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.

Stayed here on the night of the 3rd October! Had dinner and breakfast the following morning. We both had the steak, tasted amazing. Breakfast the following morning was also a success. Our dog joined us in the mezzanine area, which was great. Hotel is very popular, would recommend booking for dinner and breakfast as also very popular. Look forward to eating again at this restaurant. Also had drinks in the bar, lovely area with a roaring fire.

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.

Transport food , not a lot of parking for cars but less frenetic than a regular motorway service station.

Nice friendly spot for a pint by a real fire.

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.

Stood in a ridiculously long queue only to find no vegan options. Food choices extremely expensive. Restaurant dirty and no staff cleaning the tables. All in all a very disappointing experience.

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.
