The best restaurants in Coniston and Crake Valley South Lakeland North West

Had the best hot chocolate of my life here and the breakfast was fantastic! I will definitely be going back for more next time I'm in Coniston.

Popped in here for lunch after visiting Cathedral Cave, so glad we did, everything was fantastic and the staff were amazing. Highly recommended to anyone who's in the area.

Fabulous healthy food - well cooked and top quality! This is a compulsory stop for us whenever we are in the lakes. Keep up the good work.

Very clean,bright and airy,great welcome,excellent food at affordable prices,and pleasant interaction with the owner.

Regularly call in on my visits to Coniston always a warm welcome, lovely coffee and light refreshments.

Did Mary Berry herself bake these delightful scones and cakes? We decided to pop in for lunch, having lived nearby without ever visiting before. I was initially hoping for something savory, as I don't have much of a sweet tooth, but unfortunately, only cakes were on the menu. Nevertheless, I embraced the opportunity to indulge in a sweet lunch. The atmosphere was wonderfully relaxed, with a charming gentleman attending to our table. My eldest son chose the ginger cake, which was incredibly moist and flavorful, while my youngest savored a brownie that was equally delicious. My husband and I opted for the cream tea, and it was nothing short of fantastic! The warm scones were fresh out of the oven, accompanied by homemade jam that was utterly scrumptious and generous portions of homemade clotted cream. This experience was a delightful departure from the typical shop-bought Rodda’s clotted cream and tiny pots of Tiptree jam found at most places. I can't wait to return when they have their full menu available!

Lovely friendly pub evening meal was lovely good food nice people hubbie loved the ribs and beef madras perfect looking forward to eating there again

I’ve known Tony for many years, Good kind hearted straight up Man, The quality of food has always been on point, i’ve read the reviews am astonished with some, it can only be from competition, or sad deluded people, genuinely been going their for 25 plus years, the lads their are great food has always been good!! I suggest you try it for your self💯

Food was fantastic and service so friendly. Would thoroughly recommend a visit. Particular favourites were the onion bhajis, butter chicken and garlic chicken.

Coniston has a number of pubs but we tend to gravitate to the Black Bull . It has a good selection of beers and usually plenty of staff behind the bar . The food prices are on the higher end of pub prices and the menu understandably limited but they also have a specials board All in all we enjoy visiting the pub

We really liked this pub and the food was delicious (lamb hotpot and steak and ale pie)... a good selection of real ales... three things let it down for us: slow to clear the pots from the table after our meal, in fact we stayed two hours and they were never moved. The next is that we found the cask ales too cold for our liking. Thirdly it's cashless, card payment only... we save for holidays and prefer to spend our cash stash. If not for these little niggles I would have given 5 stars.

This is a very good pub offering a great range of classic English dishes. We were there for a 70th birthday cake creation and had a range of starters and mains including soup of the day (leek and potato), haloumi fries, fish and chips, venison, steak and ale pie and more. The staff were excellent.

We ordered the curry of the day and enjoyed our meal. Washed down with Cumbrian way! Very welcoming owners ! Would love to have stayed longer but had to walk back into coniston village before it got too dark and path too slippy ! Great looking pub will be sure to visit again !
