) terminamos compartiendo el budín de carne con un vino casero tinto y cebolleta salsa y fue una gozada nostaligic del pasado con un toque!

Hemos estado en el Scafell Hotel durante un número de años y visitamos el bar Riverside cada vez hemos sido.

What a shame! So out of context in the beautiful village of Rosthwaite. Dark, dingy bar with poor furnishings, tiny terrace littered with full ashtrays, toilets with tiles hanging off the wall and portaloos for men. We could not get out quick enough

Como el nombre sugiere este es un conveniente para explorar muchos de los picos más altos de Inglaterra y algunos magníficos paseos. Sólo visitamos el bar, así que no puedo comentar en el hotel. El interior pudiera haber sido monótona y necesita cambiar pero cada superficie bullían melodías con familias era concievable agotado buscando gorge aventuras tras su días. Como tal, el personal parecía bajo presión pero, milagrosamente, parecía estar sosteniendo cosas juntos y nos sirvieron rápidamente, teniendo en cuenta. La selección de la comida es comida de pub estándar, grandes porciones, relativamente barato, altamente calorífico y lo estará después escalaron unos picos. Sus aros de cebolla son espectaculares! Algunas pintas de sidra de hielo frío en su jardín de cerveza coronó una agradable visita. Las colas de la puerta cuando nos fuimos sugiero necesita reservar o levantar temprano como nosotros.

Vine aquí por primera vez en el 1970 y no parece haber cambiado radicalmente desde entonces. Bar los excursionistas 'en la parte trasera del Scafell Hotel. Zona de estar agradable junto al río y decente. refrescos externo Es una pena que el inodoro no eran totalmente operacionales, probablemente pariente de los daños provocados por las inundaciones registradas el año pasado - portátil externo no eran loos agradable!

Pasamos el fin de semana en Borrowdale y hicieron que nuestra habitual visita a nuestro favorito pequeño pub. Así decepcionado cómo descuidado el lugar. Llena de moscas, doble acristalamiento han ido claramente. Sentí descuidado y urgente necesidad de cuidados. El principal problema era el estado temporal portales, debido a la caballeros están cerrados. No hay necesidad alguna de estas para ser autorizado a entrar en un estado asqueroso. Absolutamente chocante. He estado en aseos limpiador en festivales!! No intente limpiar estas en todo. Papel higiénico sucio todo el suelo y apestaba totalmente. No hay manera de que nadie del hotel había sido en estos, limpiar ellos por varios días. Me quejé a uno de los empleados del bar, quien simplemente se encogió de hombros. Estábamos con la intención de comer en el pub, pero no nos molestamos y nos fuimos después de una copa. Ven Señor. No es esto lo que podemos esperar de este gran y pequeño bar.

Dejamos aquí para una bebida antes de la cena después de la caminata de Ambleside a través de Grasmere, aunque no estábamos alojados en el hotel contiguo. Fue una visita de regreso para mí, pero la primera vez para mi esposa.

Mi marido y yo acabamos de estar en el bar después de un largo paseo de hoy. La primera impresión agradable bar antiguo para senderistas y perros, pero de acuerdo con una crítica con respecto a las moscas, horrible todos volando alrededor de las bar. La comida llegó rápidamente, pero no es satisfactoria. Yo había pedido flan casero de carne con guisantes patatas fritas caseras, budín blanda bien, guisantes blandos terrible encuentra completamente en plato totalmente secos y no comestible. Patatas fritas caseras no eran sin duda más congeladas o frito. Como camarera en diciendo que estábamos dejando su respuesta fue una sonrisa y gracias!!! Sin duda no visitar de nuevo.

Al entrar al pub, parecía perfecto. A pesar de las evidentes errores gramaticales y ortográficos en la pizarra afuera, el entorno idílico en el río con comedor al aire libre, comida de pub tradicional (aparentemente las mejores hamburguesas de Borrowdale), y buenas cervezas parecía ser justo lo que necesitas después de caminar hasta la cima de Scafell Pike.

The homemade soup on the menu turned out to be tinned muck that had only seen the warmth of the waitresses hands. Hungry would have been a better option.

Es triste ver un pub ha perdido su camino. Nuestra comida en la primera noche, a pesar llegó rápidamente un bar completo viendo el partido de Gales/ni, y hacía calor, pero desgraciadamente no a la altura de los estándares.

