The best restaurants serving British food in Windermere Applethwaite and Troutbeck South Lakeland North West

Wow! What a fabulous experience from start to finish! We visited for my friend’s 40th and everything was perfect! Location, service and food- just beautiful! I have coeliac disease and they were so attentive and careful and went out of their way to ensure I didn’t miss out on anything. I even had different kinds of bread- believe me, this is wildly unusual for anything GF and I felt so special! All of the food was divine. I ate the lot, but totally regretted the sugar rush later on when I had a two hour drive home :-) Everything was perfect - the best afternoon tea I’ve ever had!

Fantastic! I’m a regular visitor to this shop and I’ve never bought anything that hasn’t been perfect. From the “Cumberland curl”, a variety of marinated chicken breasts, lamb joints, bacon (including treacle and breakfast), a variety of different pies, “chilli growlers”, marinated lamb shanks and so the list goes on. Absolutely first class. I’ve been nudged into writing this review after my husband tried their new spicy lamb pie. He said it was “excellent” with “great spices”. All this with such friendly, professional, informative service. All I can say is if you’re in Windermere don’t miss a visit.

We had a gorgeous meal in Oaks restaurant. A 3 course feast that started with Coquilles St Jacques (a wonderful mixture of scallops and potato) main was perfectly cooked lamb and, to finish, Creme Brûlée. My fellow dinner guests all had something different but every plate was clear and a lot of contented nodding was going on. Bravo!

Staying locally and last day treat a fab cooked breakfast. Cooked fresh, lovely service and atmosphere. Would recommend a visit. Thanks.

As soon as we walked through the door the staff were welcoming and very attentive. The food was lovely and good value for money. We sat outside which is a great little sun trap for those rare sunny days in the Lake District. We would high recommend and we will definitely be back .

Quick, friendly service; fantastic coffee & delicious food! A great little place with a fantastic reputation which met all expectations this summer. Recommend: Chorizo Benedict & Homeground Sarnie

Lovely lunch here for 2 coeliacs again today and I'd love to give 5 stars but one downside. We ordered a sandwich each and a side each, my partner had a lovely decent sized portion of sweet potato fries and I ordered the side of Hash Browns, £4.50 each. I don't begrudge paying £4.50 for a decent size portion of fries, but I do begrudge paying £4.50 for a single hash brown!!

A beautiful hotel with views over Lake Windermere, which has been the honeymoon or birthday destination for A list celebrities over the years… …where one will also find a fantastic restaurant. Located in a very tasteful modern extension to the much older hotel, the food is superb. The tasting menu features much local produce in a series of delicious dishes. The wine list is extensive and eclectic. The staff are friendly, professional, knowledgeable and unfussy. Sometimes the little things…the tomato butter and the quality of the freshly baked olive bread…just add to the whole experience. I couldn’t fault any of the dishes. Excellent wine pairings on the wine flight. I didn’t like the sound of the chocolate with cardamom/coffee (I’m told that it was delicious!), so I was given chocolate with raspberry/coconut. That attention to detail - the comfort of the diner - make this a ‘must visit again’ destination.

My husband and I were lucky winners of the Lake District Competition which included an evening meal. The dining room has beautiful views and we watched the sunset over the mountains as we ate our staters. A fabulous start to the evening. My husband's main course, the lamb, was so tender he said it was the best he's ever had! The desert selection was so good I found it tricky to choose just one! A wonderful meal in great surroundings with excellent service.

Oh my word! This place needs six stars. Great food Great views Great price Great portion sizes Great friendly and quick service. We sat outside for lunch overlooking the lake and surrounding hills. The staff accommodated to our specific order. A lovely garden and lots of things to do nearby. Will come back! Just incredible.

Fantastic restaurant with plenty of options in a lovely setting.

My wife found this on TravelZoo so I treated us both to afternoon tea for her birthday. There were white and brown bread versions of egg and chive, smoked salmon cream cheese and cucumber, ham and mustard, and cheese and pickle sandwiches. We also had warmed mini cheese and onion tarts, pigs in blanket and sausage roll slices. The second level of the stand contained some pots with strawberry mousse and biscuit crumb base, some small pieces of cheesecake, cherry sponge cake and flapjack. The top layer had two currant and two plain scones and mini Eccles cakes. There was clotted cream and strawberry jam for the scones. For the price this was an absolute bargain. We couldn't eat all the cakes so the waitress put the remainder in two plastic containers for us to take home. We both thoroughly enjoyed our meal. In fact I would have happily paid full price for it!

As a regular here for coffee/cake and breakfast, and always impressed, I took my Mum here for dinner. Wonderful service as usual, super pleasant staff, and the food was fabulous. I opted for the homemade chicken pie, which as I told the staff, was literally the best chicken pie I have ever had. 11/10. Definitely be returning for more dinners, as well as everything else. Thank you x
