The best restaurants in Boltons Allerdale North West

Have eaten here several times now. Woodlands really is a hidden gem. Daryl really is an excellent chef and his food is outstanding. Whenever we stay locally, we try to visit. Give them a go and you won’t be disappointed!!

Great place to pop into for a couple of beers after a day walking. Lovely atmosphere, proffessional staff and decent prices for the area. Keswick itself is rather over priced.. IMO

Had the most amazing steak and ale pie with mash and vegetables. The food was 10/10 with great service to boot. This place is a little gem

We called in, while out walking, for a coffee. We were seated in the lounge area, where we were captivated by the visitors to the bird table, and the stunning views out to the fells. Lovely coffee, and delicious home-made shortbread, for a very reasonable price. Thanks 🙂

This is an excellent traditional pub. Warm and welcoming. Great atmosphere. Great service. Our visit was unplanned and the staff went out of their way to provide a table for us when they were obviously very busy with bookings. The food was excellent. The drinks were excellent. The service was excellent. We were so impressed we booked to return two days later and dropped in for a drink the next day. We were not let down. Highly recommended, a must.

✨️✨️✨️❤️An incredible place, with incredibly delicious cakes and the best coffee, I highly recommend everyone to try the Sunday lunch from the chef, it is incredibly tasty, if you are passing through these parts, I highly recommend visiting this place, I am sure it will be the best lunch of your life.❤️✨️✨️✨️

Main courses were delicious, the only big let down were the deserts, Nutella sundae with whipped cream, it isn't a sundae without ice-cream and sticky toffee pudding with whipped cream, when stated on menu vanilla ice-cream , with no discount because of alternative, should of came out to say they had run out of ice-cream

While staying at the hotel recently we had some extremely well cooked, well presented, reasonably priced meals. I am sure this chef is on his way to many awards in the future.

We went here with local friends who had tried it before and were not disappointed. There is a wide choice for vegetarians (and vegans) which I always appreciate, rather than being forced to choose the one safe option on the menu. The choice was difficult, but both starter and main course (pea and mint curd bruschetta; dal with asparagus and pasta) were excellent. The finale, honey and pollen sponge with creme anglaise and ginger ice cream, was truly sublime. My fish- and meat-eating friends were equally impressed. It's not cheap, of course, but worth saving up for. The service was fine and the view, if you are lucky enough to get a window table (guaranteed only for parties of six or more, but we struck lucky), is glorious.

Visited with family and 2 dogs. Friendly service, lovely coffee and delicious cakes that were very much enjoyed after a long walk. Definitely worth a visit!

Superb service from Alan and Michael a credit to the company friendly polite and professional, i reserved a table with Alan earlier on day as daughter likes a quieter seating spot and was greeted by Michael when went for meal at 5pm, lovely comfy booth seating and the place was clean and inviting ,ordered from menu and snack sheet and it didn’t take long to arrive,food hot and delicious and drinks spot on, in fact food plenty we got more than we thought so got doggy box to take back to lodge.very full and overall great service all round.Thank you.

Lovely pub. Called with a group of friends for a drink and a bite to eat. The staff were brilliant, so friendly and very attentive. Lovely food and reasonably priced. Would recommend to anyone in the area

Muy por debajo del estándar. Mala organización. ¡El viaje en autobús reservado para 4 noches tenía malas opciones de menú para 36 pasajeros de una edad promedio de 70+! El desayuno estaba bien, pero el servicio era lento y desorganizado.

My husband, myself and our 13 year old son visited The Brasserie two days ago on a Saturday evening. We were able to walk from our cottage accomadation to the Brasserie. On arrival to the venue we were very impressed by the beautiful driveway leading down to the Brasserie. The whole establishment is obviously very well kept with beautiful spring flowers and plants and lovely lighting down the drive. On entering the Brasserie however, we were suprised that the decor didnt appear to match the rest of the hotel. We were approached by a friendly waiter on arrival who took our drinks and food order promptly. He checked we were all ok during the first half of our meal and we felt his interactions with us were appropriate, not too overpowering or disinterested. My husband ordered the mushroom stroganoff. He felt it was quite ordinary and bland. I ordered the brushetta and a side portion of fries. I felt the brushetta was overpriced but the fries were beautiful. My son ordered the pizza which he said was really tasty! During the meal.another member of staff( female) arrived and we have to say it was quite an experience! We had ordered a second round of drinks. I had ordere a lakes gin and a small bottle of fever tree ginger ale to mix it with. I was allowing my son to taste the ginger ale from the bottle. The waitress appeared out of nowhere and snatched the bottle from his hand with a resounding"no!" It shocked us all! We reassured her that this was not an alcoholuc drink. She then commented in quite a rude manner when my husband wiped his nose gently on a napkin and also told us later on during the meal that she was used to working in the " posh restaurant". During our meal she stood over us on several.occasions which we felt was inappropriate and a bit unnerving! We felt she would benefit from some more training from more experienced members of staff. We did realise she was young and and was probably trying to.please (.a little too much). We were very patient with her but felt there may be future guests who may not be quite so tolerant! A little later during the evening my husband and our son went to use the toilet closest to the Brasserie. They came back and both told me there was smashed glass on the floor and a dirty nappy. My husband reported this to a member of staff from the spa team. On leaving the Brasserie we walked through to the hotel reception as we were all so concerned about the state of the toilet and wanted to ensure it had been sorted and the message had got trough. The lady on hotel reception didnt appear to know anything about this but we did see her promptly speaking to another hotel member of staff after our conversation. The only other disappointing part to.our meal was the cheeseboard. It sounded fantastic on the Brasserie menu but when it arrived we were informed that some of the cheeses were not available. The waiter did however add a few extra for us but we felt this could have been mentioned before we went ahead with the order. Sadly it was a disappointing experience as it could be a fabulous setting within the grounds of an obviously gorgeous hotel.
