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

We turned up today after struggling to find somewhere to eat that catered for vegans. This place was fantastic, the food was freshly cooked, fresh ingredients and delicious. We had 1 chicken Japanese curry, 1 tofu and vegetable Japanese curry and 1 chicken udon noodle soup. The broth in the soup was the best I’ve ever tasted. I’d highly recommend this place.

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.

We didn't have a booking but they managed to fit us in and were so pleased. The menu was excellent with wide variety of choices. The starters were particularly hard to choose from , so I had 2 starters . ! Food was excellent - really good especially for the price . Good wine selection too

Cosy, atmospheric restaurant which we look forward to trying again on our next visit to Bowness. Staff are lovely and provide efficient, friendly service. Food and wine reasonably priced. We felt the meals were well presented and tasty - there was an issue with one of our mains but the owner was very receptive to our comments and arranged a small adjustment to our bill. A nice place, we would definitely recommend.

Another return visit to the Masons Arms and honestly can’t believe why anyone would have cause for complaint. I suppose you can’t please all of the people all of the time. Having visited for both lunch and dinner this past week it remains a highlight of any visit to the Lake District. The location, the staff, the food and drinks selection are top notch. The evidence is surely the number of customers who seek it out on a weekday at the end of October creating a buzzy but comfortable atmosphere. If the brewery have any refurbishment plans please don’t ruin the eclectic charm of the interior. If anything could be improved it might be the replacement of the spotlights on the beam for something a little more subtle, but this is personal preference and in no way detracts from the overall ambience. We look forward to our next and ongoing visits.

What a beautiful venue, a garden full of interest, mature shrubs and towering bronzes... A warm welcome inside, staff quietly efficient, friendly and polite a real treat. We opted for starters and shared the Dexter beef.... Followed by desserts, and a lovely cup of tea.... The quality of the food, it's obvious freshness was a real delight.... Ask for extra gravy it's delicious.... Overall a 10 out of ten. The best lunch and no washing up a real treat x

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.

Visited the restaurant as a hotel guest, the staff were attentive and helpful, there was no judgement when we wanted to order things in an unusual order, prepared a cheese plate to take back to the room :) Beautiful views and lovely decor and atmosphere. We will be back, great little find.

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.

The food was really nice and delivered to our table by a nice guy , just the bar staff let it down a bit by keeping people waiting and just serving random people even though I was stood there, the girl on that night just seemed to want to serve drinks not take food orders, the guy eventually came and was really nice....2nd Nov 2024

Fantastic food worth the wait if 20-22 mins as it came out fresh and hot. Nice guys, good coffee friendly atmosphere Steaks are renowned, not cheap but you get what you pay for. Been recommended but never made it until now

Visited here after seeing they did GF fish and chips and wasn’t disappointed. Lovely and fresh even though we were quite close to closing time, clearly labelled and boxed up and they even had GF vinegar. Perfect enjoyed sitting on the lakeside.

We went here twice during our stay and it was great both times. Nice relaxed atmosphere, good views, lovely service and great food!

Very friendly staff Very tasty traditional pasty and cheese and onion pasty with nice pastry sensibly priced First class pot of tea Well worth a visit
