The best restaurants in Levens South Lakeland North West

Fully booked for food, but sorted me a bowl of chips, that was absolutely beautiful. Good pint of Hopnik Citra IPA too.

Fabulous meal the Venison pie was delicious and we all had something different. Staff were lovely this was our 2nd visit whilst staying in the Lakes and we will be back.

Always like to go to the Wheatsheaf but sadly no more. Much has changed and not for the better. Menu choice is dreadful,go to the Hare and Hounds down the road in Levens. The shock at having no cooked breakfast was a spoil of the weekend as that is part of the break . Continental is for France not the Lake District. Staff were great,beer good and room was fine but will go to the Crown at Coniston for the full monty package. Hope it gets it's clients back as it's in a lovely spot.

Nice old pub but a bit overpriced

My ceilidh band and I (@priceofmypig), played here last night. Was a lovely venue with a great atmosphere and lovely views. The staff were friendly and professional.

Staff cant cope. Went today at 10:30am. Had a short walk with our dog and then sat outside and ordered 2 coffees and a cake and waited and waited and waited. 25 mins later, seeing others being given their coffee’s and cakes as soon as they ordered them, my husband went back to see where our order was. Having queued another 5 mins at kiosk ! Beautiful as the place may be, if you wait something as simple and quick as coffee and cake, be prepared for a long wait. I cant say they were over busy , but they were clearly struggling to cope with demand. Hate to think what it will be like Easter weekend !

Really impressive place considering it's part of an attraction itself. We visited 5 years ago but this was another level l. Really well done. The prices aren't exactly cheap but you get what you pay for. The vension pasts was delicious and the burger was up there with any other very good restaurant.

Sunday lunch very poor. Initially cold before being re-heated upon request. The sirloin steak was tasteless and chewy. Overall bland meal and very disappointing. Also an unsettling quiet and subdued atmosphere despite being Father's Day.

The cottages on this site are great for self catering.

We only wanted a coffee and a cake as it was only 11.15 AM but had to queue for 20 minutes behind people ordering hot food and spending ages deciding what they wanted at the last minute Nice stuff but it needs organising a lot better Guess as its volunteer run it depends very much on what the staffing is on the day They need a separate area for those just having coffee etc rather than a meal

Yet another couple who found it impossible to work for Humphrey Smith. Their initial enthusiasm quickly turned to despondency as long, poorly-paid hours and the policicies of this despotic boss put paid to the career ambitions of two more promising young managers. Such a crying shame, as this is a wonderful pub in a great location. One wonders how the young Sam Smith can bear to watch his father's policies and attitude decimate the Brewery Estate, compromise his inheritance and turn the feudal Tadcaster into a ghost town. Even the flagship brewery tap, The Angel and White Horse, next to the Brewery has long since closed down. A recent, polite telephone enquiry to the Head Office as to the reason for the sudden closure of The Heversham Hotel and the likelihood of its re-opening was swiftly and curtly deflected by 'I'm afraid we cannot comment'. In view of Mr. H. Smith's inability to retain his pub managers, it's very surprising that there is anyone left at The Old Brewery in Tadcaster who is prepared to stay on and brew his otherwise very pleasant and reasonably-priced beers. I wonder how they put up with his tantrums and volatility? It is to be hoped that son, Sam Smith, will reverse such an egregious management style and salvage the reputation of this once very popular and highly-regarded historic Yorkshire Brewery.
