The best restaurants serving British food in Cartmel and Grange West South Lakeland North West

The most wonderful evening from start to finish - food was sublime and staff made the whole experience extra special!! A lovely treat - and that Kendal mint cake pebble!! X

We came here while staying in cartmel for 2 nights. Staff were great & food was beautiful. It was really busy after the races on the Friday & great atmosphere.

Really quaint little village shop that's a bit like Mar Poppins handbag. Don't know how they can cram soooooo much stuff into such a little shop Really fairly priced and alot more on offer than just the expected famous 'sticky toffee pudding' which is to die for and us served hot to take away

We booked a meal for my partners birthday with family. The food was outstanding. I have intolerances to certain foods and the chef had prepared a menu to accommodate this. The staff are very knowledgeable, it is wonderful that they explain the contents of the dish and there is a feeling that they are proud to serve food from sustainable resources. We had the wine pairing: what an experience! The sommelier had a great knowledge of the grapes and how they worked with the dishes. You could see that she had a passion for her chosen career. We will return in an instant, it was a wonderful experience, thank you

Gorgeous cafe. Beautiful and tasty home make cakes. Gorgeously friendly staff

Beautiful pub in a picture perfect village. Absolutely superb Sunday roast. Service and ambience perfect. We'll be back!!

We had the most wonderful stay at Uplands Inn Cartmel and couldn’t recommend it more! From the moment we arrived, Allan and Sue gave us such a warm welcome, making us feel right at home. It was especially lovely that they allow dogs, and they went the extra mile by getting our little dog some locally handmade treats—such a thoughtful and personal touch! We stayed in the Lune Suite, which was beautifully cosy and comfortable, with an incredible view of the hills and coastline of nearby Grange-over-Sands. After settling in, we headed to the restaurant, where we enjoyed a fantastic home-cooked meal by Sue. I had the steak and chips, cooked to absolute perfection, while my partner had the fish and chips, which was equally delicious. Following our meal, we relaxed by the fire with some drinks, and to our delight, Allan and Sue joined us for a chat. The evening flew by with laughter, great stories, and amazing hospitality. Their son, Dylan, was also hands-on in the family business, serving up fantastic cocktails—I highly recommend his Bloody Mary! After such a lovely evening, we had a peaceful night’s sleep in our super comfy bed. The next morning, we were treated to a delicious full English breakfast, made with fresh local produce and cooked by Sue—an excellent way to start the day! This hotel is truly special, not just because of its stunning location but because of the amazing family that runs it. If you’re looking for a dog-friendly, welcoming, and heartwarming stay in Cartmel, Uplands Inn is the place to be! We can’t wait to return.

Lovely food with very welcoming staff who are well organised. Warm.and cozy bar area where food is served in the perfect amount of time.

Awful. Had 3 starters to share. Butter board nothing like described just a bit of butter on an old chopping board a couple of sliced red pickled onion, no hot honey, no pancetta just a bit of cold toast was expecting warm crusty bread. Crispy wings, slimy not crispy. Loaded fries - topping of pulled pork and cheese cold. Don't waste your money!!!!! In response to the reply I would have complained but no food check was done by staff at any time during my meal!! I was given 20 % which totalled £4.60!
