The Fizzy Tarte in South Lakeland

Heard about this place for many years. So small. Waiters brilliant. Cocktails very poor. So small. It worth the money. Not impressed

We had the most amazing experience at the Fizzy Tarte on March 8th. We had booked afternoon tea with LPR champagne for my wife's birthday. And it was just amazing ! the food was fresh and not to heavy as is with most afternoon teas we have had in the past. However what made the experience even better was the service and the staff. 10 out 10 does no do them all justice. We were looked after by Izzy, Flori,Connor & Razvan. These guys just made the whole experience for us with their friendly yet professional attitude to their work. We loved it so much we booked an extra night at The Cranleigh hotel and came back for drinks the next day :) Keep up the good work and we hope to see you all soon. Lots of love Guy & Siobhan xx

Fantastic place really warm friendly atmosphere staff couldn't be anymore helpful. Food was first class we had afternoon tea and it was faultless and the cocktails were superb

Couldn’t have had a better experience - food and cocktails were amazing and the staff were very friendly. I would definitely recommend visiting if you’re nearby!

Xenia made our visit one to remember. She was very attentive and great service. Great music and drinks. Thank you Xenia and the Fizzy Tarte

Venue is great for food and drink. It has a warm and inviting atmosphere; staff are friendly and always helpful. Afternoon tea was beautifully presented.

Great place for cocktails. Music is chill, location is choice, and prices are decent. The Top Tarté Barrel Aged Old Fashion is delicious. Make sure to ask for Xenia!

We were not even greeted going through the door, instead the female member of staff just looked at us, waiting for us to speak. This was a Sunday afternoon. We paid full price for our cocktails, which were also disappointing. The flyers were then placed on the table for happy hour, but not even that would keep us there for another drink! Very disappointing.

Lovely staff who welcomed us in from the cold. The cocktails were excellent - we had some in the happy hour and then returned for nightcaps!! Loved the lighting in the booth room and the music. Reminded us of being in a ski resort.

Fantastic place, atmosphere food and drinks amazing. What we loved the most was that there is no dogs allowed inside, finding somewhere to eat these days without the presence of dogs is so hard so this place is a little gem!!

The best afternoon tea I have ever had. Beautifully presented, good choice of savoury and sweet, lovely setting.

Love love this place !! We stay in Bowness frequently and always visit for the cocktails which are amazing. The staff are friendly and go beyond to make your visit the best, thankyou Xenia as always you go above and beyond ❤️ xx

This place was amazing for me and my friends. The drinks were awesome in special the cocktail Grape escape , I really recommend it .

very nice place. the staff behaved exemplary. I recommend everyone to try the Great Escape cocktail at least once. the best I've ever drunk. good job keep it up

Really let down with everything about the Fizzy Tarte from the service every step of the way to the food. We were given a gift voucher for Afternoon Tea for an anniversary trip to the lakes. When we tried to book in we were told the venue was undergoing some refurbishments so the afternoon tea wasn't available during the week. As we had to leave on the Saturday morning I asked if we could just use the voucher for breakfast instead (less than half the price of the afternoon tea) The staff member on the phone had to then speak to the restaurant owners and call me back later to confirm that we could do this. It's at this point I should say children really aren't welcome here. I'm not quite sure of the logic but I wish they would just make this a little more clear on their website etc. As it was we were told we would have to sit outside on the terrace as we had our kids with us. We arrived at 9.45 in the rain and asked, as we would be seated outside anyway, if we could sit down early to hide from the rain for 15 minutes until the venue opened. We were told quite definitely 'No'. We were shown to our seats a couple of minutes after 10 (I foolishly assumed they would at least let us in a minute or two early!) and ordered a full English, waffles with bacon and a waffles with bacon for the kids. At £13.50 the waffles aren't cheap so we were hoping to be really impressed. We couldn't have been more wrong. They were store bought, reheated waffles that snapped apart when you stuck a fork in them. I asked the general manager to feel the waffles when we went to pay and even he had to agree they were completely inedible. The full English was also very poor although perhaps a little better than the waffles. The toast and beans were pretty good. The bacon however was vastly overcooked, the hash browns verging on burnt, the sausages (boiled,halved and reheated on the grill to order) were the driest I have ever tasted and the eggs came with whole peppercorns in. I again queried this with the general manager who explained how the sausages were cooked (I'd assumed they were recooked but didn't quite realise they would have been so abused!) and again seemed to fully accept that the meal was all but inedible. As we had the gift voucher anyway and obviously no plans on returning we left the voucher anyway but had we been paying customers I would have been furious. I'm just staggered that a restaurant can have such poor customer service, appaling food and still be in business.

