If you're in the area you must try this place, the flat iron steaks are delicious. Service is fairly quick and polite and the atmosphere is good... it's a good idea to book a table because it's very popular with the local people....This restaurant did close down and I'm not sure if it's still closed.

Not eaten there for a very long time but was was always average, the owner likes to keep the tips left for staff so don’t bother tipping... not sure if it is still open as he has gone bankrupt so many times

closed down for the second time not that long ago was closed for refurbishment. When we visited food was ok but why oh why do they allow young children the run of the place to spoil the meal experience. I have nothing against well behaved children eating out with their families.

Lovely pub near Scales in South Lakes. Brilliant food and drink selection. The pub is in a very rural area but is worth trying out. Tuesday's are offer days but the menu is extremely good value anyway if you don't see something you fancy.

We have used the Stagger regularly for a while but have only been twice since the menu change, refurbishment and new cutlery (about time). Don’t you just hate it when your fork bends when you spear a lump of meat?

Decided to go for a meal not long after it re-opened. We were disappointed with the new menu, there was not as much choice and the meals we were looking forward to are no longer on the menu . Service was very slow but on the plus side the refurb is very nice

I went back to one of my favourite places to find it had changed hands. I was so shocked to find a very poor choice, long waits for service and that was for soup, with only 10 people in total dining there.

The Stagger has improved since the last time we visited with more mature menu, better presentation and better lighting in the dining room. The service was a little slow but given the quality of the rest of the experience, this did not detract from an enjoyable visit.

The Stagg Inn, Dufton. We were there Wednesday, 14 November. It Opened 4pm. At front of pub signs says welcomes walkers. Had 2 nice coffees @ £4. Cheese onion Crisps around cost 1.60. Nice warm fire in pub. Good pub for local people I guess this time of year. Thank you for being open.

Gave this place a second chance as original visit was less than perfect. Meal was disappointing but waiting on staff were very nice. When I went to pay they said the computers were down and they couldn’t honour it. Miles to drive to the nearest cash machine. This should have been made clear on arrival to give people the option of staying or not. next time I will simply go to restaurant in town to save any issue.

The stagger has always been a favourite of ours, but we haven’t been for some time. We were so pleased to see the revamp and the new menu gave a good choice. Food was delicious and staff very attentive. Shame lasagne is no longer on the menu. Service great, food lovely. Still the old gripe about the loud background music,but that’s just me I think. Great meal. Thank you.

Pleased to see the refurbishment, makes the whole place lighter, and they have put a layer of gravel over the path outside. Just a thought, maybe they could have a disabled parking spot, it can be a trek from the road. The menu has been updated, lots of choice, less choices of wines. Two of us had the roast beef Sunday lunch, I had the steak ale and blue cheese pie. French onion soup is nice to see on a menu but I must admit I have had better. The pie was very nice with lovely chips and a little pot of gravy, the roast beef was a little disappointing, standard sliced beef, only average in taste, strange to see that the child’s portion, for a lot less than half the price, had the same amount of beef, Yorkshire pud, one less roast spud and a dollop of dauphinois instead of veg, that looks a good deal. Disappointed to see that drought Peroni is no longer available. Sorry Stagger but there were a few things we fancied from the normal menu so will probably be back.

So I've been to Stagger Inn on other times in the past and it's been great but I want on Sunday 4th of Nov to celebrate my birthday with my parents. As I walk in, it was busy I get that. I ask for a table for 3 and the waitress said it's going to be an 30mins wait and I was like yeah that's okay. So we sat down. I understand how busy it was when we got there, I was a waitress for 3 years at the Brown Cow. They took a while to get a drinks order and also a food order too. So the waiter came over to us and said to us "I'm so sorry about the wait, as you can tell we have been busy tonight and we haven't put the mains in so it's going to be another 15mins, can I get you anything like a snacks at all". He suggested olives to us, mate do I look like the type of person who eat olives, get gone. I said "do you have anything else at all" he said "we can offer us some chips", yeah that's great. I looked at my phone and I realise it's been 2 hours, it's good that we was talking to each other but at this point I was so hungry and so was my parents too. He came out with a small portion of chips that we need to share between the 3 of us, it was a joke. So like 15mins later, we got our mains. I can tell my mum fish is over done because you can tell by the colour of the batter. I've try some of it and I can tell, it spoilt it. I had cheese and leek pie and it come with gravy but it didn't turn up but the witness did told me it was coming. It was an small portion like a hand full of chips, salad and red cabbage and a small pie, I must have eat it in mins I was too hungry don't too and I didn't care if I burn my month. I realise they ask you is everything is ok at the end of the meals, I don't get why they do that, it doesn't make sense to me. I realise both of the waitress was wearing nail polish and fake nails. I don't know how she can work in fake nails, they was long as. I know you are not allowed to wear them because you are still handling food and it's health and safety if one of them fall off and landed in someone food and they don't realise it, they probably start choking on it. It's just common sense for god sake. If I did that, you will get pull up of it and the manager, will ask you to pull them off or use nail remover, poor leaderships. I was so disappointed. At the end, I was like lets get the hell out of here, I tried of waiting. I was so tried at the end of the night.

