The best restaurants in Orton with Tebay Eden North West

Very average we got a tea and scone for two. Came close to 15£ .....which for a cold scone and stewd tea thought was overpriced. You pay seperately for jam and cream ... tiny amount of jam!. Service didnt bother me but some might take as a bit abrupt.

We had high expectations for the food given all the hype about the quality of the produce. The steak my partner had and the fish I had was excellent. Unfortunately the chips were undercooked, soggy and pale. Frankly inedible. We didn’t want to return the food for fear of the steak and fish being ruined. However, a better supply of chips could have been provided to us, as a gesture of goodwill. I can’t believe any self-respecting chef would serve such poor quality chips. Made even worse was the attitude presented when we raised this. The waitress fed back our disappointment to the chef and in her reply to us which was “I did raise it with the chef but….” we took this that the chef chose to completely dismiss and disregard our feedback. It was a shame because we were otherwise so happy with our overnight stay at the Westmorland Hotel and this put a dampener on it. Message to chef: listen and do better.

Soup with a warm roll and a lovely americano to enjoy with my complimentary chocolate treat. Just right and great place to buy gifts too.

foods not bad staff pleasant they have put money into the place to bring it up to scratch and you notice it straight away

An absolute gem to visit , magnificent views and amazing views ,our hosts were polite & very professional. We visited as entertainment, the place just was a great vibe and people so friendly

The George has recently been taken over by Neil & Angela. We had a family lunch there on Sunday and as we are locals we’re keen to see the changes. Whilst it undoubtedly needs some TLC and updating,hospitality goes a long way for way and this was most definitely on display. We were warmly greeted by Neil, a fire was blazing in the grate & candles were lit on a very cold & miserable afternoon. The Orton Scar cafe could take a lesson from them as the hospitality there is appalling! The food was freshly cooked, piping hot. The steak pie which I believe they source from the fantastic Dales Butcher in Kirkby Lonsdale was exceptional. One of us had it with mash and one with chips. The chips were very good. The beer was well kept. We enjoyed it very much and wish Neil & Angela great success.

Stayed here to break our journey from Central Scotland to the Peak District. Had a very pleasant chalet type room at the rear of the property with easy access. Enjoyed a drink and an evening meal in the bar with our wee dog. We both had the sirloin steak with was generous in proportion and quite tasty.Staff friendly as were the locals. Would definitely return.

We have stopped at Tebay many times in the past for breakfast and in the past I have always been a very big advocate. The last 2-3 times I have been the food service has been very slow, the quality of the food has not been as good and by the time you’re sat down to eat it’s going cold due to till queues. Today however, we called in for breakfast, which is served until 11:30 and at 10:43 were told we wouldn’t be able to have one and would have to wait for the lunch food which was being prepared! We did not stay and will start looking for alternative places to eat on our frequent visits to Scotland!

The people who run this B&B obviously reserve their charm for customers for the B&B - woebetide anyone popping in for a sandwich or cup of tea and doesn't stop to spend enough money. A group of 9 of us walking the 20 miles from Shap to Kirkby Stephen stopped en-route as one of our group had forgotten their sandwiches and this was the only place for miles. Firstly when ordering the sandwich he was asked if that was 'all' that he was ordering and if we didnt want teas and coffees etc. Then some of us used the toilet and sat round waiting for the sandwich to be made and also waited for a friend to sort out the plasters on their feet. As requested by the owner some of us that had used the toilet to put a donation in the charity tin - which we did. We were just about to leave when the other owner came out and shouted at us for 5 minutes giving us some 'feedback' on how awful we were for using the toilet, sitting round in their driveway and basically not purchasing enough goods. I appreciate it must have been annoying us using the toilet - but if you don't want people to use it don't advertise it on your signs or ask people to pay (I quite happily have would and I did donate to the charity tin). So here's my feedback - for those walking the 20 miles from Shap to Kirkby - you are too early in the day for people to stop for teas and coffees - and you know what - if I'd met anyone coming the other way I'd have told them not to bother due to rudeness and anger we encoutered.
