The best restaurants in North West

We visited yesterday evening for my birthday, for the first time, and we will certainly be back. The food was superb, freshly cooked, and delicious. Sonny the owner did everything that he could to make us feel welcome and we had a lovely evening.

The best Bakewell slice I have ever eaten! Absolutely delicious. Exceeded expectations. Will be back next time in Ambleside

Outstanding service and food. The restaurant is a fantastic example of how an establishment can provide work opportunities for young people whilst maintaining excellent standards across the board. Credit to the team.

We arrived early so had a drink at the bar first then we were shown to our table. Wasn't sure what to order so chose the steak, lamb and chicken sharing board - I especially have a big appetite. It was gorgeous and we couldn’t manage the chicken so asked for a doggy bag (for me) to take home for which they obliged. Our server was lovely and very attentive but I have forgotten her name (young, dark hair, plaits). Thank you

Excellent service and food .5 adults and 3 children who all enjoyed the lovely food.special thanks for the fairy keys for the children.

I’m a local postie called Rob and ladies do an Absolutely superb leek and potato soup with local bread and banana cake. Really friendly staff. Lauren swaps cakes with me too! Go here for top grub and warm smiles. Great value supporting local businesses & community 😊🫶

Went with extended family….. great selection of dishes and the food was fantastic. Best Curry in Southport…. Service is always fantastic. Will be going again very soon.

One of the worst restaurants I ever been 1 food salty 2 owner is a real tool bad manner 3 customer service poor 4 waiting time poor Owner seriously think his food is the best in the country and has no people skills. Yet we left most of the food n the plate !! Never again.

Dispite receiving a reminder text from the restaurant the day before we arrived to find the restaurant permanently closed. Didn't have the decency to advise us of the closure. If they can send out reminder texts they could have advised us of the closure and avoided a lengthy journey.

Fabulosa noche. Grandes opciones de comida todo el mundo estaba muy impresionado con el sabor y las pociones. Acogedor y completo menú explicado

We visited for the Burns Night dinner. It was a great night out - food fabulous as always and the ceilidh was fun - really good band, great atmosphere.

We came here last year when we were staying nearby and it was amazing then and again this March. The staff were fantastic, food awesome. One of the best Indian meals we have had. Thanks again.

Beautiful peaceful location. Lovely fresh food. Its so good they don't need to signpost where they are! Had a lovely breakfast/brunch there, vegetarian and full carnivore versions. Tasted really fresh. Friendly staff, the full deal, try it.

Another wonderful unrushed afternoon with family. The menu has enough choice for all, they were kind enough to wash our raspberries bout for our one year old baby and put them in a bowl for us. Highly recommend Home@buckshaw 😇

As soon as we walked into this pub, we knew it was going to be good. A small, community run pub with 2 roaring log burners and a warm welcome! I ordered one of the cocktails, the berry one and it was delicious and my partner ordered the alpaca lypse and they let him keep the glass it came in. We then ordered our mains and both had the pie; it didn't disappoint. There was so much meat and the gravy was lovely. Pudding was also amazing; two big portions of syrup sponge and chocolate fudge cake. When we are back in the lakes, we will definitely be back!
