The best restaurants serving British food in North West

The most amazing breakfast ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great service and value for money Will definitely return 👍🏻

Amazing food and value for money as always. Scott was a shining star for us on the evening. Enthusiasm, passion, Attention to detail and an infectious vibe. Thank you for a great evening!

As soon as we walked into this pub, we knew it was going to be good. A small, community run pub with 2 roaring log burners and a warm welcome! I ordered one of the cocktails, the berry one and it was delicious and my partner ordered the alpaca lypse and they let him keep the glass it came in. We then ordered our mains and both had the pie; it didn't disappoint. There was so much meat and the gravy was lovely. Pudding was also amazing; two big portions of syrup sponge and chocolate fudge cake. When we are back in the lakes, we will definitely be back!

It was our second visit for afternoon tea at Cedar Manor with our first visit being 2 years ago and it was just as wonderful. Such a beautiful place with the best, most delicious afternoon tea. They are so welcoming and Cedar Manor is just beautiful. Thank you again for a lovely visit. We will definitely come again!

What a great find... lovely welcome, very friendly and quick service. Great breakfast choices... gluten free no problem...loads of variety, well presented and served with a smile. Nice place to sit with plenty of space between tables...not packed in like some other cafes. Good value... and it also is fully licensed. Fantastic family business.

wonderful to actually receive a warm welcome and excellent service. We had soup and chips. Actually proper home made chips and was soup delicious . We were so full decided to have half a scone each. So enjoyable. Everything was spot on. The only downside they are closing 30.03.25. So sad - just a little gem. Nothing was too much trouble- service with a smile along with excellent food. Many could learn lessons from this restaurant. Brilliant. May you have every success with everything you undertake

Love this place, have been going since it first opened. Style, atmosphere and location is perfect. Great views, easy walking distance to Elterwater, Chapel Stile, Grasmere and Ambleside. Food is always delicious, good portion size and nice menu variation. Cocktails are good and highly recommend the gin and vodka from the nearby distillery. Staff are warm and friendly with good service. Cosy fire in winter.

This is such a great place to go after a hike or just a treat. We have been many times and this is the best ice-cream in the Lakes. Staying in Hawkshead we knew there was a shop near by for our ice cream needs. The ice cream shop was the only reason why we stayed in Hawkshead this time . The first time we went on this trip there was a queue but the young lad handled it very well. The ice cream is always so delicious and well worth the price( it's a great price to what you get in London) and you get a massive scoop. Always friendly staff and very clean and hygienic shop. Awesome ice cream even when it's raining

Love visiting Whittle Vintage Tearooms, food is delicious, staff are friendly, cakes always scrumptious, lovely atmosphere, see you soon 🌸

Our first visit after our own village pub had to close down. What a revelation and just like a proper pub should be - obviously due to Kev, the owner, and his team’s friendly expertise. Running a successful pub is not for amateurs these days. We took advantage of the Steak Night with excellent 8oz filet steaks, cooked rare to perfection, and a bottle of Rioja. The menu looks interesting with daily specials that we will try next time. Well done to the owners, you deserve your success.

Food excellent as usual however disappointed to have a 12% Service Charge slapped on my bill. Not had this before. We have always tipped but not always being capable of it being a substantial tip, but our gratitude for the service was always there. Spoilt what had been an excellent evening.

We have dined at the Glasshouse on numerous occasions and the standards are unwavering. The food and service are amazing, the atmosphere is relaxed and it's a really brilliant way to give young people the life experience they need to create a great career. Love it!

If it is open, I would always go here. Everything is home made, delicious and of excellent quality. The best in the Lake District. They cater for all diets and the staff are always attentive and pleasant.

Called today, Sunday, the young girl served me a small amount of Ice cream, about 40% less than usual, exactly the same happened last week. I won't be calling here again.

This was our second time dining at 263 and it was just as wonderful as the first. I had a family member visiting and the team had very kindly signed a menu as a little memento - what a great touch! The food was once again incredible with a few changes from the menu on our previous visit - impossible to pick a single highlight but the salt aged beef was certainly the best I've ever had, and the black trompette madeleine instantly unlocked treasured childhood memories of freshly baked cakes - a perfect way to finish the meal. The team were fantastic, a slick but personable service that shows their commitment to the craft. The Sommelier was able to flex her knowledge of wines by expertly helping us select a bottle for the table based on our tastes - never an easy task when there are three people, but it was the perfect accompaniment to the meal. Overall just another brilliant experience from 263 and I'm already excited to return!
