The best restaurants in South Lakeland North West

Stayed for a minimoon in a suite - it was very relaxing, charming and a great weekend

Lovely food, nicely served. Great atmosphere, busy and bustling but no delays on foods. Fish pie was a dream, beautifully served with a bowl of mixed fresh vegetables

Delicious vegan mozzarella on my pizza!

Ate here for dinner the last Saturday in September - very busy so need to book. Enjoyable meal and friendly service. Reasonably pricey, as is everywhere in Grasmere. I had the French onion soup and rack of lamb, both of which were very good indeed.

It was the first time coming to this restaurant and it won’t be our last! We aren’t local to the area but next time we visit we will definitely be booking a table here again. The staff were so friendly and explained the menu in detail, they couldn’t do enough for you. The food was absolutely delicious! Honestly the best burger I have ever had. My husband had the 3 piece meat platter and said it was amazing. The sauces offered were delicious too! Can’t wait to come back here in the not so near future. Thank you for a lovely meal 😁

Went for lunch and will definitely be returning for dinner one day! You can tell the chef cares about the quality of the food, you won't be disappointed.

Amazing food, good beers and an excellent location. Really enjoyed the sirloin it was superb. My partner enjoyed the cajun chicken and several pints of Beavertowns Nexk oil. Will be back

Great food and service. But… Prices were a bit higher than expected. The only toilet is outside, the lock doesn’t work, there was no soap and it was dirty. Staff didn’t seem to care and said “oh”. But apart from the toilet issues it was good.

Drove a bit to find the place closed up and in darkness. Why show the business as being open when it isn't. Terrible to have inaccurate information online.

The Brexit sinking ship forced me to find solace in the grog, only to end up in a vegan restaurant, might as well have fed me to a tribe of cannibals. In all seriousness though the remainders are worse than chain smokers, who at least smoke outside and do not prop up the bar talking about the bygone days of EU compliant sausages ;)

El sitio muy rico la gente muy amable lo recomiendo a todos en familia o en pareja . El personal es muy atento con las mesas y respetuosos.

Great food at a good price and friendly staff.

These guys don't understand allergies. Really nice atmosphere, good service but don’t trust them on allergy info. Didn’t like being questioned about ingredients

Very much disappointed. It’s called spa hotel but it’s almost impossible to get in the spa. We managed to book one day in spa a week in advance, it was not bad, especially staying outside in the outdoor pool. The next day we tried to book a spa again - no chances for three days ahead. We tried to go to spa during so called complementary hours, which is most inconvenient time of the day - during the breakfast and dinner time. It turned out that complimentary spa is only inside, which just a swimming pool, one small jacuzzi and one infrared sauna. To go outside you should book in advance again, which is of course unavailable since they are completely occupied. It’s called a spa hotel, but besides you have to pay for the spa separately, it’s not possible to use it. I paid £450 per night for the room, ready to pay extra for the spa, but can’t use it? Room is the only thing which is ok, but I stayed in the most expensive part, I understood the rooms in other buildings are not so good. Strange thing that TV set had only few channels, no Netflix or other streaming services and all the ways to connect it from own device are blocked. I visited both restaurants - was disappointed by the food. Breakfast is not bad, but they could offer fresh orange juice, which they don’t do. I had face and feet massage (booked in advance of course) - it was slapdash work. The location is ok, had some lake view from the window, but there are a lot of hotels nearby with the same or better location. Service was ok, no complaints, but in general I am very much unsatisfied with my stay.

Tucked away in a small side street this restaurant is very popular. The staff and ambiance are good. Entrees are particularly good and we heard a lot of good comments about the food. The thing that let in down for me was the desserts. They were all £9 and personally l thought this a little steep. We would go again but not have a pudding. Booking is highly recommended.
