The best restaurants serving British food in Appleby (Bongate) Eden North West

Visited this pub 2 years ago and went back again this september 2024. Aaron and carolyn are great hosts and the food is well worth the trip. All cooked by carolyn herself. Main meals between £15 to £19 well worth the price good selection of beers. So if you are looking for a great meal in a lovely old style pub with beams and roaring fire this is the place to go.

After completing Ben Nevis, one of our fellow friends became unwell and was unable to to continue to the other mountains to complete the ’Three peaks’ under 24hrs. We see this amazing castle on route back and checked in later that evening. The grounds & facilities are stunning. They where very accommodating with their restaurant menu. We were served with outstanding food and the personal touch especially with the Chef ‘Chris’ who actually came out and presented what we were eating which I thought was a really great touch! He then personally gave us his time to even show us around some of the castle which was a great way to fishing off our night. Our first visit even thou a short stay, I would highly recommend to stay and eat here. Thank you.

We dined in Bustro 1871 as part of a short break holiday at the Appleby Manor Hotel. What a lovely break this was. Our first after the Spring and Summer lockdown. The food was really good and the waiters attentive. Appleby Manor itself is a delightful hotel full of old world charm. We are returning there again for my wife's birthday in October. I shall again dine in Bistro 1871 as well as sampling the gourmet restaurant at the hotel on our second night.

Stayed overnight and had dinner and breakfast. Lovely room, lovely staff and lovely food!. Woukd definable cone again.
