The Punch Bowl Inn & Restaurant in South Lakeland - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Visited as group of 9 for my wife’s 60th. The menu, service, drinks options and overall experience were first class. Will visit again.

Lovely old pub in the village. The food was delicious, using seasonal produce and very well presented and served as one would expect in a 5 star or even Michelin starred establishment. Would highly recommend.

A return visit to this popular spot in the Lake District. Sadly, things have gone down. Lunch menu is less extensive than that at dinner meaning some courses on the blackboard are not available. The ambiance was more like a pub than a restaurant but not at pub prices. Table next to us had 8 people, babies etc. People kept getting up and going outside - to smoke, text or whatever, shouting though the open window. Noisy as were other rooms. Service is also less friendly. We ordered bread (as an extra) and were presented with one slim slice. Even that turned out to be stale. Naturally, we complained and the server said it was what the chef agreed. No offer even to replace. Eventually the chef came out and confirmed that one slice was the offer. We said this was just mean compared to others if you charge extra. He just offered to replace the stale slice - no apology even. Bad look. On the plus side their classic cheese soufflé remains one of the best.

Would highly recommend anyone to eat here, brilliant food at a very reasonable price for the quality, service was great, we will definitely be back

Good traditional pub with cosy atmosphere. Locals at bar and usually quite a lot of people eating. Portion size was good and food tasty. Mostly traditional dishes.

Fabulous! We live west Lakes so was quite a drive but absolutely worth it, last minute booking and didn’t disappoint. As it’s a Sunday we had the Sunday menu (which was beautiful) but we will definitely be back to try the normal One too, great find!

Visited in July for a family dinner. Had an unsettling experience with a (French?) waitress who was patronising and rude when we requested a drink from the fridge which she repeatedly denied was there… even though we could see it right in front of us! Suggest she considers some customer service training as her tone to us was really unpleasant. Other staff were really lovely so we appreciated them making up for her poor service. The food was nice enough but we weren’t blown away - the duck could do with more flavour. Creme brûlée was delicious though.

Grabbed a sneaky last minute night away and fab night it was. Gorgeous old Inn in an amazing part of the Lakes National Park, easy parking, very welcoming at checkin. The rooms and the whole Inn is beautifully decorated , warm and cosy. Room was extremely comfy and great nights sleep was had. Great powerful shower with abundance of hot water. Evening meal was amazing, beautifully prepared and presented and served with a smile, great attentive staff. The cheese soufflé was amazing. Breakfast was great and again served with a smile. Staff all very polite and welcoming . Certainly will return very soon. If have one criticism is that the breakfast choice could have been slightly better to include maybe kippers or haddock and porridge but really didn’t put a dampener on the stay. Huge thanks to all for a fab stay. X

Visited for food on our last day of holiday as a group of 8 on a Sunday afternoon. We had been the previous days for drinks in the garden with the dogs which was lovely but the food was excellent! We all had roast beef which was amazing and couldn't fault a single thing. We would of loved to try the main menu as it all looked delicious!

Excellent food of very high standards and usual friendly and high quality service. Cannot fault the experience at all. The menu provides great choice and all dishes are superbly crafted in both presentation and flavour. Our third visit and we’ll definitely be back.

Drove over especially as a bit of a treat to celebrate with my mam. Headlines: A solid 8/10 from us. The food was mostly top notch, the decor rewarding and the service was efficient. Not unreasonable value either. We’d return. Background: We were sat at a spacious table for two next to the window seat. Lovely high chairs. On the recommendation of the Maître d'hôtel, mam and I both opted for potato and Camembert terrine with pickled mushrooms and capers. Doesn’t sound that exciting but MD was passionate and we were persuaded (and rewarded). The sharpness of the ‘shrooms not only cut through but unified the taste of the terrine. Both very delighted. Looked so good on the plate too. Mam had the lamb cannon. She asked for it just past chef’s choice of rare, and it came as requested. Mam thought the miniature shepherd’s pie was uber flavoursome. Great result. I had duck a l’orange. Duck cooked beautifully but I wanted a bit more orange in there. Felt a tad underwhelmed at being denied that. To finish, I had one of the best cheese boards I can remember. Quality and quantity. Very impressed there. Mam had the crème brûlée and was delighted. Service wasn’t perfunctory at all and staff are interested in your opinion and hearing your thoughts, but I’d have liked just a little bit more warmth. I accept that’s my subjective view, but it’s my experience that counts for me. Very happy with our meal. Very happy to leave a nice gratuity and we would return if in the area.

