The best restaurants serving British food in Roosecote Barrow-in-Furness North West

Lovely wee pub. We stopped in whilst in the area briefly. Very warm inside and we received a very warm friendly welcome by the regulars who were very nice to us and our dogs

We booked for 8 people for our Boxing Day lunch. We had viewed the Christmas menu and were looking forward to our meal. On arrival we were informed that the Chef left a week ago and there were no Roast dinners on the menu. Apparently the replacement "Chef" thought people would have had enough of Christmas dinners so was not cooking any. I think it's appalling that we were not contacted and made aware of the situation so that we could have made an informed decision on whether to attend, very dishonest and unprofessional. We were given a very basic menu which included fish and chips, pie, scampi etc, not very Christmassy and not even a cracker or festive napkin in site. Soup was luke warm, scampi tasteless and the only thing I enjoyed was the sticky toffee pudding, and at £7.50 that was a relief. A bill of over £200 for an overwhelmingly disappointing experience. Will not be returning.

Came with my family for a casual meal only to walk through a beer garden full of drunks who appeared to be loud, uncontrolled and very unwelcoming. My previous visit last year was a completely different experience. Very disappointing.

Very cold I wished I'd worn something warmer. There appeared to be only one lady working bar, taking food orders and serving both areas . There wasn't a lot of customers and after reading that there was a new innovative chef I was surprised there weren't more curious customers. We ordered a roast. I had beef and my husband had lamb. Plenty of meat which was well cooked and tasty. The veg were beyond Al Dente, they were hard, there was a very thin sliver of carrot, some hard batons of parsnip, a piece of hard cauliflower and hard broccoli. There were two very pale and very small " roast " potatoes, a couple of table spoons of mash potato and some tasty gravy . I am the least fussy eater in the world but didn't enjoy this meal . The Yorkshire puddings were nice. Sadly we won't be going back. Very disappointed as we had high hopes .
