The Stan Laurel Inn in South Lakeland

Amazing food, tasty and excellent quality with large portion sizes. Ordered a variety of starters, mains and deserts and every dish was fantastic. Next time we visiting the area this will be our go to for food. Staff were really friendly and we were made to feel very welcome.

I’ve eaten here with friend's on many occasions, always enjoyed the food immensely, the staff really do all they can to make you feel special and happy, Trudy Paul Vicky and Loyd ( and Staff ) have a great sense of humour, he typical pub banter makes the Stan Laurel one of the very best places to Eat Laugh Drink and make happy memories 🌈🤩😊oh and Doggy friendly with treats at the Bar 😊

Stayed here for two nights in March. We were made to feel very welcome by all the staff who were all efficient, friendly and warm. The food was amazing quality and they have a great selection of good wines and real ales. Our room was perfectly adequate for our needs and was clean and tidy. Breakfast was great too with fresh bread and locally sourced produce. The owners Trudi and Paul run a very efficient pub/and hotel and I have no hesitation in recommending the Stan Laurel inn.

Second time I've stayed here. Both times were excellent - great food and atmosphere, provided by excellent hosts. Highly recommend for a stay or meal - or both!

We booked an early dinner on Friday night based on the reviews on here. We were in Ulverston to see a show at The Coro and this was ideal as it was within walking distance. We had a lovely warm welcome when we arrived, the food was delicious and there were plenty of options. There was a lovely atmosphere and all the staff were excellent. We would have no hesitation in going back if we hisit Ulverston again.

We visited here at the start of March as we were staying in Ulverston. Decided to try this place for our evening meal and booked in advance as it was a Saturday night. We were glad we did as the restaurant was full and seemed popular with the locals. We were very impressed. The staff were excellent and welcoming and the menu had great variety and was reasonably priced. I had homemade lasagne which was really tasty and my partner had giant Yorkshire pudding with sausages which was also excellent. The portion sizes were also very good. The homemade chips were very tasty. We would definitely recommend and are due to be in Ulverston again in the Autumn so will aim to return when we visit then. Thankyou!

The best pub meal in the Lakes. Great food, good quality ingredients, v reasonable priced. We both had homemade lasagne which was so tasty& the veg was superb v fresh& great selection. Staff were v welcoming &pub ambience great. When we visit Ulverston we would not go anywhere else. Never disappointed.Long May this pub thrive. Highly recommend.

Home cooked and freshly made food served in great sized portions by friendly and welcoming staff. I can highly recommend. It’s dog friendly and has a good hand pulled beers range and a wood burning stove, or two! I will return when in the area again.

A friend kindly took me out for lunch at this pub that she highly recommended. I'm not usually a pub person, but this one surprised me with its safe, laid back, homely style. The food was superb with a good range of classics, plus a bit more excitement. I had the South African bobotie, which I hadn't eaten since I lived there 38 years ago. It tasted exactly as I remembered it, and the owner told me they had learnt the recipe from SA staff with whom they still keep in touch, which showed a really nice employment style too. Will definitely be back soon.

The food and service here are amazing! I'd highly recommend the fisherman's pie 🥹

Traditional and a lovely place to get homemade food. Log burner in bar area, very cosy and friendly atmosphere This was our second visit to Ulverston.

As soon as we walked in we felt welcome and comfortable. We sat on cosy settees around a beautiful log burning stove to have our pre dinner drinks . Although our table was booked for 6-30pm we didn’t sit down at our table until 7pm- it was so lovely in front of the fire . We weren’t rushed to our table - and as a result felt so relaxed and at ease . It’s s gorgeous pub- full of character with beams and very friendly owners and staff. The menu was extensive with an excellent specials board including individual filled Yorkshire puddings - which my husband declared absolutely delicious. We really can’t fault this place : excellent food , good local beer , friendly staff, great value for money and an excellent ambiance. If you haven’t been before - please go. You won’t be disappointed.

Had yet another great meal last night. We often come to this lovely pub where you will be met by the most wonderful welcoming staff. The food choice is very large and there is always a good special board. This Stan laurel is a friend pub and it's dog friendly as well for well behaved dogs. And I must say it's great value for money as well. Plus these cold winter nights there a woodburning stove with leather sofas to sit on after your meal.

Lovely place. Booked online and had great communication with them, welcome was very friendly, atmosphere was cosy for a chilly January night and food was delicious. Thank you.

