The Huntsman Inn in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

A great place for lunch. Often special offers. Today we had fish and chips but a week or so back we had their afternoon tea. Great value, fresh produce and friendly staff.

Den bedste beer battered fish & chips, jeg har fået længe ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - dog alt for meget mad, så jeg måtte desværre levne. Min mand fik fasanbryst. Det var også helt i top. Der stod lukket på Tripadvisor, men det var en fejl, for selvfølgelig var der åbent, og det var vi glade for. Tak for lækker mad og meget venlig og hurtig service. 😃

Booked a table for 4 yesterday evening and the whole experience was lovely. The food was delicious! We had the seafood platter to share with new potatoes which was amazing, so many prawns and smoked salmon. The other couple had fish and chips and they were very happy with that too. The deserts were equally delicious. No custard on the menu but the chef made some for me, lashings of it, as requested for my sticky toffee pudding. The best I’ve ever had. Must also mention the waitress who was lovely and very helpful as was the Australian barman ! Thank you for a lovely evening 😊

Stopped for a coffee and a chat with friends. Cappuccino arrived and was tepid at best and had no frothy top - was just a coffee with milk. Took back and said it was cool and they tipped it in the milk froth jug and warmed it then just popped back in cup. Very disappointed. If they can’t get a simple coffee correct………….

Visited with friends for an evening meal. My friend ordered a starter which wasn’t great. We all had fish & chips which was over cooked & the fish looked like like it was frozen. The quality was poor considering the price. This must have been one of the worst meals I have had in a while. Terrible

The food was diabolical the staff were very rude obnoxious and the chef thought he could cook the manageress did not have any customer service manners whatsoever. I worked in the hospitality industry for many years and you do not tell customers to leave.

We visited here after a spa day nearby for my wife’s 40th. We initially called the Masons Arms at Strawberry Bank to see if they were serving food. We were told they were, but after driving there we were told head office had advised us incorrectly so we visited here instead, and it was great. We sat in the back garden, which I had never seen before, and it is a great location, especially on a sunny day. I had the pie of the day which was beef and rosemary and my wife had the chicken burger. Both were really good, a little overpriced but would definitely go back.

For as many years as i can remember we have always visited the huntsman on Christmas eve after a walk for some festive beers, food and a sit around the fire. Over these years we have always enjoyed our visit hense the re return. This year we ordered two portions of chips at £5 a go, sadly these chips arrived in a silver tin the size you would imagine as a side to a sandwich. For the price and past experience we were shocked, mentioning it to staff man no difference. Especially today when we have just paid £2.50 for a side of chips that contained twice as many. Times are hard but that's embarrassing. we always preferring the huntsman because of its cosy inviting feel and reasonable menu but next year we may have to rethink

The Huntsman Inn is situated in the Newby Bridge Hotel, its used by the casual / local cliental as well as residents of the hotel that want to make use of this facility or if they wish to have their pets with them, as we did. Staff were very friendly and helpful and the food was very good as was the choice of drinks.

Decided to stop for some lunch at the huntsman’s inn. We were not disappointed , had soup and a sandwich. The presentation was so nice , the soup was home made and delicious. My sandwich had a thick piece of ham again I would say was home cooked. My partner had cheese and pickle which he said was perfect. We had salad and Cole slaw the salad had a very nice dressing on it and the coleslaw was home made. We also had a portion of chips , they were proper chips. So a very nice meal. The bar had a good atmosphere , the people being friendly. The young lady that served us was busy she did everything , she served in the bar took the orders and served us with the food , she made sure everyone was happy and satisfied. Very very happy with the service and everything about our visit, will be back again

We visited this venue this eve purely because it was the only venue near to where we were staying and meant we could have a drink . Although the prices were off putting we thought it would be nice to have a nice meal in nice surroundings. Upon arrival in the venue we initially had to send one of the drinks back as it was totally flat . The premises were virtually empty . We ordered our food and after a long wait , we’re finally presented with five meals . At almost £16 for pie and chips I guess we were expecting something spectacular but we’re bitterly disappointed. Then came the gluten free burger . The bun was that hard it seemed like it was made of concrete then we cut into the burger and it was raw ! We had to return the meal which spoilt the evening . The atmosphere in the pub was totally flat and it was clear none of the staff wanted to be here , no one smiled and we felt like an inconvenience. Sadly don’t think we would be tempted to return