What an absolute gem! As a family with grandparents, parents, a 14 month old baby and dog, we were given a very warm welcome by Alice. We enjoyed fantastic hospitality by all the team, especially our waitress Gemma. The food was absolutely delicious and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal.

Superb evening meal here, fabulous staff, lovely setting and great food. A dream place and very fair food and wine pricing. Would love to return.

Another great dinner. Food, service and ambiance was top notch. Would always recommend for a meal, one of our favs in lakes! Will be back soon

We booked the restaurant for Sunday lunch but unfortunately we could not make it due to my wife feeling very unwell. I emailed and left a voicemail a few hours before. 30 minutes after the booking time I noticed £60 was taken from my card for a no show!! Be very careful when booking as even if you tell the restaurant they will still take the booking deposit. Very disappointed as we live local.

We had an amazing weekend at The Punch Bowl Inn. We and friends stayed there all weekend and had our wedding ceremony there on the Saturday afternoon followed by dinner in the evening. The Punch Bowl staff also catered for an additional 15 friends and family staying in nearby cottages. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff and they were always smiling, welcoming and in good humour. The food was fantastic throughout. The weekend exceeded our expectations.

Have visited The Punch Bowl numerous times and what a fabulous place it is. Our most recent stay was for 2 nights last week. The staff were their usual helpful and friendly selves and the food was amazing. We can’t wait to go back again soon.

Atmosphere is very elegant and cozy. Staff very profesional and kind. The food was absolutely delicious, made with seasonal ingredients, understanding good ingredients and cooking techniques really well. So friendly that the manager even drove us home because it was raining! We had a wonderful time!

We had two evening meals here. Everything was just spot on. Staff know what is going on the food comes within a reasonable time and each plate is worth more than the price. I would suggest considering a side order if peckish. Lovely atmosphere. Dogs are relegated to bar area. Well lit car park. The log fire is exceptionally efficient.

We visited on our first night staying nearby. We had the guinea fowl and duck. Both dishes were presented beautifully. The service was great, very quick and professional. We loved our mains, we ordered the white chocolate and the lemon desserts. Again beautifully presented and tasted just perfect. We would highly recommend this beautiful restaurant to anyone. It's not cheap but is worth every penny.

I had heard a lot for good things about this place and had been meaning to try it for a while... so we chose my birthday to try it...expecting a great things. We couldn't have been more disappointed! Firstly the first person we spoke to at reception was not helpful when we asked about our booking. It then took ages for the staff to work out we had actually booked a table, at this point we were not feeling very welcome at all. There were other people arriving in the restaurant getting menus and being seen to, meanwhile we had been left getting no service. Eventually a man came over with some menus when we mentioned the service, he made it clear he was not interested saying he could not comment. No offer to make us more comfortable or an apology for the treatment so far. Then the time came to order our food. We tried to order some potatoes and we were told it was no longer available because of the time of the day (only 2:15pm) and the only alternative was chips! We didn't want chips and when we complained to this man taking our order he launched into a tirade about running a business and not wanting left over food. This was no way to treat customers. No apology and no attempt to ease the situation. After his tirade we were so shocked and upset that we decided not to continue with our order but to pay our bill for the drinks and leave, We subsequently managed to get in somewhere else and had a lovely meal and the customer service couldn't have been more different. We won't go back to the The Punch Bowl Inn, a place that obviously wants to make lots of money without showing any customer service towards the people that are paying for them. Terrible!

Amazing food, the cheese & spinach souffle is outstanding, the best I've had. The rest of the meal was delicious, the desert choice was excellent, the raspberyy souffle was pretty amazing too. Great atmosphere, friendly staff and fantastic food, we will be back. Thank you for a lovely evening

This wasn’t our first trip to stay at the punch bowl in fact we have been visiting for years now and it never disappoints. The rooms are warm clean with lovely decor giving the country cottage feel with the exposed beams and traditional bathroom suits. The staff are friendly and very helpful and can’t do enough to make your visit a pleasant experience. The bar offers 3 local hand pulled beers all well kept and reasonable priced. As for the food this is beyond excellent we stayed for 2 nights but could have done with more just to try the other dishes on the menu. Overall a wonderful stay and we will be back. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending the punch bowl and often do.

