The Red Lion in South Lakeland

Lovely friendly pub evening meal was lovely good food nice people hubbie loved the ribs and beef madras perfect looking forward to eating there again

We stayed at the Red Lion, last week, while walking the Cumbria Way. Lovely traditional pub, staff and locals are very friendly. Good food and beer, I can recommend the Cumbrian sausage! Our room was spacious and comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Decent pub serving decent grub. Beers were great, fire was lit. Lovley. The beef madras was very tender.

What an amazing gem! I can't believe I've past this cracking little Pub & B&B so many times. Steve, the host was great and couldn't do enough for us and Lucy's cooking awesome. I went with my dog Reuben (and yes the dog got treats). Had 2 evening meals and both were spot on! As for the breakfast "Oh my Lord" it kept me going all day long. A great selection of beers, I particularity enjoyed the Great Corby stout! Decor wise, it was spotless, all looked fresh but its been just a couple of years since it was done, the shower was equal to any posh grade hotel! Just sorry I missed the acoustic session which was the previous week. I'll definitely be returning, might even treat the wife!

Quick, friendly service. Fully aware of a coeliac’s dietary requirements. Good menu of proper pub food. The Cumberland sausage served in a Yorkshire pudding was a good meal and delicious.

Used the B&B and had dinnner too. Friendly pub with good bear and a good dinner, quiet rooms (bar closes at 9pm), comfy beds and nice rooms, and a great breakfast, Would definitely use again.

Had such a lovely stay at the Red Lion. The room was immaculate, with a super comfy bed and lovely window box. Superb breakfast, and we had a great dinner there as well. Lovely hosts. Dog approved- we will be back!

We called in here for an evening meal just last Thursday. The traditional pub had a warm, welcoming feel and was well-maintained and quite apparently well-run. I enjoyed the "Flat Cap" bitter served here. The evening menu was reassuringly short - not too many options. I went for the battered fish with chips and mushy peas. Very nice. For dessert I had the sticky toffee pudding with cream. . Equally good. I liked the fact that we did not have to endure an interminable wait before our orders arrived at the table. All in all a very pleasant dining experience..

We stayed here for 4 nights.Steve and Lucia were the perfect hosts.The pub has a great atmosphere from the locals.Food was good.Whole place was spotless.Would stay again plenty to do in the area.

Lucy and Steve provided us with a first class stay. Excellent communication from initial enquiry to leaving this morning. Our initial party of 3 grew to 6 & a dog! They went the extra mile - even letting us know that our dogs cuddly toy monkey was left behind! Clean comfortable rooms, super tasty food and we all enjoyed a very hearty full english & vegatarian breakfast (thanks Lucy!) Dog friendly with biscuits was a bonus. The beer garden looked lovely, it was a little too chilly to sit out this time - we will be back again! Top class - thank you for looking after us all so well.

My wife, I and our young black Labrador had a beautiful stay, everything was great from the value for money, the staff, the locals, the bar, the food, the room and the unbelievable scenery of the area. Importantly also how caring and understanding they were with our dog, genuine friendly owners. Thank you Steve and Lucy 🙏🏼

Lovely little pub only a couple of miles from Coniston lake. Me and my partner had been paddle boarding on the lake for the afternoon and wanted to grab some tea from somewhere afterwards. We just searched pubs near us and this one came up as the closest. It was a lovely little pub, very warm and welcoming atmosphere and the food was to die for. It was a lovely range of options on the menu, something suitable for everyone. The staff were so lovely and efficient. The portion sizes are huge, especially for the inexpensive prices!! Couldn’t recommend the Red Lion enough. Well worth a visit to end a nice day in the lakes!

We ate in here twice and the food and service was very good. Would definitely recommend this pub to anyone staying in and around this area

We ate here whilst staying at the campsite 3 miles away, so walked to and from each evening. No hardship, it's a pretty walk, the service was really welcoming, beer great and they serve good pub food, we majored on lamb shank and beef pie, justified by the walk...

