Good beer, good food, good prices. Unassuming country pub, to start we had brie wedges (unreal!), the game pie and the rump steak. Both were very generous portion sizes, cooked nicely. No issues with service contrary to other reviews. Our dog was welcome too.

Not been for ages and Trip Advisor suggested hit and miss so was pleased to find food and service was great. I had the Englishman’s Delight - I’ll let you research it - which was delicious, and others had the roasts which went down a treat. Wish I could have partaken in some ales or wine but was driving.

We prebooked this Restaurant/Pub before going to the Lakes as was close to where we were staying for our first night. Have to say we were impressed. Staff, service, and food were exceptional. The environment being an old building added to the experience so much so we went back on our last night and again did not disappoint. Will definitely go back on our next visit to the lakes.

We booked a lunchtime meal and when we arrived the place was shut and nobody made contact with us to let us know. They had our email address and mobile number so common courtesy would have been to inform us. Still haven't been contacted. When to the countryman pub at Lamplugh a couple of miles away and had a fabulous meal. Won't be going back to the royal yew because if that's how they treat customers, they don't deserve custom.

Been going to the Yew for 20 years and seen many changes in the management The menu is now just pub grub. It’s usually good. Unfortunately this time the food was not so good. The chicken was very tough and rubbery. It seemed like it had been warmed up. The turkey dinner which is usually good was poor, except the turkey which was good. The roast potatoes were like the frozen ones heated up, the Yorkshire pudding was hard and uneatable. The pub is attractive. The staff friendly.

Amazing amazing, amazing, lovely little gem, great service and food. The wife had the game pie, and I had the cow pie 🥧 only the half. There was no way I could eat the full one and it was full packet with tender beef we were that full we never had room for a sweet. Staff are great polite and very attentive.

Previously visited and always felt that it was a place for a special occasion……. now just the same as many of the pubs in the area. Surprisingly the gammon was served with coleslaw. The coleslaw was OK but not something that should be paired with gammon. Vegetables would have been more suitable.

Good food. Great portion sizes. Unfortunately the service was terrible. It took 30 minutes before anyone even came to take a drinks order, it was 1hr 10 mins after our booking time that we were actually eating. And then, when we weren't finished, we were told they were shutting and we needed to leave!

Lovely rustic food with excellent portion sizes. We really enjoyed the atmosphere too, but really let down by the service.. I was close to giving this 3 stars. Half a hour wait to be asked for our order. An hour before we got the food. I had to go prompt for a dessert menu after another long wait and again get up and prompt for them to come and take our dessert menu. The attention to customers from the staff was pretty poor and put a bit of a dampener on our experience.

Top drawer cow pie. I am a huge eater and the full cow pie was too big for me (I did eat it all, but only because I am stubborn).

Had been this restaurant once before in March 2023 and it was wonderful. Absolutely spectacular. There half a cow pie was delicious and their Brie wedges mouthwatering. However this time was dreadful. The starters was cateright’s finest selection of cheap country rage frozen. My girlfriend had the Lebanese flat bread and it’s salt and pepper chicken. Both come frozen from one of Cumbria’s biggest food suppliers and was dreadful. The tempura veg was straight out of a packet and more like buttermilk and greasy… Deserts the brownie tasted like just flower? There is more moisture in flower if I’m honest. Cheesecake had freezer sweat. (Beads of water running down from where it had been frozen) cremebrule was actually tasteful.. I know a lot of people read trip advisor reviews and take them with a pinch of salt but, I’m a chef and have raved over this place since my first visit and have been gasping to get back. You can imagine my disappointment. I’d also like to say it’s my first review…

Been coming here for many years. The food is good. Lots of choice. New management havent really changed the atmosphere thankfully. Staff are efficient. The number of dogs in the eating areas does question the hygiene of the place. It would be better if dogs were restricted to the bar area. Parking is tricky at weekends.

When we arrived they spotted that one of our party was using crutches so they swapped us to a table closer to the entrance. Very thoughtful. We all had Roast dinners, I had beef and half of my wife’s turkey. Both were delicious, plenty on the plate and a big dish of veg, including cauliflower cheese. Great food, good service and excellent value. We will be back.

Burgers, Moving Mountains Vege burger with proper chips and pork for mains.
