Lovely people and lovely service really couldn’t fault them. Keep up the amazing work will definitely see you soon :) ps the homemade soup is to die for😃

Friendly welcome and delicious food at very fair prices. First visit since 2018 and we'll be going back as soon as we can.

This was my first time visiting this restaurant and throughly enjoyed it . Husband and wife team very attentive and helpful. This restaurant sometimes doesn't look very busy but the food was very tasty . I had hummus to start which clearly was homemade and the bread too . For my main I had spicy chicken meatballs in a rich tomato sauce with saffron rice. The food is a combination of Lebanese and Turkish. The menu was extensive so plenty to choose from . Covers all different tastes . Will be returning. Thank you .

Muy bien cuidado bar. Gente muy amable dirigiéndolo y cervezas encantadoras. Muy agradable para los perros y Enano Rojo fue creado aquí. ¿Qué más se puede pedir?

Called in for a quick drink with friends on a Saturday evening in March 2025, as a first time visitor. The place was clean and nicely laid out, and we were greeted with a friendly smile from the staff. Staff were polite and we didn’t feel rushed at any point, even though we were only having a drink and toom our time perusing the drinks menu. The atmosphere was relaxed and really made for a good experience. We all ordered cocktails, and none of them disappointed – I had the local variation of the Long Island Ice Tea and it was delicious: very well made, really good size of drink, and at a good price. Also the gents toilet – although compact – was clean and fresh. Would recommend, and will visit again. In fact, technically we did as we left to go somewhere round the corner but it was busy so we went back to the Wild Inn and had the same again!

We have been visiting Iced Bakes most Saturdays for a while and always look forward to our warm welcome. Home from home. Such a nice place to rest up and eat after a walk or cycle ride. Lovely cakes, home cooked food and great people. Our favorite cafe for sure and if you need a gift for a celebration you can get that too. 👍

Hidden Gem. We pride ourselves on serving top quality food and excellent service. We have a high glass take away service also indoor and outdoor dining. You won’t be disappointed

Lovely cafe and food love the option of tomato sausages staff friendly first time visit and will definitely visit again

Excellent service abd food ,well done to all the staff you have got it right. Menu fab plenty of choice , freshly prepared .

Went in on my lunch break and I was a pound short for my order and without hesitation they still gave me what I wanted even though I didn’t have enough money, most places wouldn’t even think of doing that. Class owners great food. Top place

Amazing home made food! If you want a big breaky come here it’s huge and tasty! Staff are so pleasant and accommodating. Overall a lovely experience.

So I’m not normal one to leave a review, that being said overall I was hugely disappointed with the meal I had at the Knipe Grill at Gilpin Lake House. Firstly - we were show to our table and and iPad dropped on the table. Yes this is a menu and yes I can work and iPad. But with the hotel boasts 5 stars I expect a little more interaction. -With an experienced chef David with many an accolade, unfortunately I was underwhelmed. You quote “My food is fun, there’s always a bit of a story behind it, a bit of nostalgia and playfulness” Sadly there was no story no fun. This was primarily down the the service and the lack of engagement, talking us through the menu, championing and highlighting locality, seasonally and recommendations. The level of service we received for the price paid just wasn’t up to standard. - and finally whilst I know this is a hotel with a hot tub, there is something about having a group of people in bath robes walking through the restaurant heading to the hot tub a little strange. I wouldn’t expect this from a restaurant in a 3 star Spanish hotel, let alone a 5 star very expensive hotel/restaurant in the lakes In summary the restaurant's inexperience staff led to poor service, which significantly impacted the dining experience. The lack of knowledge and attentiveness resulted in frustration and dissatisfaction. While the food showed potential, it ultimately fell short of the expected standard considering the price paid. Overall, the combination of what seemed like inexperienced staff and underwhelming food quality makes this restaurant a less than satisfying choice. Sorry for this review but unfortunately this is a true reflection of my/out experience.

We first bought bread from Lovingly Artisan at the market in Kendal, then later from their bakery at Plumgarth's Farm Shop. Everything we tried was delicious and if we lived in this area, this would be our go to for great quality bread. If you’re lucky you may score a free tasting on their countertop from samples put out and once you’ve had a taste you’ll be coming back for more. Highly recommended.
