The best restaurants serving British food in Hawkshead South Lakeland North West

This is such a great place to go after a hike or just a treat. We have been many times and this is the best ice-cream in the Lakes. Staying in Hawkshead we knew there was a shop near by for our ice cream needs. The ice cream shop was the only reason why we stayed in Hawkshead this time . The first time we went on this trip there was a queue but the young lad handled it very well. The ice cream is always so delicious and well worth the price( it's a great price to what you get in London) and you get a massive scoop. Always friendly staff and very clean and hygienic shop. Awesome ice cream even when it's raining

Whilst trying to amuse my two young son's on a recent visit to Cumbria I took them to the vintage farm. And while that itself is great the real highlight was The Chicken Shed cafe on the site. The food is lovely with the homemade cakes being among the best I have ever tasted. The lady who runs the place is a great host and when my 9 year old cheekily asked for a beer she passed him a bottle of child friendly shandy that made his day. There's also a wide variety of homemade ice cream available which was music to the ears of my 6 year old (and me). Even if you don't fancy visiting the farm itself the food and hospitality at The Chicken Shed is worth seeking out.

We called here after a decent walk, we were staying in Hawkshead, about a mile down the road. We loved this pub. The minute we walked in we were made to feel very welcome. The food was delicious and decently priced. They have a wide selection of beers. IPA’s and other drinks. The staff can’t do enough for you, and was busy every day we were there with locals and visitors to the area. We made it our local for the time we were there and can’t wait to return. Already looking for somewhere to stay.

We visited last weekend to entertain wedding guests. The management here are amazing, they go the extra meter to ensure everything is in place as the happy couple planned. Great working with them - just love good organisation. The function room holds about 80 guests. It has a low ceiling, and the atmosphere is good. Loading is good with a trolley. Parking is very good and well managed.

First camping trip pub we ever went into back in 93 aged 18. Sad to see it closed today. Major rebuild in progress and will be I recognisable. So I'll never see how it was again.

The dinner menu has something for everyone. The obviously home-cooked food was delicious! We tried two dishes and came the next night to try each others selection! The staff were friendly and helpful and we would be happy to recommend The Cockoo Brow Inn wholeheartedly!

Booked two rooms as a group of four . The rooms were spotless , clean and tidy . The staff were friendly and attentive. The food , both in the evening and also at breakfast was lovely . We were given a warm welcome and will be returning again .

The atmosphere and food are spot on here in this idyllic village setting. I’ve been here a few times and always love the walks around the valley and the Grizedale Forest.

You read us all wrong then....and you are sticking to your defensive and factless story concerning that horrible day. That's up to you. Fact remains....you are a rude Bunch of people who should be in a different job. AWFUL!!! Good bye and good riddance.

Absolutely stunning Cafe and very dog friendly xxx - best (outstanding) coffee we've had so far - Scones exceptional - staff are fabulous - we would highly recommend a visit to Whinlatter forest and food in Cafe Ambio.

Queríamos terminar nuestro fin de semana en los lagos con una taza de té y un pastel de cumpleaños y habíamos oído hablar bien las habitaciones de té. Llegamos a las 3 de la tarde, nos dirigimos por dentro. La chica de la entrada nos sacó una entrega desinteresada vistazo ya que hay mucho que decir " ¿qué estás haciendo aquí? ". Me sonrió y me dijo "nos ha venido para un té" (es un té después de todo! ). Dijo que "se puede sentarse allí" que indiquen lo que parecía una zona de bar. Pedimos unos pasteles y dijo que "no hay - no hay comida". Su actitud resumió la experiencia. No había ninguna información, menú o detalles evidente fuera del edificio o en la entrada. Optamos por irnos. Volvimos al Lakeside Hotel donde la bienvenida fue tan cálido como el salón Flame fire y té, como delicioso como el helado scones disfrutamos con. Le sugerimos Frithy es enviar la chica que ""bienvenida"" a orilla del lago por algunas lecciones en servicio al cliente. No volveremos.

Perfect stop off. Stopped in for a drink and was treated to a wonderfully cosy atmospheric pub with an excellent selection of delicious drinks. Defo on the list to visit again.

Buena comida, personal amable y personal de cafetería muy servicial y personal de la tienda, y mucha gente aquí dice que la comida no es barata en todos los lugares de los lagos es cara
