The best restaurants in Hawkshead South Lakeland North West

Nice atmosphere not a massive menu

Staying in the village, this was an obvious place to try. Although there are vegetarian options, we negotiated a fully loaded vegetarian pizza. No questions, and they delivered one of the best pizzas outside of Italy. Really. More Pinsa than pizza, for those of you who know. Most excellent. OK, so there was less choice of beer than they would have had normally, but I honestly can't hold that against them. For service, flexibility, and friendliness, Poppi Red is exemplary. Thanks.

First camping trip pub we ever went into back in 93 aged 18. Sad to see it closed today. Major rebuild in progress and will be I recognisable. So I'll never see how it was again.

We had fish & chips mushy peas & chips and curry sauce , without doubt the best fish I have ever had, great value

What a lovely lal spot! Excellent coffee and delicious menu… this is coming from a non-vegan too. Staff were great as was the general vibe. Located right by the lake with a fair few walks, it is an ideal spot to grab a post walk coffee on a trip out! We will be back!!

The accommodation itself was clean, well-kept, and in a lovely spot, everything you’d want from a cute Lake District pub, right in the centre of town and walkable to all the cute shops, so no complaints there. Unfortunately, the service really let the experience down. The main lady who checked us in was consistently rude and abrupt, and couldn’t even crack a smile which made things feel quite unwelcoming. Everyone in our group experienced the same and commented on it which took away from the natural atmosphere of the pub and a lovely weekend in the lakes

We had the chicken curry dish which was delicious. Staff were really lovely and very attentive. Our 2 dogs were made to feel welcome which always makes eating out easier.

We stayed at The White Hart for 2 nights , the food was lovely. Breakfast set us up for the day. Everyone was friendly, the pub was welcoming and cozy. The room was lovely with amazing views. Great value.

Great pub in small village, serves delicious food (steak pie, Thai red curry 10/10!), friendly staff and locals, and of course Bob, the pub dog!

Good, old fashioned tea room. Warm and cosy. Good tea in a massive tea pot. Excellent toasted tea cake. In contrast to some of the recent reviews, we found them very friendly (and have on previous visits). It is up for sale. Hope the new owners don't change it too much!

Best scones ever--get the scones and jam with clotted cream. So good! They sell out of the soup, so go early if you want soup.

As we were staying a few doors away and it was a rainy day, we decided to have a takeaway lunch from this lovely little takeaway/cafe. There were seven of us so we had a good selection of the hot food on offer and also chose some of their cakes for afterwards. The order was all freshly made while I waited and the food was delicious. The soup deserves a special mention as does the caramel shortbread. I read the one star review from someone who wasn’t allowed to take a dog in and the cafe owners are absolutely right with this - they are really small with I think only 8 seats and it wouldn’t be nice for other people eating if someone had a dog in there (and I say that as someone on holiday with two dogs). Definitely recommend The Old Cobblers.

Absolutely stunning Cafe and very dog friendly xxx - best (outstanding) coffee we've had so far - Scones exceptional - staff are fabulous - we would highly recommend a visit to Whinlatter forest and food in Cafe Ambio.

Queríamos terminar nuestro fin de semana en los lagos con una taza de té y un pastel de cumpleaños y habíamos oído hablar bien las habitaciones de té. Llegamos a las 3 de la tarde, nos dirigimos por dentro. La chica de la entrada nos sacó una entrega desinteresada vistazo ya que hay mucho que decir " ¿qué estás haciendo aquí? ". Me sonrió y me dijo "nos ha venido para un té" (es un té después de todo! ). Dijo que "se puede sentarse allí" que indiquen lo que parecía una zona de bar. Pedimos unos pasteles y dijo que "no hay - no hay comida". Su actitud resumió la experiencia. No había ninguna información, menú o detalles evidente fuera del edificio o en la entrada. Optamos por irnos. Volvimos al Lakeside Hotel donde la bienvenida fue tan cálido como el salón Flame fire y té, como delicioso como el helado scones disfrutamos con. Le sugerimos Frithy es enviar la chica que ""bienvenida"" a orilla del lago por algunas lecciones en servicio al cliente. No volveremos.

Now one of my favourite pubs in the world. Try the Vienna lager it's perfect. Actually try them all. We had dinner too. I loved the food though the starters were better than the main