La primera noche comimos aquí, la comida era buena. Marido disfrutó su hamburguesa y realmente me gustó la tortilla pizzaiola. El único inconveniente era la excusa para ensalada muy débil. La camarera era genial. La segunda noche nos pidió la cazuela juegos que venía - según el menú - con un bollo de hierbas y verduras del día. Cuando la comida llegó no había vegetales y el bollo estuvo representada por dos rebanadas de pan de ajo, es totalmente insuficiente para lidiar con la salsa. Cuando fui al bar y preguntó las omisiones, me dijeron que el plato fue correcta. Entonces me señaló el menú. De nuevo me dijeron que el plato vino con pan de ajo, pero, al final, uno de los empleados me tomó en serio. No hay explicación para el bollo de falta se acercaba pero nos prometieron las verduras, que llegó justo cuando estábamos terminando las cazuelas. Tengo que decir que la cazuela era muy sabrosa.

Sorry but the chips served with our lunch had to be the worst ever. Cold, chewy, I would say probably cooked some time before and reheated along with the veg. Staff were very pleasant, but think the bar needs a bit of TLC. Wouldn't recommend.

El menú parecía bueno. Pedimos una hamburguesa y patatas fritas, comida muy mediocre, patatas fritas en seco y duro, no recién preparado, burger la mitad de la pelea, salsa ketchup y probablemente secreto mayo mezclados. Se sirve en una tabla de cortar de madera rajada, lo el punto de que si la comida era tan tan. Así que vaya por la línea de cervezas, decente y esperar una comida regular.

The riverside bar is an ideal place to whet one's whistle between walks on the surrounding fells. You can go in with your boots on and enjoy good beer. There are plenty of interesting illustrations to admire while enjoying yourself. The pork scratchings are exceptional.

No alimentar la comida basura sirve en el bar Riverside a mi perro.

Después de leer otras críticas tripadvisor antes de llegar nos quedamos con ganas de comer después de un paseo por la mañana aquí. Llegamos alrededor de las 1 de la tarde. La decoración es tradicional, pero me parece un poco cansado - pintura desconchada y estantes polvorientos. La comida era mala, muy sosa, tibio y la mayoría de artículos parecían haber sido recalentadas en vez de fresco. Además, los tamaños de porción eran irregulares, uno de las comidas de los niños era enorme, el otro era pequeña. Una de las pocas veces que tripadvisor nos decepcionó.

El Keep it simple. La comida está bien, bien, bien Personal, ambiente hermoso ubicación. Me paré aquí con amigos para algo de comida, y estuvo bien, el lugar estaba muy lleno y tuvimos suerte de conseguir una mesa con sólo una corta espera, otros como nos íbamos no fueron tan afortunados.

Yo era un visitante del bar, compramos un montón de comida y bebidas, así como todos los 20 miembros de mi partido.

Como estábamos conduciendo a lo largo de encontramos el bar Riverside en el fondo del valle. Parecía bastante así que nos detuvimos para el almuerzo.

Stayed in the hotel and had a lovely lunch here before our walk. Food is fresh and portions are huge! Fantastic service by all.

Llegamos aquí justo después de las 2 pm cuando lo acaba de tomar la comida, pero las señales Darren (el barman) amablemente dijo que íbamos a perder la comida principal pero que podrían hacer nosotros algo de sopa que venía con 2 rebanadas de pan. Yo estaba un poco dudoso sobre esto pero tenía hambre así que de acuerdo!

Visitamos el bar senderistas hotel scafell (detrás del hotel) con dos amigos, en busca de un par de cervezas y abundante comida antes de un maratón de montaña amanecer el día después. Crepitante abierto, buena ale, buen servicio, días felices. Eso fue hasta la comida llegó. Tarta juegos con bollo: no bollo (2 rebanadas de pan de ajo) con 4 trozos de carne en un consomé, piscina con zanahorias y apio y una guarnición de verduras compuesto de más zanahorias con col roja. Un amigo tarta de puerro pollo y ordenados, que llegó tibia, otro amigo tenía una hamburguesa y patatas fritas, que estaba bien. Lo siento chicos, solo espero una buena comida de pub, nada más, pero en esta ocasión que estaban muy lejos de la marca. Volveré para una cerveza, por supuesto, es un buen bar (abierto en invierno) pero aléjate de la comida.