Great food, 4 of us really enjoyed our meals and puddings, very tasty. Will be returning very soon.

Warm and friendly atmosphere food was excellent

didnt stay but everything is spot on the food is bloody tasty beer is good great atmosphere great local pub

Tasty food, good service, and friendly staff. Highly recommend.

Great food Chicken and Leek Pie with fresh veg..and staff were excellent. Will return.

Fantastic evening at The Stan Laurel Inn. A friendly welcome from the Trudi and Paul. Thank you and your team for a wonderful time. Delicious food, relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommended. Thank you

I went here when visiting family, we were greeted with a very warm welcome from all staff. There was a wide selection of food and drinks to satisfy all needs, the food portions were very generous! (2 of the five of us actually struggled to clear their plates) The cost of the meal also reflected this! A very nice family run pub! It certainly won't be the last time myself or my relatives will be visiting!

Went for a meal with my partner last minute, and we weren't disappointed. The atmosphere was nice and cosy and the staff were very attentive. Lovely place a proper hidden gem can't believe I've never been before. And the prices are amazing especially for the quality of food. I'll definitely be returning and telling people to come 😌

Fantastic food! The lady with the blonde hair (sorry I’m not sure of her name) who served us was very welcoming. Such a cozy place! Definitely will be back Thank you ☺️

Great pub. Fantastic staff who know their locals and welcomed my son and I who went there for the first time. Ive been in a few pubs in Ulverston, this is the best

Great pub grub matched with welcoming staff

Visited on Tuesday night and found a real hidden gem of a pub with good food and great staff. Despite the name it's not a touristy pub and the vibe is of a relaxed, cozy local pub. We had the seabream special which was served on crushed potatoes and the sausage and mash, both came with a big side portion of seasonal veg. Superb meal, didn't have to wait long and it tasted fantastic. Huge portions but we still managed to find room for pud. Well worth a visit if you're ever in Ulverston.

Visited with family earlier this week. Fantastic food, great service, very reasonable prices and a lovely atmosphere. Will definitely visit again.

Had evening dinner here midweek, a wonderful hidden gem. Great service from staff, a good range of very nice ales and the food is brilliant. Menu includes some pub favourites and they also have some daily specials. Very tasty food, good portions if you have a big appetite and all for a very reasonable price.

Excellent food and drink great choice of ale

Good service from pleasant staff, well kept real ales and really nice food.

Lovely food, the black pudding is to die for. Brilliant staff who fitted us in although we had not booked, would go back again if we revisited Ulverston

Good food, nothing special, limited menu of typical pub classics, tasted good. Great service. Friendly staff.

Went for a lovely meal booked a table Tuesday for Wednesday there was no problem getting us in my partner had their famous fish and chips I had their chicken and leek pie all was homemade excellent we even had room for pudding banoffe pie value for money excellent staff friendly would recommend a visit 5*

Lovely place, lovely hosts and lovely food

Lovely welcome when arrived. Great choice of local hand pulled ales. I’d recommend the Pink Elephant 😊. We’d booked a table for 5 adults and a baby and a dog and were tucked away in a corner with plenty of room and a high chair waiting for us. One of the reasons we chose the pub was it had sausage and mash on the menu and those in our family that chose that were not disappointed. 3 plump sausages, lots of creamy mash and great gravy. All in all a lovely meal in a lovely pub with lovely attentive staff. I would thoroughly recommend

Warm welcome, happy friendly staff and fantastic food, an all round great evening. Every seat taken, it says it all.

Service was absolutely incredible. Lots of gluten free options, they even had gluten free specials. Food was amazing and priced fairly.

After visiting the Laurel and Hardy museum we had booked a meal at the Stan Laurel Inn, so glad we did as the staff were so lovely and the food was amazing. The Stokes family

Nice quite tucked location of the former Brittania Inn aptly renamed The Stan Laurel Inn. An excellent selection of local beers from Ulverston Brewery; almost the brewery tap. The food menu is also excellent and the staff will go our of their way to make bespoke snacks too. Stan Laurel's House is worth a peek. Only 3 streets away down Chapel Street.