This place is a hidden gem, the food is outstanding. I had the best Cheese Souffle I have ever had, it beats Le Gavroche Cheese Souffles, they’re that good. As soon as you walk through the door the welcoming was warm, the service was exceptional especially the young lady from Liverpool. This is a must if you’re in the area.

Somewhat disappointed. “Restaurant /Pub of the year”???! Really?.. Firstly, complete lack of greeting: we were standing not in a very tidy / clear lobby for about 5 mins being ignored by passing staff. Just “Hello, we’ll be with you in a minute” would have helped. Secondly, after we ordered the food, we were told 10 mins later the dishes we ordered are not available. We’ve ordered pre-lunch drinks which never arrived before food. My wife’s tuna was like a piece of fabric… both texture and taste. If you asked why we didn’t tell anything to the staff - no one checked back. Our dishes were half left - that’s how it’s been bad and again while clearing no one asked what’s wrong.

Truly amazing experience. Came for an early lunch on Saturday and got snowed in. We ended up by the fire with a few glasses of mulled wine. Staff could not be more welcoming and caring. They were making hot drinks for folks and flasks were handed out with sandwiches. Love this place and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it

I want to write a follow up to the review left following our booking for 12 people which due to adverse weather conditions we couldn't make and a £240 cancellation fee was charged to our card. I have just received a phone call from the manager (5 days later) apologising for the situation with an offer that the money will be held as a deposit for our next visit. This is a positive outcome. Thank you

We were at The PunchBowl on Saturday. We had such a wonderful experience unlike previous comments. We too thought we would be unable to travel to the PunchBowl let alone get home. After a lovely meal we were able to sit in the bar area in front of a roaring fire. With plenty of cups of tea and coffee being brought to us. We were helped out to our cars. Whilst we were there, there were people coming in for flasks to be filled / food being taken away. Well done to all the staff.

As a group we were extremely angry with the response from the punch bowl when we phoned to explain that due to the adverse weather conditions we could not get there for our celebratory meal for 12 people. They then took £20 per person, £240 within 30 seconds of the phone call! My wife called to speak to the manager and left her details for them to return her call. No call has been received. From the holiday cottage where we were staying it is normally a five minute drive or 35 min walk in normal conditions. The Punch bowl took £20 per person on credit card which was more than our meals would have cost if we had paid for the cost of each meal. That night, we lost electricity and water due to the snow and still not restored two days later. The next day the Punch bowl said they were closed for meals because of lack of access, but I bet they never give everybody £20 for failure to provide a meal.

My partner and I had a memorable meal - six different different dishes all superb and beautifully presented .My pan fried sea bass was particularly good .(The only thing that was irksome was the 25 minute wait for our mains after our starters ) We liked the ambience of the dining room and the quiet competence of the staff . Highly recommended .

We had the most wonderful time here. The food was excellent, every member of the team were so friendly and accommodating. We had a spot by the fire which was just perfect on a cold November evening. We will most definitely be back

Staff excellent,Food very good bit limited on choice that is my only negative .dog friendly in some areas and would definitely go again.

Wonderful place with a warm and friendly ambience. The food was amazing! Staff very welcoming and friendly. Perfect night out.

Fabulous place - warm and welcoming with great staff and food in a delightful setting. Peaceful location and a perfect lunch stop but would be lovely to stay over sometime. Well done all . . .

We had heard great things about this Inn so expectations were pretty high. Sadly it didn’t quite meet our expectations. Firstly, no one greeted us upon arrival, we sort of wandered to the bar and waited to get the attention of the barman. We were early as we knew we wanted to have a drink before dinner, but we ended up staying there much longer then we envisaged and we’re finally shown to our table 15 minutes after our reservation time. Our waitress was incredibly cheerful, friendly and chatty which is also lovely to see. Even though at the time of being given our menus and being told what the specials/soup of the day were - by the time we came to order the soup had changed from mushroom to tomato - not a big issue but not a great start. Our starters were good - the tall one had queenie scallops which did look good - I had the comforting tomato soup which was a little lack lustre. The tall one ordered a rare steak, whilst the steak was a beautiful piece of beef it most certainly wasn’t rare, safer to say medium. He did mention it to the waitress when she asked how our food was but even though it was offered decided not to have a new steak prepared. Sorry chef but you should know how to cook a steak, this was way off and not what the customer ordered. My fish dish was ok but having been to another fish restaurant two days earlier sadly it didn’t quite hit the mark - my saffron potatoes were tiny, not properly cooked and if there was saffron I certainly couldn’t taste it. It was also under seasoned which is a real shame. The inn is a beautiful location, the restaurant is informal but special at the same time. The menu choice is small but that is a good thing - better quality of products. The one thing that did jar with us is that whilst we didn’t make a big deal re the steak we would have expected some small alteration to the bill acknowledging this but it wasn’t forthcoming. Not the best customer service I’ve seen and considering the cost of the bill, a little shortsighted.