Very disappointed in this over priced pub/hotel On entry the person behind the bar wasn’t very competent, and didn’t know what do do when told the draft cider was flat… food wasn’t great my gluten free burger was totally raw and the bun microwaved for so long it was solid.. it was that offensive to me I couldn’t bring myself to eat an alternative meal… the others meals weren’t brilliant but passable for a cafe, the desserts ordered where Tesco specials with the wrap still round them.. I wouldn’t recommend this venue, if your driving look for somewhere else that has better reviews, we will next time

The "so called" pie of the day was a casserole of tinned soup with bits floating in in it & a burnt pastry lid on top. The peas had been "over-microwaved" & were dry & un-edible & cost £15.95! The burger was RAW in the middle & the bun was hard (had obviously been microwaved too much). The customer care skills of the staff were poor. I'd come in here for a drink again, but never to eat again. We were all disappointed....

We booked a table for 5 at this dog friendly place. Good car parking, very welcoming and the staff spot on. Very clean an Covid secure. A good menu, and the quality of our food was spot on. Service very good and drinks prices as good as anywhere. Dog friendly which is spot on, they even provided a dog water bowl for our sons dog. All in all excellent. Our son and wife stopped in the hotel and was really chuffed with their room and breakfast Nice grounds to!

We have just purchased a lodge near Newby Bridge and only got our keys yesterday so tried various places to eat but either you had to stay at their hotel or it was full. So 3rd time lucky stopped to see if they would serve us and whew one table left. Lovely feel to this pub, decor very country and food was delicious. We even go chatting to a lovely couple from Dublin. Definitely will go back.

Food okay but nothing you couldn’t get cheaper elsewhere. Waiting staff needed customer service training

Booked in advance to eat at the Newby Bridge Hotel . When we arrived we were greeted by friendly bar staff in the Huntsman, we were offered either to sit in the bar or restaurant and could choose from either menus. We decided to eat in the restaurant because it was very busy in the bar, food was lovely and thoroughly enjoyed our evening. All staff friendly and would definitely recommend. Lovely pretty outside area from the restaurant to sit and enjoy a drink.

Visited this pub restaurant attached to the Newby Bridge Hotel as other better rated places were fully booked. Arrived to an almost empty venue, so didn’t expect great things. On arrival we found the bar unmanned and saw others turn up and simply walk out because there was no one to greet them. The service overall was erratic with a slightly awkward server not quite in control of the process. A neighbouring table had to wait a good half hour for their food before being told an error in the ordering process meant the order had not gone through. The good news however is that the food itself was actually pretty good. The gammon was well cooked and came with a fried egg and pineapple in the trad way although the chips were a little bland and dry. The sandwiches were okay too. We had desserts, which unfortunately were a bit meh, especially the sticky toffee pudding which seemed to be a shop bought version - which is pretty inexcusable given that the pudding comes from the lakes area! Our main gripe though was the price - although the portions were pretty good the meal seemed overpriced, especially the desserts which were not good value for what they were. I think we might come again, but only if the service and food quality was made a bit more consistent and the prices kept a little more reasonable given the offering involved.

Better update your website. On 15th July we tried to buy a meal and drink . Only open to residents, despite website stating the opposite. Not a great advert for those visiting on a day basis. Our custom went to a friendly Anglers Arms pub...

Ordered chicken,mash and vedge, chicken was tough and the mash was INSTANT SMASH!!! Latte was like a cup of mud,was replaced but second cup was not much different.

Love this bar! Fantastic real fire, great staff and service, reasonably priced food and drinks and a great place to drop in for a drink or a spot of lunch if you are in the area. Covid safe without losing the atmosphere! Love it

Went there for dinner with my husband. He ordered meat pie. This literally was just meat with gravy pored over it and a pastry lid put on top of dish. We did mention this to the receptionist on paying but they did not seem interested.