Fab home cooked food friendly staff will definitely return

Home cooked food at a very high standard we had seafood pancake with fresh salad and pork forestiere with delicious chips and salad Staff very friendly will return soon

We booked, and I'm glad, as it was busy with it being a Friday. Super care was taken with our orders, as we had one vegan and one with a gluten intolerance. They couldn't have been more helpful. Had a cracking meal, incl starters, mains and puds, all up to an excellent standard. Coffee was super too. Would definitely return

Lovely lunch at the Stanley with good friends. Service was extremely good and food really well presented. Added bonus of being able to have our dog with us. I had a prawn salad with fresh new potatoes, it was colourful and very tasty with no shortage of prawns. Friend said his Fisherman’s pie was to be recommended as was the salmon. Nice quiet atmosphere and we will certainly return when next in Ulverston.

A very friendly pub serving great food & ales. No wonder it's busy.

Great food absolutely massive portions lovely little find. Called in on the off chance and was soon seated and presented with the menu and spoilt for choice. We opted for the prawn salad and the Mexican chilli and when the dishes were brought to the table both of our jaws hit the table and our eyes popped at the sheer size of the plates of food before us. Absolutely gorgeous food we were both so full we couldn’t even imagine having a dessert. Well done guys. 100% value for money and way cheaper than what we’re used to paying at home

Lovely food, atmosphere and friendly staff

Went to this pub feeling it would be full of memorbellia, but not the case. The food looked great, but not tables available sadly.

Fantastic food and local ales . Very friendly staff

A very cosy pub with restaurant. Very welcoming and friendly staff. And the meals are just amazing! I had pepperpot chicken and hubby had steak and ale pie. Both served with chunky chips and veg. Served piping hot and absolutely delicious. Highly recommended.

Wow what a meal! Great pub and great location. Staff really friendly...

Amazing food, fabulous service.

Food was amazing, particularly loved the chips, large portions of food, lovely ambience and clean and nice staff.

What a lovely meal. Real pub food , really tasty and proper portions!! I had lasagne and then apple crumble and custard. Delicious! Highly recommend if you are in Ulverston.

Lovely friendly staff. Great food, best chips we ever had.

The Stan Laurel Inn is a lovely pub just a couple of hundred yards from the small terraced house in which he was born in 1890. The house is in Argyle Street and has a plaque on the wall, so is easy to spot. The pub is a really cosy place with real fire, exposed ceiling beams, old wooden pillars and the like. It is furnished in traditional style and, as you might suspect, is full of Laurel and Hardy memorabilia. Rather than being touristy, this is obviously a local pub and the atmosphere was relaxed and very nice. The service and ales were also top class and this is easily one of the best pubs in Ulverston.

I actually do love this pub but unfortunately last night 10/3/23 I arrived at 20:25 after booking into my B&B ,hoping for a bite to eat and a few drinks as I’d been travelling since 12:00 and was very hungry, was very disappointed to be told the kitchen was shut even though there was sign’s everywhere saying food til 21:00.the chef was still on site I saw him leave at 21:10 so I’m sure he could have tussled something up there’s nothing on the menu that would take a long time to cook and to be honest if he’d have given me a limited choice I would have accepted that , but instead I ended up with a few drinks and some nuts from the bar. It did say the owners where away in annual leave so It’s not there fault, other than that a lovely pub with a good ambience and menu just a shame I couldn’t try it.

Had a lovely meal here at a great price with very friendly staff. Highly recommend

Even though I phoned at the last minute on valentine's night, they fitted me and my 3 children in, with no worries. When we arrived, all staff were friendly and welcoming. All seemed very happy there. Other customers were friendly too, and had a chat with me and my children. The food was amazing, and very filling. There was a good variety of choice, so something for everyone. And everything went down a treat! Thank you for a great experience!

Probably the best pub style dining experience I've ever witnessed! A truly warm and inviting welcome from the most beautiful landlady and her staff made me feel so comfortable from the start, followed by delicious home cooked food which would be awarded Michelin stars at any larger establishment completed a unique night I'll never forget. Wow! Very busy as the locals obviously know where the quality is, so I advise booking early to avoid disappointment.

Relaxed and traditional surroundings to enjoy excellent food in and a good selection of ales.

Always good food and really lovely staff

Brilliant prices, a bit out of the way and the beer was in good nick. Busy - but then at the prices they're charging I'm not surprised! Had a beer and then continued on our way. Pub 1 on our annual Ulverston pub crawl.

