This has always been a favorite pub of mine and a beautiful Lakeland pub. Generally open fires, good Pub food and good beer previously. Attended last night, October 18th to find on an October evening that the staff hadn't been arsed to lite the fire, radiators were off and cold. Not the warm cosy pub of times previously attended. Didn't have that Lakeland pub atmosphere you go for. Tamas the big in stature foreign barman was very miserable and monotone. Not welcoming and not brilliant service. Certainly didn't light up the place similar to the extinguished fire. Ordered the steak pie and chips/ veg. Chips and veg were fine but the pie was a bought small pie and only average. Especially for £20. Not brilliant. If you want a proper steak pie go to the Kirkstile Pub at Loweswater, wow- what a steak pie..... picture attached!!! Wainwright's, pls take note of what a steak pie bar meal should be like for the same if not cheaper in price. Very disappointed on this occasion. Other staff members were however very pleasant and gave good service.

Wowee! So my husband and I weren’t organised at all. We turned up after the last serving time (very well sign posted) and asked for dinner. Were initially disappointed. They were very apologetic - even though not their fault. Ordered drinks. Got a table. Then later, they brought over some food out of kindness for free. Wow! So super super super kind!!! How lovely.

Lovely pub along the Cumbria Way route. Walking distance to nearby Bays Brown Campsite. It's quite spacious inside with a beer garden as well. The food was very nice and good big portions - just what we needed after a long day's walking! There are a few local ales on tap and a selection of other beers and drinks as you'd expect. The staff were very friendly. There's free WiFi which was great as we had no phone signal in the area. I've been a couple of times and would definitely visit again.

Nice pub, good service, but food was really poor. We had fish and chips (£18) and a cheese and bacon burger (£18) The burger was tasteless and overcooked. Fish was bland with not much taste also. Guessing the food comes in in bulk and is essentially re-heated/warmed up. Shame as has the potential to be a great pub if they used fresh local suppliers.

Really disappointing visit. Have been coming for over 40 years and had brought new friends with me. Staff were rude & awkward (moaning we hadn't hung menus back up and when we cleared a tea tray onto a spare table to make room for main meals. Even told us where we had to stand at the bar to order) Fish goujons & chips were obviously the end of a batch and had been reheated to within an inch of their life and BBQ sauce on the Hunter's chicken ruined that too. Wouldn't currently recommend which is a shame as it is in an idyllic location.

So disappointed in the food what a complete rip off 18 pound for fish and chips. Frozen oven chips deep fried come out soaked in oil. A pathetic tiny fish hidden in a big puff of greasy batter. Basically just paid 18 pound for chips and batter. Absolutely disgusting. Was looking foward to a meal out all day to be disappointed is an understatement. Would enjoy them more from aldi

We love the Wainwright pub as just down the road where we stay. For an after walk pint, drinks on the terrace or indoors on a winters day all good. Staff are friendly and welcoming always. For food I would t recommend elsewhere, Seabass priced at £19 came with over roasted mini sliced potatoes and boiled broccoli. . Kids fish and chips, fish had no taste (my son always finishes his plate not on this occasion) And the Cajun burger at £18 came with just the burger and fries, no garnish. We know it’s a pub, but if you are charging proper prices, you need to pull it together and get a chef in who loves what he is doing. This wasn’t great!

Great pub, cosy and friendly with great food and beers. Delicious. Wainwright's Gold especially recommended. Prices may be about £5.80 for a pint and £18 for fish and chips, but that's probably about standard in most nice pubs these days and the portions are generous. Had soup as a starter and the fish and chips and could barely finish, no room for dessert. Had four different beers over two days; all well kept. Pub quiz on Wednesday was good fun; free to enter but they have a cash whip round for charity. Speaking of cash, they don't take it: it's card or contactless only. Outdoor patio with heat lamps for cold nights and umbrellas that provide a bit of shelter if it rains.

Always felt it looked a bit corporate make over from the outside but the bar was very nice, Cumbrian, friendly, a few local brews felt quite unspoilt, not "done up" was very nice. Good atmosphere.

Fantastic food, very friendly service. Huge portions and an excellent menu of very tasty food. Great range of beers and spirits. They serve food across the day and ot can get very busy depending on time of the year and the weather. Recommend getting there early to secure a table inside if weather is wet or cold. The Staff are so tentative and are eager to serve. Time taken from ordering food to being delivered to your table is less than 15 minutes and it's perfect. Recommend the Lamb, really nice and so much. I highly recommend eating and drinking here.

Due to a bus issue I had been standing in the damp and cold for over 2 hours and was feeling extremely cold. I was told I could have some hot water. I left feeling very upset. This is no way to run a pub , where has good customer service gone. Well it was their loss as my husband came to find me and we would have spent money on food and drink but on point of principle I will never go in this pub again. We are frequent visitors to the Langdale valley and this is my first bad experience from a hospitality establishment.

Appalling staff attitude. To challenge a customer for using the toilet before ordering a drink. Saying the customer was ill mannered for not asking permission. Then imply the customer is a liar when explaining her husband was outside with the dogs ready to order drinks as had been the case for the 3 previous days of our holiday. Told to get lost (or words to that effect) as the customer had "done what she came in for". Utterly appalling, rude and verbally aggressive. Not how someone in hospitality should behave.

Sadly we were disappointed by the lack of staff having had to wait an hour to get our food. The 2 different cheese burgers were excellent, the fish and chips were very tasty sadly the vegetarian curry was very disappointing. The 2 waiters and chef did their best but were overwhelmed by the volume of customers. It is a very comfortable Inn.