We had afternoon tea included in our stay at the Cranleigh. The afternoon tea was plentiful, and delicious lots of cakes, sandwiches and a scone . First time having afternoon tea here usually just have cocktails which are outstanding.

Lovely service and great cocktails. Hugo cocktails were to die for. blankets to cover our knees outside was a lovely touch and they looked good quality, 100% wool no less

Enjoyed an afternoon tea here as part of a package we booked with Cranleigh Boutique. We sat outside under the heaters which was surprisingly warm and sheltered considering it was raining so much! The afternoon tea was really nice, good mix of cakes, scones and sandwiches. Definitely worth a visit

Us and another couple went to the fizzy tart, it was our second drink on the night and we ordered a bottle of £105 champagne!!! They refused to serve us with an excuse of ‘you have had to much to drink’… very bad service and attitude from staff as we were there to spend a lot and have a good time.

Had afternoon tea here Sunday afternoon in October. The venue is very smart and comfortable. The afternoon tea was made with high quality ingredients and plentiful so we were nicely full afterwards. The staff were absolutely great, very friendly, helpful and welcoming and they really made it an enjoyable afternoon for us and therefore worth the money as it's not the cheapest place in town.

Lovely little champagne cafe bar in the middle of town. We had drinks in the evening which we thought were a little expensive hence the 4* review. We also had afternoon tea here courtesy of our hotel and it was excellent. Much more food than we could eat and the staff boxed up the cakes for us to take away. They also very kindly kept them for us for a couple of hours until we were ready to go back to our hotel. Overall we really liked the fizzy tarte and will go back next time we are in Windermere.

Myself and my husband came for afternoon tea and we were absolutely blown away by our experience! The food was superb and delicious and all the staff were lovely and friendly! We are already planning our next visit!!

Cocktails here are an AMAZING experience. Splash out and go for "Top Tarte" cocktails above the regular ones, the difference is WELL WORTH IT. - high end ingredients/spirits, amazing flavours and the staff know the story and makeup of every one of them.... My favourite is the top taste negroni, but have enjoyed the old fashioned, the rum punch, Jammie dodger, my wife likes the top taste fizzy taste, the top taste Pina colada (nothing like a creamy colada - very unique and special.

We passed by while looking for somewhere to eat and decided to pop back for cocktails, sat outside on the deck, lovely sparkly lights around, good atmosphere, nice background music. Our server was lovely and lively. The cocktails we had were just full of ice, both were cocktails we often have without the ice, I told the server we were disappointed with them and he took a bit off the bill, other than that it was a nice spot to relax and people watch.

Just got back from having a quick drink here, sadly the waiter spilt a full pint of lager over me, I was completely drenched. Accidents happen and I wouldn’t never make a fuss when he didn’t mean to. He said not to worry about the drinks (assumed we weren’t paying) On leaving were approached by a different staff member who said we hadn’t paid the bill. Very embarrassing to be sat in soaking wet clothes but to then be asked why we hadn’t paid the bill!! Shocking! My clothes, coat, bag all covered in lager! Needless to say I told him exactly why I wouldn’t be paying

We popped in here for pre -dinner drinks. There was a good choice of cocktails. However, we were expecting a stylish sort of place but we were seated outside under umbrellas which didn't have any atmosphere. My friend had a Kir Royale with champagne but she thought it had prosecco instead. I ordered a Nada Colada which tasted delicious but it was 90% ice! I finished it in 2 seconds flat and I felt quite cheated at £8.95 for a non-alcoholic drink. Bit disappointing.

The best cocktails and mocktails served by the most friendliest staff! A must visit when in Bowness. We have visited many times both as a family with children and a dog and as a couple. Service and atmosphere is always 10/10 with a wide variety of cocktails for everyone.

