The best restaurants serving British food in Windermere Bowness South South Lakeland North West

I loved this place. The food was super fresh and super tasty. This is a small place with limited seating but I recommend giving it a try you won't be disappointed.this was just what I was looking for. Healthy tasty and friendly. Wish it was closer to home I would use it all the time.

Fui a comer un sándwich de tocino y un café esta mañana. La comida y el café eran geniales, pero lo más destacado fue abrazar a los dueños del precioso Bulldog Francés, Pug. Pase si tiene la oportunidad.

It's been 8 years since we've been here for a meal, and again, it did not disappoint. From the warm, friendly welcome to the absolutely delicious food. The same chef and owner for 30 years proved that this place is hard to beat. Travelled 5 hours from the other side of the country for this restaurant and their special steak. We will always come back as long as this place exists.

A fabulous resturant, the cosy atmosphere, friendly staff and excellent food quality. The wines are a fantastic selection, this is a must if you are serious about enjoying good food and drink. We were there for the first time with family last night, it will not be our last visit.

We found the Masons Arms after searching for local dog friendly pubs during a stay in the area on 15th March 2025. We were absolutely blown away by the whole experience...firstly the food was amazing. We had the fishcake, and the prawn starters which were delicious. Followed by fish and chips and a cheese and bacon burger. The staff were lovely and made us feel very welcome... and they loved petting our dogs - the dogs were given a bowls of treats which was very nice of the staff. Our meals were washed down with a lovely pint (Cumbria Way) and a lovely glass of red wine. A lovely meal and memorable evening. Thank you

As in all of Simon Rogans Restaurants - Overall Perfection. Service - Faultless , staff trained to the highest levels , knew everything about the food down to the smallest detail. Friendly and welcoming , perfect. Food - Chef is amazing , love his cuisine (overseen by Simon rogan) and some really unusual combinations ( Celeriac , Pickled walnuts , scotch bonnets , Miso). Memorable food (which is rare these days) and exciting to eat.....top maks to chef Mark McCabe. Ambience - Romantic , stunning decor that really doesnt get any better. Prices - A great way to experience Rogans food at a very reasonable price. £95 for 10 or so courses. Drinks - Can end up bumping up the prices. My tip would be to go for "wine by the glass" rather than the wine flight as you`ll get more. Would i return ? - 100% YES. Overall - Definitely one to experience. Michelin star definitely on the way.

Superlative food. Eclectic and interesting decor in lounge/ bar areas. Restaurant itself over modern and over lit. Some staff didn’t seem very happy, but overall we enjoyed our evening.

Absolutely fantastic stay at this hotel. Close to all amenities and bowness just around corner. It does need a update but for location and price i could not fault it.

We ordered battered fish. A Inside the large amount of greasy overcooked batter was a tiny amount of dried up fish. I notice there are very few reviews for 2024, it seems it was much better in 2021. The only positive was mthe waitress who was very attentive and discounted the bill.

El sitio muy rico la gente muy amable lo recomiendo a todos en familia o en pareja . El personal es muy atento con las mesas y respetuosos.

What a wonderful lunch, fabulous homemade soup with a sandwich and chips. The staff were wonderful with such a warm welcome. We will definitely visit again.

In April 2023 on Easter Sunday I went to this chippy and the staff was being rude to me and playing tricks with me and the staff had no manners whatsoever but chips and gravy was fine

One of the only places to eat with a gorgeous view of the lake. Food excellent, good price, staff caring and friendly, loved it

We called in at the Cornish Bakery to pick up some provisions before a day’s walking in the lakes. What a gorgeous little bakery with friendly, welcoming staff. We would recommend the almond and cherry croissant, as well as the chocolate twist. We also grabbed some lunch to take with us and recommend the spiced cauliflower and onion bhaji pasty, as well as the chicken masala pasty - both brimming with filling and delicious, unusual flavours. Couldn’t fault the food, the staff or the venue - a great spot to sit in, or grab some tasty snacks to take with you!

This was our 2nd visit to this delightful B&B we arrived slightly early but our room was ready, we had room 7 on the 1st floor. It was spotlessly clean and lovely and warm exactly what you need on a wet January day! The bed is huge and so comfortable. We enjoyed a couple of drinks in the local bars before heading back. Perfect location. We booked breakfast for 8.30am. Both of us thoroughly enjoyed the full English and full vegetarian with perfect poached eggs. All the staff we saw were friendly. Definitely will be returning
