The best restaurants serving British food in Ambleside and Grasmere South Lakeland North West

A very disappointing experience. Staff friendly and helpful, drinks OK but food below par. On next visit will use another pub

Attractive appearance, menu looked appealing. 6 adults, one 12-year-old and a baby. Very accommodating about providing a table. Ordered food, waited 30+ minutes. 2 burgers overdone and hard, 1 burger raw/ uncooked, fish 90% batter, very little fish and overcooked called server, very offhand. Complained at bar and had 2 meals refunded. No manager available on premises. On the basis of our experience, cannot recommend.

Excellent suroundings for a coffee stop while walking the area. Great choice of eats and drinks, and very pleasant service. Highly recommended.

Just wow. The nicest ice cream EVER. The lady serving was lovely and the ice cream was amazing. Will deffo be going back next time we visit this area. Highly recommend.

Solíamos disfrutar de sándwiches de aquí bajo la propiedad anterior y nos complació ver que los nuevos propietarios han comenzado a preparar comida para llevar. Tuve una envoltura de falaffel y houmous que estaba absolutamente deliciosa junto con un buen postre.

Come across this place when on q day trip. Restraunt well decorated and relaxing atmosphere. Food was fantastic, portion sizes were good.

What an absolute amazing place, highly recommend

Great food, comfortable suroundings and the staf are very friendly, Nick looked after us and made sure we had a wonderful evening, the cleanliness was superb.

Last I was at the “roak” as us locals call it, Eddie was seen helping a women fill out her cv for an infectious disease unit in the alps. He single handley wrote her cv and secured her role in the future of the industry, thank Eddie for curing the common cold!

Always love calling in here for battered haggis. Great service and delish food and if you don't want to eat in, there is a beautiful park just down the road to sit and enjoy the views of the mountains while you munch away 👍

Popped in for breakfast when on a day trip to Ambleside. We had a small breakfast and a bacon & sausage roll with a pot of tea and a latte. The food was good, as were the drinks. Staff very friendly and dog friendly. The price was high really, £24 for the above but it is the same all over.

Terrible service, waited 15 minutes to actually be acknowledged at the sign that said "Wait Here to be Seated" no apology for having to wait, then shown to a table and we sat waiting for another 20 mins and nobody came to the table to take our drink or food order so we stood up and left, as we were leaving the couple opposite said they had been waiting for 30 mins for their order and were considering doing the same as us! This place needs proper management

New Dungeon Ghyll probably has much more to offer than just a cold, good beer, but for me it was just the place I arrived at, after an intense day of hiking in the mountains. A pint of beer, slowly sipped at a table outside the restaurant, tasted delicious!

A wonderful find. A warm welcome with great service and food to be found here. Had the warm Brie bacon and cranberry baguette which was delicious. Situated right on the pier with fabulous views. I would thoroughly recommend this place and will be back someday.

Great service compliments the menu which always has a Sunday roast dinner on Sundays. You need to book in advance to ensure of a table at your chosen time as there is nothing worse than being turned away and having to wait for a table.
