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.

A great pub and a shout out to Nicola who was friendly and efficient, helping me sort the preorder for all 16 of us who ate there. We all enjoyed our food, thankful of a place to dry off - it was a wet day in the Lakes! - and appreciated you being able to accommodate such a large group of us. Would definitely recommend and will be bcak when we are next in the area

Great stay, well hosted. Amazing location and nearby walks.

An extended family get-together from North of Scotland to Somerset. Well worth the long distances. Good rooms, good food and, in particular, the friendly and efficient staff. Great location and easy parking. Would recommend strongly.

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.

We stayed at The White Hart for 2 nights , the food was lovely. Breakfast set us up for the day. Everyone was friendly, the pub was welcoming and cozy. The room was lovely with amazing views. Great value.

Excellent pub food and great selection of drinks. Great atmosphere. Friendly staff. Would highly recommend the lasagne!

We stopped here today for afternoon tea while on a day tour. We had an amazing afternoon tea which was fresh and delicious with lots of cakes to choose from and only with 5 minutes until they stopped serving lunch. The staff were amazing and accommodated us and even boxed the left over food for us as we were called back to the tour bus earlier than expected. We also loved the pot of freshly brewed tea which was lovely and the courtyard outside was so pretty with colourful flowers and a very relaxed vibe. I only wish we had longer to relax here but we will definitely be back.

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.

A must ... on way to or back from ... Tarn Hows! Nothing like having a drink or two outside ... with amazing views of countryside ... after a walk at Tarn Hows

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
