Staff are the worst I have witnessed. Walked in and was abruptly told that we could not sit down as all tables were booked. No real issue with that but it was not the welcome you would expect. One of our group pointed out that he could be more welcoming and was told ‘don’t tell me how to do my job’. Fair enough we stood for a moment to decide what to do whilst some of our group ordered drinks. Then another member of staff rudely shouted as us to move. We really had not choice where to stand and did not even notice that they wanted to pass. We just thought let’s get our drink and stand outside and said to the waiter that the staff are rude, to this she replied shut there f@ck up! We are not easily offended and never leave bad reviews but unfortunately we just found the whole thing unacceptable. We drank our drink outside and left. I felt I needed to leave the review so that the owner is aware of the situation.

A really good meal with nice staff and good ambience. I don't usually write many reviews but having read some poor ones on here I thought I'd give an honest appraisal. Table booking was moved forward for us on request and ready on time. Staff pleasant. Food very very nice. Smoked salmon starter nice mix and decent size. Bouillabaisse was excellent. Not your traditional pub grub but done very well with loads of good fish. Needed a side of veg but the broccoli was amazing. Would have gone down well with some crusty bread but ordered chips and they were cracking. In all main cost over £30 but I didn't feel short changed. Wine list limited but Sicilian white was v good. We couldn't manage a pudding! We were at the Yan the previous night and I have to say we enjoyed both meals.

Well what an experience had the rosti... Or what it was supposed to be. So salty it would have pushed your blood pressure through the roof, it was soggy and grey... 🤐 Chicken wings cooked in old oil so it had that weird taste and no amount of honey and mustard is going to cover that up. Poached eggs like rocks. Over all poor cooking go across the road.

We have been going in Tweedies Bar at lunchtime every day of our monthly 5 day visits to Grasmere. After our morning walks, we always go into Tweedies for a pot of tea followed by their local beers. All the staff (Chris, Andy, Aide, we don’t know all their names) are exceptionally friendly and helpful with us. There is always a great selection of beers to choose from and you can always have a taster first. We have also had lunch which was also wonderful. We absolutely love our visits.

Whenever we stay in Grasmere we always book our dinner here at least one night - book early during your stay for dinner as always full. The food and service are always excellent and you will always leave very full and with a smile on your face. Come very hungry if you intend eating more than one course, as choices on each course are very tempting, and never disappoint. The staff are very friendly but professional at all times. Great place to go also if you like your beers!! Friday nights are particularly great as there is music on at 9pm encouraging you to stay out that bit longer! The vibe/atmosphere in the bar/restaurant is always good. For example on our recent visit everywhere else we ate although good, the atmosphere was dull/lacking. However when we entered Tweedies for our dinner it was as though we came alive. The place was very busy and the vibe/atmosphere promised a great dinner/night. We were not disappointed 😀 We have also stayed at Tweedies several times and would certainly recommend. You will not be disappointed.

Tweedies bar in Grasmere is a Lake District institution and one of the best places for decent beer in Cumbria. The range of beers is extensive and they're always well served.

Very upset with Tweedies Bar and Restaurant. I had booked a table for eight Sunday 30 June. This was a special meal with a group of friends. When we arrived there was no table available and our booking had been crossed out. I was told that I should have phoned to confirm the booking although this had not been relayed to me previously. I appreciate that the staff were very busy, but their complete indifference to our plight was profound. It was by now 8.15 in the evening. Fortunately things turned out OK. We walked to The Inn at Grasmere. They were able to accommodate us and we had a lovely meal with very friendly staff.

A very disorganised place. We called to book for dinner and have a dog. We’re told that you can only book the restaurant and not the bar where dogs are allowed, and that bar is on come first basis. We then show up and were able to sit at the bar when we were told that we had to move to make space for people at the restaurant. We were then moved to a small corner and tried to enjoy our dinner. The food was ok, but we were rushed by the staff to finish and they tried multiple times to remove our plates while there was still food on it. Unfortunately the staff behaviour and lack of organisation in overbooking the restaurant resulted in a poor experience. This place has a great potential, please be more organised and up up your customer service.

