The Inn at Ravenglass in Copeland

Booked for a meal after a recommendation from the caravan site warden who said he'd had the best roast dinner here. We went on Saturday evening and were not disappointed. The food was so good, plenty of flavour, freshly cooked and decent portion size. Good service and friendly staff. Definitely recommend.

What a great find! A big thank you to Jo for squeezing us in this week. We absolutely loved the food. I will be dreaming of the fish chowder! Excellent service. Hope to come back.

Been here many times before but had a couple of meals here this time. Absolutely outstanding here. I am very much a fish lover and I had the pork starter and chowder main course first time round. Only criticism was the sparseness of this starter which would have been better presented with a small serving of veg or dressed salad on the side. Very tasty though and the Chowder very filling. Second time round I went for the Hake special with prawns. At £30, I thought gosh you cannot take it with you, the money! This fish was the largest portion I’ve ever had, other places being very skimpy with their servings. It was absolutely wonderful and it’s making me hungry thinking about it! I highly recommend this place for the food, atmosphere and great selection of drinks and ales. If you are lucky, you might get a great sunset but the sea views from here are always spectacular

A simple setting but excellent food. Friendly and welcoming locals. We had the vegetarian bolognaise, sea bass and chicken skewers, all delicious. Would recommend.

Have eaten here before -this time we had the Sunday lunch served on the evening but nonetheless freshly cooked & really good-lean meat, 7 vegetables, huge Yorkshire pudding-all really well seasoned & all of my party thoroughly enjoyed it.its a really friendly pub with a great ambience & fabulous views over the sea.

Great service! A lovely welcome and cheerful, friendly service! Food was good and reasonably priced, and a good range of beers as well. Keep it up, you’re doing a great job!

The team are very engaging and looked after us well. This is a dog friendly pub the views are fantastic. The beer is excellent.

We were staying at Ravenglass for the evening and decided to book here from the reviews. Menu wasn’t great, food wasn’t bad but lacking for the price you pay for it. Drinks over priced. Lots of locals in constantly loudly moaning about ‘tourists’ this Bar is worth sitting out front for an overpriced drink in the sun but that’s about it. Don’t waste a visit here try somewhere more welcoming… unless your a local that is

Such an amazing spot. Went with my partner, he had the king scallops for starter, sea bream for mains and cheesecake for dessert. I had the seafood chowder. All of the food was delicious, well cooked and served in good time. The chowder was filling and a very good portion. He loved the Sea bream and would 100% choose it again. The chef has a great eye for plating food also. The staff were attentive and chatty. They helped us choose from a great selection of local ales, and good choice of gin for me too. We really enjoyed it and would recommend it to anyone visiting the area. Thanks guys!

Five of us went out for sunday lunch, the server produced 5 stone cold sunday lunches that were not worty of being served as a school dinner. Must have either been dumb or purposely served cold. It isnt difficult to check that the plates are warm! Male staff member on the bar tried to short change me £10 after buying a drink and also the scottish bar maid serves pints of ale knowing that the barrel is off. 3/10

Great little pub, extremely friendly staff and fantastic food.could easily have eaten there every day of our trip. A must visit in Ravensglass.

Popped in with my partner and the dog as we are staying nearby. Had 2 burgers and a couple drinks very reasonably priced I’d say. The staff were super friendly and I must say as a chef working in some top places this has to be one of the best burgers I’ve had in a very long time. Would 100% recommend this place for a bite and a beer. The views are also to die for

Food was of a high standard and very enjoyable. Very good range of Ales . Dog Friendly , we had a very pleasant experience. Highly recommend

