The best restaurants in Eden North West

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.

Amazing welcome, great price on food and the service is spot on and food is amazing would definitely recommend family and friends and the place is near and tidy and very clean and will be definitely coming back

Very good takeaway coffee. On our way into the Penrith Museum we passed this coffee ‘van’. The Museum didn’t mind us taking our drinks in as we looked around. A perfect pick-me up on a wet morning!

What a great experience we had this morning paddle boarding on Ulswater. The instructor was nothing short of superb and got us all up and enjoying the water really quickly. The equipment at this centre was also really high quality and we felt totally safe with the buoyancy aids provided. Our group was diverse - me a rotund 50 something to my 18 year old daughter and while the duration we stayed stood up may have varied we all managed it and enjoyed crossing the lake. In summary - this is a superb activity, great value for money and I highly recommend the experience to anyone else.

Staff was friendly and helpful, enjoyed the glass house. Food was amazing with a view. I would recommend eating at the glass house

Sandy’s is the best ice cream I’ve come across all week! Absolutely stunning ice cream & Sandy was so welcoming , kind, and friendly! £3.80 for the best two ice creams I’ve had , the best chocolate fudge cake & endless toppings… everyone needs to know about Sandy’

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)

Unbelievably good food! 👌🏼 I would highly reccomend the fritters - go for the mixed one so a couple of courgette and a couple of spinach. If the chefs give you some of their special spicy feta dip as well then you're onto a winner. If it's not on the menu then it definitely needs to be! Such a friendly spot and if you're unsure what to get, ask for a reccomendation and you can't go wrong. Even better is if you're there on the right day pop into The Fell Bar, Penrith a couple of doors down where they're serving local craft alcohol and offer a £9 special where you can get a pint/glass of wine and pitta wrap/salad/mezze fritters/chips &... All you do is pay at the bar, take your receipt to Just Greek, order, take a buzzer, finish your pint, pop back, pick up your food and then eat it at the bar with another beer - go for the IPA. I had no idea upon going in the accolades this place has, but after one visit you can 100% see why. Authentic and fresh it's just absolutely cracking. You'd be a fool not to and it's hard to resist getting more on top of the meal deal - I tried a mixed gyros and halloumi salad as well just because you can tell on walking in that the food is going to be worth it and I was not disappointed. Amazing and I hope to be back one day.

Pooley Bridge is a great location to stay and explore the Northern Lakes with several very welcoming inns with great beer gardens and decent food. The 1863 Restaurant & Rooms however is on a different level altogether. We stayed for two nights in the Luxury Suite (room 7) which, although smaller than we had anticipated, was extremely comfortable and well appointed. The real reason to stay here though is to enjoy the restaurant experience. On our first night we had the 3 course option which was imply superb. The presentation, quality of food and level of attention from the team were all exceptional. We indulged ourselves with the 7 course "Taster" menu on the 2nd night which actually turned out to be almost 10 courses with the little extras that arrived. We thought our first experience would be hard to improve on but night two and the 7 course option was simply sublime. Thank you to all of the team for making our stay so special.

Excellent family meal. Lovely staff and even better food. 10/10
