The best restaurants in Levens South Lakeland North West

Food was excellent! Did Easter Sunday roast here, amazing outdoor setup under a blossoming cherry tree!

Been coming here for a couple of years now. Think its time to change menu though. Bored with this one now. And whats happened to the prices 😳 Very average food, Small portions. With huge prices. My sister thought i was joking when i told her the price of a small 2 portion flatbread, with cheese. At £9 a time, for something you can buy for 50p in local shop, is truly ridiculous !! . Shocking prices !Wont be back anytime soon., unless they change menu and reduce some of the prices. There are far better places in the vicinity, without the crazy prices.

Absolutely outstanding. We dropped in with kids (family of 5) and a dog for a Good Friday dinner. Suffice to say, the food was top notch and the kind and attentive service made the visit well worth it. The quality of the presentation and the taste of dishes was right up there with many high end restaurants. It’s an absolute gem of an establishment and if you’re close by and need some gastro pub food this is the place to go

One of the nicest Sunday roasts from a pub you can hope to get. Gets busy so booking essential on sunday. External bench style seats on the sloping beer garden plus a few on the road front heading to Sizergh Castle

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.