We went to this pub a couple of years ago, and we liked it so much we took our friends to it when we were away for another weekend break. The place is totally unassuming, the staff lovely and accommodating. Roaring fire and we sat looking at the sea through the window… now for the best bit …… THE FOOD… absolutely fantastic… it’s a fine tuned menu… lots of beautiful seafood , and the Sunday lunches were amazing. Between four of us we ate king scallops, Cullen skink, seafood chowder, a belly pork Sunday lunch and a lamb one. The BEST food we have eaten in a long time…. Thanks for a lovely afternoon. Finally, ravens glass is a teeny , beautiful village on the estuary

Spent a great weekend here staying in the top floor suite, fabulous views across the estuary. Lovely clean room, huge bathroom, very quiet even when the pub was busy. Had great food in the bar, served by friendly staff who looked after us. One small niggle, we had no control over the heating, we had to call the Pennington both nights to get them to switch it on for us, no info on hand regarding this, good job we asked!. Will definitely stay here again, thankyou

What a great place ! I had butterbean hummus followed by sea bream with samphire and caper buerre. My partner had scallops followed by puy lentil bolognaise. All dishes were delicious. The fish was of excellent quality, with well judged cooking and flavour combinations. All this and a view of the sea - what more do you need ? 😊

Went with friends for lunch. The menu was not the one we had seen on the internet and the bar man said he had seen it but didn't know who had put in on. There was a choice of about 5 dishes all of which had some very bizarre combinations and were very over priced. We asked if they did sandwiches, soup, jacket potatoes etc and were told no, because they specialised in fish - on re visiting the menu we saw there was 1 fish dish. We left and had a very nice lunch at the Kellbank in Gosforth ( and we didn't choose the sandwiches, soup or jacket potatoes.) Such a waste because it is in a beautiful setting - but , not surprisingly, the place was empty.

A great little pub right on the river with excellent background music. There's a really good selection of Scottish ales and fabulous food. The tuna salad was fantastic and I'd have gone back the next night and eaten it again it was that good!! Well worth a visit.

This inn is a gem. Located on the seafront, you can watch the sunset while enjoying a delicious meal or drink. The staff is warm and genuine. We will not forget my time there :)

Excellent quality food. We have eaten twice now. One Sunday lunch and one evening meal. Both we could not fault. Not the cheapest but the quality was excellent so well worth it. The staff were extremely friendly. Only a small menu but there were specials, these were dependent on the local produce. Hope to visit again before the end of our holiday

The menu is quite limited. We had Sea Bream and Tuna Salad. Both were well prepared and nicely presented. However they were both £24 each which seemed expensive for what they were, and we were both hungry afterwards. We could have ordered chips at £4 a serving. Deserts were good and more reasonable at £7.50. Overall 4 stars not 5 stars.

On Saturday we phoned and booked a meal for two on Tuesday. We were unsuccessful trying to find a menu but the photographs on Trip Advisor looked delicious. The gentleman who took the booking didn’t ask for any details apart from name. We arrived just before 7pm, after driving 10miles from our accommodation and were told that there “was no kitchen today. We couldn’t phone you as we had no number”. Ravenglass is only small and there’s not a lot of choice, especially at the last minute. We were told of 2 places. One was full, but we told them what had happened with the booking, and they tried to squeeze us in. We had to wait 1.5hrs but eventually had a meal. The situation reflects badly on The Inn at Ravenglass.

The food was absolutely stunning in this lovely village pub. We booked for 4 for dinner and the pub was very busy with a warm and friendly atmosphere. The staff were really welcoming and service was quick. Good beers and wine. I had the sea bream with caper butter and new potatoes and it was absolutely delicious. Perfectly crispy skin and tender, tasty fish. Hubby also had perfectly cooked fish with the plaice dish. Our veggie was very happy with her starter and main and the final member of our group had a burger that was a huge portion and really tasty. We would definitely recommend but would also say you should book in advance or risk disappointment as it is clearly a very popular spot and rightly so. We would love to visit again. Thank you for a fab evening.