Really nice pub to stay in, lovely warm welcome, Steve and lucia are brilliant,as are there staff the breakfast is amazing, didn’t need to eat all day, great selection of beers, will definitely be coming back, rooms are clean and comfortable, what more do you need, 💕

Really lovely old Inn with spacious clean bedrooms and fabulous food. a The breakfast was probably one of the best we have had. The proprietors were friendly and helpful. A really good stay

Steve and Lisa will look after you well here, and the beauty of the place is in the simplicity and friendliness. Well situated for walks or drives in one of the many nearby beautiful hills and valleys like around lake Coniston, through the Duddon valley or over the forest parks to the east. Rooms are fairly basic but clean and have everything you need. Good value for money. Relax in the bar after the day's activities with a pint of the local ale. Food is good, pub grub style. I had the ribs which were nice. Breakfasts are good, and great if you're going walking all day. Packed lunches available too, just ask.

Mi pareja y yo acabamos de pasar una escapada de 4 noches aquí, con una cálida bienvenida de Lucy y Steve, excelentes anfitriones.El león rojo es un antiguo pub tradicional, en una ubicación tranquila, con fácil acceso a las atracciones locales.Excelentes desayunos, Sirviendo una buena selección en el menú de la noche,Comimos escuchar todas las noches buena comida casera.Covid seguro, todo bien organizado, definitivamente recomiendo, esta posada!volveremos, a este acogedor lugar

Bien hecho a Steve y LucyAl tiempo que se mantienen los valores de un pub tradicional en los lagos, cada detalle que se pudo implementar ha sido para mantenernos a todos a salvo en estos tiempos difíciles. Aconsejaría a cualquiera que tenga la tentación de visitar que reserve con antelación solo para estar seguro. Somos visitantes habituales de este pub por algunas buenas razones - buena cerveza - buena comida - buena atmósfera - lugareños muy amables y serviciales¿Qué más se puede pedir? ?Así que un gran agradecimiento a Steve y Lucy por todo el arduo trabajo que han realizado desde la reapertura de su encantador y acogedor pub, y buena suerte para los dos durante los próximos meses.

We stayed here for two nights, lovely friendly pub and hotel with great food. Hosts couldn’t do enough, would definitely recommend and we will be back. Taking great lengths to be Covid safe without losing any of its charm. PS Dog loves it too.

My hubby and I spent last night here. Lovely friendly welcome,fantastic food, rooms beautifully clean. (lovely smelling clean bedding and towels) probably the best breakfast we have had.

Great pub, great food, great atmosphere, highly recommended if you are in the area. Safe systems in place, Steve and Lucy very welcoming, all staff very friendly and efficient.

Acabo de pasar 8 noches aquí porque he estado trabajando en la zona. Una cálida bienvenida por parte de Steve, Lucy, el personal y los clientes habituales. La habitación era muy cómoda con todo lo que necesitaba. Una hermosa ducha caliente y potente que se necesitaba después de algunos días húmedos en el trabajo. Lucy (casera) es la chef aquí y produce deliciosa comida casera. Todo el personal que conocí fue amable, educado y eficiente. El pub tiene un punto de desinfección en la puerta principal, un registro de registro y un sistema de ida en todo el pub. La comida, la bebida y el alojamiento tienen precios muy razonables. Como me fui demasiado temprano, en lugar del desayuno, Lucy fue lo suficientemente buena como para prepararme un almuerzo para llevar todos los días, que era sabroso y sustancioso. Definitivamente regresaría aquí. Gracias a todo el equipo Red Lion.

What more can I say than friendly & foodtastic! The food may be simple pub grub but it was done well, tasted great, good portions and reasonably priced.

Nice little local country pub that serves quality grub. Staff really nice, v friendly. The chille con carne was very tasty - the pie looked amazing! Will be back

We’ve been here a few times, it’s always a great place to come. Wether after a long walk or just passing through, lovely food, great beers and a warm welcoming reception away by the open fire.

Check the opening hours before going as reduced hours in winter but still the best place to drink and eat in Lowick

If you are hungry and need good food grub to fill you up after a day in the lakes this is the place. Good beer too!

