The best restaurants in Eden North West

Visited this morning with our dog we both had the full English breakfast it was really tasty and filling quality bacon and sausages the staff are so friendly and made us and our dog feel welcome definitely worth a visit.

Acorn Bank is a splendid place to visit and made even more so by a visit to the pop-up cafe situated in the court yard. Run by a mother and daughter team, the homemade cakes using produce from Acorn Bank's garden, a wonderful cup of locally sourced coffee and an extremely warm and friendly welcome made a lovely day out even more special. Highly recommended.

Beautiful place to stay. Genuinely uplifting; from all the lovely touches inside (homemade marmalade, log fire, good showers and feather duvets), and the majestic views and places to explore outside (smardale viaduct, ewe fell, cautley spout)

Amazing little country pub, easy to book a table (which is certainly advised), welcomed as soon as you walk in, great staff and customers who were all super friendly. Food was unreal with a great selection of alcoholic beverages and soft drinks.

It's hands down the best Greek food I had - and this includes food I had in Greece! Absolutely recommend it!

Brilliant food and fantastic people

Stopped off for breakfast as we were staying in Shap. Warm and friendly greeting to us and our dogs. Superb quality breakfast cooked fresh to order! Highly recommended

Stopped in for lunch and what a treat. Our food was delicious, the space is charming and the owner Simon was a joy to chat with. We will definitely pop in next time we are in Penrith.

We are a walking group of eleven friends who arrange an annual trip and this year we were pleased to be in the Penrith area We were even more pleased to find a restaurant called Grants at Castlegate. The food and service were excellent and all our group were very happy with all aspects of our visit

Tapas is amazing you have got to try, this is an amazing place , - tryed the ice cream 😍 service was 5* very professional We will be back

This was honestly one of the best meals we have ever had! We have eaten at several Michelin star restaurants over the years including 3 star ones and 1863 restaurant is equally as good if not better! We could not fault any of the dishes we ate and they were both beautifully presented and delicious! The waitresses were so attentive and friendly and made the whole experience perfect. We were celebrating our 15th wedding anniversary and we will remember this meal for a long time…..thank you so much!

What an absolutely fantastic dog friendly cafe this is, The owners couldn't have been more welcoming. I had a very scared rescue dog with me, and they were so sweet to her, even giving her treats.. The tea and vegan cake were delicious, I would be in here all the time if it was nearer home. They clearly have a devoted clientele of locals which is a recommendation in itself. I thoroughly recommend you stop off here when you're in Kirby Stephen.

The BEST sausage bap I have ever eaten, and I have eaten many! Delicious homemade chips too! Quality ingredients and very reasonable prices.

I just tried to order 2 pizzas via their app, which didn't work, then over the Internet on a PC, which also didn't work. When I phoned to try and tell them and order over the phone, I was told no orders could be taken that way and Shap Pizza was so interested in being told that their app wasn't working.....they put the phone down on me! Sorry but we live locally and that isn't impressive.

For no special reason my wife bought a pack of Low Howgill Cross Fell sausage at the Keswick outdoor market. When we arrived home the sausage went into the freezer. Some weeks later we had this thin link sausage for our evening meal. It was 'absolutely delicious'. We are off to Keswick shortly and a must stop-off on our way home will be Low Howgill Butchers for more Cross Fell sausage and whatever else takes our fancy.