I have genuinely not enjoyed a pub meal this much for a long time. Small menu with a few specials but everything was delicious and cooked perfectly. Lovely staff. Great view. It’s not fancy but who needs more than great food and happy people? Skate and chips special was outstanding and the bouillabaisse was too

Wanted to go here last time I was in the area, but it was closed on the Wednesday when we were there. Went in Saturday night to book for Sunday evening. Wasn’t disappointed. Lovely cosy pub with friendly staff. We both had the sea bream with new potatoes, charred asparagus and samphire in a butter caper sauce. Delicious and well worth the money. Lovely Crag ale to drink went lovely with meal. Recommend highly ☺️

Unassuming pub in a village that's off the beaten track but food, drink and welcome were exceptional. A short menu made choices easier: I went for the bouillabaisse (delicious sauce) and my wife chose a special, sea bream. Both were first class. Friendly and unstuffy service. We will be back.

Wonderful food great service the inn is a treasure , the menu is small but my it all fabulous well presented food, good selection off beers and wine

We have looked forward to dining at the Inn for a while, now we have it’s been an absolute joy. It’s our wedding anniversary and it was fitting to dine here. Both of us had the Bouillabaisse and it was Devine. Brilliant team and thanks to Pete and his team for looking after us again. Well done from us both 👍

Dinner for 2 was superb, returned a week later for lunch as a 4 again superb, there is a very ,very, god chef here...don't be put off by the exterior, go in you will be welcomed, notice the specials board on your right, there is...

Have eaten at the Inn a few times now and it's fair to say that the food is not the cheapest. However, this is not your typical pub grub but instead the meals are far more specialist and use fresh ingredients. The portions are generous,...

great spot looking over the estuary, had a relaxed couple of drinks while the kids played and we waited for our table. The food was exceptional! Totally blew us away and all agreed some of the best food we've eaten for some time. Congratulations to...

Unpretentious restaurant with very friendly staff, very simple seating but don’t be put off as the food is excellent and far superior to the Pennington Hotel. Seafood is particularly good and they also offer a good selection of ales.

Great place, visited on a sunny day on half-term Saturday and there was plenty of space, quick service and great view at a table by the window overlooking the water. Awesome burger and fries, like really good. Wife had chicken shawarma which was also good....

Very good food, took a while to be served but very much worth it. Only problems are a very small amount of options for food, and they're very expensive. But if you can afford it and are fine to spend that kind of money, then...

Don't be put off by the rather 'used' look of the place - the food is excellent. We had two vegetarian starters (falafel and hummus) and chips but that can't do justice to what we actually ate. Well worth eating here.

Friendly little pub with a good range of ales and dog friendly. Friendly staff and excellent views from the bar. Inside and outside seating.

Returned home today after truly fantastic 2 night stay at The Inn Ravenglass. We stayed in The Suite which was awesome with an amazing view overlooking the water. The restaurant and bar downstairs served excellent food,the Chowder was the best I have ever had. Staff...

Top Barman, top soundtrack, good lager, amazing food. It’s a shame we had to rush back to the train! Will be back again with more time.

We had a fantastic evening meal here. The food was delicious and the landlords were very friendly. They were great with our dog and very capable at adapting dishes where they could for my lactose intolerant partner. We had a wonderful view from the windows...

We arrived expecting an average pub with average food. We were wrong! This place was a delight. Friendly staff, great beer, and a short but interesting menu with specials as well. We just had a main each; marinated chicken skewers with a babah ganoush, fried...

Popped in for a drink on Easter Monday to get out of the wind and decided to have a quick bite to eat. Ordered 5 starters for 6 of us and 2 fries. Absolutely fabulous food! The vegetable fritters in particular were amazing! Highly recommended...

Went for dinner on the Friday evening, quite early as I think the pub was heavily booked later on. My wife had the beef croquettes (starter!) as a main course and was glad she did as there’s no way she could have eaten a main...