Stopped off for an early supper - enjoyed fantastic steak & mushroom pie & chilli con carne. Dogs welcome. Good selection of beer.

El Red Lion se ha convertido en un lugar donde cada vez que venimos a los lagos siempre lo visitamos. Es por el amable propietario y la propietaria, es el personal amable, es que los lugareños son muy amables, es que la comida siempre es tan encantadora y siempre muy caliente, es que es una casa gratis con buena cerveza. Sí, es todas estas cosas y aún más. Tenga la seguridad de que volveremos en nuestra próxima visita a los lagos

Very helpful service and good, home cooked food. Well worth a visit for a better than average pub meal. Try the black and blue beef. Yummy!. Parking can be difficult.

Great accommodation. Really dog friendly. Clean and tidy and all needs catered for. Great breakfast as well

Had a decent Sunday evening meal and a drink of excellent local handpulled real ale. Plesant place with good service. Atmosphere spoilt by noisy customers sitting at the bar with their dogs, blocking access for other customers.

A pleasant enough atmosphere with friendly service. The food wasn't enough to complain about at the time but on reflection we did feel like we left the pub feeling a bit ripped off. The ribs with chips were that, and that only. Just red hot ribs on a plate with no form of trimmings or garnish and a bowl of pale chips that had clearly come straight out of a freezer. My partners ham salad included two slices of ham (which was nice) but nothing more than mixed leaves, yellow pepper and four or five cherry tomatoes cut in half. I've had better side salads served with a sandwich. We've eaten at two other pubs during this weeks holiday in the local area and both were so much better for a similar price.We wouldn't return.

Muy acogedor pub local vale la pena viajar. Bien presentado con una cálida bienvenida. No es un lugar enorme, pero muy acogedor y bien dirigido. Muy limpio y ordenado, con un sabroso menú de comida tradicional de pub en un ambiente reconfortante. Se admiten perros, estuvimos muy contentos de haber descubierto este pub.

Friendly staff, good choice of meals and specials. Very tasty food, generous portions, and we'll kept beers.

Our second time here...good basic pub food, very friendly staff and a warm welcome. What’s not to like?

Everything that's good about a traditional British country pub. Great beers and real ale. Very polite and helpful staff. The food was spot on, generous portions and good service. Roaring log fire to complete the warm and welcoming ambiance. Will be going again.

Good honest well cooked food at a reasonable price all freshly made. We especially enjoyed the lamb shank and the full English breakfast.

Disfruté de una estancia de una noche en el pueblo de Lowick del Distrito de los Lagos, de donde procedían mis ancestros del lado de mi padre. No podría haber elegido mejor que el Red Lion en una ubicación tranquila junto a la autopista principal. Me senté frente a una chimenea de leña. Disfruté de una deliciosa cena con una pinta de trago de Birra Moretti y disfruté de una buena conversación con una encantadora pareja de Kirkby Stephen, Jennifer y Emrys, que también se hospedaban. El desayuno fue igual de impresionante y suficiente para verme durante todo el día siguiente. ¿Mi habitación era cómoda, bien equipada y como todo el pub inmaculado? Steve fue un anfitrión acogedor y se aseguró de que no quisiéramos nada. Un descanso encantador y relajante que necesitaba después de haber tenido el trauma de tener que dormir a mi perro el sábado anterior y, por supuesto, estar entre algunos de los paisajes más maravillosos de Gran Bretaña.

With a few friends for a couple days. Only 3 rooms but very clean and comfortable. Food excellent and good selection of whisky. Very friendly landlord and staff. Definitely worth a visit and stay.

A friendly, cosy pub with attentive staff. Dog friendly! The room was comfortable, clean and had a hot shower. Tasty pub grub with table service and lovely atmosphere. Highly recommend.

This is the second time I've stayed here , it's in a lovely location, very scenic. The rooms are very clean and comfortable. I would definetly recommend and will go back again. Great cooked breakfast.

Delicious food and wonderful staff! We loved it so much the first time we went back for a second meal during our stay. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a great pub meal.

Ate here while holidaying in the village, what a great find ! Traditional pub food with friendly and welcoming staff and good value for money . Would return here and recommend to all .