The afternoon tea was outstanding, not the usual sandwiches and cakes but a giant 3 tier platter of hot and cold food which included mini burgers, huge homemade scotch eggs, pulled pork rolls, ham terrine, cheese scones, bacon jam, pigs in blankets, cakes and cake pops served with a glass of fizz. The decor is beautiful with a warm rustic country pub feel and the staff are welcoming and attentive. We will definitely be back.

Un local mío y visitó de forma regular. La comida siempre ha sido buena, bien de precio y la cerveza y la comida presentadas por un personal excelente, Avalino, James, Stu. . . por mencionar algunos. Recibido recientemente por alguien de Stockport, ¿quizás una relación de Steve D? La revisión de Steve D es una vergüenza y un insulto para todas las personas que trabajaron allí antes de hacerse cargo y la conversión de The Farmers a la posada escalonada. El menú ha cambiado para peor, es caro y no volveré.

Went here for Sunday dinner and I was disappointed with the food quality and the overall price we paid, quantity of food was small and the 2 toast potatoes we got where over cooked and hard, my young son wanted a pizza and when it came it was only small on cost £11 by itself, I’ve been here countless times over the years and it’s not as good as it use to be, I’d rather drive to tobey carvery in morecambe than have a Sunday roast here, I must say though that the staff are very polite and the service was fast. Just the food and the cost let the restaurant down,

The Stagger Inn has so much going for it. The location and beer garden, on a sunny day / evening, the beautifully restored interior, the well trained and attentive staff, but the food lets the place down. There`s nothing wrong with the food, it`s just that some of the stuff of the menu, is quite dull and tasteless. We went as a family and the starter of ( salt and pepper squid ) was better than all of the mains - Macaroni cheese, Gnocchi and flat bread ( pizza ). They were just all a bit dull and didn`t really taste of much. Maybe we just had the wrong things on this occasion ?. The two young girls who looked after us couldn`t be faulted, as was the cask ale on tap, Swan Blonde. We just left feeling a bit underwhelmed by the food.

I've just finished another meal at the stagger inn. My first with the new menu and the first ever visit for the other people I ate with. There were four adults and one grumpy 1 year old. The very polite front of house staff were quick to take our drinks and then food orders. For starters, I only tasted the calamari and the halloumi. They were both amazing especially the halloumi. Everyone else said the same about theirs as well (soup and garlic mushrooms). The kids fish and chips we ordered came out just after the starters (the perfect time in my opinion) and was one of the best kids meals I've seen! Freshly battered fish, not the frozen rubbish often served for children's portions.

Booked a table for 6 people at 4:00pm. When we arrived was greeted by the manager and taken to our table. Our drinks order was taken and we decided to go for the specials menu today. We tried the scallops and the chicken salad. Both starters were amazing. We then had the lamb for our main. Very soft and tender meat. We were full but still managed to try out the new dessert menu which had the chocolate pot ( very rich but yummy). Cannot wait to return to see what other ideas the chef has got up his sleeve.

We all enjoyed our meals - no complaints at all. Looking forward to visiting again when next up in Cumbria.

Needed a quick evening meal and popped in here early pm. Quite busy and we probably should have booked. We were served promptly. The steaks were delicious but we were disappointed the steaks no longer came with mushroom, tomato etc. The battered fish was a bit soggy and greasy and not so good. Still ok for a reasonably priced quick meal.

Haven’t visited the Stagger Inn for many years but recently had a meal there with a group of friends. Staff were pleasant and the atmosphere is nice, if a little dimly lit. Food took forever to arrive - best part of an hour. Nobody even thought to come over to let us know there was a delay. Drinks service was hit and miss - a couple of ordered drinks never arrived at all and coffees took a very long time to materialize. Food was ok when it arrived. I ordered a flatbread - edible but nothing exciting and wouldn’t rush back. It was a bit wet/oily and the vegetables on the soggy side. Just expected a bit more for £11. Would have been better value if we were in time for the 2 for 1 menu. Had the creme brûlée for dessert which was actually very good. We enjoyed our evening but felt there were better places to eat locally.

Came here and ordered the goats cheese for starter and when it came it was still frozen inside!!! I then ordered the mozzarella and oregano pizza which came out with no oregano or mozzarella just plain cheese and tomatoes. For the second time that evening we had to call someone over! Then the manager stood there arguing with me saying it was what I ordered!! But when I pointed out there wasn’t a herb in sight he eventually took it back to rectify the problem!! Ridiculous service, I have never been s embarrassed in all my life from all the other customers staring !!! Will definitely not be returning!!!!