Oh cielos, qué ha sucedido con el Scafell Hotel, el bar siempre fue un senderistas Refugio y lugar acogedor. Llamé para la cena mientras caminando por las C2C y fue muy decepcionante. La cerveza era sin embargo, como siempre, excelente. Pregunté si tenían wi-fi, pero fue informado por una mujer muy desagradable detrás de la barra que 'por qué no probar una conversación". No se solidarizarán con la renuencia de algunos bares para acomodar a teléfonos móviles y dispositivos, y estoy de acuerdo en que 'la conversación' es mucho preferible, sin embargo, yo estaba en mi propio caminar Wainwright de costa a costa y no había señal de teléfono móvil y el pueblo no estaba funcionando. Mi única esperanza de informes inicio fue por internet. Sin embargo, como digo, no fue un gran problema, pero la señorita grosería! Pedí una cazuela de conejo que era horrible, y se sirve con patatas fritas casi cruda y verduras. Pagué y enseguida a la izquierda volviendo a mi preciosa, confortable B&B.; Espero que los capturados en un mal día; conseguir un agarre el Scafell!

From actually making a reservation to enjoying the most amazing food, this hotel cannot do enough for you.After climbing Scafell pike, checked in to a lovely modern room overlooking the river. It was very cosy, nicely decorated, lovely bathroom, huge fluffy towels, tea / coffee / water / biscuits.The food was outstanding, with lots of little extras along the way, like tasters, sorbets etc. Service was outstanding, wine great and not over-priced.Breakfast was beautiful too. All freshly cooked to order plus a lovely contintental buffet.I really cannot praise this hotel enough. Every employee is lovely and friendly.Oh they're dog friendly too, so took my Iggy on his first holiday, he was welcome in the bar and slept soundly in his crate over dinner. Thank you to the whole team for providing an exceptional service!

Estamos de vuelta en el Scafell de nuevo este mes. Ha sido 4 veces antes en ofertas de Travelzoo. Llamamos al pub la semana pasada para un snack bar. Nos avergüenza cuando el camarero aclaro nuestra mesa porque las raciones eran enormes y demasiado para comer. Lo que comimos era de calidad, gracias.

Not haute cuisine but good solid pub food and a decent range of beers. Fire was welcome on a wet cold day.

We booked 2 nights here as a special birthday treat for my husband. The welcome was terrific. Room superb with everything one could wish for in a real country house hotel. Fabulous lounge and bar, the staff really made us feel special. The first night we had booked for a 4 course dinner. What amazing food, beautifully presented. Staff were jolly but professional. Breakfasts offered smoked haddock which again marked this hotel out as first class. Fabulous chef. Cannot recommend this highly enough. We will be back. It was an additional treat to have a great pub next door which offered real ale, kept superbly by Todd. Great welcome too... Log fire greeted us after a couple of hard days walking... Would certainly recommend this hotel and the pub. We will be back.

Nos hospedamos en el hotel Scafell para el fin

Siempre disfrutar de nuestras comidas en el restaurante, el desayuno y la cena son incomparables. El chef es encomiable por sus habilidades, la tarta de limón fue un verdadero ' ¡guau»; asimismo, aprecio su flexibilidad. El servicio también es genial, todo el personal es eficiente, informados de mis las debilidades y tolerante con las bromas de mi marido.

Called in at the Riverside one evening ,great range of local beers & i ordered the Cajun burger.Lovely flavoured and tender nice chips the side salad was a bit basic but that was the only thing i could fault will be calling in on the next time of passing

Ate here with some friends at the weekend. Have been here quite a few times over the years and it's a nice place which can get a bit crowded at times. Very dog-friendly. i don't think I've ever seen so many dogs in one bar so don't go in if you don't like dogs. The food was nice (i had the game caserole) with a big portion. the plate was scorching hot but unfortunately i couldn't say the same for the food in it which was lukewarm. Decent selection of beers and friendly enough but a bit more attention to detail,when it comes to serving the food. pity as it slightly spoiled a pleasant evening.

Lovely bar with great food. Staff were friendly and knowledgable about the local area. Great range of beers and spirits, tasty too. Food was delicious with generous portions. Will definately be returning when we are back in the area.

We love spending time in here great bar food good ales roaring real firesand a terrific atmosphere among walkers climbers of all ages

Had evening meal in the restraunt and the food was excellent. Staff were good n knew the menu. Can't wait to eat there again

Llegamos aquí a dar un paseo por un aguacero torrencial, literalmente ya que la comida estaba a punto de acabar a las 2.00 pm. Se negaron a ofrecer cualquier comida, o permitir que nos comimos nuestro propio con las bebidas que compramos en el bar. Sin embargo seguían sirven postres a otra mesa. inflexible y antipático, han perdido la costumbre en el futuro.

