The Mason's Arms has always been one of my favorite eateries, but unfortunately, our small family group had a very disappointing Sunday roast lunch yesterday. We each chose a different roast—beef, turkey, and gammon—but all shared similar thoughts: the beef was chewy and tough, the turkey was underwhelming, and the gammon/beef combination failed to impress. What surprised me most was the roast potatoes—they were hard and tasteless. Surely, any chef should be able to prepare a delicious roast, and perfectly cooked roast potatoes should be a given! While we’ve enjoyed good meals here before and the staff, especially the lovely female server, were as friendly as ever, we all agreed that we wouldn’t return for Sunday lunch. It’s such a shame, especially as this was a rare family outing. P.S. No one asked if we had enjoyed our meal—otherwise, we would have shared this feedback directly.

A busy place in a fab setting, food ordered quickly and staff very friendly and helpful. Tables clean and cleared quickly. Food quality good, our burgers fab but the beef sandwich was pretty rubbish, very stringy and difficult to eat. Not usually like this.

We visited after we had been to the museum. We are frequent visitors to Cafe Ambio at Astley Park so thought we’d try this one. Between us we had a beef sandwich, a children’s lunch box, chips, hot drinks, cake and ice cream. The food and drinks were all hot and tasty. The kids sandwich was in a brioche bun which my son didn’t like and the ham was quite fatty. It does state on the menu it’s a roll not bread but it didn’t mention brioche- this was a huge issue for my son who has sensory issues. The staff were friendly and efficient, the place was clean and welcoming. I was stunned by how much more expensive it is compared to the other Cafe Ambio.

Outstanding food! My partner and I really enjoyed our visit here. We didn’t stay in the hotel but would consider it on our next visit. The staff were really lovely and made us feel very welcome. We both had starters- I had Pork Cheeks and my boyfriend had Camembert- both were incredible! For mains I had Chicken, Bacon, Leek Pie which came with sautéed potatoes, green beans and gravy. My boyfriend had Fillet Steak, which came with chips, tomatoes, broccoli, mushroom purée and he asked for a Wine Sauce. Wow! Both our meals were fantastic. We had no room for pudding but what we ate was very well worth it and we will be back!

Can’t fault the service but we ordered lamb from the Sunday roast menu and it arrived lukewarm and I couldn’t even cut into it with my knife it was that rubbery. I explained the issue to the waiter which the said they could send another one out fresh but by this point we just wanted to leave. Asked for the bill and they refused to remove food from the bill. So ended up paid without eating. Super overpriced.

As a group of friends meeting for pre Christmas lunch, we chose The Anglers for its convenient location, midway between Barrow and Kendal and for it’s good reviews. It was nicely decorated for Christmas and the food and service were excellent. There were not many people there, considering it was a Friday lunchtime, which was such a shame. Would thoroughly recommend it.

This was so disappointing and no idea where to start. The picture shown shows no resemblance to the food which was piled all together in a pile which we had never experienced in a restaurant before. Initially shown to a cold room to the left on entry. There were only 3 other couples in the dining room which for a Sunday Lunch was surprising. The Yorkshire pudding was soggy, beef tough and when extra gravy arrived it was lacking in taste. Overall not a pleasant experience.

When we arrived at the pub at 6.00 last Thursday evening for a meal we were the only people in the restaurant, we placed our order to a lady in a fleece!!!! Not very professional, we placed our order starters & main course, we waited 45 mins for the meal to arrive, when it arrived it was our main course no starters my husband said to the the young lad where was our starters!!!! He said he didn't know we ordered starters did we still want them we said yes he came back & told us they had not been ordered, he took the main meal back & we asked him not to keep the meal warm & we don't want it to be heated up, another long wait for starters to come prawn cocktail was disgusting it was served on a limp dark lettuce leaf. After another long wait main meal arrived the sirloin steak meal I ordered was not very nice the steak was very light in colour it did not look like a steak & it was tasteless also the chips were frozen thin cut chips, think on we were the only People in the restaurant so they were not rushed of there feet. The ambiance of the pub could be better it is not a very good advert to see the double wall lights bulbs with only one bulb working in all of them!!! I wonder if they are short of money as it looks like they cutting down on funds which is not a very good advert for the customers. This pub was a great pub years ago & it looks like it is struggling, needs something done with the ambiance & better served meal!!!! This pub could lend itself of being a great pub with good meals!!!

Very limited menu very expensive,no decent priced children’s meals,no variety on menu apart from change of pie ,very little vegetarian options,not a particularly well executed menu, unfortunately it’s impossible to get any food delivered to hotel as it’s in the middle of nowhere,I would never book this restaurant