We both enjoyed the Sunday roast very much. Succulent roast beef, crispy Yorkshire pudding,delicious veggies and the much loved extra pot of gravy. The staff here are extremely professional and friendly, the setting is lovely and we’d certainly return when next in the area.

We ate here with friends last night and it was sensational. We all had different starters and main courses but each and every one was divine. We shared two puddings between us and both were amongst the best I have ever had. The blackberry soufflé...

Time for another review of The Punchbowl! We first discovered it back in 2015 and had an amazing meal, which resulted in us regularly making it the last stop on our annual Lakes holiday, to end the week on a high. The last time I...

We absolutely loved this pub. There was a great atmosphere and it’s in a lovely setting. The staff were all very friendly, particularly Karen who served us who had a great personality. The food was fantastic, I really enjoyed the crab stater and lamb main....

Set in a lovely rural village,this place is always worth a visit, though not cheap. Great food and service in a nice setting. Best restaurant in the area in our view.

We booked for dinner as we were staying just up the road. My daughter had been here before but some years ago & enjoyed her experience with friends. We booked for 5.30 . We were shown into the main dining room, there was no one...

Great food in a lovely atmosphere. A really lovely restaurant and well worth the 30 min drive to get to it. Great service.

Excellent food, brilliant and accommodating staff, even helping out with our 12 week old son whilst we enjoyed the food.

Disappointing. The cheese soufflé was spectacular, but unimpressed by the rest of the meal. In fact the menu didn’t specify certain ingredients which were an issue for our party. Our cod arrived with pancetta which was not included in the description on the menu. When...

Lunch at 2pm on a Sunday. seated in the dog friendly quiet centre of the pub in the bar area. drinks were served promptly and orders taken efficiently. some warm brown sourdough crusty bread arrived and all seemed good. my wife’s guinea fowl was tasty...

Very disappointed 😞 my partners 50th birthday and I had saved hard for this special 4 night treat. I am not a professional chef but can certainly cook and enjoy doing so- our meal was very very expensive,little flavour ,no seasoning and luke warm at...

Underseasoned overpriced food , minuscule amounts , luke warm , very dissapointed after reading such rave reviews....the cheese souffle was very underwhelming....no seasoning or flavour ....the lamb as a main .....daylight robbery ...3 tiny bits .....again underseasoned luke warm .... overall very very overpriced

Booked for an early dinner at fairly short notice. Friendly welcome, efficient service, knowledgeable staff, and most important, delicious food. Struggled to choose between so many tempting dishes. A really lovely inn. Wish we lived nearer - we would be regulars.

As we arrived the welcome was dismissive. We were taken to a table in low room with little character. Service was indifferent. However ,the food was lovely and good quality. I think it was over priced especially when charged a 10% service charge as we...

The Punch Bowl is still a fantastic place with fantastic staff. The rooms and service are as good as ever - can’t fault them. We’ve been going here for the last 10+ years, sometimes twice a year, and always dinner, bed & breakfast. What we...

We have enjoyed another wonderful stay at the Punch Bowl, which has just been awarded the AA Inn of the Year for 2023. So well deserved by the owner and his team, who offer warm hospitality combined with absolute professionalism. The food is absolutely delicious...

We were recommended this establishment but unfortunately we were very underwhelmed and slightly annoyed by our experience. The servers were unfriendly and inattentive and we even had to go to the bar to get our own drinks at times. The first order took half an...

What a corker this place is! We had an unexpected chance of a night away midweek and my partner looked at the Michelin guide (which has non-starred places in too) and found this. We decided to book a room (the basic one he said) and...

