The Wagtail Kitchen in South Lakeland

The most wonderful evening from start to finish - food was sublime and staff made the whole experience extra special!! A lovely treat - and that Kendal mint cake pebble!! X

Best cafe in ulverston bar none relaxed atmosphere great staff very friendly . I go 4times a week and never had a bad experience

We've had some amazing meals at top restaurants all over the world, including a 21 course meal at a three michelin star restaurant, but honestly, I think this one was the best ever. We've been to the Stamp house twice before and as soon as we knew we were coming to the Lakes this weekend, I was on the website at 5am as soon as the reservations for March opened, making sure I could book us a table. We talked to the sommellier about our favourite types of wine and he suggested a few modest ones but we really pushed the boat out and ordered a bottle of Nosotros Malbec, which was utterly amazing. Im going to have to get my wife this for Christmas now ! He was so enthusiastic about this wine that it made it even better. We started with two amuse bouche, my cheese one just melted in my mouth and was so flavoursome. Then wonderful baked hot bread ( I had two ! ) a fish started, an onion tart with broth, three more savoury dishes ( mainly fish as per my request ) and then three amazing desserts, each one creamier and tastier than the last. The final one was macaroons with cream and sauce for me and glazed pineapple cubes for my wife. Her meal was completely vegan and I know shes enjoyed it when I dont get offered any. I didnt get a crumb ! Each dish was a decent size and so full of flavour. Superb presentation and perfect service. We rounded off the meal with a glass of port. The price - under £100. Just amazing. Simply cant wait to go back !

The cafe is just below the Hoad Hill and John Barrow Monument so its a great place to have a cuppa or snack after tackling the climb up to the monument. The staff were very pleasant and you can sit outside or in. We relaxed and enjoyed our tea, then had a look around the Ford Park garden.

Amazing pies and lovely staff. Highly recommended.