We did not stay at the hotel although would consider staying if visiting the area again. My husband and I visited this hotel for dinner only, the food was exceptional. The restaurant staff were attentive and helpful. Shame about the attitude of the hotel receptionist,...

Had breakfast very average, thought overpriced @ £15.00 pp service was rushed, dinning room rather drab

Well run little bar with friendly staff if you did not want to sit in doors you could cross the car park to a nice grassy area with big stone tables and seats the staff would bring your drinks or food out to you, well...

The Huntsmans Inn is part of the Newby Bridge Hotel. We didn't stay at the hotel, but visited the Inn for a late lunch. There was a warming log fire burning, with comfortable seating and tables. There's a reasonable bar menu at reasonable prices, with...

Food was nice. Varied menu. Not too pompous compared to restaurant. Staff are lovely. We moved from eating at the tables to sit in front of fire which was nice. Double whiskey was £7. Half strong love dark fruits £2

Very nice, cosy, friendly, good food. Dog friendly. Lovely log fires. Could do other a bit of a paint but did not put me off.

Called in yesterday for a late lunch, took ages to even order drinks from the bar, very short of staff, went back to order food had to wait 20 mins at the bar to order food. When the sandwich came the fries were cold that...

Relaxing , fab veggie curry red lentil daal with the huge fat chips, not rice.Dogs welcome too . Great that food is served all day too.

This was our meeting place after a long drive up from Kent. The pub itself is a little dated. The tables are a bit sticky and the chairs are not as strong as they once were. The chairs rock back and forth with little effort...

Lovely, lovely staff but food pretty awful (curry) and a massive coach blocking the view from the beer garden, sorry, really wanted to like this place after running away from The Swan

Old tired scruffy bar. Tables sticky from previous drinks not a nice place. Staff were nice though. This is where guests with dogs at the hotel have to eat their meals. Shame because restaurant looked nice

Very traditional if dated and scruffy. Serves bar meals - just the norm of pies, fish and chips etc. Average but decent food, prices ok - better if you use- Taste Card. Not a foodie destination.

We stopped here as we traveled south down Windermere from Bowness on a Wednesday. Bowness was very busy and parking was a problem, so we chose to fins somewhere else to eat.The Huntsman was surprisingly quiet, but we got good service, from a friendly efficient lady. The sandwiches we ordered were very good, and we sat outside in the sun with a view back up the Lake. A good place to stop over and relax.

Probamos esto en las críticas de TA, decepcionante. Los precios de las bebidas son promedio, los menús se ven bien pero la presentación real fue muy pobre. Porciones pequeñas. (y nota que no me gusta un plato grande) la tarta del día era abismal, un refrito de carne. Ambos caballeros tenían esto. El curry del día, coco de pollo era sabroso y gustó (por las damas). Sin embargo, lo que decepcionó fue un servicio lento y, sobre todo, la presentación de la comida en el plato. Realmente mi hijo de 6 años podría haber hecho un mejor trabajo. Agradable bar y ambiente, Restaurent se veía bien, pero me pregunto si están preparados para viajes grandes en autocar y no para individuos. Rango de precios refleja comidas de presupuesto en lugar de rango medio.

Bar area is old fashioned, lots of wood flooring and panelling and mismatched chairs ( which could do with re-upholstering )

Mi novio y yo nos detuvimos para tomar el té el sábado por la noche, nos hemos alojado en el hotel y antes y hemos comido aquí, siempre saludaba a mis dos amables bares ¡El personal masculino!

Stopped for lunch, good selection of ales, wine and food. Beautifully decorated, dog friendly and laid back bar. The food was good, the drinks pleasant. The service was excellent, the staff friendly. The only gripe for me was not enough staff. The barman was very busy. Top place.

Just left this place. Was the last evening of our week long holiday so gutted to have had such a terrible evening. Waited nearly an hour for food to arrive with no apology or explanation from the waiter. We’re a family with youngsters that needed to get to bed. We were about to leave when the food eventually came.