We stayed here for one night whilst touring the Lakes as part of a cycle ride. The pub is very welcoming, and accommodated ourselves and the bikes with no problem. The room was very comfortable and the food great pub food. A hearty breakfast set us up for the next day of our ride.

Just have to say my Wife and I have eaten the fish Pie on many occasions in the Red Lion not only is the fish really good in it as is the fish with the chips but the sauce is fab as well, this is a pub that serves good pipping hot food and with a friendly smile, so I suggest any one who is going to visit give the fish pie a try, we do on most visits. Would also suggest the fish and chips or should I say whale and chips it's that big

I'm shaking my head because I can't believe the food reviews on here for this little dated pub. Honestly the pictures tell the story, what they don't say is that the food is earth's core hot and totally tasteless. All I can say was the chef was having a day off and they resorted to raiding the freezer. Reviews must be based on quantity of food not quality. Couple of concessions the beer and location are very nice and the barman did deduct the 10.95 off my bill for my inedible fish pie. I'd advise them to step away from the freezer and use good fresh local ingredients, FGS it's Cumbria.

Stayed here for 1 night, bank holiday Saturday. Weather was amazing as was the hospitality at the Red Lion. Lovely beer garden to enjoy the last of the day's sun. Meal was great and very good value. Room very good and shower excellent. Breakfast was very good and we weren't rushed, even though we took and hour!! Great find for us for when we visit family. Definitely recommend.

We stayed at Lowick Bridge in March 2018 for 4 days 5 nights. Our cottage was just around the corner from the Red Lion (literally a 2 minute walk) which was extremely handy when we fancied a drink after a long day trekking. The pub staff were very friendly, and made us feel very welcome chatting to us about the days visits and giving us local tips for out and about around the lakes. The beer was good and the food was absolutely amazing. The food was home cooked and very tasty, with a good choice of menu. I would definitely recommend this lovely pub and would consider even staying at the B&B; accommodation at the premises.

Great pub! Beer is always fantastic. Wonderful fire in winter; great views in summer. Dogs welcome. Proper local. And top atmosphere Xmas Day. Love it !

On holiday in the Lake District.

Lovely friendly pub, very generous portions (none of us could make it to the deserts!) Best whitebait I have had for years. Darned good fish 'n chips, too! Plenty of choice! If I don't think it deserves a mention, I never post a review!

A little gem of a pub. Good choice of local ales, friendly service and good food. What more could you wish for ?

This is a fantastic Lakeland inn. It has a lovely welcoming, friendly atmosphere with a cosy family feel. Steve and Lucy have a way of making everyone feel comfortable and at ease very quickly. The food is good, well cooked and the menu planned to suit a wide range of tastes and preferences. We've eaten there in the evenings and at lunchtimes on a number of occasions when visiting the area and have always thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. Can't wait to repeat it.

Sólo tenía una perfecta estancia de dos noches en el Red Lion. Yo estaba visitando la zona con mi hija de 18 meses grand. Steve y Lucy eran unos anfitriones fantásticos y tenía todo lo que necesitábamos. La habitación era muy amplia y estaba limpia y el desayuno era de muy buena calidad y muy bien cocinados. No dudaría en recomendar este lugar, sin duda me encantaría volver. Gracias.

Estábamos en unas vacaciones de senderismo y nuestras maletas fueron enviadas. Unlke algunos de los lugares que nos alojamos, Steve tomó las maletas a la habitación, listo. Fue una tarde horrible de lluvia pesada, y que estaban mojadas y miserable cuando llegamos. No te preocupes!...

Tuvimos una estancia encantadora de 4 noches, las habitaciones eran cómodas y limpias, la comida era deliciosa, perros y los propietarios fueron muy amable y nada era demasiado problema. Y el pub está en un precioso entorno bastante

Buena comida con un menú especial para niños. Vinimos aquí varias veces mientras se aloje en Coniston Water. El personal es muy amable.

Almuerzo reservado para un grupo grande de ciclistas con hambre. El propietario y la dueña era muy servicial, incluso cuando llegamos un poco más tarde de lo previsto, y nos dio una cálida bienvenida y procedió a servir una excelente comida. La torta de carne...

