The Stan Laurel Inn in South Lakeland

Great meal I very busy restaurant.

Stayed in the apartment first time, excellent service. I required the room om Monday (pub is closed) and Trudi came to give me keys for the apartment. Very friendly, nice food available and the apartment was perfect. Highly recommend .

Nice friendly local, Staff were very helpful, food was great

Trudi, the proprietor, is so lovely. Visiting from the South, 10 months since the last time and she remembered us. Great food. Homely hospitality. Such kind staff. Until we return….

A lovely pint served in this establishment. Staff great.

Nice place good food The service is very good. Short distance from town centre,buses and trains .Would. Definitely Recommend this inn. Excellent.

Excellent food, with fantastic service and warm, welcoming environment

Nice pub in Ulverston. Go for the lasagne with Stilton and salad. Yummy!

Proper, great tasting homemade food at an even better price!! Popped in for an evening meal whilst staying in the area and wasn't disappointed. There were 3 of us and although we hadn't booked in advance it wasn't a problem. Lots of choice on the menu (classic and pub favourites) but went for the fisherman's pie which was delicious followed by crumble and custard. Good portion size and both came in under £20! Can't comment on the rooms as didn't stay but pub was clean and welcoming with a good range of drinks. Worth a visit if staying in the area or passing through

So after reading the reviews it was a pub of choice for me and my friends, the youngest being 50, the eldest 63. We were told quite bluntly that no large groups would be served here (6of us). Well so much for northern hospitality, we went and spent our money elsewhere. 😡

Zero stars from me,was on a tour of the lakes and dales,stayed at the premier inn ulverston which I must say is a great place to stay, Was refused a drink in the stan laurel because I was with a group of 6 other guys,reason was we don't serve groups!! We wasn't rowdy at all ,our age group was 50 to 64! On a sightseeing weekend on 2 wheels, jus wanted a couple of pints and a chat!!!. Found some lovely and more friendly pubs just up the road. My advice is steer clear of the stan laurel inn and go further up the road you'll get a far better reception

Go here for food. You will not be disappointed. My son even gave the kind lady who served us a hug because she was so kind.

Had a lovely meal here….cheese and broccoli bake was amazing. Hubby had Steak pie and said it was delicious. Thank you 🤩

Lovely pub, food and staff. Would highly recommend

I was looking for somewhere for us to have tea online to book. I knew I would have to book somewhere and glad I did. I used Trip Advisor to help find this place and used the reviews. We were going to use the trains to navigate our way around this long weekend away unfortunately the train drivers decided we needed to drive! The food was great. They even have a cask beer named after Stan Laurel which was good and I wasn't surprised when the staff told me where the beer was brewed. Highly recommended, but booking is advisable. I'm not sure we would have got a seat if we hadn't.

Nice food, well priced, good service.

Apparently good food intend to eat there soon, friendly staff good beer and some memorabilia of Mr Laurel all interesting

Didn't stop over and food was excellent

Great menu, good choice of dishes. Fair prices and fabulous friendly staff. Will be back. X highly recommended. Try it out x

Only had a drink but the food smelled amazing. Lovely cozy pub

Visited while on holiday this year, very generous size food portions, very tasty and friendly staff. I had the ‘famous’ lasagna which was very tasty. We enjoyed it so much we came back a couple of nights later. Again the beef pie was very good. All tasted homemade. My wife is a vegetarian and had no problem finding something on the menu. Would definitely recommend if you are looking for somewhere for dinner in the area. Car park is small but we found on street parking round the corner.

Great service and excellent food

Excellent value for amazing food, and much cheaper than other places we'd looked at. We were so lucky they were able to find us a table, as we hadn't booked; busy place, considering it was mid-week - always a good sign that the food is good. The staff were all lovely & friendly; nothing was too much bother, even when I knocked over a drink! Would highly recommend a visit.

Great food and service, very accommodating given we were a large group! Food was really tasty and reasonably priced, definitely would recommend!

A really nice friendly local that has a good range of beers and has a good menu, on top of that the staff are spot on.

Lovely staff, very accommodating, very friendly, food excellent. I know a lot of people that have eaten here and I've never heard a bad report

Booked The Stan Laurel for a family catch up. We were a table of 8 and we all really enjoyed our meals. The meals were very good value, well presented and very tasty. The staff and owners were very accommodating. We look forward to our next visit to The Stan Laurel. Thanks

What a nice pub and people very friendly.

An absolute gem of a pub. The food is divine and the service is just second to none. We popped in while we were on a short break and we would go back again for sure. I can highly recommend a visit here. Lots of lovely ales too! You won’t be disappointed

This pub is so good you need to try it.You wont be disappointed. It's to be recommended.

We were a group of 11 hungry adults and kids in ulverston. We tried a few places for food but not what we wanted. BUT we then came to the Stan Laurel inn. Where we met Trudie and her team. They were very welcoming with 2 dogs and 5 kids. They could have not been anymore accommodating. The food was amazing especially the chilli/ veggie stack, the special Laurel lasagna and the desserts were stunning!!!! Thanks from the hutton’s the Gilmores and the Collins family xxxxx

I went for a meal with friends at the Stan Laurel for the first time in five years; and, from memory, it was better than ever. The Main Courses were all a mouth watering, tempting prospect, as were the female staff members. They, and the young man waiting-on were alert and keen to help and were not just 'going through the motions.' The food was delicious. There was nothkng on the menu that I would not have gladly tried. I went to pay for my two courses. I am still baffled as to how it came-in under twenty quid?

Great meal, great hospitality. Deffo worth a visit

Fabulous food and service. Thanks

Every visit to Ulverston.(Our daughter lives here) we book to eat here. Always good food &good Ale.friendly service & dog friendly. Very reasonably priced

I visit this establishment, perhaps once a year. The reason being is that the staff and dining are 1st. Class. Excellent prepared food and top quality service. Really recommend it.

Third time going for a meal in as many months. Always brilliant. Service is great and the food is hearty and filling, and delicious of course. Highly recommend.

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!

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 ☺️

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 😌

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

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.

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

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
