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

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.

My wife and I were on a cruise on Lake Windermere and we decided to get off and have lunch in this cafe. We both had tasty Leek & Potato soup, served with bread, along with 2 coffees. So nice just to sit at the table overlooking the lake whilst enjoying our lunch before continuing our cruise.

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.

Headed in as a group of 9 as other cafes weren't big enough to accommodate (absolutely fine), and we're seated quickly. Everyone had coffee or tea and a scone. Scones were a good size and delicious. Service from the guy with long hair was fantastic.

Lovely pub , live football, great drinks and lovely staff

Great food, friendly staff who were very helpful, especially as I left my bag under the table, which they looked after for me until we went back in the evening. Thank you 🙂👍

Overpriced drinks and very rude staff. Don’t waste your money, you’ll regret it. Such a shame as it could be a nice place. Avoid.

Fair pub grub. My cheese was burnt on my hunters chicken. The children only got 4 nuggets when the menus said 5 and one daughter got beans instead of the peas we ordered but this was rectified when I complained. Not very good though. The children’s menu did not have a price on it but it was reasonable. Nice atmosphere and the building is very characterful.

Went in fish and chips shop, cold and wet needing food as all restaurants locally fully booked. I ordered and sat down to wait for it to be cooked. I realized nobody had asked if we wanted to eat in or out so I asked if we could eat in. The young lad serving said no because we ordered takeaway ( I hadn't specified anything) I offered to pay more if it cost more and the lad refused. We left and ate outside In the rain ( there were plenty of free tables inside) The food was expensive £18 for quite a small piece of fish and chips and a single burger. It was ok but nothing special. Wouldn't return because of the staff attitude.

Fantastic breakfast, with good ingredients. Good coffee, fast service. Highly recommended 👌 Nice friendly professional staff. Clean restaurant Plenty of choice on the menu.

Nice atmosphere and a good choice of tasty food and drinks at a reasonable price would recommend this place to any one next time though I’ll have to try the cakes

Helpful in changing our booking to the following evening, but when we arrived on time at 7pm they had almost run out of food so we had to go elsewhere.

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.
