The best restaurants in Alston Moor Eden North West

We called in for lunch after viewing a house in Alston, the food was delicious, home cooked and very generous portions, and the bread is amazing! It's very difficult to find real wholemeal bread these days as it all tends to be supermarket style, even from bakers but this is the real thing! So tasty and filling, wonderful to eat just on it's own!

Popped in for a coffee and a cake while exploring Alston and we must say that the cakes were absolutely amazing. My partner is coeliac and he said the GF brownie was the most moist cake he has had. Great service, top quality food at a great price.

Very welcoming, friendly and efficient service. Good wholesome food. Good choice for veggies and vegans. Lovely setting.

Food was great, service was good but the gap between my friend getting her food and me getting mine was to big.

This dinner experience far exceeded my expectations. It was a true white tablecloth dinner. I've eaten at many other fine NH restaurants, but they are just imposters compared to this. We rode in the dome car. It has perfect climate control, so don't think you'll be in a hot humid car. The seats were very comfortable. The train was spotless. I guarantee you will be as impressed as I was. If you want a romantic dinner, this is it, especially if you ride in the dome car. Request table 1. BTW, the food was excellent!!!! The train experience was gentle and scenic.

Having been informed that this hotel is to close permanently we booked in for a night with Dinner- 7 course taster menu with wine and Bed and Breakfast. The service was excellent and the food sublime. The chef excelled with his choice of dishes.

We stayed one night at The Victoria while cycling coast to coast (23/07/21) The landlady Tien was fantastic, she was welcoming and helpful-even taking me to see a local cycle repair man to arrange to fix my bike (at 10pm!!!) despite the pub being jam packed during the annual music festival. The rooms although basic are clean, the bed comfy and shower hot-nothing else was required! Highly recommend this place for a top quality stay-it's not five star in the luxury department but the customer care is unmatched. We will stay again.

What an amazing stay we had here at love lady shield. Everything was spot on. We had a lovely tour of the hotel from our host when we first checked in, so many charming rooms to relax at your leisure. With books and games to entertain. Our charming room was very clean and had the most amazing view of the grounds. Literally could have sat at my window all day looking out at the beautiful view. We had a family evening meal and I can honestly say I’ve never had a nicer meal. The arancini was gorgeous and my salmon was cooked to perfection. All beautifully presented. My mum opted for the chicken and she said it was delicious. And the melt in the middle chocolate pudding was to die for! Even the kids meals came out were impressive and a really good portion. Breakfast lived up to our expectations from our evening meal. With a selection of cereals, pastries, fruit, yogurt, jams, drinks and an amazing variety of teas and coffee. But the main event was the full English. Again beautifully arranged on the plate and cooked to perfection. We decided to take away our afternoon tea for after our walk along to Alston, which wasn’t a problem at all. Everything thing was again beautifully prepared and so yummy and fresh. A massive shout out to the staff here. They all were so attentive and very friendly. I will be recommending to come here. And definitely be back. Thanks for an amazing stay.

We've eaten here several times now. Superb choices of menu catering for GF, Vegan, Vegetarian and meat/fish eaters. Superb food, great value. Excellent service, very attentive and I'd recommend here anytime. Free parking as well, take note Buttermere Court🤗. Will be looking forward to our next meal there whilst visiting the area. A real ' Find '. Thanks, Alston House staff😊😊👏👏. Just took my partner out for her birthday, 31st March. Left flowers on the table as requested. Beautiful. Thank-you. Food, as usual, exceptional 😋. Would recommend the Thai Curry, gorgeous 😍. Thanks to the staff for a lovely evening. X Just had another lovely meal tonight, 8th July, great service once again, with two large tables for the staff to cope with, we were just a couple whom once again thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Thanks to Carole and the team. See you soon. 🤗. Again had another fantastic meal ans super service 17th May 2025. Love coming here. Full marks to all the team

La comida en el restaurante era muy bueno, grandes porciones de nuestra entrada de cóctel de gambas era como un plato principal. El resto de la comida era tan buena definitivamente lo recomiendo.

Came for lunch after a freezing rainy windy section of the C2C and the staff could not have been more lovely, they lit us a fire to dry our things and fed us very well- cannot thank them enough! Would highly recommend the food too!

My husband had lamb and mushroom pie I had Cumberland sausage we both enjoyed our meals then we had pudding hubby had ice cream I had crumble and I must say I have never tasted crumble so nice it was that nice I did not want it to end. I would recommend this place for food and especially the crumble. It also has nice views and friendly staff.
