The best restaurants serving British food in Staveley-in-Cartmel South Lakeland North West

We visited the hotel after its recent refurbishment and we had a lovely time. The room we stayed in was done to a really high standard and had a great view. The staff were lovely. Will definitely be coming back and would highly recommend.

We visited after we had been to the museum. We are frequent visitors to Cafe Ambio at Astley Park so thought we’d try this one. Between us we had a beef sandwich, a children’s lunch box, chips, hot drinks, cake and ice cream. The food and drinks were all hot and tasty. The kids sandwich was in a brioche bun which my son didn’t like and the ham was quite fatty. It does state on the menu it’s a roll not bread but it didn’t mention brioche- this was a huge issue for my son who has sensory issues. The staff were friendly and efficient, the place was clean and welcoming. I was stunned by how much more expensive it is compared to the other Cafe Ambio.

Nice place however my croque Monsieur had far too much béchemel sauce and Dijon mustard

Outstanding food! My partner and I really enjoyed our visit here. We didn’t stay in the hotel but would consider it on our next visit. The staff were really lovely and made us feel very welcome. We both had starters- I had Pork Cheeks and my boyfriend had Camembert- both were incredible! For mains I had Chicken, Bacon, Leek Pie which came with sautéed potatoes, green beans and gravy. My boyfriend had Fillet Steak, which came with chips, tomatoes, broccoli, mushroom purée and he asked for a Wine Sauce. Wow! Both our meals were fantastic. We had no room for pudding but what we ate was very well worth it and we will be back!

Excellent service , our first visit to the masons, we were served by Andy, mihaela and Amy, they were all very attentive and made us feel very welcome, food was lovely, beautiful place , will definitely be back in the summer , hopefully to stay

Can’t fault the service but we ordered lamb from the Sunday roast menu and it arrived lukewarm and I couldn’t even cut into it with my knife it was that rubbery. I explained the issue to the waiter which the said they could send another one out fresh but by this point we just wanted to leave. Asked for the bill and they refused to remove food from the bill. So ended up paid without eating. Super overpriced.

Great food, super atmosphere , idiosyncratic in a wonderful way. Would visit again and again. Steam Train is an added bonus

Went for lunch and will definitely be returning for dinner one day! You can tell the chef cares about the quality of the food, you won't be disappointed.

Great location for the races at Cartmel but the lack of staff was evident in the overall running of the premises. Service was lovely and the breakfast meal was decent but everything was looking a little tired and in need of a good sprucing up. Ideal for an overnight stop if you are going to the races or visiting Ulverston or Windermere.

When we arrived at the pub at 6.00 last Thursday evening for a meal we were the only people in the restaurant, we placed our order to a lady in a fleece!!!! Not very professional, we placed our order starters & main course, we waited 45 mins for the meal to arrive, when it arrived it was our main course no starters my husband said to the the young lad where was our starters!!!! He said he didn't know we ordered starters did we still want them we said yes he came back & told us they had not been ordered, he took the main meal back & we asked him not to keep the meal warm & we don't want it to be heated up, another long wait for starters to come prawn cocktail was disgusting it was served on a limp dark lettuce leaf. After another long wait main meal arrived the sirloin steak meal I ordered was not very nice the steak was very light in colour it did not look like a steak & it was tasteless also the chips were frozen thin cut chips, think on we were the only People in the restaurant so they were not rushed of there feet. The ambiance of the pub could be better it is not a very good advert to see the double wall lights bulbs with only one bulb working in all of them!!! I wonder if they are short of money as it looks like they cutting down on funds which is not a very good advert for the customers. This pub was a great pub years ago & it looks like it is struggling, needs something done with the ambiance & better served meal!!!! This pub could lend itself of being a great pub with good meals!!!

Very limited menu very expensive,no decent priced children’s meals,no variety on menu apart from change of pie ,very little vegetarian options,not a particularly well executed menu, unfortunately it’s impossible to get any food delivered to hotel as it’s in the middle of nowhere,I would never book this restaurant

Poor choice of food and very expensive. £8:50 for a cheeseburger chips £3:95. Also not the best quality. If travelling on the steam railway probably better to plan ahead and bring a picnic.