Muy buena comida de bienvenida y descansar después de un paseo lluvioso en los lagos. Patatas fritas y salsa y chocolate caliente fueron el antídoto perfecto para el personal clima 😋 fue amable y atento.

We visited in October this year on three occasions - twice just for drinks and once for food. The atmosphere was cozy and friendly - a cracking fire was burning in the main room and the beer (Flat Cap) was delicious. On the one occasion we had food it was lovely - vegetable balti for me and steak pie for my husband. Well cooked and reasonably priced - can't ask for more than that! It's probably worth ringing ahead to reserve a table as its only a small place. Will definitely return next time we're in the area.

And I felt compelled to write up a review, because a year later, I still salivate over the meat pie that I had.

On arrival the bar was busy with understandably happy clientel, all happily chatting. The room I was shown to by the very friendly and helpful young lady far exceeded rooms I have paid almost twice as much for in Cumbria. Arrived late, but my reserved table was kept so was still able to enjoy the well cooked and presented meal, with a good variety of drink, whether beer, wine or spirits, especially whiskies. My only problem, arriving with a cold which developed to apoint where I couldn't enjoy the food and drink on second evening, or the excellent full English the second morning. However, I've now got an extra reason for another visit to the Red Lion

basic pub grub menu, mainly with chips, does have specials board. breakfast amazing all local produce.

Had scampie chips and salad my friend had chilli and rice mine was the best i have ever tasted my friend said it was the best chilli has ever had well done to these guys they work very hard and do a grest job well done to The Red Lion .....

Whale or Fish that was the debate my Wife and myself had when our fish and chips was served to us in this quaint village pub, it was superb, great batter on the fish. To make this experience even better there was a great selection of beers served by very friendly people who could not do enough for you to make you're stay as pleasant as possible. Big well done to the landlord and landlady you should be very proud, and we will be back for sure.

Had the pleasure of having a meal with my family the other evening. Arrived at the Red Lion on spec, (potentially always fraught with risk), only to be welcomed by a friendly landlord, varied menu, with plenty of specials & real vegetables. Above all, for me anyway, was a nice choice of good keg beer. We all made our choices and none were disappointing. Certainly a place to revisit and recommend to all.

Called in on the offchance, 2 adults, 1 child, 2 dogs and we were put in the 'back room' because of the dogs. The Back Room was tired and dingy but seemed clean enough and was empty other than ourselves. The main bar was busier, probably 20 people and a dog in there, but not sure why we got stuck in the back room as there was room up front. Ordered food and it came in a reasonable time. I had ribs and chips. The ribs were exactly the same as the ones I get at Lidl or Aldi for 2 pounds something and came with a bowl of chips (frozen type) No salad, no veg, just ribs n chips. It was 'ok' but I could have cooked it at home myself for about 3 quid so you kind of feel ripped off when you go out and pay 12 or 13 pounds for the same thing (cant remember the price exactly)Hubby had pie - which was a dish of pie filling with a circle of puff pastry on top. Came with chips, peas and carrots. Again, he said it was ok but nothing special.Daughter has the obligatory chicken nuggets and chips - she like the nuggetsas they were 'real' chicken and not the nasty floor sweepings type. We shared a couple of puddings - hot sponge with ice cream and they were rather nice, better than the mains. The meal was alright, there was nothing wrong with it as such, it just wasnt special. Aldi ribs and chips I can do at home on a wet Tuesday, lol ...... when I go out and pay my hard earned money for a treat I expect to eat something I couldn't/wouldn't do at home. I wouldn't go back.

A lovely, friendly B & B, last minute booking and we were not disappointed! Room was lovely, clean, tidy and everything you would expect. Breakfast was delicious, more than you could eat! Set us up lovely for a days walking! We chose The Red Lion as it would except our dog too, the dog was welcomed by everyone, there were water bowls around the garden and treats inside! A lovely place and would throughly recommend!

