Popped in for a quick drink on Friday night and it was so lovely we came back on Saturday! Megan behind the bar was so lovely, and the vibe of the whole place was very welcoming. Very strong cocktails!!!

Half a cold flat bread with overcooked chicken that was bone dry! Chips sent back to add the Cajun spice we paid for! Tourist pub they know you aren’t coming back but they don’t care! If it wasn’t for the wife saying don’t complain I would have sent it back!

Had the Calamari, Mixed Grill and Rainbow Lasagne and have to say, the Calamari was cooked to perfection as was the Mixed Grill. Best one I’ve had in ages! Thanks Georgina and Harry who were the chefs tonight. Mike & Chris 🍻

Megan, Shane and Jordan were really friendly, helpful and brightened our evening during my families meal tonight. For a Friday night it's very calm and quiet in here too, though we might have been the loudest table anyway. We all really enjoyed our food and drinks as well, it came super quickly. We will definitely be coming back again. :)

Megan has been looking after my uncle all week while he’s been popping in for secret drinks. He’s an annoying sod and she has been so lovely and patient with him. What a lovely girl, good food, good drink, reasonable prices for the area. Thank you Megan for babysitting my godfather! Legend.

Ordered a fish finger sandwich for a quick lunch while passing through Ambleside…….. wish I’d not bothered. The fish fingers were so over cooked I couldn’t even get a knife though and the small piece of fish that survived the cremation was the size of my little finger nails. It was served on focaccia bread which had also visited the incinerator and the tiny amount of tartar sauce was so difficult to find. Very very disappointing considering it was almost £15 and I could only eat the chips.

Not impressed. Typical brewery run pub. No character. Food was overpriced and not great. The place was half full and I didn’t see anybody smiling or looking like they were enjoying themselves. And the tables outside were falling apart and needed levelling. I really don’t understand why we stand for establishments like this.

We stayed here a couple of weeks ago for a last minute get away break. The pub and hotel is perfectly situated in the centre of ambleside with free parking for hotel guests. The pub is warm and welcoming. We had a drink in the bar before heading to our room (lovely Guinness) The room was clean and spacious with a fold out bed for our 9 year old. Breakfast was included in our stay and was delicious. We'll definitely be back next time we visit the lakes. It felt like a home from home.

This was a highlight of our trip to The UK last year. My daughter still talks about the Mac n cheese and full hot breakfast. It is a classic atmospheric pub with very comfortable and safe accomodation very clean and comfortable extremely well located and the friendliest most helpful publicans ever. I think they are from Liverpool and London but being Aussie it’s hard to place accents accurately. It’s a family affair and they’re a top family that were our first impression of England and could not have repped it better. Stay here 💯. Food is well priced and tasty as are the drinks (wide range) the atmosphere and location top notch. Ambleside is absolutely a gem. The staff are jewels.

We took shelter at the White Lion during an extremely busy wet lunchtime. We enjoyed a Bailey's hot chocolate each and despite being clearly run off their feet all staff were extremely friendly and obliging. We decided to book in for dinner and were so glad we did. Both meals (pork belly and the pie) were gorgeous, good quality and worth the price, service was just as friendly, and the place itself has a wonderful atmosphere.

What a cracking town pub this is. Since Steve and his team took over just under a year ago joined with an extensive refurb the place has just gone from strength to strength. Whether it’s live sport, karaoke, live music, disco night or just a quiet family drink there’s rarely a week that passes where the George fails to deliver. To top it off it’s probably the cheapest bar in town too. Keep up the good work a credit to the Kendal pub scene.