Friendly bar attached to newby bridge hotel. Good food, friendly staff. Relaxed atmosphere. Violet gin very enjoyable

Encontramos el Huntsman Inn por accidente después de un ataque a caballo en medio de una tormenta. El cálido fuego de leña, la increíble selección de cervezas y el fantástico menú rápidamente nos devolvieron la vida. El personal era muy amable y ofrecía consejos útiles sobre nuestras opciones de comida. ¡Habiendo tropezado con este bar por casualidad, ahora haremos todo lo posible para visitarlo de nuevo!

Every meal we had at the huntsman was lovely. Quite simple just good food none of the fussy extras that some places put on your plate and no one ever eats.

Stayed at Newby Bridge hotel last night ate at the pub and food was delicious atmosphere was nice and relaxed staff very helpful would recommend

This inn was part of hotel we stayed at over Christmas break, lovely log fire, great service from bar staff, good choice of drinks and bar menu. Christmas decorations lovely, very welcoming inn.

In the corner of a very busy junction Nice service good food pleasant Dealt with food allergies easily No major issues

¡Acabábamos de tener un largo viaje en automóvil desde donde vivimos y estábamos hambrientos! Vimos esta pequeña posada junto a un enorme hotel. Pedimos la tarta del día, que era carne y verduras, y la otra mitad pedimos una hamburguesa de carne casera de Newby Bridge. Ambos eran muy sabrosos, la carne era como la mantequilla. Realmente disfrutamos de las comidas y definitivamente regresaremos mientras estamos en el área para el fin de semana!

Matig eten, matige bediening. Jammer want de locatie is prima; ze doen weinig om een leuke prettige sfeer te creëren.

This concerns the Huntsman Inn bar attached to the hotel, not the hotel restaurant.

We drove out to Newby Bridge without prior research, thinking it was a town. Oops. After a false start at a very overpriced hotel, we went to The Huntsman Inn for lunch. We both chose scampi and chips from the specials board. It was very quiet, we had plenty of space to choose where to sit, so picked a table which could seat four which had a lovely view. Husband enjoyed his ale. The food arrived in good time. I admit to being slightly disappointed by the presentation. A teeny salad garnish and lemon wedge would have been nice. But the scampi was tasty, great tartar sauce, nice chips - luckily I like crunchy. Very relaxed atmosphere and helpful staff. I'd paid after ordering, frankly if the server had offered a desert menu we may well have chosen something. Note to self - leave the tab open.

Lovely meal 11 of us booked at 6pm on a weekday and although very busy our table was well looked after. maybe a little quicker between starters but all in all a good meal reasonably priced.

We had arrived at the Huntsman Inn after a excellent day at Cartmel Races, firstly ordering our food the waiter then came back out and told us that there was no steak pie after 3 members of our party had ordered this, they then had to change their order to the curry. Our drinks had arrived and 5 diet cokes were ordered unfortunately these had to be sent back due to the lack of cola syrup resulted in a glass of coloured, carbonated water at a inflated price. Then the waiter returned to inform us that there was no rice for the curries, rice a staple accompaniment that a food establishment runs out of I find this confusing. A hour and a half later our meals arrived unfortunately the majority of the meals were not correct, the steak which has been asked for with salad came with vegetables, the curry’s that had no rice then came with French fries when chunky chips were asked for. The fish and chips then came without a portion of gravy which was asked for then waiter then came back and asked if everything was okay we then mentioned about the gravy the member of our party had not received and had to then eat her meal without due to no staff being around then after complaining twice about the gravy, after we had finished our meal the waiter then came back over and asked if we had received the portion of gravy in which we then had said no and we had finished our meal now and there was no apologies from the staff.

We returned and both had the fish and chips. The fish was cooked beautifully and the meal good. We chose to sit outside and the meal was brought to us quite quickly. Staff were friendly. Good value for well prepared bar food.

Delicious food, well cooked and attractively served. Highly recommended. Nice garden with view of Lake Windermere.

I am a young teenage girl and I came here with my family for the first time a few days ago. The food was great, I would give them credit for that, but the service was very poor and we were stuck in the restaurant for hours, waiting for our meal. The staff mixed up our orders and gave us the wrong meal, despite our care in ordering. Please do not fall into the same trap as we did...

