We both opted for chicken broth starter. My friend had pork and I ox cheek with egg fried rice. We both enjoyed the Jamaican ginger bread and coconut and lime sorbet...Delicious! We actually attended Gilpin on the Spa and Spice package. We really enjoyed the whole experience and felt totally spoilt. The Spa and the Spice staff could not have been more welcoming. We will be back. Although we didn't spend a great deal in the restaurant, in comparison with the rest of the Spa experience, we now know we can enjoy a first class meal separately without the Spa part. Treat ourselves!
6 of us ate in yesterday, the food was so good and service was wonderful. The young man who waited on us was extremely polite. Can highly recommend and will be back again!
Superb hotel. Spacious, beautifully appointed room with private patio looking out onto stunning views.
Warm, friendly and professional staff. Breakfast was excellent.
There are plenty of walks, the lake and lots of cafes, pubs and restaurants. We especially loved a visit to Dove Cottage to find out more about Wordsworth! Can thoroughly recommend a visit to Grasmere and a stay at The Grand.
The best service and bar staff .. Outstanding In fact …
the lads in there Sunday night were really fabulous..
perfect staff
Have visited South Cumbria pubs often .., their service and attentiveness were first class ..
Well Done. And thank you
Ordered 2 flat white coffees… took 20 minutes to make…. Coffee was way too hot to drink, it was bitter.Employ a Barista & they will know haw to make coffee, how hot the milk should be & how to clean your coffee machine….also your Barista can teach the owners how to run a coffee shop
10/10 food. Lady was super friendly as we ordered. There was room to sit down and wait whilst our food was cooked. Food itself was delicious and still piping hot when we arrived back at the hotel which took 10 minutes before we unpackaged it all and ate. Absolutely reccomend going here!
Popped in for a quick coffee and cake. Zeferrelis is a cut above all the other cafes in town but is the most reasonable. Some of the overpriced 'chain' establishments charge an arm and a leg for mediocre coffee and bought in cake. Zeffs has an amazing pastry chef and it shows, yet the prices are the best in town
The food was absolutely grim....tough tasteless fried "chicken Kiev" with fried burnt crumbs stuck to the coating....they had the audacity to call it a special 😂😂😂 it Was especially vile and I could taste the chip pan. Avoid unless you are absolutely desperate.. You'd be better off going to the Tesco express for a pot noodle.
Always look forward to visiting The Apple Pie. First visit since they changed to counter ordering but no issues. Process was efficient and accurate. Just when you thought that toasting was the best thing to do with a bath bun, they've now got bath bun French toast with cherry compote and whipped cream. Wow. Like a bath bun bread and butter pudding but light and fluffy. This place gets really busy and a bit chaotic in season due to its popularity but in mid-Feb was brisk enough to have some atmosphere but without the hustle and bustle.
A fabulous resturant, the cosy atmosphere, friendly staff and excellent food quality. The wines are a fantastic selection, this is a must if you are serious about enjoying good food and drink. We were there for the first time with family last night, it will not be our last visit.
