The best restaurants in South Lakeland North West

Perfection! Beautiful restaurant, amazing food and lovely service. Highly recommend! The best Featherblade of Beef I’ve ever had.

It’s such a lovely stop off before the motorway or heading to the dales the staff are friendly and quick to serve , the food is excellent.

Thoroughly enjoyed our tapas selection (meeting selection plus halloumi and patatas braves. With the extra benefit of unseasonably warm weather we were able to eat al fresco and could almost have been in Spain. Buzzy atmosphere, good food and friendly service. Recommended.

Love this place. The decor is really nice. The staff are friendly and helpful. The food is fantastic. The house kebab and the butter curry are awesome. Credit to the chef. My only gripe is the children’s menu, fish goujons, fish and chips, scampi and chips are 3 of the options and my kids hate fish. No chicken options at all. But this is still my favourite place to go in Kirkby Lonsdale.

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.

We visited for Sunday lunch on Easter Sunday. We chose to eat in the dinning room as prefer not to eat in dog friendly spaces. The restaurant was quiet but pleasant. The Sunday lunch was very good and served on very hot plates which I love. Beautiful pink beef. Crispy roast potatoes and creamy mash. Tasty flavourful gravy. Desert was pleasant but we were too full to really enjoy it. Will definitely return.

A Cat Rescue/Pub...I stopped in to try "The Cat Pissed IPA" Which was a smooth & refreshing IPA. The facility sells cans of their Microbrew...so I got to purchase a few cans for later

A great pub and a shout out to Nicola who was friendly and efficient, helping me sort the preorder for all 16 of us who ate there. We all enjoyed our food, thankful of a place to dry off - it was a wet day in the Lakes! - and appreciated you being able to accommodate such a large group of us. Would definitely recommend and will be bcak when we are next in the area

Unbelievable service from beginning to end. Excellent food. The staff at bar couldn't do enough to help out. If we ever pass by again, we'll stay nowhere else! Cliff & Leslie Kondra

Visited Windermere today with our cocker spaniel It was chilly so didn’t really want a outdoor seat for coffee and meal which seemed to be all we could have with a dog However we came across ‘Slate’ Dogs welcome We were promptly welcomed and given a menu, and advised our order would be collected as soon as we were ready Coffee was served, very nice Followed by our meals, very well presented and exactly what was described Prices were completely reasonable for what we had Would highly recommend and will return if we come again to Windermere

Delicious food, friendly staff & dog friendly too. We had a lovely family lunch, the portions were so generous we had to order our desserts to go - didn’t want to miss out on the delicious cakes! Would 100% recommend.

This is a lovely, albeit small, cafe. The views are amazing, if you're lucky enough to get an outdoor table. The blueberry scones are amazing. I always visit if I'm in the area.

Restaurant was a little short staffed but did not affect the quality of the food . We had the salmon fillet and the seabass , cant remember the dessert except that it was excellent . Accompanied by a decent bottle of malbec . Slightly disappointed that they could not make expresso martinis but would difinitely eat here again.

Lovely setting nice drinks food not good the menu is shocking only 2 things to choose from. Burgers or pizza. We. Went for a burger and that’s what you got. No salad no chips and no coleslaw. If you want any of them it’s 4 quid extra per choice. we will not be returning any time soon unless something changes

Visited this evening with our dog. Such friendly service and the dog was spoilt with a nice blanket to lay on and lots of treats. The food was delicious and well presented. We did the happy hour deal and both agreed it was the best meal we have had while staying in Ambleside. Would go again if we are every back in the area.