Absolutely AMAZING food and fabulous quirky bar, friendly barman and the chef, well he’s up there with the best we feel! Very accommodating to our fury friend also which is always a bonus

A great meal with the wife for her birthday service was excellent food was great. The place was very busy for a Thursday so I reccomend booking. For a starter we shared the slow cooked beef croquettes which was lovely. For main I had the...

Really excellent food! One of the best meals we have had in a while. Really recommend the cheese cake.

This place was recommended to us by the owner of the b&b we were staying at. Small menu but I’m always a bit suspicious of places with a massive selection. We both had a fabulous meal. Not cheap but worth it for the food.

We eat out regularly in Manchester, and this was the best meal I’ve had in at least six months. A really lovely short menu, and really nice to see local mutton on a menu - maximum flavour and use of all parts of the animal!...

This place is just lovely. A really friendly atmosphere, friendly service, and the most incredible food. My partner and I were completely blown away by it. The best restaurant experience I've ever had! Tastes much more expensive than it is.

ABSOLUTE BEST MEAL IVE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE!!!!!!! Pre ordered the Tomahawk steak which was ginormous topped with muscles scallops shrimp and amazing goodness. Fed 4 of us and all the steaks I’ve eaten around the world THIS ONE TOPS IT ALL NO JOKE!!!!!!...

Good selection of real ales . Very friendly and attentive bar person . The steak was remarkable probably the best I have ever tasted. The chef resources his meat from the nearby Eskdale valley. Dog friendly and free WiFi.

We had Chistmas lunch at the Inn Ravenglass and it was excellent. I have now been diagnosed as coeliac for 15 years and my gluten free xmas lunch was amazing, it was so good that we went back and had lunch there on New Year's...

Excellent food, Lovely view, Great Beer and a friendly warm atmosphere with real fire 👍. Take a walk from Ravenglass first lots of choices 😁

We had a great duck Christmas Dinner and seafood Spaghetti, along with a couple pints. Relaxed atmosphere and a nice view out of the estuary!

We ate here last Saturday afternoon not expecting much of a menu to be honest but the food was absolutely delicious!! I had the seafood pasta and my partner had the burger . A great atmosphere with such friendly service and amazing food Do not...

Excellent dining experience - varied menu with exciting options coupled with attentive and professional, warm Cumbrian and Scottish hospitality!

This is a perfect pub. I don’t say this lightly-years of experience! The owners are very friendly and organised. The beer was excellent and good choices. Food was superb. Location is fantastic right on the coast

What an incredibly warm and friendly welcome! Pub was very cosy with the fire on. The lovely lady behind the bar was chatty and so helpful with her recommendations on the area. The food was just delicious and the some of the best we've eaten....

A great location on the water. Food was ok, abit overpriced. Not sure what was going on in the kitchen but the food took ages to arrive even though there were few diners. Limited choice. The chips were great.

We booked for 8:15 and arrived a few minutes early. Friendly front.of house staff. We were sat in the bar area which had a nice vibe. Nice glass of Merlot and a cold beer ordered. Decided to have two lights bites/ starter between the two...

Booked in the Pennington Hotel for 3 nights. We decided to book dinner in our hotel on the first night but have a drink in the Inn at Ravenglass before our meal. As soon as we walked in the place it was like entering a...

You must visit this beautiful local pub on the beach with friendly bar staff and locals. But most of all you must try the dessert which is a twist on tiramisu known as philamisu! Highly recommended ❤️

Stoped at the inn after a day walking the staff were very welcoming. I had sea food spaghetti and my wife had monkfish both were faultless.the sauce in the spaghetti was wonderful and both large portions, will definitely go back when in the area

We stayed in ravenglass for a couple of nights at the end of June. We received a warm and friendly welcome. The food was excellent, 10 out of 10.

Amazing ice-cream. Seriously, the best I have had. Massive scoops. Salted licorice seemed a strange flavour for ice-cream…could it possibly work? But I love locative, so I gave it a try. Oh, wow! Absolutely perfect. Just the right balance of flavours, and delicately licorice.

