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

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.

The most wonderful evening from start to finish - food was sublime and staff made the whole experience extra special!! A lovely treat - and that Kendal mint cake pebble!! X

We came here for breakfast after stopping off in Cartmel. The breakfast was amazing and the staff couldn't do enough for us. If we're ever back in Cartmel we would definitely visit again!

The (old) definition of a Michelin-starred restaurant. An experience from start to finish. It felt like a theatrical performance, with us in the front row, where beautifully crafted dishes appeared at the perfect tempo, and everything felt just right. Especial mention to the frozen cheese dessert - masterpiece.

The staff were so welcoming and the atmosphere was brilliant! A special mention to Sophie who went above and beyond to help me find my bracelet. The owner should be proud of having such a wonderful team. Thanks again, Lucie.

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.

Really quaint little village shop that's a bit like Mar Poppins handbag. Don't know how they can cram soooooo much stuff into such a little shop Really fairly priced and alot more on offer than just the expected famous 'sticky toffee pudding' which is to die for and us served hot to take away

What a lovely special experience eating here. All the food was amazing and we were introduced to some amazing flavour combinations. The staff were lovely and very knowledgeable. Nice ambience and not stuffy at all. Thanks for making my husbands 60th birthday so special.

I would like to offer 5 stars specifically for the quality and portion size of our food. The Cavendish is tucked down a narrow cobbled street through a stone archway and is beautifully picturesque. With a couple of smaller tables out front and a huge, well appointed beer garden at the rear where you may also have your meal. We sat indoors on good heavy furniture and an extremely rustic table that matched the condition of the roof beams which are obviously hundreds of years old. Although cozy inside it did not feel "Dark" or stuffy. Our service girls were just attentive enough and very pleasant to speak with. The 2 gents that appeared to be running the show were a little more flustered. The scenery from the back garden was particularly nice with trees in bloom and the church tower just visible too. It was quite expensive but the Steak pie was outstanding and I am sure the shortcrust pastry was homemade and quite filling. My wife chose the salmon fillet with salad and found it also very well presented and cooked but found the chilled rice quite odd and un palletable to her taste. I would definitely reccomend the Cavendish to family.

Homemade food and lovely service! The broccoli and stilton soup was one of the best I've had. We'll be back.

Beautiful downtown hotel across the street from the Fox Theater. Great place to stay and dine if you're in Atlanta for a show. I stayed in a two bedroom apartment that was very nice. I gave the room four stars as the apartment's kitchen was in need of an update from 1980. Additionally, the coffee maker didn't work and there were only three bath towels for four people.

Great host is Al a proper genuine person 👏

Stayed at Kings Arms and breakfast was taken at Cartmel Coffee. Food and service excellent. Highly recommend this place. Lovely owner and her staff Kim and Rod

This hotel situated in prime position on the square is such excellent value for money . We had a delightful room with all we required catered for ,excellent clean room . Thoughtful layout too . The staff and management could not have been more helpful in every way including going out of their way to provide us with lunch late. in the afternoon when all the cafes had closed . A really pleasant stay will definitely return as soon as possible . Thank you Lindsey

Awful. Had 3 starters to share. Butter board nothing like described just a bit of butter on an old chopping board a couple of sliced red pickled onion, no hot honey, no pancetta just a bit of cold toast was expecting warm crusty bread. Crispy wings, slimy not crispy. Loaded fries - topping of pulled pork and cheese cold. Don't waste your money!!!!! In response to the reply I would have complained but no food check was done by staff at any time during my meal!! I was given 20 % which totalled £4.60!