Hunting regalia is enough to put any decent person off. Cheaper than its neighbour, but service painfully slow

Ate here last weekend, we both ordered the smoked salmon sandwiches and a pint. The food was delicious and were quite happy to bring it to us outside. Will definitely return as it is on a route we regularly travel. 25% off as well by using my Gourmet card.

We came here for a family dinner when staying in the area on holiday. We didnt book and while the pub (which is part of the Newby Brdige Hotel) was busy, we got a table without waiting. The atmosphere and ambience was good and we felt at home. Even he background music was pleasant.

First visited a month ago when were welcomed by a lovely gentleman.

Called in on the way home from a day in the Lakes. Quaint Olde Worlde feel to the bar, but could do with a refurb as looking a little tired now. Just needs some TLC to make it more welcoming and cosy as the food was pleasantly good and well presented for bar food and served by friendly staff. The bar area was full so ate in the adjoining room which didn't really have any atmosphere. Price wise possibly a little on the high side for fish and chips?? Room for improvement with the décor.

It has to be said I have been coming here since I was 15 and I'm 60 now.In my opinion there is nowhere better for being dog friendly from entering to see their beautiful resident Yorkie which belongs to a member of staff and is extremely friendly to the beautiful stayed of a gundog by the door you just know you and your furry friend is more than welcome.The food is exceptional you have to try the chips and onion rings never mind the size of portions.the steaks and sandwiches are first class as are the salads and the dressing on it is second to none.i have tasted the best ever lemon meringue here in the world so much I asked to meet the chef!ease of parking rooms exceptional pool relaxing with jacuzzi .spoil yourself for a bit of relaxation and peace.wonderful grounds surround this jewel in newby bridge .

Staying at the Newby inn hotel for a couple of nights. Went into the huntsman inn for meal and wasn’t disappointed, earlier we had sandwiches for lunch, fresh and delicious then a bar meal later, the steak and ale pie was to die for, lasagna was also good and very well presented. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I’d recommend giving it a try.

We have just got home from a four night stay at the above hotel. We had a wonderful time, the hotel was beautifully decorated for Christmas, the room was lovely and clean and very comfortable. The food was just amazing and the pool, Jacuzzi and menthol steam room were beautifully kept. To top all that the staff in every area were helpful and extremely sociable. Can't fault it and will definitely go again. Thank you everyone.

Cosy and warm inn but average food and expensively priced for the quality of the meal. Quick service and friendly. Local lakes ale very bitter.

Dropped in to this pub for a bar meal and the food was delush I had soup of the day (which was broccoli )my husband had a black pudding scotch egg followed by chicken with mash potatoes and I had wild mushroom and gnocchi ( sooo tasty) no room left for pudding. I would go back here next time I visit the area.

Went into the Huntsman bar on our first night at the Newby Bridge Hotel. Good quality meal comprising mains and puddings. Hot drinks available at the bar. Good standard of service.

Visited for an evening meal when staying nearby, good selection of food, will cooked and tasted good. Friendly staff and good atmosphere.

We ate in the bar side of the pub here last night . We ordered 2 drinks and 2 main course chicken Caesar salads and a portion of fries . At a cost nearing £30 the food which arrived was poor , the salad was so cold it was unpleasant on the palate, was dripping in dressing and was too salty to taste and is generally of poor quality. We did make our views known to staff as we left , who said she was sorry !This place is best avoided if you enjoy reasonable food , the price far exceeds any quality you would expect for this price , look elsewhere.

We ate at the bar, as the restaurant menu didn't appeal. - very little choice.All 3 of us had the cod and chips, and coudn't fault it. Good crispy batter, moist thick cod fillet, and well-cooked chips.They stock a good range of drinks, with some good guest beers for those who like trying different styles of beer.Excellent, attentive service.Car park gets full quickly if there's a function on.

The service was great and the manager was extremely helpful. There wasn't a huge variety of choice for a meal but what we chose was great. Everything was very clean and tidy and the food was served promptly.Overall, we had an enjoyable evening.