Came across this place just by chance. Best food I’ve had for a long time. Menu perfect for me. Small plates and main meals. Different from the usual bland offering of pub food. Service was excellent. Friendly relaxed atmosphere.

Why has this gem only one review!! Visiting the area and popped in by accident, glad we did . Had some excellent fish, Dover Sole and sea bass , both well cooked and presented, even fitted in some sticky toffee pud . Friendly staff and...

This is definitely the best eatery in ravenglass. The food, service and choice of meals is superb. Nice to see different meals on a menu only been open 8 weeks at the time of this review but continue like this you'll be a success. Some...

I've been wanting to try the Chef's food for a while now, having built up quite a reputation and following with both local's and visitors alike since his days as an independent vendor. I found the food to be a real taste sensation. I had...

This place is a real gem, went on Sunday for the first time, the bar section is friendly and a good selection of real ales. The mackerel starter was lovely and the Beef Wellington main course was excellent. Its got to be top of the...

After finding the other two pubs in the village unaccommodating we tried this place and it couldn’t have been any better if they tried. Our party was 6 adults and 5 children. The host behind the bar was first class with good conversation and local...

We ate twice here during our trip to the lakes. The food is excellent. The beer was great too. Very welcoming and friendly. The food is not your typical pub grub, it’s far better and very good value for money. The seafood dishes on offer...

Well this was a big surprise and a very nice one too!! Located in the lovely village of Ravenglass, this little pub definitely punches above its' weight!!! The food was outstanding, I had the onion bhaji starter....they are the best I've ever had, and had...

Called in with our dog … very friendly atmosphere… Pete on the bar was very helpful about the new guest Ales .. We had lunch from the seasonal menu and it was delicious Would highly recommend this little gem of a place for some fine...

Absolutely amazing food, my first chowder, and my last until I come back because I doubt it could be beaten 😮

Trip advisor pages need updating as these say it opens at 12.00, but when I arrived today at 12.30 (24th May) it was closed with a chalk board saying it was opening at 14.00. I was looking forwards to Sampling some of the Stornoway Black...

We have been staying in Ravenglass for the last week and had dinner here twice. Both meals were excellent. The service is good, the staff friendly and efficient. We recommend it.

We were amazed at the warm welcome everyone received at the Inn. Brilliant landlord who went out of his way to help us, delivering Guiness to our patio next door. Heaven for my husband. We hope to return in the Autumn.

We had a very enjoyable meal at this recently reopened Inn. The guys did a great job ensuring we had our order in before a large party sat down. The menu was varied with a good selection of seafood, this isn't bog standard pub grub!...

A pub run by enthusiastic folk with a real passion for what they do. A pleasure to visit! Amazing location!

We arrived after a very long journey from Bristol to find the Inn at Ravenglass all locked up with no one about. We walked along to the Pennington Hotel which is only a few yards walk along and met with Dean who explained that due...

The Inn was a beautiful place to stay even so the pub part was closed the views where beautiful 😍 the weather was lovely just we would like to stay there for a week in August 2022 but we did not get no positive feed...

We actually didn't get to stay at the Inn but due to previous guests having Covid we were offered a cottage instead. We accepted reluctantly and it was an adequate alternative for one night. Food was always going to be taken at the nearby Pennington...

Great place to stay in Ravenglass. We had the suite overlooking the estuary which was lovely. Couple of things: there was no fridge in room which was a shame as the pub was shut downstairs so couldn't get ice etc. Also plaster exposed in some...

We had booked for 2 nights during October 2020 so COVID times. There is a very small car park at the rear of the pub, 3 cars, but there is a very large public car park 20m down the road. We had the suite at...

I cannot believe how much we were looking forward to our trip that unfortunately due to the pandemic we are unable to take. This establishment has tried to inform me that they intend to keep my £218 (for 2 nights and 2 breakfasts) and will...