Meeting with family for a meal, this was clearly the perfect choice. The lovely surroundings, stone walls and candles create a very relaxing and cosy atmosphere.We ordered starters and mains and I was way to full to order dessert.The wine choices were good and the service was fabulous. The staff were very attentive and more than willing to ensure we had everything we needed. We were regularly checked on to see if we were okay or needed anything else. The music could have done with being played a little lower as it was quite loud where we were sat.Would definitely return again in our next visit to the lakes.

Some difficulty locating the pub using google maps but once there we enjoyed a good value meal. Not a huge choice of beers but sufficient for a meal. Busy but probably due to it being nice with good food.

Having eaten here many times in the evening for dinner, booked lunch for me & ex work colleague - not disappointed. A nice quiet table allowing plenty of easy discussion and very enjoyable 3 course lunch. Can highly recommend and will return for both lunch & dinner in the future.

Have been a few times to this restaurant. There is nothing not to like. Great staff and service, good selection of beers and extensive menu of food. I would recommend the steaks - really nice. If you're in the area then definitely worth a visit.

Had a family meal Monday evening. Food was of a good quality, staff efficient and friendly. There were plenty of choices on the 2 for 1 offer. We were disappointed on our last visit, a few months ago, but understand that there had been a change of chef. Everything tonight was back to their normal standard and we will be happy to return.

On the plus side these guys have Peroni on draught. So worth going for this alone.Also love the decor nice low lighting and the service was great.My starter the scallops with chorizo sounded fab but was disappointing. Scallops were tiny and the chorizo overcooked.However my partner had garlic mushrooms and loved them.For mains we had the burger ( great ) and scampi ( so so )Desert was cheesecake and sticky toffee pudding. Loved the cheesecake but was tiny portion for a big bloke.Overall I'd say try it you might like it.

I visit the lakes twice a year for 2 weeks to see aging family. Invariably we have a few visits to the Stagger Inn, its now become our favorite family restaurant. The quality and selection is at the upper end of pub food. There is the usual pub food selection, fish and chips; pie and peas, and some unusual variations - Black Pudding and Steak pie - great... However my favorite is the Lamb Henry, lamb shoulder with a wine sauce on top of mashed potatoes.The main restaurant in the old section is quaint, the two tables by the fireplace are romantic, and the new section tends to be noisy with family gatherings. So a little ambiance for everybody.

Very pleased after a last minute visit to the Stagger Inn as a group of 10. We were quite a few vegetarians and this is one of the only places I've seen locally that has a good selection of tasty dishes. Very pleased!

Took father in law for his 85th birthday meal, left feeling really disappointed. The service was really poor,very slow, took just under an hour for starters to arrive, mains took a long time too, didn't hang around for dessert! One of the meals was wrong. We have had issues the past couple of times we have been, similar to this, thought we would try again but it really wasn't good. Needless to say we won't be going back.

I wanted somewhere to take my family who were visiting from London. included in our party were several young men with healthy appetites and I knew from previous experience that the Stagger Inn would do the job. The food as always was good quality, and the wide variety of dishes on the menu meant there would be something to tempt everyone including a couple of vegetarians ,a fish lover and an 8 year old. We were not disappointed Thank you to all the staff at the Stagger inn.

Went there last night for a meal with friends having heard excellent reviews. Enjoyable meal with good service but overall disappointed with the food. Starters were good, but not all available. Tasty and good portion size. We had gammon, lamb shank and 2 rib eye steaks all of which were good, but not great. One steak was thick and juicy, but rare not medium, whilst the other was thin and tough and very over cooked for medium. The gammon looked lovely and was well cooked, but was very thinly sliced for gammon and the mash was very lumpy with the lamb. I now appreciate that it is more an Italian and we should have gone for those off the menu, but the price of the main meals did not justify the quality.

Really lovely Sunday lunch in a pleasant and informal setting with a pretty view out over the river. The young people waiting on were really helpful and attentive.

Visited the Unicorn on a Sunday evening, after pre booking. Mimi very nice and helpful but not only was it decided to close at 8.00 but only Sunday lunch was offered- one course and no price list. Please note any information regarding pricing on website relates to previous owners and is well out of date. One course is in fact £17.95, not the £18.95 for two courses quoted on the website. The actual meal was the worst Sunday lunch we have ever had and it was only possible to eat much of it with the aid of a steak knife, normal knives failing to get through the fat and gristle. Roast potatoes were so hard they must have been held over from lunch time. We were given a round of drinks to compensate us for the poor meal but this did not really compensate us fairly for a very substandard meal which spoilt our first night in Ambleside. We will not be back

Used to be a little bit different, a little bit higher quality in ingredients and in beer offerings. Now it’s just the same downgrade Peroni to Nastro etc. Save a few pence but turns the product into the same as everywhere else instead of that small cut above. Such a shame.

Had a lovely Caramel nutcracker Hot Chocolate, which they are able to make with soya milk and soya whipped cream! Staff were friendly and helpful! Nice quiet and calm environment to sit in.