Went for Afternoon Tea and ended up enjoying cocktails as well. Fantastic service from Xenia and Catalin who were professional, efficient and friendly. Highly recommend if you are in Windermere and we most definitely would return.

We were well looked after by Xenia and Carla - nothing was too much and the food and drinks were amazing. Loved our bottomless hot drinks, the full English and waffles were perfect. Xenia was very friendly and helpful and made us feel at home - thank you for making it a great start to a birthday celebration- the “Birthday Shot” was delicious 😋

We visited here twice for cocktails during our stay in Bowness and couldn’t fault anything. Staff were welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. The drinks were superb and well-priced for their quality.

Lovely cocktails although a little pricy. Tray of drinks smashed right next to us, I had bare legs and didn’t ask if we were ok. Not very friendly, could had offered us a discount 😢

Over priced cocktails for what you got !! We had two cosmopolitans and I couldn’t believe you got half a glass full for £12 , compared to my pornstar . When I queried it with bar man I found him very arrogant, his reply was...

I have been before for cocktails but this time I had my dog so disappointed we were not welcomed. We asked if we could drink outside but was refused . Thier loss as we would of spent, £60 on two rounds of drinks. Only a...

Not sure my cocktail was worth the wait! We had to wait over twenty minutes after we were seated before our order was taken, and a good ten- fifteen minutes after for the drinks to arrive! This was on a weekday evening with only a...

Popped in today for breakfast. We were short on time and the food came quickly. The afternoon tea looked yummy. Will have to come back again soon

Having a few days away in Windermere after a meal what's better than I good cocktail. I love a Pina colada my favourite go to hubby had fizzy tart. Cocktails arrived I had four drinks out of mine it was a glass of ice. At...

Afternoon Tea is an absolute must…….. Every possible delicious delight As part of our stay at The Cranleigh Boutique Hotel.

Lovely little place but quite busy, and a bit loud, obviously because we visited on a Saturday. Would definitely visit again.

Came here for my birthday with my boyfriend and very glad I did, a little bit more expensive than we would have usually gone for but completely worth it as we were served all night by Xenia and she was amazing her service was impeccable...

We had afternoon tea and cocktails here as we were staying at The Cranleigh hotel and they were free with our booking. The afternoon tea was packaged up as we wanted to take it out with us to go walking. The staff were so friendly...

We arrived at the fizzy tarte for some drinks but after we had a couple we thought we would try some of the nibbles. We had ordered but wait 1 hour for pitts bread and hummus. We reminded the waitress who said “I will check...

The best cocktails I’ve ever had and friendly staff. Visited a couple of years ago and was impressed with the cocktails that upon returning to Bowness we wanted to return and it didn’t disappoint. Wished we had somewhere like this at home.

Lovely cocktails and food. Great social place for friends and couples! The waitress did not give us food menus right away and assumed we only wanted cocktails so it’s worth an ask if you’re hungry!

Absolutely amazing customer service at the Fizzy. We came here for both the nights we were staying in Bowness and from entering to leaving it was fabulous. Devoured a few bottles of champagne here and the setting and sun trap heightened the experience. Specials thanks...

Such a lovely little cocktail bar. It was the name and the overall look that intrigued us. So many lovely cocktails and drinks to choose from and it’s such a vibe.

Amazing little sun trap in a quaint location with superb service and quality. Excellent cocktail list, great wine and lively food came for lunch both days we were in Bowness.

Even in the rain the patio heaters were on and the terrace was dry and cosy. There was a warm welcome from the staff and everywhere was spotlessly clean. We had a mixed sharing board with a bread basket. The food was fresh and delicious....

Amazing to be here! I love to drink rum here. The best to be here for lovley cocktails. Amazing team and Tahnks to Izzy for amazing customer service

What a gorgeous bar! Lovely service and delicious cocktails! I ordered a Espresso Martini and it came with a macaroon. Busy on a Monday night as well. I’ll be back with more friends!!

Stopped for a cocktail and a small snack. We were offered a choice of tables. I had the signature Fizzy tarte cocktail which was 10/10. Hummus and warm pitta also a generous portion Would visit again for sure. Ignore comments about the cost of a...

Fantastic bar/food Connor and Izzy served us and it was great yet again. The afternoon tea is delicious and the cocktails are tasty too.