We are local and have been here many times. Occasionally things can wobble but they do in all the best places. This is without doubt the best pub/restaurant in the South Lakes. We were four, and as usual, the soufflé was well received. As was...

Sorry to say we used to love the punchbowl but very disappointed today . Felt very ripped off. Cheese soufflé was ok but preferred back in the day with sauce and not sweet onion chutney. The 3 very small pieces of lamb with pea mash...

Underwhelmed and underfed, the staff were extremely nice and attentive but I left the restaurant still hungry and feeling slightly ripped off, the portion sizes are a joke, my wife’s main course was the smallest piece of halibut I have seen and fairly tasteless, my...

It has been four years since my wife and I have been able to return to the Punch Bowl and I am pleased to say that everything I said then still applies. The cheese soufflé was tremendous, so light it could have floated away and...

Food was great 👍 so was the service 😋 they tolerated children 😳. They didn't make us wait too long:).

Our second time at the Punchbowl for another Anniversary! Beautiful peaceful setting and drinks on the terrace is lovely. Our meal was very good the cheese souffle and lemon tart are both stand outs. Great service from friendly staff. Our only problem are the portion...

Great service and incredible food. The lamb rump was perfectly cooked and delicious. Strawberry soufflé and lemon tart with Damson compote were amazing. One of the best dining experiences that we have had during our visit to the Lakes

Started off with tea and delicious scones in the sun. We’ve stayed in a few rooms over the years and had a nice restful time. We were in Cooper this time and not so relaxing with fan noise from the bar, strange noises in the...

My partner had read the reviews for this restaurant and was keen to try it. However, we were disappointed, my partners starter of lobster ravioli, had to be sent back as the pasta was hard, it came back just the same. The mains were nice,...

fantastic experience. Cheese Soufflé, sausages and lemon pie are absolute musts. Very welcoming personnel, and beautiful dinning room next to the fire.

We only had drinks on this occassion on a stop off whilst walking round the area. We sat in the lovely seating area outside. The pub was busy and food looked fabulous. Inside and outside of the pub was really nicely done and well kept...

We had a fabulous night away here. The staff are so friendly and helpful and the food delicious. We went home with batteries recharged literally. Because when I discovered the car battery was flat the lovely owner drove home, and came back with a recharger...

Arrived at 2:30 on March 26, the car park was chaos though we parked at the top of the road at the entrance. Met on reception and mentioned the parking the receptionist took us outside gesticulating about the car park and stated I park down...

Lovely venue and great atmosphere the food was great and well cooked and we all enjoyed ourselves if l was being critical the sweet menu could be better and for that reason I give it 8 out of 10.

Visited a couple of years ago for dinner and promised ourselves we would come again and stay the night. From booking to cream tea on arrival to drinks, dinner, overnight stay in a beautiful room, to breakfast and check out, everything is very, very, good....

The food the exceptional and the service is outstanding. A really friendly team who are very on the ball. I am confident that whenever I visit The Punch Bowl I will have a delicious meal.

Food was absolutely outstanding A drink and two side orders forgotten A small speck on an otherwise perfect experience. Will visit again very soon

Stayed for two nights. Lovely cosy room with great countryside views. Room was called Danson. Great walks from the pub. Dinner was lovely very popular so you need to book. We had a late Sunday lunch the second day so didn’t need dinner, can recommend...

We arrived and were told to go to the bar to announce our arrival for our 2:45pm booking. We approached the bar where 2 staff members were. We said hello and we were here for our booking. They didn’t reply or say hello. After a...

We couldn’t ask for a warmer welcome with our dog. I suggest you book as it’s clearly popular. The food was exquisite. We stayed at a place with very poor dining and discovered this place thank to Tripadvisor - so good in fact we booked...

I can't recommend this hotel highly enough, Great welcome, lovely rooms, interesting menu and carefully cooked food. Everyone working there was cheerful, professional and friendly. Definitely will visit again.

Amazing food and lovely staff. Really accommodating too for families - unlike other gastro pubs in the lakes. Very cosy and relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommend a visit - we are looking forward to coming again!

Staying at the Punchbowl for 3 nights, was my weekend birthday treat to myself. All the staff are super friendly and accommodating and the pub is decorated in creams and sage greens with lovely thick carpets in the common areas upstairs. There is a separate...