We have eaten here 4 times and found the food and service excellent. A little expensive at the menu price, but if you can get a Travelzoo (or similar) voucher for dinner b&b you can be sure of great value. If you are a real ale fan, visit the hotel's public bar where several draft beers are available.

By far the best sunday lunch in the keswick area Make the journey down to rosthwaite passing all the others offering same on the way (i can assure you they are not) Enjoy the large tables properly set out for a lovely meal

I have never been to a restaurant where staff were so little service minded. Customer first does not exit here. We were 13 to celebrate a birthday. 12 ordered a dessert and the one (the host who had birthday) wanted a coffee for dessert. This was refused due to processes dictated by management, and management was not available. Coffee can only be served in the lobby. This would have ment that the host would have to move to the lobby to get a coffee when the rest would have been served the dessert.Finally, after discussing also with the guys at the reception, who was apparently the most senior member of staff available, the waitress served the coffee and was shouting at us and blamed us when serving it so all other clients looked at us.Unfortunately, the place does not only look like middle ages but customer and service policies seem to also date form those times.

We had a fantastic evening meal whilst staying at the Scafell Hotel - not usually a 4 course meal fan the balance the chef conjured up for our menu choice was a great credit to him and his team - a brilliant meal (and very enjoyable)

Exceptional food and the loveliest restaurant staff you could wish for so attentive and caring without being gushing

We only had a drink here but it seemed like a nice traditional pub. I have been told when the fire is going on cold days it has a very cosy feel to it. With only 3 benches by the river garden we were happy to get one and it was lovely to hear the water whilst having a drink.

We often pop into the Riverside Bar after being out on the hills. It's hit and miss with the bar staff, but today we had a barman who was polite and helpful. We had a couple of sandwiches (steak sandwich and a bacon and brie) which we asked for with wholemeal bread. We didn't expect the bread to be thin cheap sliced brown bread so that was a bit of a let down although the actual fillings were OK. Certainly not worth the price though - you'd expect quality bread in a sandwich costing over £5!There are also problems with flies in the bar - and this is something we noticed last time we were there too so not a one-off. Puts you right off your food when you have flies constantly buzzing around you.And also - as noted in other reviews, the gents needs looking at - or do they think that men don't wash their hands unless they are going for a 'sit-down' visit?

The bar at the back of the Scafell Hotel is just about the only place to eat at night if you're staying in the area and don't have transport, as we were when doing the Coast to Coast walk. So first piece of advice to anyone reading this, if you've got a car, drive somewhere else. Why?First impressions - the tables in the pub are filthy, the varnish/paint is coming off in places and there are flies everywhere. This is an establishment that serves food by the way.The staff are disinterested, and apart from one exception, miserable and unfriendlyThere is a strong signal for wifi - but mere customers aren't allowed to use it. After quizzing the one member of staff who could do something other than grunt I think I worked out that wifi is for staff use onlyFood is at best average, at worst poor and, of course, this is the heart of Lake District honeypot country so prices are sky-high for what you getSame goes for the beer - a reasonable choice but £3.60 a pint for beer that's not very well keptGeneral ambience of the place - it's just miserable in there and devoid of life and atmosphere.Usually I can think of at least something positive to say about places I visit, but I really am struggling to find something good to say about the Riverside Bar. I just wonder what overseas visitors think when they come to the UK and find beautiful locations like Borrowdale ruined by places like this.

Good atmosphere and a some excellent real ale. The food was only average but good value and served promptly. Very much a walkers bar with dogs welcomed.

A very warm and welcoming hotel with excellent food and service. A little of put Keswick, a beautiful spot with no phone signal for a relaxing getaway. Beautiful food, well presented with coffee and petit fours served in the lounge by a roaring fire.

Ate dinner here twice in a week as it was close to our campsite. Both dinners were good, especially the trout. On both visits we were lucky enough to get a table outside by the river. Staff on our first visit (Monday) weren't great, especially a rather snappy man. I figured he might have just been having a really bad day, so didn't let him put us off returning. Staff on our second visit (Thursday) were all different, and much, much better. It goes to show how staff impact on the overall experience. Inside of the bar looks like it would be cosy on a winter's night, but in the good weather the seats by the river were nice.