Visited on my birthday ( same day as Oliver hardy) it would have been rude not to,wow we were not disappointed unbelievable food outstanding service and a fantastic pub with a roaring fire. Would love to say that’s another fine mess but sadly it was out of this world. Treat yourself the place is a gem. Staff brilliant

Visted yesterday for the first time but definately not the last. Lovely surroundings, very helpful staff who went through the menu in detail as one of us was gluten free and the other dairy free. All four meals arrived at the table piping hot, with fresh vegetables and we all agreed the food was very tasty. Everything about our visit was excellent. We have found a gem of a place in our home town.

What a gem of a place lovely and cosy with the log fire staff and locals very friendly will come again

Very homely pub. Portion sizes are so generous it takes me 2 weeks to finish a meal

My favourite restaurant in the area! I’m obsessed with the chicken pepper pot, it’s a meal that isn’t on any other pub menu I’ve ever seen! It’s so full of flavour and lean chicken, comes with fresh vegetables and I honestly cannot fault it. It’s a firm favourite throughout my family too. My boyfriend loves the black pudding starter and everyone who’s had a meal there says how delicious it is! They also have some amazing desserts! And the quaint cottage pub feel with laurel and hardy imagery is just so sweet

Perfect pub meal every time, and great with dogs :)

Nice little pub. Little expensive compared to other places in Ulverston and many other places we have visited. £8.90 for pint and a half of San Miguel.

Looked for an overnight stay in Ulverston and found the Stan Laurel thank goodness! Local pub full of character with great food drinks and service. An absolute pleasure to deal with from start to finish - nothing was too much trouble with warmth and friendliness...

Local pub with character, warmth and friendliness in abundance. The whole experience from booking, to checking in, to ordering drinks and meals was an absolute delight! The room was basic but had everything that was required for a comfortable stay and all the staff, from mine hosts to catering, we're approachable, friendly and professional. Nothing was too much trouble and the food, drink and service were all first class. The room was half the price of anywhere else in Ulverston. I can't recommend the Stan Laurel too highly - if you're visiting Ulverston, or the Lakes in general, then give them a call-you won't regret it.

Lovely staff, lovely value for money food, great choice the specials board is brilliant, the only problem is what to order

Amazing food, very reasonable prices, lovely staff. What more can one say? Good-sized helpings so probably best to go for two curses rather than three!!

Great pub good food and very friendly staff

Absolutely fabulous Trudy and her staff were amazing they could not do enough for us I would recommend it to you x

Good pub food and good service by friendly staff. only bit of advice f like us on holiday check opening times before going and if poss book a table. but well worth it

1st time we had been, we went exploring after visiting Stan's house and the museum. We were recommend to eat there. So glad we did the food was lovely.

Very good. Service good. Staff friendly. Food was very good. Would recommend and will definitely return.

I ordered one of the specials on the board- a rack of ribs. They were good but coated in too much sauce. The side salad had a unique flavor and I enjoyed having something different like that.

Excellent food, service and atmosphere.

Great evening here meal was fantastic, service great and staff extremely friendly would highly recommend.

Some of the best food we have ever eaten. The hardest thing was what to choose to eat! Great menu. Service from the staff was second to none in what clearly was a busy resurant. Great value too.

Good food /service with a smile

Looked at loads of pubs in Ulverston for an evening meal with our dog. Reviews were good so decided to book a table here. We weren't disappointed the food was excellent, service great and really friendly staff. Will definitely go back when we next visit...

Great pub, great food,great service.

Lovely friendly pub excellent meals and great bar staff highly recommend 👌

This truly fantastic pub. Very friendly staff and wonderful food. If you are visiting the Ulverston area, this is a must!!!.

Great pub, friendly staff,clean and well run.

Good hardy food, friendly staff and good choice of beers. The menu here is good and there are a number of specials that are very good and different . Staff are very friendly and give very good service, overall an excellent choice for a meal out

Went unannounced and they kindly accommodated the 5 of us. Excellent service, friendly & professional. The food we had was fantastic, proper homecooked food, would definitely recommend and would return 100% next time I'm in the area. Keep up the good work, thank you.

Ended up in Ulverston just trying to charge car after a long day and tried here as the first place we came across. Luckily they had a table free. Pub is a nice traditional English pub, good selection of beers and real ales etc. Laurel...

Bit disappointed with the lasagna it was really salty tasted like a full bottle of salt was poured in wasn't worth £12 at all

Amazing food and brilliant, very friendly service. Would highly recommend eating here.

Excellent food and friendly staff.
