Brilliant little cafe....great friendly service....good food.....

Amazing sandwiches, cakes and afternoon tea boxes! Highly recommended!

The food was great the hospitality was amazing. As a local I'm happy to come back here every single day.

Amazing food. Everything was presented and tasted lovely. Nice relaxed atmosphere and service was not rushed at all. Portions are large so don't order too much. We would definitely return.

Lovely experience altogether. The staff were very attentive, the food was excellent, and everywhere was clean and looking well. The place was a little quiet so lacked a bit of atmosphere, but that was due to the time of our visit so you can't blame the venue for that. Will be returning in the near future.

Never write bad reviews but used to love coming here and recommended it to friends. Arrived at 6.30pm and to be fair, it was bit busy. We were put in back area where it was just us there and it was very cold and felt miserable. Asked woman on reception if we could have table in the corner where it felt cosy & was simply told it was booked. I said it was my husband's birthday (it was) so just wanted a bit of atmosphere & she said "you should have booked then". No politeness. I nicely explained we'd been to see family & didnt know our timings. I'm apologising!!!! Now I've worked in hospitality & you could have said..."do you mind waiting for a table to come free?" Or "sorry we're busy but we'll find something soon." Ordered drinks and then a table came free so we asked for that and was told..."that's booked". . We then saw another table near bar and asked for that one. "Oh...I'll have to check..." waited, waited. Given the table. I had no drink left & asked for wine list. In the time it took to order food and for it to arrive...not asked about drinks. The steak frites was awful. Measly portion of meat and bland colour. I've had this at Church Inn (a Robbies pub) and it was fantastic. Was given dessert menu but again waited ages so just asked for the bill. By the way...the table in the corner was still empty!!! Other couples who came in were not put in the back room where we'd been put. Stayed polite throughout but won't be going back.

2nd visit to this fabulous restaurant with rooms but this time under new owners/management. You instantly feel at home when you walk into the cosy reception area for a welcome complimentary hot drink and a slice of the most amazing lemon drizzle cake. We noticed that a full redecoration had taken place since our first visit and the quality just oozes from the paint on the walls. We chose a different room type from last time and were perfectly comfortable before getting ready for our evening dinner. The dinner was superb with the beef being the stand out dish for me but the gorgeous bread ran it a close second believe it or not! Great table service from the staff, nice and friendly and relaxed and not a hint of stuffiness involved. Great selection of wines of which they are happy for you to take tastes and find your favorites by the glass. The place was busy for a mid week evening which can only bode well for this unique property in the heart of Cumbria. I know people say they will go back but we have been and will again. Brilliant !

A lovely hotel on the edge of Grasmere

Proper pub, has bands on. Prices are cheapest around. Bar staff are lovely. What's not to like...

Lovely venue and friendly place

Lovely pub, great staff! My son loves coming in too and it’s always a nice atmosphere

In need of a major makeover and the food although cooked fresh was very bland and the chips dripping in grease and the 'cod' batter was undercooked and no where near crisp - very disappointed in every aspect unfortunately
