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

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

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.

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.

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

Fantastic service and hospitable staff that made the meal journey enjoyable. We had the lunch menu and were dining with our 17 month old and not one bit were we made to feel unwelcomed. Really thankful for the team in serving us from Breakfast to Lunch and made the day truly memorable!

Food was so amazing I would give 6 starts If I could

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.

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

Beautiful pub in a picture perfect village. Absolutely superb Sunday roast. Service and ambience perfect. We'll be back!!

We had the most wonderful stay at Uplands Inn Cartmel and couldn’t recommend it more! From the moment we arrived, Allan and Sue gave us such a warm welcome, making us feel right at home. It was especially lovely that they allow dogs, and they went the extra mile by getting our little dog some locally handmade treats—such a thoughtful and personal touch! We stayed in the Lune Suite, which was beautifully cosy and comfortable, with an incredible view of the hills and coastline of nearby Grange-over-Sands. After settling in, we headed to the restaurant, where we enjoyed a fantastic home-cooked meal by Sue. I had the steak and chips, cooked to absolute perfection, while my partner had the fish and chips, which was equally delicious. Following our meal, we relaxed by the fire with some drinks, and to our delight, Allan and Sue joined us for a chat. The evening flew by with laughter, great stories, and amazing hospitality. Their son, Dylan, was also hands-on in the family business, serving up fantastic cocktails—I highly recommend his Bloody Mary! After such a lovely evening, we had a peaceful night’s sleep in our super comfy bed. The next morning, we were treated to a delicious full English breakfast, made with fresh local produce and cooked by Sue—an excellent way to start the day! This hotel is truly special, not just because of its stunning location but because of the amazing family that runs it. If you’re looking for a dog-friendly, welcoming, and heartwarming stay in Cartmel, Uplands Inn is the place to be! We can’t wait to return.

A big thank you to Nicky and the staff for being so welcoming to us us so late in the day...10 mins before closing. Brought in my Mum and a few residents from a local care home and Nothing was too much trouble. Julie you have the best cafe and staff and always there with a smile.

Lovely food with very welcoming staff who are well organised. Warm.and cozy bar area where food is served in the perfect amount of time.

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!