Stopped off at The Red Lion for s coffee and we were not disappointed The coffee was superb served in a large cafetière with fresh milk and biscuits on a tray. Real pub real ales beer garden with fantastic views and made welcome

Good grub,good beer,good digs,good brekky.Sure you get the idea by now.Locals are friendly,and the owners are gems.Thanks for a great weekend,Phil n Gill

Had a great experience here, the owner was friendly, service was very good too. Really enjoyed our meal, no complaints at all. Stayed over and had a fabulous full english breakfast, huge portions.

We turned up at this pub a little off track on the Cumbrian Way. Steve the publican was charming and very kind with a typically British sense of humour. We rested our legs for a half an hour, enjoying a restorative drink and engaging conversation. Without us asking, Steve offered to drive us a couple of miles down the road, to get us back on track. That is why English pubs are so special, because they are run by good natured, good humoured, considerate English gentlemen. Visit the Red Lion at Lowick, just a little pub but an experience you will remember.

For over 15 years, my wife Jean and i , have called in most nights for a couple of drinks on our way back to the static caravan. Sadly, Jean passed away in March, at a time we had another trip to the Lakes booked. my lovely daughter Kathryn suggested that we go and stay at The Red Lion, so she could see why we liked it so much. So, along with grandaughter Sophie, we checked in for a couple of nights, and , o yes, my dog Copper. As usual , we got a warm reception from Steve And Lucy, and enjoyed some great food and good beer.In the evening we met some of the locals that we have known for years, and all in all really enjoyed our stay..The breakfast in the morning should have been called a ' belly buster ' as there were two of everything you can imagine ! We did our three favourite walks, and sadly said goodbye, as it was time to go home. Many thanks to Steve and Lucy, and Philip He had remebered the Ginger Marinho !

Visited the Red Lion while house hunting. Stopped for a pint and decided to have lunch. Lovely little pub, excellent choice of real ale, good food and very good service. Allowed to take our dog in (who was rewarded for his good behaviour by a biscuit from the landlord). They have a small outdoor patio area although it was a bit windy on the day we visited.If only more pubs were like this.

Went out to the Red Lion as a couple for a meal to celebrate my husband's birthday. Never actually gone into the pub before....only walked past as it is on the Keswick to Barrow walk route.Quite a small menu, however we both managed to find something we fancied and the food itself was good and reasonably priced. Good service and a very friendly village pub atmosphere. Will return.

Have been coming to this amazing pub for years now and know the locals well now, but this years visit was even more Special yes the food is still amazing yes Steve and Lucy the Owners are fab yes the staff are also fab. But this gem of a Pub in its Beautiful surroundings has now welcome a Freehouse with amazing cask's to try, i was spoilt for choice, is there a better way to finish of a days walking than sitting in this amazing Pub and being spoilt for choice with amazing Ależ to try, i dont think so. Well done to the Owners

We used to come to this pub regularly around 20 years ago when were on holiday in the Lake District with our parents, the food then was excellent. Now 20 years on and spending another holiday in the area with our parents for a family celebration, my family decided to eat here once more, we were not disappointed! We tried to book the table earlier that day but as there was no answer on the phone, we visited the pub. The staff were very welcoming and said that it would be absolutely no problem to cater for 6 adults, 2 children and 1 baby. There was a wide menu of both starters, mains and desserts and the children were very happy with the children's menu too. Two of the adults had starters and the staff were happy to bring the childrens' meals at the same time. We were all very pleased with the quality of the food, the fish and chips are enormous and very good value! Unfortunately we could not manage a dessert as we were too full! We will definitely return here if we are in the area again.

A group of us stayed nearby for some mountain biking and were really impressed with the friendly atmosphere, warm fire and good effort to provide gluten free options for one of our group - great place, we'll be back in the summer!

We stayed nearby and visited the pub on three evenings. The staff were very friendly and helpful and we particularly enjoyed their music evening when locals came and played instruments and sang. Great fun! The food was served quickly and was traditional pub food with huge portions.Comfortable with log fire. Philip was very good humoured and attentive.

