We only ended up here because the 2 pubs up the road were closing(10pm) There was 7 of us all 70 somethings so hardly rowdy and would have spent a fair bit on drinks. They did us a huge favour, it was alovely friendly place geared up for families with games on the tables,drinks were good and reasonable for the area. We do get fed up with the lakes complaining about the lack of tourists but they make little effort to encourage custom with the restricted opening and reluctance to take largish reservations for meals So we were extremely pleased to find this little gem

After a long walk, (you know when your legs are like jelly and you're a bit delirious), the Three Hares Cafe was a caramel-packed safehaven. I've visited hundreds of cafes (and reviewed a fair few on here) and the negative reviews are a little baffling. Yes, the scones look burnt but they are airy light and a welcome companion to a brew. Funnily enough, they probably know how to make a decent scone given the expertise across the road at the Black Bull Inn. It is a small cafe, only a few tables, that doubtless gets filled quickly but Sedbergh has alternatives nearby if you're stuck. They nailed my preference for a caramel slice (90% oozing caramel) and the pies and other bits we took home all hit the spot. Special mention for their donuts. They look like giant charred cannon balls that ooze jam. Glorious when warmed up.

Just outstanding. Amazing service- the owner made us feel comfortable. Even got to speak to the chef about the amazing food! We both had a panini, super tasty and big portions. Great value for money. 100% recommend this great spot.

Arrived to find a decent car park which is always handy. Upon checking in, the welcome was warm, to a traditional looking hostelry with loads of character and the guy who showed us to our room was really sweet. The room was cosy, clean and had a decent bathroom with plenty of hot water and a brilliant shower. The setting is beautiful, just off the main road but you would never know as it is really peaceful and a lovely view across to the village church. The bar and restaurant staff were a joy and nothing was too much trouble for them, they even welcomed the “lively” dog that came in tow. A good selection of drinks were available. Breakfast was to die for, delicious. We didn’t eat in the restaurant as we were visiting family but will be sure to next time. Can’t recommend The Wheatsheaf enough, and amazing value as well.

For a Tuesday it was wonderfully busy. Lovely staff and great food. Definitely worth a try. The aubergine parmigiana was lovely. I would say the vodka sauce could be a little thicker but it was still very tasty!! Definitely will be back 😊

Friendly staff that welcomed us (family of four), without a booking. Food arrived within a reasonable timescale, was tasty/ well presented on plate but was over priced for the ingredients and quality of cooking. My pheasant was very dry, little or no seasoning on smashed potatoes and the kids meal was a bowl of pasta with very little vegetables. As we were visiting and it was an unplanned meal, it did the job. But given the prices and quality of food we would probably not plan to return.

Great cafe in the centre of Grasmere and perfect for lunch after a long walk. I had the swedish meatballs which were delicious. They also serve lovely cakes too.

Where can we go today i thought, The Punch Bowl at Barrows Green i thought. I had chicken goujons to start and Lambs Liver with Mash for my main. The wife had Lasagne for the main and Chocolate Brownie for dessert. We were both really pleased with what we had. It wasn't expensive either, very reasonable. Oh and the John Smiths bitter was very moreish.

My daughter went for lunch with her 14 month old baby struggled to get in with buggy no help, i.know its not the best access ,however she went down to cafe sat there,for at least 15 min.no one came to serve her,one customer complained over charged so went to pay and sort it however still no service for my daughter, so she had enough walked out in disgrace ,went to square cafe instead. She wont use this place again, while visiting ,might be short staffed but its still bad service, i.live here so did my daughter till had the baby ,till service is sorted i wont use cafe either, im.doing this review as daughter was furiouse and i wasnt pleased either, so hopefully it can be sorted and not let people in cafe wait for too long or even ignored !

Stayed a night on a trip down south. Beautiful setting. Lodge was immaculate, quiet and comfortable. Restaurant on site serving pub grub. Tasty and reasonably priced. Highly recommend a stay!