Despite the website stating they were open and reviews being very good. The place seemed deserted and closed up like the Marie Celeste. It was a shame as they have the best location and there were plenty of tourists about even end of September

Title says it all. Fantastic place to stay. Beautiful views. Don't judge a book by its cover, the rooms (room 25) are amazing! And very well priced. Will definitely be returning. Thanks for a great relaxing stay.

Superb location, a true hidden gem! The staff/management are lovely people very welcoming and very helpful. The views speak for themselves and deserve a visit to watch a sunset outside the pub with a nice beverage or five. Fantastic for dog owners like ourselves, our...

Jackie is try her very best under difficult circumstances she is always friendly helpful and follows the covid guidelines to perfection... felt very welcome and very safe

Great hospitality served here. We only had a few drinks but the atmosphere was great and plenty of banter with the staff on a stormy day. Beer was great

Lovely little pub with a very friendly landlady who made us very welcome. Just sit and watch the sun go down and relax

Visité aquí temprano un sábado por la noche en febrero y las vistas eran impresionantes en todo el estuario.Una buena variedad de cervezas reales en el bar y esperaba mucho del menú debido a que el lugar estaba en la AA Pub Guide. El menú, sin embargo, era bastante minimalista y ordinaria comida de pub. Elegí las gambas, los guisantes y las patatas fritas que, aunque estaban bien, no me dejaron boquiabierto.Un lugar lo suficientemente decente para una visita por primera vez, pero no el tipo de lugar al que me apresuraría a volver.

fantastic pub with smashing home made food, perfect beer and the staff make you feel like old friends, plenty of locals in the pub and everyone was friendly and wanted to talk. Not many beer gardens have a view like The Inn

Loved this place, we were staying upstairs in Room 24 and called into the pub for a few beers after dinner at the Pennington Hotel. It had almost everything you'd want, great beer, great music, great staff and a lovely warm fire. We went again the following night after a long walk and it was a great place to relax. Looking forward to going back. Only thing missing was comfy sofa but then I'd probably still be there! We didn't eat but the reviews for food are good and what we saw looked great

Great pub, great staff very friendly, beer selection excellent. Had the fish and chips and the curry although pricey was very tasty. Would I come again of course I would.

Fantastic pub , great atmosphere, landlord and wife very welcoming couldn't do enough for us. Had a really good meal and will make it our local while here in Ravenglass.

Este es un típico pub de pueblo con locales y comida de pub fácil. Es cierto que la comida era realmente buena, pero eso podría deberse a que habíamos escalado Scafell ese día, ¡así que teníamos hambre! ! Son amables con los perros y muy acogedores con nosotros. Teníamos pescado y papas fritas, huevo y papas fritas gammon que era decente! Hubiera vuelto si estuviéramos allí más tiempo. Ellos

Wow, what an amazing little pub. Food was great and the beer was fantastic. Really friendly and funny staff. Jackie and Dean pack a great one two punch, quite the double act!!!!. Laughed nearly the whole time we were in. Will definitely be back

Having just stopped to visit an Art Exhibition in the Pennington Hotel we called into the Inn at Ravenglass for a drink, and they had some really nice local artwork in here too, some of which being produced by the same local artists.The pub was warm and hospitable, and at the time of our visit contained one of the largest dogs ever, although he was just a visitor too.Only had a drink here and chose the local Hawkshead Porter which was good, there being a choice of some other local ales also.Pleasant enough pub with friendly staff and would be happy to visit again, it's a bit like Dr Who's Tardis as it seems bigger on the inside than it does from outside!

Just back from a lovely weekend in Ravenglass...visited the pub on the first night for a drink and then ate there the next two nights....my husband couldn't resist the Cornbeef hash! Very welcoming, chatted to staff and other customers, very welcoming of our dogs. The fire was a welcome bonus on Sunday. Enjoyed some good local beers and tasty food.