Decent food and beer. But disorganised staff. The restaurant was overbooked and the staff were moving people around in the bar to accommodate. We also had four attempts to remove our dinner whilst we were still eating. This is hardly the relaxed country pub atmosphere we were hoping for, rather it seems they were trying to rush us out to make room.

So this review is only of the bar and restaurant area as that’s all we visited for. First impressions of outside were amazing, rly nice looking building, amazing large beer garden, food menu on wall near entrance (not cheap by any means but expected when you see the place from outside). Walking inside is a very different story, really old tables chairs and stools which are very uncomfortable, a very strange layout, place couldn’t decide whether it was an old fashioned pub (beer mats all over the wall etc and a log fire) or a family restaurant or even a church given the weird pews we hat to sit on. Next was the bar, lots of very young kids trying to be hip (the staff), which may be suited in a college area of a city but certainly not Grasmere. Listening to them try and push their over the top range of IPAs onto people was just cringeworthy. I personally love an IPA or a craft ale but this place has ridden everything else apart from its selection of lakes brewery brand ales, so many than it had a fridge full of cans next to the bar as well. Again I’m not saying this is bad but it’s limiting it’s audience, and the ones I tried were not nice at all. The first one I had was labelled as “pale ale” and was like water, the sign was turned around after my pint so I guess I got the dregs of the barrel. Wouldn’t hurt to have a Guinness or a common lager on the end of the bar. Next was the food, remember this wasn’t cheap, which was very disappointing when it came to the table. Fish and chips was £20, fish was soggy and smaller than average and there were 5 single chips lined up underneath it. 5 chips. There were more chips on my daughters children’s fish and chips!! Absolutely shocking value for money and the staff there were quick on their toes to collect the plates while you were still eating to hurry you out for the next mug that walked in. Also they had football on tv and signs advertising live music which again I found strange due to the layout and clientele sitting around us. The owners really need to decide what type of establishment they are running. So to sum up - if you’re 18-20 year old and fancy your first pint of IPA with bad advise from someone possibly younger than you this is the place to be. If you want shockingly expensive poor food this place ticks your boxes. If you have any sense of self worth and want a nice pint with some delicious food then drive ten minutes down the road to Ambleside giving this place a very wide berth!

It's a nice cozy bar area and the beer good. What I did not like was no clear displaying of prices, no change so would only take card, the less than friendly staff and lastly when you finish a pint, they swoop and almost snatch your glass from your hand. All most peculiar, as it could be an awesome place, but for me it was rather disappointing. I only went to the Bar and did not stay in the hotel.

Very disappointed. Visited Grasmere yesterday and decided to try the traditional but rustic Tweedies Bar for a quick bite to eat. Both sets of doors front and side are locked so you have to walk around the back which is fine but potentially a hardship for less able visitors. We ordered 2 chip butties costing £14 for the 2, then we ordered one pint of draft cider and a glass of white wine so when the waiter totalled up to £34.05 I was stunned and he didn't give me a itemised bill so I asked for one. What was the extra £20 for I questioned... Basically they charged £5.50 for cider, £1.20 for a tiny bag of nuts and a massive £13.35 for a glass of wine which was a basic bog standard sauvignon blanc....The cider was flat and undrinkable and the wine tasted like it has been opened for a week. £13.35 is scandalous and my thought are of your going to pour a glass knowing its scandalous then have prices for all to see rather than plastering your walls with beer mats!!!!! To add insult the chip butty wasn't a butty it was a small roll which was dry and tasteless. A butty is slices of bread not a roll... Beware folks as we left there £34 worse off thirsty and hungry.

