The best restaurants in South Lakeland North West

Excellent 👌👍👌 absolutely perfect top 🎩 food expertly cooked. Excellent customer service and very reasonably priced.

Waited a long time for our meals to arrive (nothing special) pie was like concrete sausages not the best no fish and chips at 6pm !! Not much room in the restaurant for bigger families

I came in today with three friends who are over from Canada. We all had leek and potato soup and a sandwich. The soup was,awful it tasted of vinegar! We asked for it to be changed, so we had tomato and basil, which tasted like vinegar again! One of my friends managed to eat hers! I was not offered a refund! Do chefs/cooks not taste the food anymore before sending it out to customers? Would not recommend.

Went for lunch on Saturday meeting up with family to catch up over a meal. Found it on Google and went off the reviews, an unfortunate mistake. Set in a nice location a lovely looking old building that has been well set up as a small restaurant. Drinks were fine although on the fist attempt one was forgotten and an incorrect drink brought later on when ordering another round one was forgotten altogether but by that point reminded the server and asking for it just wasn't in anybody as we'd had the food. The menu, make sure you don't look at the hotel one by accident it will give you a false sense of quality. Personally I had the stake pie and chips with veg and gravy. Cooked throughly everything seemed straight out of a supermarket freezer section save the gravy which I dought was even bisto. Others got through and I'm afraid I have nothing more positive to share from them. As convenient and nice as it seems we will not be returning.

Just had an amazing meal food was very tasty can’t fault it one of the best meals we have had for a long time might have to squeeze another in before we go home

Great little cafe with reasonable prices for the Lake District. Had a lovely English breakfast and a black coffee which was nice.

Excellent place. Great food. Great staff. Breakfast wow. All items top quality. Quite a few steps. Toilets up 2 sets of steps.

Nice warm cosy place to stop by with decent pub grub and nice beers on. Parking is a bit limited (like everywhere round this neck of the woods) all in all, a very nice family meal had.

Four great aspects of the ODG The beers The fire The location The World famous sausage rolls. Not on menu this w/e but they are superb

Great chippy. Fish and chips are top class. Very popular place and you can see why. Option to dine in if you want. Caters for gluten free too. Highly recommend

The very first time I tried fish and chips - 2019 when I moved to the UK AMAZING.

Beautiful location, lovely food, very friendly and helpful staff and really nice rooms. And very dog friendly too.

First few times I've tried here it's been nice but the last few times I've had carbonara pasta it has been so bland, the man behind the counter had dirty hands as well not good for health & hygiene 🤢🤢 It just put me right off

Wow what an amazing little gem, food was exceptional, great atmosphere, friendly service, what more could you ask for! We will be back!!

Unfortunately Chester’s not what it was. Toilets are poor as can be evidenced by the negative comments by those queuing up to use them. Having said that and although we have seen a decline in the level of service ie paper bags and no table service et al the food especially bakery products remain outstanding. It would appear that things are now geared to help the running of the establishment rather than to ensure good customer service. We have been visiting Chester for years and the decline is very noticeable but we will give it another chance because apart from anything else the actual location is outstanding.