Good choice of real ales (reasonably priced) but the food was a little expensive, £12.00 for a burger? Staff were ultra friendly although very busy serving meals as well as beer. The menu was more or less the same as several years ago and the "specials" were the same each night we visited. The gents could do with a refurb, only cold water and the basin is in the cubicle so if that's occupied you can't wash your hands without a wait. Tip : give the battered fish a miss unless you like undercooked mush

Lively fun and busy ( unlike next door !). Directly on C2c walk . Plenty of beers and bar meals. If weather is good Riverside Bar.

Lovely meal, freshly made. Attractive dining room with table cloths and starched napkins. Staff friendly and professional. Restaurant had relaxing atmosphere just what we needed after fell walk.

Having searched for an hour or so to find a restaurant that was not a place that needed to be dressed in a suit and tie, the wife and I found Scafell Hotel and Restaurant.The surroundings are lovely and its location is great and I cannot comment on the hotel, however the restaurant leaves a lot to be desired and we were very disappointed at the quality of the food presented to us.I ordered the food at the bar as instructed and was surprised to find that payment was demanded prior to the food being served, however I ordered Codling fillet and chips with peas for my wife and a 8oz Sirloin steak for myself.Starting with the chips on both meals, they were not fresh and judging by their appearance I would have said they had been reheated from sometime before, maybe hours.The fish was undercooked and was raw in the middle and had not been filleted correctly as there were numerous bones that needed to be removed on each and every mouthful. The peas were hard and were undercooked.The steak was very thin and was quite tough however its flavour was OK, but was certainly not worth £15.95. A steak in my local restaurant this size would have been cooked better and would have been about £10 to £11.Although the meal was edible it really was not what I would expect from a restaurant that has the propensity to be a gold mine.We left very disappointed and after careful consideration we decided not to complain as they had already taken payment and the chances of a refund would have been small.It is therefore with some regret that I feel it necessary to publish this report on Trip Advisor.

We are regular visitors to Borrowdale and enjoy superb walks with groups of friends. More often than not the day is rounded off by a visit to the Riverside Bar for drinks and food. There are always a number of real ales available and a good choice of standard pub grub, on our recent visit I tried the special beef burger with blue cheese, it was delicious! Visitors need to understand that this a walkers bar,there will be dogs and people wearing wet hiking gear and yes the gents need updating. The bar is a great meeting point though and we have had many happy times there.

We called in here for a quick drink one evening as we have done many times on previous visits. However this time it was very disappointing due to the unfriendly staff who did not acknowledge me when ordering drinks. When they brought the hot drinks to the table the tray was put down abruptly again with no acknowledgement. Also the tables were untidy with dirty plates. Will think twice about calling in here again when there are places you get a much warmer welcome and made to feel like they want your custom.

Excellent food, large portions, friendly service, Brilliant !We had a young family and they were very supportive and gave the boys a chocolate bar after lunch.

Delicious food, very well presented. Varied menu,very reasonably priced wine, excellent, friendly service and luxurious surroundings. Coffee and truffles served beside a roaring log fire.

We walked to this 'pub' which is actually the back bar for the hotel. Flagstone floors mean you don't have to take your boots off and the open fire kept us warm and allowed some in the group to dry their boots. Food was good - just what you would expect from the extensive bar menu. Jennings on tap rounded it off nicely. A good destination for a walk or stopping off point on a drive up Borrowdale.

We visited the Scafell Hotel for an evening meal whilst staying in nearby Seatoller. It turned out to be a good choice, and what one would expect from a country pub-like meal. The beer was cold and well priced, the food hot and filling. No frills but a good atmosphere.

Really enjoyed our 1 night stay yesterday. Warm comfortable hotel, friendly down to earth staff and delicious food. Well worth a return visit.

My husband and I called for lunch today. There was no welcome to speak of, two girls serving need training in customer service. The food was ok, basic pub grub fare. But the decor and presentation of the Riverside Bar is what really needs attention. It is one of the many pubs in this country that is playing the " ye olde worlde pub " card ....when in actual fact it just hasn't been decorated, carpeted or given any TLC since the 70's ! Missing shades on the wall lights, bulbs out not replaced and general shoddy lazy presentation. I am afraid to say we will not recommend or return.

Excellent breakfast, wonderful and inventive dinner menu superbly cooked and presented. No wonder the hotel has won awards for catering in 2014

We ended up here at 3pm on a Sat in November, and they were still serving food...which is a note to point out if you are in the Borrowdale area looking for a late lunch! Good choice of drinks and lovely staff. Food was of a really good standard. The Homemade Steak Pudding was the best I have had in years. They also do a 2 pint beer carrrier to takeaway, which we thought an excellent idea. Highly recommend this pub.
