The best restaurants in Eden North West

Lovely food and even Lovelier staff! We had a lovely server named Stacey. She was extremely friendly and knew the menu really well!

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

Amazing ploughman’s lunch after a walk to Smardale viaduct! Friendly staff fast service and a delicious meal we will be going back

It was lovely to find a pub with good food, nice homemade chips , lovely lasagne and crispy batter on the fish and chips, we all enjoyed our food and will be visiting again

I think 1 star is very generous to this business. Stopped by the Mulberry Bush Café for a quick bite on the way home—big mistake. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by a swarm of flies, which should have been the first red flag. Instead of turning around, we decided to order takeaway. That was our second mistake. We ordered a Chicken & Bacon Panini, a BLT, and two portions of Halloumi & Bacon Fries. What we received was an absolute disgrace. The fries were topped with a pathetic scattering of bacon and three tiny, burnt scraps of halloumi—if you could even call it that. The BLT was an insult to sandwiches everywhere: thick, dry bread, a full half of a tomato just plonked in, and a measly single strip of bacon per half. The salad? Chopped into huge, unappetizing chunks—though, to be fair, the 10 nachos dumped on top were the only remotely edible part of the meal. And then there was the panini. If you enjoy the taste of pure grease with zero seasoning or flavor, this one’s for you. It was so drenched in oil it could have been wrung out like a dishcloth. For nearly £30, this was beyond unacceptable. A complete waste of money on food that felt more like a punishment than a meal. Avoid this place at all costs.

Our second visit, and not (I hope) our last. One of several reasons we choose Penrith to break a long journey overnight. Pleasant atmosphere, good food, good service, very popular - book beforehand if you can

Great location and service, but there is room for improvement with the food, especially since the Food Hall quality is exceptional. The savoury options could do with a rework/review - they're very breakfast themed and not very well cooked, presentation needs looking at too. How about adding pies, quiche and sausage rolls? And granary rolls? The cake selection is good..and tasty

Had a lovely brunch in the pancake house. I had the farmers Dutch which was delicious. My husband had the new yorker and my daughter the Nutella and strawberry. Service was friendly and efficient. A great addition to centre parcs

Very nice pub. Beautiful interiors but above all beautiful terrace. Good choice of beer.

Fabulous pies! Great lamb casserole! A village pub that needs its locals and visitors to keep on coming! Use it or lose it! We’ve been coming here year on year when staying in the locality and it’s a great local pub!

Shockingly bad. Won't ever be back. Vegetarian and vegan meals were beyond appalling. Genuinely shocking. Told maitre d, who clearly couldn't care less. Well done on driving customers away. Never again.

The food was looking good and presentable

The fish and chips were very greasy Not the best I have had At least it was hot The service was good and the wine was lovely and cold

Came here with my son, haven’t been for a couple of years. Breakfast excellent! Big improvement from last time. Nice and clean place, breakfast well presented, quick service and good price. Will defiantly be back

This place is an absolute shambles, the boiler did not work leaving us without hot water and heating for the weekend, the place was filthy on arrival, all the crockery and pots and pans where dirty, When we told owner that the TV didn't work, he told us to buy one. I would not recommend this place until the owner has brought it up to standard. The advertised hot tub overlooks the neighbours house and gardens, and looks as if it was shoved in the only place it would fit.
