The best restaurants serving British food in Askham Eden North West

The most wonderful meal, ( not cheap)made with love and served with joy.. a delicious taste in every bite. We didn’t know what to expect, but imagine opening a cracker and discovering you have a gold coin, not a plastic one😄😄

I was extremely shocked when I asked for a pot of hot water with my tea to be told I would have to pay £1 for extra hot water (I don’t have milk as drink my tea black). I have been to lots of cafes and never been charged for extra hot water .. in fact in the majority of cafes you are given a pot without asking. The waitress was so apologetic and admitted she was embarrassed having to tell customers. I feel it is totally unnecessary and next time I visit Pooley Bridge I’ll take my custom elsewhere.

Me and my fiancé decided last minute to find a nice little room to stay over and as soon as we pulled up we realised we visited here for a meal the same time last year ! We were so happy because our previous visit was very good and the staff was lovely to us , so we knew we were in for a nice stay, the staff are all so lovely and welcoming , we was showed into our room which was nice and clean ! The new bathrooms where lovely too, I would definitely recommend staying here to anyone who is in the area! The breakfast was lovely too! 😊

This place is an absolute shambles, the boiler did not work leaving us without hot water and heating for the weekend, the place was filthy on arrival, all the crockery and pots and pans where dirty, When we told owner that the TV didn't work, he told us to buy one. I would not recommend this place until the owner has brought it up to standard. The advertised hot tub overlooks the neighbours house and gardens, and looks as if it was shoved in the only place it would fit.

Our Easter Sunday visit was deeply disappointing. When we arrived the hostess informed us lamb, beef and ham roasts would be on the menu, but when we ordered apparently lamb was not an option. The service dragged, and the staff barely made an effort to engage or even acknowledge our presence. The food? Severely underwhelming and overpriced. We had a beef burger that was dry with a potentially stale bun, and fish and chips that were both greasy and undercooked. Drinks were no better, with poorly poured ciders that didn’t even fill the glass. To top off an already disappointing visit, we were told the table was needed to be vacated after only being there for just over an hour, if we had ordered starters or anymore drinks it would have been an issue, on top of this the place was far from busy with multiple other empty tables. Desserts were equally unimpressive—the pavlova was such a letdown on arrival we sent it back. The manager’s only response was to ask if we wanted it taken off the bill. This place clearly banks on tourists, but it won't be getting any more business from us. If you care about quality food, decent service, or a welcoming atmosphere, give this spot a miss.
