The best restaurants in Eamont Eden North West

My expectations were far exceeded when we just stopped off by chance for a meal on the way back from Leighton Moss to Gretna Green. The starter I chose was baked Brie with bread and olives, there was enough for 2 people to share and it was delicious and beautifully served. Both of us chose steak for a main and it was tender and juicy, with huge homemade chips and a lovely salad. Would definitely eat here again if I was in the area.

Took a wee detour here for dinner while driving south from Scotland. Best decision. Food was great, really enjoyed the roast lamb. Home made scotch egg starter was amazing. Great service. Good disabled access.

This was our last visit of the year and we took friends for their first visit. They were very impressed. As always a lovely atmosphere, great staff (Mike we love you!). The food was really good as always too. BUT!!! I was a bit disappointed with the menu this time. Chicken burger, fish & chips?? Not what I’d come to expect. Where was the lively trio of pork and other more adventurous dishes that we’ve had in the past? £24 for a chicken burger was a tad excessive where as you don’t mind paying higher prices for more chefy dishes! I don’t want food that I can make at home or get down my local pub. It was still great though! See you next year!!

Amazing food. The chicken ham and leek pie is the best I've ever tasted. Comes with roasted vegetables and mash. Top marks for all the staff

If you like ice cream, you will love this place. Excellent range of superb ice cream at a very reasonable price. Great to be able to sit and enjoy it whilst looking over to the Pennines with the production team (Jersey cows) chomping away. Very friendly staff.

Booked a table for a Saturday evening the 5/4/25 for my family 4 adults 2 grandchildren aged 10 and 8. The staff were excellent and the food was excellent we all finished with clean plates. Atmosphere I gave 1 star only because of the loud foul mouthed punter stood at the bar with a bald head and one leg, who continually swore every other word with a raised voice, now I can swear with the best of them, but there’s a time and place for this, in front of women and children in a family eating pub is not the place. I do think the owner or the staff should have took control of this, everyone in the pub could hear it, now he might be a regular who spends a lot of money in the pub and we’re just visiting but I can assure you if I walk in again and there’s a bald one legged man stood in the bar I walk straight back out, especially if I have my grandkids with me, I suggest anyone with kids do the same.

Friendly staff, good selection of food and drink, handy sport tv and pool, plenty of theme and disco nights. Sunday lunch is superb.

Absolute gem of a find. A good old fashioned pub with great home made food, a lovely fire and fantastic hospitality. This place goes above and beyond anything you'd expect. Really busy for a Wednesday afternoon but staff were friendly and smiley the whole time. Cannot recommend highly enough. Added bonus of being dog friendly and 2 mins from A66.

Contrary to recent reviews we found the tables clean and cleared ,toilets clean. Staff pleasant. Plenty of tempting treats to have with coffee for our coffee break.