£15 for a cocktail ? Absolutely not . Walked out , joke of a price . I know places are struggling but that is ridiculous , this is not London!

The staff who attended my Fiancé and I on our visit for afternoon tea were absolutely wonderful. I have never met such genuine, lovely servers. You could tell they were passionate about what they were serving you, and I so appreciated the anecdotes surrounding our...

Our first visit was for a pre dinner cocktail and we were not disappointed. Freshly made and not rushed, we enjoyed our drinks while chatting to another couple and watching the world go by. Our second visit was a couple of days later to enjoy...

This is the second time we have visited for afternoon tea, the selection you get is fantastic & just love the little savoury tarts. The staff are very helpful & friendly, a must for anyone who enjoys a nice cocktail because you are spoilt for...

Nipped in here for a few birthday drinks while staying over night in Windermere, deffo my kind of place.very nice decor exactly how a small cocktail bar should be, we didn’t eat here so can’t comment on the food, however the cocktails are very good,...

We stumbled across the Fizzy Tarte in March 2022 whilst visiting Bowness. This place has a great vibe with a quirky edge making it a popular venue in the heart of Bowness. We booked an LP afternoon tea with higher expectations than we received. It...

Went with 6 friends from liverpool, not welcomed in fact didn’t want us there. Want a warm friendly welcome don’t come here.

Been many a time and always found it enjoyable. Stopped past At midday yesterday and decided to go in for a coffee to be told that because we had my 18minth old daughter with us, we had to sit outside. I was blown away. I’ve...

Visited yesterday Sunday and had a lovely breakfast here.we loved the atmosphere so much that we returned later that day for a cocktail. The only downside is the lack of space inside which can be a problem when it's so popular. The food and drink...

Walked past a few times during the week so decided to pay a visit on a quite Thursday night. Seated straight away. Thought the cocktails was a bit pricy but gave them ago. 4 drinks later and 50 quid down. It was OK. Music kept...

Been here a few times for drinks, but decided to call in for breakfast whilst passing as we noticed they served until 1pm and most other places has stopped. It was £11 for breakfast and free refills on tea and coffee. It is only a...

We had been to Low Wood for a spa day for our friends 50th and we decided we would pop down into Bowness to visit the Fizzy Tarte as we had told her how fabulous the cocktails are there . So we got there early...

Quite expensive, dog friendly but only in the outdoor terrace. There are heaters though. We were a bit disappointed as wanted a few drinks one evening with our dog but not allowed in after 7, Bowness one of the most dog friendly places we've ever...

Situated right in the centre of Bowness with really helpful and efficient staff we stopped by here for an outdoor drink. Cosy with heaters and blankets. Lovely choice of drinks served with a smile. What a super place. Recommended

Lovely place with a great atmosphere. Cocktails were delicious just thought the kids mock-tails were overpriced for what they were. Staff all nice and friendly, great location too.

Unbelievable! Cocktails were amazing and so were the staff - they couldn’t do enough for us and the atmosphere was great 😍

I can't describe how brilliant our visit to The Fizzy Tarte was - we popped into this little unassuming bar, stylishly decked out with an Insta-worthy booth in the corner. We've been to a lot of bars that were style over substance but were blown...

Best gluten free sandwich, bread very light. Atmosphere good. Staff friendly and helpful will visit again if we come to windermere again

Another lovely visit to the Fizzy Tarte! This is a regular stop when we visit Bowness. The team are friendly and welcoming each time. Drinks always tasty and never disappoint. Look forward to visiting again.

Afternoon tea at the Fizzy Tarte. Amazing! We were on our minimoon and the fizzy tarte provided an Afternoon tea that made us feel so special. It had an amazing sparkler and we got a shot too. My wife has a nut allergy and they...

I loved this place, wish I had gone more than once. It is very instagramable. The cocktails are amazing and you cant even taste the alchol. I love all the drama of making the cocktails too. I also love the menue desighn.

We stopped for a drink on our recent Visit, Cocktails for everyone in a lovely relaxing environment. The staff couldn’t,t not do enough for you and were very polite, a lovely little place and worth a visit.

