The best restaurants serving British food in North West

After a walk from Kirkby Stephen, we stopped by on a Monday evening expecting it to be quiet and for the pub to easily be able to fit us in. We could not have been more wrong, it was very busy with booked tables and a great atmosphere. However, we didn’t need to worry the staff were so friendly and accommodating finding us a table. The service was quick and the food was fabulous. The portions were huge! We will visit again and will be recommending to our guests.

Went a christening n lovely bar staff but bit expensive

Best brewery tour with the best tour guide. Gary is incredibly knowledgeable while being very entertaining and engaging. Very sad that the old brewery is closing but this company has a great heritage of investing in the future while being mindful of their history. I’m also delighted to hear that the shire horses will continue their work after moving to the new brewery site.

Bought a pistachio croissant yesterday omg the best ever, shame i was travelling back to North Wales otherwise i would have gone back and bought a try full 😋

We noticed this cafe when heading into Ambleside and decided to give it a whizz for a coffee and a snack…. What a great find, lovely and clean, comfortable atmosphere and great views. As a lover of pistachio lattes I was not disappointed 😊 and the fruit bread really hit the spot - thank you xx

Food is excellent here, a good range of dishes that are not too expensive but are very tasty plus the service is very quick, 10/10

Actually looking at massively rude responses from these *owners* I'm very glad I didn't order any thing more. Most of All the Good reviews are written about previous owner and that's why people think this is a good place to go. But clearly from the really terribly rude replies to any of the reviews that demonstrates a concern for its quality and customer service is replied with awful rudeness.. Based on the replies to reviews alone. If you have any sense. I'd give this place a wide berth... And find somewhere else where you are not verbally abused by the staff. Who wants to give money to people like that? Thank god it was just a coffee.

La anciana me ayudó a recoger regalos maravillosos para mis colegas. Es una pena que los clientes sean impacientes y groseros con ella cuando está sola en la tienda. Vendré pronto.

The business is under new ownership and now just sells ice cream, rock, sweets and other novelties. We ordered ice cream and it was grainy so the children threw it away. Really disappointing.

Cafe has to be clean and hygienic for me to enjoy a meal out. This was such a place. I felt comfortable sitting in this cafe on my own (not always the case) and I thought the food was excellent at good prices.

We ate here twice in two days. The food is excellent. The owners and staff are very welcoming and friendly. We particularly recommend the soups, but it was all superb. Good value for money

Took our Beagle with us for Sunday Lunch,he had a water bowl and little snack on the house. We had a fab u lous time, brilliant food and service that didn't break the bank. Can't recommend it too highly.👍

Absolutely outrageous. We walked in and there were barely any customers. Just walked in for a drink and were immediately approached by a very rude member of staff who asked if we were there to eat or drink. We said we’d just like to have a drink. She pointed us to a table which was not set out for dining and said you can sit there but you can only have an hour. Apparently, if we only wanted to have a drink we could only stay for an hour Disgusting customer service, why are we only allowed an hour to finish your bottle of wine at outrageous prices. Certainly won’t be going again and have spread the word

Amazing service! Foods amazing and so fresh. Definitely come here again 😁😁 pricing is amazing aswell. PERFECT LOCATION RIGHT NEAR THE RIVER

What a fantastic evening my friends and I had, the drag dj was GREAT. made our evening singing dancing 💃 highly recommend stopping by..