Great service. Menu is a little bit limited but still satisfactory. Food was good without being top class.

well while out for a drive in the lakes our journey took us to newby bridge,saw a hotel advertising sunday carvery so we pulled in ,and we were not dissapointed the staff are fantastic couldnt have been more helpfull,the three course carvery we had was fantastic,we will be back,and the surroundings are outstandiingits a big plus from us thanks again.

The barman was lovely and made great drinks. He deserves a payrise! The place does need TLC and the games area needs improving. Some music in there at least. Food was lovely!

We were looking for somewhere to have lunch whilst on an assignment. Looking for good quality home cooked food really that would keep us going into the evening. There was quite a selection to choose from here including sandwiches etc. We opted for two main meals of a burger & fries and fish n chips. The burger tasted good - looked home made. The fish was cooked perfectly in crispy beer batter served with proper chips and the portion size was fine. I had asked for bread - but no bread arrived with the meal. The tea and coffee were fine - served promptly before the food arrived. We didn't have to wait too long for our food. The service was good (polite member of staff), though it seemed like they could have done with an extra member of staff near the bar ready to greet customers or take food orders as one guy seemed to be doing everything. The bar was 'unmanned' for a time. The price of the food was a few pounds more than what you would probably normally pay for the same elsewhere, but I put that down to it being the Lake District as the prices in another restaurant close by to the Huntsman were even more costly. There was a little dog doing the rounds picking up whatever had fallen on the carpet from guests, so this seems to be a dog friendly pub (we asked about this in case we were visiting again and were bringing our own dog).

Visited early as a family....waited for nearly an hour for food. Very ordinary bar meals. £12.95 for poor quality scampi straight from the freezer with frozen chips ! Waiter rushed off his feet,and lots of diners complaining. Checked our order twice, but still came out wrong !

We were hungry and ate some food. Meh.. nothing to write home about. Soup for starters- large portion but mediocre taste. Tagliatelle for main - again satisfactory. Staff were pleasant.

This is a nice bar, lots of chairs and tables, some comfortable seating, an open fire and a decent stocked bar. The barman is excellent and really friendly. We had a lunch meal here too which was well presented and good value for money. The sandwiches are very nice and the cream tea lovely.We had an evening meal here also. Good value for money pub grub really. No complaints.

Had an evening meal here. Food was fabulous and the service was great. Really friendly and helpful staff, a lovely open fire and a cosy atmosphere.

We called in here for food and drinks tonight. Service was great but only one person on trying to be waiter and serve drinks too. However his service was great and friendly. Food was nice too, I've given the average rating as I found the choice on the menu to be very limited, and also the portion sizes were very poor, almost child size. This would be acceptable for a chain pub selling buy one get one free meals, not for a place that charges top prices for their food though.

Called in last Saturday, early evening. Had bolognese with garlic bread and scampi and chips. Both red hot and large portions on our table 20 minutes from placing the order.The decor was old, but then so is the pub ! It could have done with a bit of a spruce up and our table had not been wiped down after the last customer which was pretty bad.Lots of restaurant choices in the area and this was an ok bar.

Visited for dinner. Traditional bar food in a pub setting - wooden pannelling decor a bit tired. Gammon was very good with 2 eggs chips peas and relish for 12.95. Pudding was very disappointing. Only 3 choices. Went for strawberries and cream. Terrible value. 2 spoons of cream and 2 small strawberries diced! More cream and strawberries. Cost 5.95!

Waited over an hour for our food with 2 young children, the food was over priced. When it finally arrived it was ok but not worth the cost or wait. Always a long queue at the bar as only 1 barman, he was very helpful & friendly but clearly needs more staff. Would not return here, a real disappointment & from talking to others in the bar they were very much of a similar opinion.

Had an evening meal here. Great food and good service too. Had the battered haddock and hand cut chips followed by lemon torte with chantilly cream. Highly recommended.

The pub grub offered is no different from anywhere else and if using a number of times never really changes . The fish and chips had batter that was too greasy although the salad was okay for my wife.

