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

From the moment we walked in I knew we were going to have a relaxing lunch. The servers were friendly and welcoming, we had a nice table near the fire (we had reserved a table) and our dog was greeted too. I had the vegetarian Sunday lunch (just the cauliflower cheese with all the veg - although nut roast was on offer had I fancied a vegan option), my daughter had the beef. Both meals were served quickly and we had two delicious plates of food. The puddings were equally as good - sticky toffee pudding and chocolate brownie were our choices. The Ship is an extremely clean and tidy traditional looking pub with an open fire and warm friendly atmosphere on what was an extremely wet and miserable day outside. A perfect way to spend an hour or so on a Sunday afternoon. The car park was a little tight and there were no spaces when we got there but fortunately there was some off road parking right next to the pub. We would definitely recommend The Ship and hope to come back when we visit the Lakes again.

Called for fish and chips one Thursday evening whilst on holiday in Coniston . I think it’s changed hands from our last visit. It’s cash only . The food is cooked from fresh to order and is very good . Crispy batter on the fish nice chips . Not greasy at all so overall excellent.

Lake Districk expensive.. 20% more expensive than at home but it is what it is I guess. Pub feels a bit clinical, lighting needs toning down, loads of downlights, no atmosphere.. a bit of social club vibe, which is a shame for such a great building. The attached (?) restaurant, Enzos feels the same. Standard cafe tables, harsh lighting. Lacks atmosphere, I wanted to eat and get out tbh. Service was really really good. Nice staff, friendly and efficient

Food was OK. We had mainly pizza. Bases were good, toppings a bit mean. Priced ok if toppings were just a little more generous. Staff are very nice, friendly and efficient. Room feels more like a cafe than a restaurant so if that is important to you there are more atmospheric places in the village.

we were staying at the hotel so had dinner and breakfast here first thing to be are of is DOGS, not one or two, but everywhere, there is dog friendly and a dog hotel... this is the latter...on entering the bar to get to the restaurant you have to go through a narrow part of the bar, here there were dogs at every table, and each time a new canine friend came in we were greeted with barking, growling and owners making a vain attempt to control them, that was , all except the one dog who was seated on a chair, feet on the table having his dinner. disgusting and unacceptable We were seated in the restaurant and again surrounded by dogs I went to get drinks, a pint and a port and lemonade, six cask ale hanpulls, only one in use, I asked for a taste, dreadful, cloudy, old and sour.. the glass was left on the bar for the rest of the evening , not cleared away along with an ever growing number of dirty glasses.. Port and lemonade I had to explain that one, and at £2.70 for a dash of lemonade , what a rip off So, to ordering dinner, choose what you want, take tour order with your table number to the bar and order, simple, nope, not when there is only one ,member of staff taking orders and serving drinks and coffees as well..andy way three attempts over 30 mins and the order was in Chowder starter was good, as were the black pudding crumpets, we waited for out mains to come out, but desserts arrived... not ours, then the main arrived, again ok, the steak was small but well cooked Breakfast, more dogs , buffet style, plus extras fresh cooked, eggs royale were good, all good and served well Check out was lovely, the lasting memory of our stay But please Inn Collection, review your dog policy, tone it down, some of us, whilst dog lovers ourselves, find it unhygienic and intrusive

A nice atmosphere with a decent pint and friendly staff. Pub needs a refurb but the he service and drink made it worthwhile and we will visit again. Great location.

Un pequeño bar principalmente para bebidas antes de la cena. No había ópticos y, aparentemente, sólo una medida en el espíritu.

The crew at Aunt Sally’s were quick to serve. They took on board my request and were lovely. Back to our caravan our fish and chips were lovely. Fish was crispy and fluffy white fish. The chips were abundant. Thank you.
