The best restaurants in Hawkshead South Lakeland North West

Such a beautiful pub We arrived approx 1 hour early and they were happy to seat us. We came in our camper, and for just £10 we could stay the night with electric hook up (free stay without hook up). Every detail here is stunning, from the menus even down to the salt and pepper pots! The toilets are very nicely decorated and very clean which is always a bonus. Will 1000% come again and recommend to everyone we know who love coming to the Lakes!

This is such a great place to go after a hike or just a treat. We have been many times and this is the best ice-cream in the Lakes. Staying in Hawkshead we knew there was a shop near by for our ice cream needs. The ice cream shop was the only reason why we stayed in Hawkshead this time . The first time we went on this trip there was a queue but the young lad handled it very well. The ice cream is always so delicious and well worth the price( it's a great price to what you get in London) and you get a massive scoop. Always friendly staff and very clean and hygienic shop. Awesome ice cream even when it's raining

Beautiful food and beautiful memories created for a special birthday. Simon was phenomenal from the very start. The communication to arrange this surprise private chef experience was super easy, he was so accommodating and created a beautiful menu to meet the fussiest of eaters needs. The food was delicious, the atmosphere Simon brings is relaxed and a real personal experience. We’ve already looked at booking him again for an evening at the end of this year. Thank you Simon!

We were so happy to see pizzas back at Low Wray campsite!! It is so nice to order after a day on the water. Nomads pizzas were great about adding vegan cheese and even gave me extra olives when I asked for no red onions. Our boys ordered a sweet pizza for pudding and lived that too. The staff were lovely to our boys.

Whilst trying to amuse my two young son's on a recent visit to Cumbria I took them to the vintage farm. And while that itself is great the real highlight was The Chicken Shed cafe on the site. The food is lovely with the homemade cakes being among the best I have ever tasted. The lady who runs the place is a great host and when my 9 year old cheekily asked for a beer she passed him a bottle of child friendly shandy that made his day. There's also a wide variety of homemade ice cream available which was music to the ears of my 6 year old (and me). Even if you don't fancy visiting the farm itself the food and hospitality at The Chicken Shed is worth seeking out.

Got to the Swan Hotel and was gonna order a snack My wife looked out of the window saw the van What a result !!! Stunning fresh pizza with the best view in the world

Stopped off for a pint while walking around Hawkshead and must say we really like this place. A new discovery for us but we were very happy due to the great selection of beers and friendly staff. We will definitely visit again

Fab place which conjures up the world lived by Beatrix Potter, she was ahead of her time for sure👏👏👏

Beautiful period inn that offers a separate vegan menu, but not plant milk for hot drinks.

Amazing food, amazing service, and really enjoyed having our meal next to a cosy fireplace. I highly recommend this place :) Dog friendly with good parking as well.

Stopped in here on the off chance they had a free table and lucky for us they did. Food was delicious, staff were really friendly and efficient. Facilities are modern and clean. Meal was reasonably priced we highly recommend

We came a few years ago and the menu was fab so made a point of coming back again while we were in the area but what a shock when we saw that the menu had changed to basic cafe food! We were so disappointed!

Lady behind counter didn't acknowledge us was too busy on her phone. The shop is has stock but not many items available, seems very old fashioned. Wouldn't go there again.

Opciones de comida fantástica tanto desde el menú principal y las ofertas especiales. El personal era muy atento y nada era demasiado problema. Estancia 2 noches en noviembre de 2016 y ya hemos reservado la cena aquí dos noches.

We visited last weekend to entertain wedding guests. The management here are amazing, they go the extra meter to ensure everything is in place as the happy couple planned. Great working with them - just love good organisation. The function room holds about 80 guests. It has a low ceiling, and the atmosphere is good. Loading is good with a trolley. Parking is very good and well managed.
