The best restaurants in South Lakeland North West

On a rainy Tuesday late morning, we were welcomed by courteous and helpful staff. Delicious food was freshly prepared yet absolutely worth the wait whilst freshly prepared. Quirky historic clipping to entertain and raise a smile whilst taking in the ambience. Very helpful guy in the adjoining shop shares ideas for our remaining holiday. We had poached eggs on toast and a ciabatta cheese toastie. Fruit scone with butter and tiffin and 2 coffees for around £25. Very much worth a visit

Had the Monties breakfast absolutely fantastic food the service is fast the staff are warm and welcoming definitely recommend.

Tried to visit this place again after an amazing experience in 2021 and found it’s closed down. Disappointing as was an outstanding place.

The atmosphere and food are spot on here in this idyllic village setting. I’ve been here a few times and always love the walks around the valley and the Grizedale Forest.

Great location for the races at Cartmel but the lack of staff was evident in the overall running of the premises. Service was lovely and the breakfast meal was decent but everything was looking a little tired and in need of a good sprucing up. Ideal for an overnight stop if you are going to the races or visiting Ulverston or Windermere.

Brilliant little local pub found on a weekend away great staff and lovely food drinks slightly more expensive than elsewhere but well worth it.

Tempted by window display. No prices displayed, shocked at prices. Asked if I wanted vegan sausage roll warmed. Outside was warm, middle stone cold. Stodgy, salty filling. Would have preferred a Greggs. Over priced and disappointing 😞

Lovely staff, food and atmosphere.

Very good mother's Day lunch. We were a large group. All the food came out together and was delicious. Desserts too were traditional and lovely. Service was polite, and well organised. Only thing I would have preferred is a local beer.

Wouldn’t recommend eating here - was served mouldy bread with the burgers and the other meals we ordered weren’t very nice - a place to avoid

Amazing Bar , very friendly staff, great views, Loved the decor inside. Very nice food and drinks, will return again soon.

Don’t bother wasting your money at this fish and chip shop. No cod available at 6.30pm. Haddock was dry and very small. Like no haddock I have had before. Small overcooked fillet with Greasy batter. Chips weren’t nice either. Mushy peas tasted different to any others too. This was the only choice as the other fish and chip shops were closed. Reading other reviews I’m hoping I don’t have any after effects! Left most of my dinner.

Superb food and excellent serice from Tom this evening. All the food was delicious, especially the braised belly pork. Highly recommend.

Good food and friendly staff, the prices are great value for money with plenty of food. We will be back again on our next trip.

Breakfast here was superb. Both had the full English and it was perfect in every way. Cafe was busy on the sunday morning we visited but after a 10 min wait we were seated (weather not good enough to sit outside where there are more seats. The food was nothing short of excellent.
