The best restaurants in Hesket Eden North West

Stayed overnight and had a meal. Really friendly staff. Food and beer all good. Room very comfortable, with tea, coffee and water. Very clean. Booked with a buyagift voucher. Excellent customer service. Make sure you get the righ Sun Inn, as there's another one quite close. Sue was amazing and could not do enough to make sure we had a great time. Nice real fire in the bar.

We recently stayed on a two night Travelzoo deal. The hotel is finished to a lovely stylish clean standard. The pub food was lovely, fresh and tasty. We did find it a little steeper price wise to what we are familiar with. The room was nicely finished and comfortable. The light did pour through the window when cars drove past at night and also under the door from the hallway which kept me awake. The radiator in the room was technical and it wouldn’t come on so we were happy to have an electric heater too. Breakfast was continental, it was nice but we felt it was missing some meat and maybe more exciting cheeses. The coffee was lovely. The staff were friendly and helpful but out of the three we dealt with we felt one of them wasn’t so professional and sincere. Shouting things to the kitchen before the door was closed and generally a bit rude. The check in /out times were a touch late/early. Otherwise well done Dukes head and travelzoo too.

Good stopping off point if travelling from the South to Scotland. Comfortable rooms, well maintained. Very pleasant staff. Plenty of parking. Near to Penrith and Carlisle. Nice cosy pub environment with restaurant. Careful what you order! The home cooked food portions are massive 😧

Amazing food and service! The staff are so friendly and helpful and the food was just beautiful! Best curry in town easily

We spent the night on the way from Suffolk to Cairnryan. Looked good on Booking.com. Found staff very friendly and helpful and dinner and breakfast were good but room was small and dark and M6 provided constant background noise. Also fairlybm chilly as heating wasn’t on and hot towel rail in bathroom was cold.

Visited here quite a few times. The food is usually very tasty, well presented and the staff friendly. We must have caught them on an off day today though 🫤 We arrived at 2.50 and found a table. Noticing immediately that hot food was only available until 3.00 my husband went straight to the counter to order, rhyming off the two panini’s, a toasted sandwich and a jacket potato. He was informed there were no more jacket potatoes so I quickly changed my order to a toasted sandwich. By this time it was 2.52 and the lady at the till was not happy. She commented abruptly to my husband that hot food had to be ordered by 3.00, when my husband commented that it was not three yet she glared at him before hollering to the kitchen ‘ Don’t put owt away there’s more food orders’. The food that arrived was slapped together at best, zero point for presentation and my husbands cheese and onion toastie had barely any onion and the cheese had not melted. My parents in law panini’s were okay with proper chunky ham but were beige looking and hardly toasted,my Brie and cranberry toastie was tasty. This same disgruntled member of staff was clearly not happy in her job as she banged and crashed as she cleared tables and muttered and signed under her breath. To be fair, most of the rest of the staff were cheerful and polite but we are our food and made a hasty exit. I don’t think we will be back and if anyone else is going for hot food DO NOT leave it too late or you too stand the risk of public shame, humiliation and sloppy food. P.S The garden centre and gift shops are very good with very helpful and friendly staff.

Shocking service terrible attitude and overpriced food and drinks, didn’t think our family could feel so unwelcome, just not acceptable in todays hospitality business They were rude, unsympathetic, unprofessional, unorganised just very sad my family had to experience our time at this property If your looking for customer service and a smile 😃 you won’t find it here

Open for business with local foods. Quite secure.

We met at the Bridge for a family reunion with cousins from Ireland. The menu was more extensive than I remembered and satisfied a wide range of tastes from the traditional farmer to the aspiring artist to the teenage student. We’ll definitely be back.

Refused to double cup a dangerously hot medium black Americano which was burning my fingers so I walked away, losing 3.80 but staying safe. I won't be back. My safety is more important. Got a nice black coffee from Greg's instead in a safer cup

Quick stop to gas up and use restroom

Revelation! Very nice service. Best regards, Flixbus drivers

Absolute disgrace! Ordered Coffee, used my friends family discount. It did not register. Very cocky blonde haired bob girl. 'It must have been un shared with you. It's out of date We sacked a girl last week for this.' That's GDPR pet!' Absolutely showed me up in front of customers like I was a fraud and a thief taking my Car registration. Maybe you should have said download the new updated discount card! Maybe you should get extra training from Matt, Madeley, Rob. On my day off I like to wear tracksuit bottoms and a t-shirt. Never judge a book by its cover or is it because I am gay?

Understaffed poor lady on till and serving food no atmosphere felt quite low after meal,

Had a roll and bacon and coffee to take away at Southwaite services. Don't know how many days old the roll was. Dry and hard and the bacon barely warm. The coffee was barely warm. Service impersonal and unfriendly. Unfortunately when travelling you have left before realising. Awful. Jim Mac