For the last holiday of the year, we, of course, stayed at the usual Crake Valley SiteThis is only a couple of miles from The Red Lion, so we called in most nights to see all our local friends.Steve and Lucy were unfortunately away on holiday, but we were looked after by the very professional Philip. As usual, the beer / wine and food were excellent, the portions being enormousWill be back there in The Spring

Stayed next door to this pub on Lowick Show day, dropped in for a meal.Fabulous food and great atmosphere.Would suggest a visit while in this beautiful area.

Traditional pub in the middle of nowhere - great stop in the middle of the day to replenish energy levels. Not too busy.

Very Enjoyable. Stayed here for over two weeks when working in the area in July. Pleasant pub with friendly and attentive staff. Steve & his wife are making a great attempt at maintaining a village pub atmosphere with a music evening & friendly locals. Used 2 of the 3 rooms which were both comfortable & adequate when working away. Always clean & with fresh biscuits etc. each day. Even bought my wife to stay over a long weekend who was made very welcome by villagers & staff. Good beer & food (excellent beef pie & ditto fish meal). Breakfasts a must. Steve, I hope you have now purchased the Pub from Robinson's. Look forward to a return trip sometime & sample the well kept beers. I will be back. Regards P

The friendliest of pubs, that is profesionaly run by the friendliest of people, great beer, and i would have to say fantastic food the Huge portions are Served piping hot every time from the immaculately clean kitchen, i would challenge anyone to find better Haddock and chips in the whole of the Lakes. The Red Lion Lowick take a bow because you all deserve it, keep up the amazing standards of the quality food you produce on a regular basis, and Thankyou one and all for making our holiday just that bit more special x

Quiet and very friendly pub, I stayed one night b&b recently. Got chatting to the friendly locals. Food was usual pub gayer, excellent beer, this is a traditional quiet place and very authentic.

While on a Stagg do in the lakes last week, we found ourselves on Saturday night in need of something to eat. After a couple of negative responses from other establishments, when we called the Red Lion and asked if 14 of us could role up at short notice for food we weren't very hopeful. The Landlord said he was sure he could manage it though and proved true to his word. Very tasty fish and chips for me, I think we had one of most things on the menu between us and everyone was more than satisfied. Great local beers, friendly staff (despite our high spirits) and very tasty food. All together a great evening out and a pub I would return to if I am in the area again.

My wife and I recently spent the night at the Red Lion on our way up to Wasdale for the weekend.It was exactly what we wanted. Our room was lovely with a great view over the fells from our window, and a nice modern bathroom too. The food in the bar was fantastic and both my Lasagne and my Wifes Fish n Chips were both delicious and also nice large portions. They also had some local Ales on too which were very nice. Breakfast was also very enjoyable, and once again, plenty of it !Steve, the owner, was a very nice chap and the staff were friendly and helpful too. We would recommend the Red Lion to anyone who fancies a trip to a proper Lakeland Inn with some great food and drink, and warm hospitality ! We can't wait to go back !

A group of 20 of us were camping near the Red Lion over the first bank holiday weekend. We started by meeting at the Red Lion for lunch on the Saturday and enjoyed proper pub food done well and a really warm welcome from Steve the landlord - I enjoyed some fantastic Whitby scampi and chips and there was a host of other traditional meals on the menu that looked equally great.We returned the next day, en masse, to use the Red Lion's back room to host a singing lesson and enjoy a second meal of really great simple sandwiches, (fresh prawn, ham off the bone, local cheese), salad and chips which Steve had all ready for us at a really reasonable price too! This was especially welcome given the weather was pretty miserable that weekend and we were able to settle in for the afternoon for a great sing a long - we were kept fuelled after lunch with some brilliant ales on taps, good house wines and delicious hot chocolate.I would definitely go back and next time would look at staying in one of the rooms, whilst I didn't see them, they seemed a great price and also the pub itself is simple but well kept and clean and warm which I am sure is an indicator that the rooms are of similar quality.Thank you Red Lion!