We were visiting the area and decided to try the Sunday Carvary at this hotel. The setting is nice and the staff were friendly. There was a choice of three meat's all of which were tasty. However, roast potatoes were poor, there was only a choice of another two veg - carrots and cauliflower cheese (cauliflower cheese was watery and tasteless) . The starters were an odd choice of cold buffet dishes. We did however enjoy the puddings. Last year we eat at the swan and had delicious Sunday lunch but felt it was expensive, however on reflection I would have rather spent more and enjoyed my meal

So we visited here on the way back from ulverston. The bar staff were friendly when we eventually got served. We were not given a menu but told to pick it up on the way to the dining area. We were hoping for a starter but there were none on the menu , we ordered at the bar. We were later shocked to see residents of the hotel next door given a separate menu, starters included , bread on the table and waiter service ! This is what we would have liked but it was only for the hotel residents:The food was average, hence the rating, we left hungry , very small portions. Nice traditional decor, would never go back though :/

This pub is connected to the Newby bridge hotel... The food/staff n service is fantastic... N not expensive...

The bar meals here are great, good choose like fish & chips gammon & steak burger which a lovely and there is plenty to eat. All wash down a great pint

I visited with my family during a 5 day visit to the lake district. We had an evening meal at this pub. I had a dish called the fishermans, which consists of 3 small bowls of whelks, prawns and smoked salmon, also included was a roll mop and small salad and a small roll. At £13.00 I expected more. My wife had a gammon that was nothing special and looked very fatty. The children's meals were what you would expect, but their deserts were described as mini, and they were true to their word..2 spoonfuls and there gone!! Wouldn't return and a shame as a beautiful location.

Popped in for a drink on Sunday evening. Tables set out as for restaurant so no really suitable for groups going out for drinks. Seems dark and gloomy when going in. Would not recommend.

We stayed next door at Newby Bridge Hotel so enjoyed spending time in there in the evenings although we didn't eat there as we were eating at the hotel the food looked amazing huge portions ..very friendly place with well stocked bar

We were staying at the Newby Bridge Hotel next door and fancied some lunch. Thought we would try out the food here and see what it was like. I ordered the fish finger and tartar sauce sandwich that came with chunky chips and side salad, it was only £6.95 and it was gorgeous! Menu didn't say it came with chips so I was very pleasantly surprised when I got a plate full of chunky chips to go with it and for only £6.95! Couldn't eat all of it, but it was fab! My partner ordered fish and chips at £9.95. Again the food was lovely, big fish and had no bones, came with chunky chips and tartar sauce with side salad. Would definitely return here for food, the quality of the food and the portion sizes for the price were great! Young lady who served us was so friendly. Just a shame about the hotel next door, it's not very hygienic in the rooms

We visited the huntsman aware of some of the negative reviews, but I must say we were pleasantly surprised. The food and service were pretty good and atmosphere pleasant and welcoming. I would definitely recommend a visit here, a reasonable gastro-pub for a reasonable price!

We stopped here on our way home from a holiday, 8 people in total (4 adults & 4 kids)They accommodated the 8 of us no problem by pulling 2 tables together.Menu was nice & kids menu was good, our waitress was very attentive, fast service in pleasant surroundings!Food was very nice, adults all had fish & chips, the chips were the chunkiest we had seen! Kids enjoyed a variety, from mini fish & chips to spaghetti bologneise, fish finger butty & cheesy beans on toast!Fairly priced & not rushed at all!The bathroom was lovely as well & the fresh flowers in there was a lovely touch

After a very wet walk in the hills nearby we were driving past looking for a coffee stop but decided to stay for lunch. They easily accommodated our group of 7 and were well set up for separate payment at the end. A good choice of food from soup to sandwiches up to larger lunches like burgers or fish n chips. We all found something, and everyone said it was good. Happily eat here again.

We were a large party who had booked and given our order in advance as requested by the manager. On arriving it took over an hour to serve the food. Unfortunately one meal was not served and although the waitress had looked around with a plated meal she failed to ask who had not been served and left. It was only after bringing this to the attention of the bar manager that the meal was served but everyone else had finished their meals. When this was addressed at the bar the manager was very rude and said that at least everyone had had a nice evening and were laughing. Not really the point considering the lengths we had gone to in the first place. He also insisted in charging for the meal and did not even apologise for the inconvenience. A shame that the food was only average. I Doubt we wiil be visiting again.