We had a delicious meal at the Punchbowl back in October. It was delicious. The cheese soufflé was to die for. My duck was cooked to perfection and my husband thoroughly enjoyed all his gluten free choices. Would highly recommend this restaurant, I personally think...

This was not a great experience and at a very hefty price regardless of cost of living and inflation - meals were plated in a kitchen some way from our tables and so not sure if this led to service that arrived luke warm to...

We visited the punchbowl first time in 2021 for dinner and a night's stay. The dinner was perfect - sort of verging on fine dining but good portion sizes and not overly expensive. They also made me cosmopolitans despite not being on the drinks menu...

We have been going to The Punchbowl for several years and have never been disappointed. Whilst the food is delicious with great selections all year round, the staff are worthy of a special mention. Always welcoming and attentive, knowledgeable and pleasant. It is a must...

The experience of staying and dining in The Punch Bowl is second to none. The Jerusalem Artichoke starter I had yesterday evening was the best thing I’ve ever eaten! Thank you.

This is the local we go to for a special night out as it is a fine dining experience. Food is always great, wine list good and lovely country pub environment. I rarely write a review but wanted to say how impressed we were that...

Food excellent and service good. Good value and good atmosphere. Need to book. Will go again. Recommended.

Thursday lunch on a wet October day but the carpark was still reasonably full. We arrived an hour early but despite being busy were immediately seated and served. Room, with an open fire, was so inviting on such a miserable day. Three starters, three mains...

Never usually write reviews but the lunch I had here today was absolutely delicious. cheese soufflé was amazing, followed by the belly pork then the chocolate mouse, both so nice. Thoroughly enjoyable experience, in a lovely setting with very friendly and attentive staff.

My wife and I spent 2 nights at the Punch Bowl recently to celebrate our 60th birthdays. We dined in the restaurant on both nights and weren't disappointed. The celebrated Cheese soufflé is a must whilst the quality of the fish - we had Sea...

Staff were NOT attentive and delays with food and ordering were based on 2 large tables which given it's a restaurant shouldn't come as a surprise. We were told the food would be worth the wait but it really wasn't. Smallest king scallops I've ever...

Stayed and ate here before and plan to again. Staff are friendly and helpful, food delicious, rooms are individually styled and comfortable.

Having heard good things about the food here we were looking forwards to our meal. General welcome was a little underwhelming to say the least. The atmosphere was lacking something but was not unbearable. Menus arrived quickly and drinks orders taken. Our order consisted of...

Decided to return to the Punchbowl after a long time away. Did not appreciate the owner failing to pass on the VAT deduction to his customers as offered by Rishi Sunak, then Chancellor, during the pandemic. However, that was then, and we fancied a return....

Absolutely delicious. The service was fantastic. We hadn’t booked and arrived at lunchtime on a busy Saturday but they found us a table for 5 for us. Had cheese soufflé and roasted veg for mains ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We booked for our anniversary, as we haven't been out for a long time due to various reasons, but mostly dieting. But seeing as it was our anniversary we wanted something special to break our diet for one day. The food was OK but not...

Another excellent meal at The Punch Bowl. As we arrived they apologised as they informed us that due to illness service would be a little slow but it was as wonderful as usual. The menu provided a great choice, as always, but it was the...

We have friends staying in a couple of weeks and had heard good reports of The Punch Bowl so went to try it before taking visitors there. On the plus side the cheese soufflé starter was excellent, and our mains (Sea Bass, Guinea Fowl) were...

We have just returned from two nights here. It’s a lovely secluded hotel with great staff. The Hebblewhite room is spacious and has a great bathroom with a deep tub, it overlooks the main car park but we weren’t disturbed. Food here is divine, presented...

We've been many many times including right at the the beginning when Punchbowl had a mezzanine floor and basic (very) accommodation owned by an amazing chef. For me the Punchbowl has always led first and foremost with its food and rooms/accom followed that a true...

A big thank you to the professional attitude to a mix up with dates. Despite being full, the maitre d’ found somewhere for us. If he hadn’t we would’ve missed out on some great food. This is definitely fine dining in The Lakes. The staff...

Came for lunch mid-week in May as a group of 4, service was excellent, food superb, Allow £50 per head if having three courses and a couple of drinks. Some great real ales as well.