We have just returned from a visit to the lakes on what turned out to be a beautiful Easter break. We popped in to The Red Lion on Good Friday for a lunchtime pint and sandwich whilst we waited for our cottage check in time. Great pub and friendly staff who were very welcoming to a somewhat rowdy and excitable group of 12 adults and 4 dogs! We were so impressed with the service that we booked a table for Sunday evening. The food did not disappoint, the portions were huge and excellent value for money, we would definitely call in again if we were back in the area. Thank you to Stephen for making us all feel so welcome.

Excellent pub a mile off the CW route and well worth the extra 20 min diversion. Lovely rooms, excellent food, a really warm welcome and delicious breakfasts The chef is a treasure ! We would recommend this pub to anyone who wants a good nights sleep, good beer and a belly full of excellent local food. We walked the CW form Carlisle to Ulverston so this was our last night stop over. Can recommend a final drink in Ulverston at the Rose and Crown in Kings Street - a tiny old boozer with an amazing open fire in the right hand snug....and excellent beer and food

The Red Lion has a nice atmosphere, friendly staff and locals, and excellent food. Sadly, being located in something of a backwater, it seems to lack sufficient regular diners. As a result it's superb Sunday Roasts are no longer available. Fortunately, it's a la carte menu offers a good choice of tasty, competitively priced dishes which are cooked to order. We understand that the landlord is about to purchase the Inn; it is to be hoped that he gets all the support he deserves from both local diners and visitors to the Lake District.

I have stopped in the pub and stayed over night on a number of occasions and I have found the food, drink and hospitality to be excellent. However I read with interest the Trip Advisor comment of the 24th August 2013 and I find a number of the comments to distort the facts as I was sat at the table next to the bar as the situation unfolded. I agree there was an error of £30 on the bill, purely an arithmetic error which was acknowledged within minutes with unreserved apologies. I have had ribs on a number of occasions and the meat simply falls off the bone! I agree that there is no salad or veg with this meal but the menu but doesn't say it does come with salad and veg. The meal is so big it comes on two plates! The situation did not take 30 mins to resolve, more like 3 or 4mins. Every time I have stayed there within a few minutes of my meal arriving I get asked is everything ok with the meal. If the pizza was burnt the lady in question could have passed comment but did not.

My wife and i have being holidaying around Coniston for the last few years, and always call in at The Red Lion on the way back to the caravan. We have always found everything to be really good. The staff / beers / food / locals etc etc If you are in the Coniston area, i suggest you call in for a great pint of bitter or a good pub mealTony, Jean and Copper the border collie ! We will be there again last week in October

Reserved a table and things went done fro here. The food was mediocre at best - one daughter had burnt pizza, the other dreadful lasagne, absolutely shocking, I had overdone ribs with no salad or veg, my friends meals were no better. When I asked for the bill I was overcharged by £30 - the staff then refused to believe that they had overcharged us - and it took half an hour to resolve. Never a single apology or any sign that the customer should receive good service - just a bemused bloke behind the bar who clearly couldn't work a basic calculator. The worst bar meal I have ever had. Ever!

Good basic food. Simple bar meals but filling. Local pub for local people, don't think they get many tourists as off the beaten track, however they were very friendly people.

Unexpected great meal at off the beaten track location. Eight adults and five children were catered for without fuss. Staff were great and took children's orders first to avoid delays. Highlights were the BBQ ribs and Cumberland sausage which was served with a huge Yorkshire pudding. Kids lasagne fab, adult veg lasagne even better. Kids ice cream was also eaten by the adults, it was that good. Belgian toffee waffle and chocolate pudding also great. A great find.

Stayed over night to cycle around coniston water . Twin room very nice, clean well presented, plenty of tea and coffee with lovely en-suite . Breakfast excellent and hosts very welcoming . Would highly recommend .

We had booked a table for 10 of us for a family reunion. Very friendly greeting when we arrived on a very wet day indeed. The whole back room had been reserved for us, which was great. The menu, although perhaps not adventurous, was great value. And the food was all homemade and well cooked. My chilli con carne, was really nicely spiced and the chocolate pudding was to die for. Everyone enjoyed the dishes they ordered. The dog was allowed to wander around, getting attention from the locals. A great location and family lunch on an otherwise miserable day. Ticked all the boxes.