We visited Tweedies to watch the Sunday football and have something to eat. The pub was full of people watching the game but the staff didn’t turn On the sound making it a strange vacuum of atmosphere. Drinks here are ridiculously priced. A glass of NZ Sauvignon was £13 + and a pint or Erdinger £7.20. Proper London prices. They have a great selection of beers but like many places are now card only and they dont tell you the price, just hand over the card machine. We had food here too. Fish and chips - good size and tasty and a burger was good too but at £18 + per meal, there are no cheap nights out here. I know that lakes is expensive but it seems to be tipping into unaffordable for many.

It had 3 different cheeses all of which were very tasty. Homemade bread, crackers, damson chutney, celery and grapes all for £10.50!

Sadly we live a long way from Tweedies but have visited it many times over the past 30+ years when we stay in the Lake District In mid 2022, when we previously visited, they were clearly struggling with staffing, due to the combined effects of Brexit and COVID. The staff remaining were obviously trying their best, but if you are short, there is only so much you can do. I'm delighted to say that over New Year 2023/2024 they were fully back to the welcoming, friendly and lively bar that makes Tweedies a must-visit in the Lake District. Great food (it's pub food+, not 'fine dining'), great beer, great atmosphere, what's not to like!

This has got to be the most delicious Sunday lunch ever! The pork loin with crackling and stunning array of vegetables was hot and beautifully cooked. You can even order an extra jug of gravey! 😋 The desserts of sticky toffee pudding and crème brûlée were also stunning. Certainly worth the walk from Ambleside and the walk back to digest 😊 The staff there are great. Nothing is a problem, great banter! Today was also great as there was live music. A great singer created a relaxed Sunday vibe 🎶 Thank you!

Lovely bright and modern pub. Nice choice of really taste beer. Called in mid week, so it was quite and lacked atmosphere, which is why I give 4 stars.

We had a room at the back and it was horrible. There's no getting around it. Small, dark and smelling very strongly of damp. The twin beds were touching. The carpet was very stained. Everything was tired and dated. The bathroom floor so cold it was unpleasant to go in there. Maybe if you get a sea view room it's nice - they looked ok from the outside, but if you are on more of a budget (we still paid £90 per night for the room) I would recommend looking elsewhere. Staff were friendly and breakfast was good but not with £15 a head and that was after a discount.

Very tired and in need of complete renovation and it shouldnt have been advertised as a four star hotel. Staff were friendly and helpful working under poor conditions. Breakfast choice poor unless you like eggs and the vegetarian full English was dry and obviously been kept under a heat lamp. Definitely not 4 star and I understand the day after we left the hotel was closed for renovation.

First camping trip pub we ever went into back in 93 aged 18. Sad to see it closed today. Major rebuild in progress and will be I recognisable. So I'll never see how it was again.

This was our second visit. We had previously enjoyed our stay and so booked for a special family event. Positives first- Our rooms were fabulous and clean. The doggy shower room a great idea. Staff on arrival lovely, cleaning staff and maintenance staff polite and friendly. Although the furniture in the lounge area was a little tired, there genuinely seemed to be an effort to maintain and improve the hotel and grounds. Negatives- one or two waiting staff had a bit of a toxic attitude. We’ve eaten in top Michelin and other good restaurants around the globe and would not expect this. So much so we chose to eat out at other local restaurants after our first night. We were a party of mixed dietary requirements and found the Vegetarian/vegan choices were very limited especially if staying for a week. My meal was ok but spoiled by atmosphere created by waiter attitude. Not truely vegetarian/vegan. I opted for pancakes one breakfast with compote, no bacon. They were cooked in bacon fat. Waitress, instead of immediately trying to sort it out, lied to my face. Doggy friendly on the face of it. Only allowed in certain rooms, not in main restaurant. Fair enough but Bar restaurant/lounge area not serving meals or seats unavailable because main restaurant users waiting on their restaurant table becoming available (people appeared to be waiting quite a time). Felt a bit Faulty Towers. Would we choose to spend our money there in future?