Surly staff, slow service and forgot that we asked for a scone with our overpriced LP rose. Great setting but a shame that service was so poor

A lovely find: Dog friendly, central location, friendly staff and a very nice breakfast which was worth the wait whilst enjoying bottomless tea and coffee. A special added bonus was a delicious raspberry shot on the house for my birthday . Thank you very much...

We headed here one Sunday afternoon and had a couple of cocktails and beers. The cocktails were very very nice. Service from Xenia, Emanuelle and Connor was very attentive!!

We love this place until lately the amount of vaping going on is crazy, signs everywhere no smoking or vaping, completely pointless staff turned a blind eye! I remember when it first opened the owner was strict and looked after the place really well, god...

Myself and my mother came here on our date night. We were served quickly the first cocktail i wanted wasnt on the menu and i asked for it and there was no hesitation they did it, and on our second order the waiter asked if...

Really friendly staff and really tasty cocktails. Pink rose was amazing and also draft beer was nice (peroni). Only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because it was £15 a cocktail and £6 a pint! Very pricey.

Greeted by dazzling smiles! Staff helpfully adjusted chairs to accommodate our wheelchairs. Wheelchair access is good, the only spot that’s tricky is the toilets that have a couple of small steps but we could manage those as we can walk a bit. Delish coffee, daughter...

Left waiting until we had to go find someone. We were then told, in an incredibly rude manner, that afternoon tea was only by booking despite being told it was available when we arrived and being presented with the menu containing it. Rude staff and...

Treated disgusting by member of staff told that my family was to big to enter. Will never ever go back to this place

Mum, dad and granddad brought me here whilst they enjoyed coffee and cake. I got a bowl of water and a bit of a fuss from the staff. Would have loved it more if there had been a puppy menu

Was a great experience, trying there own twists on classic cocktails, they make it very good job, also Sylvia who was my server make a great job because of her I stay for.one more 😀

Loved our evening at Fizzy Tarte was more fun than we thought. Staff were great with Sylvia being the lead made the night explaining the cocktails. Great evening!

Mixed experience at the fizzy tart. One evening had a lovely evening drinking cocktails, next evening could not get served because they did not have a table for three people. Might be their licensing constraints but it was bizzate that they did not make an...

The Fizzy Tarte is our favourite bar in the South Lakes. The cocktails are to die for and the staff are amazingly friendly, it’s such a welcoming environment, with great music, gorgeous decor, and there is something for all adults, whether you prefer a tea...

Visited with my wife, very nice surroundings with lovely staff however the drinks where a big let down very watered down pornstar martini and tasteless Long Island ice tea add to that 39 quid for 4 drinks and your being had !!!

Where do I start?! Wow Love this place. I have been before … but we went yesterday for lunch and for evening drinks… The staff and absolutely incredible!!! Good looking, great customer service… amazing cocktails…. We absolutely loved it!! Thank you so much to the...

We visited on Saturday for our wedding anniversary and had the afternoon tea. It was fantastic, fresh sandwiches, really good scones and cakes. My favourite was the cheesecake !. We had a very good rosè prosecco which was included. We went on to have other...

Had the TT pornstar and TT espresso martini, both were the best I’ve had. Lovely ambience and setting and can’t wait to come back

Called for coffee and cake. Unfortunately, the only cakes were with the afternoon tea but we could have a scone with a hot drink. That was fine and they were lovely, great texture. The cappuccino was good as well

Yehia was a fantastic hostess. She was polite, funny and made great cocktail recommendations to me and my partner. Izzy and Kuba behind the bar are beverage wizards, and make a cracking cocktail! We love coming here when we visit Bowness and will definitely be...

The drinks in The Fizzy Tarte are amazing. Generally I’m not keen on cocktails because they’re too sweet. However, the team at fizzy couldn’t do enough to help me choose the right drink and even ‘sour up’ an existing drink. Sylvia was helping us and...

We visited for Afternoon Tea to celebrate our wedding anniversary- and can’t recommend it highly enough. The tea was delicious - served in China teapot and traditional cups. Sylvia our server was so friendly, helpful and keen to please. The sandwiches were delicious, and the...

Recently had a delicious afternoon tea at the fizzy tart. Food was lovely however I have knocked a star off for the actual tea. You get one small cup each which is not enough with all the excellent cakes on offer. I requested more &...
