The best restaurants in Cartmel and Grange West South Lakeland North West

Incredible taster menu. We were lucky enough to be the only diners so had the chef and sommelier to ourselves for 3 and a half hours! Also did the wine pairing which was fantastic.

Introduced to Oscar’s by my sister who lives a few miles from Cartmel, we celebrated my wife’s birthday with a family meal there a few days ago. Fabulous food and service and a great atmosphere. The sausages in honey and mustard were amazing. Highly recommended, we’ll certainly be back again.

I entered the coffee shop today as a heavily pregnant lady while it was pouring it down with rain outside - I politely asked the lady behind the counter if I could use the toilet. I was turned away and asked to use the racecourse facilities instead. A waddle to the racecourse in the pouring rain in my condition wasn’t fun however as many will know, pregnancy isn’t very forgiving on the bladder and I had to find a loo! I found this very unkind given it was off-peak season and very quiet in the village. This was a huge shame as I was going to use the toilet, wait for my husband to park up and meet me inside to purchase a coffee and some food from here. We chose to go elsewhere. Please remember kindness costs nothing.

Are rats still running around at L'Enclume? Our experience was so disappointing!

Lovely meal on Wednesday night. All the extras made so special Excellent food, super service. All as expected. Thoroughly recomended

We came here while staying in cartmel for 2 nights. Staff were great & food was beautiful. It was really busy after the races on the Friday & great atmosphere.

Love cartmel always come here on way to lakes worth the detour great village shop

The Cavendish, woz an amazing place to stay, Upon arrival, greeted extremely friendly, its a VERY VERY HOMELY environment, The Room had everything U needed, en-suite was a real bonus, Food woz Fantastic, esp. The Steak and Ale pie.Decent price aswell, for where it is located, Would definitely visit again.

Having previously visited thought we would stop in for lunch. Sat at table. No staff acknowledged us. No offer of menu. Group who had come in after us were offered menus then waitress proceeded to take their order. At this point we decided to leave. Still not a word spoken by any staff member. Very unprofessional and poor customer service

Traditional Pub. Nice open fire. Great beers. Very Friendly helpful young staff. Short menu of wholesome straightforward food very well cooked and presented. Live music on Fridays and Sundays. Will definitely visit again

Absolutely love this place! Staff is the best, one of the reasons this is where I stay in Atlanta.

Lovely family run hotel in idilic location with great views from rooms. Very warm welcome and relaxed atmosphere in hotel lounge greeted by very friendly staff team. Service is excellent and food home cooked by the owner Sue. Went new years eve with our dog who had treats waiting in our room. There was a lovely buffet included in the evening for all guests and an amazing chillie beef included the following day for Dinner. Breakfast as always was fresh cooked local produce...cooked by sue and served by Denise...nothing is to much trouble. Chilled out with drinks by the wood burner and chattered with other guests and Sue and Alan. Thanks also to Mathew Dylan and Lilia for professional and attentive service. Phenominal veiw of stars and VENUS on a clear night. As always a great stay. Will be back in 2025...book us in....all the best to all the team...HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL.X JULIE DEREK and Riley.x

our favourite place in cartmel for a quiet drink.

We popped in for drinks and received a very warm welcome. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Great atmosphere.

A popular independent coffee shop in the lovely village of Cartmel. The coffee and other drinks are excellent and not unreasonably priced. Home made cakes, tray bakes, slices etc make a delicious addition to your coffee. More substantial fare is available, too. The welcome is warm and the service is friendly and efficient. Highly dog friendly and the odd dog biscuit is always available at the counter. Highly recommended - I'm there every week and I love it.
