The best restaurants serving British food in South Lakeland North West

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!

The room looked inviting initially as we arrive as it has a country style traditional bar area.. we were taken to our table which had a cafe style feel to it ie very high and wide. The colour a mock pale wooden effect not in keeping with the building. The first member of staff was very professional but then the 3 subsequent ones were lacking. The wine list never arrived , our drinks order never arrived so had to visit the bar to prompt them. The menu was lacking and very expensive. Now we are not cheap by any means but I begrudge paying 40 pounds for a 2 course set menu but being forced to get a pudding as there wasn't an option for a starter ! This got my goat straight away. The main option was 1 of 3. No red meat option. The red meat option for a further 10 pounds per person which was a 2 rib of beef you have to carve yourselves . Not up my street. A 10mm of glass of wine was 9 pounds. Which again I don't mind paying if the setting and service are spot on. When we finished the mains No one came to take our desert order . Odd considering how may staff they had. Full of want to be types trying to be something they are not. They are way off the mark here and a Sunday roast should not cost 110 pounds . Our protein equated to 2 to 3 tablespoons so basically its 40 each for a plate of veg. I am gutted as we are local and desperate for a quality restaurant. Also I haven't written one of these for so long but I feel very strongly about this. Avoid.

Stayed here recently, returned this time with friends for lunch as we loved it. Was amazed the staff recognized us and we were given a table by the fire. New menu is great, but I was pleased to see the Steak pies hadn't been taken off. We enjoyed a bottle of wine along with a couple of Ales. Friends loved their choices of fish finger and steak sandwiches, I had the steak pie as it was great the first time. Food again was delicious and my friends were delighted. Thank you David and your team, we'll be back soon!!

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.

Habiéndome alojado en un hotel cercano donde mis solicitudes vegetarianas fueron atendidas con una mirada desconcertada o totalmente ignorada, fue genial encontrar este lugar en el Crooklands Hotel. Mucha variedad, comida bellamente presentada, ingredientes frescos y un personal encantador que sirve. Regresamos la noche siguiente porque estaba muy bien. ¡Ojalá nos hubiéramos quedado aquí!

Visited for live music on a Saturday night. The band were blasting out a little too loud but the atmosphere was great and the place was buzzing. Staff very friendly.

Great host is Al a proper genuine person 👏

Lovely well trained staff. Very polite. Nice restaurant and accommodation 😊👍

Friendly staff and food good value. I has chicken curry and hubby steak pie. Curry was nice but chicken was a little tough. Steak pie was excellent though.

Cracking spot, all cooked to order, great sized fish, will definitley be returning

Great food and service. But… Prices were a bit higher than expected. The only toilet is outside, the lock doesn’t work, there was no soap and it was dirty. Staff didn’t seem to care and said “oh”. But apart from the toilet issues it was good.

Amazing stay, from the front desk to the door men Mohammad. Wonderful, breakfast included with our stay was great. Indoor and outdoor rooftop pool. Wonderful. Loved it.

Wonderful food, friendly attentive service and dog friendly to boot! The Sunday Roast was incredible and the fish cake starter was one of the best fish cakes I’ve had

Called in the evening and enjoyed fish and chips, friendly staff advised on gluten free options of which battered jumbo sausage and gravy were delicious. If you're staying in Grange over Sands or passing through to the Lake District, definitely worth stopping by for food. Highly recommended.

Me and my partner stayed in Room 4 on 10th July. It's very expensive for what you are getting. The room was absolutely boiling, had to open window wide open, and have a fan on all night and still too hot, so I barely slept. The room is also very dated and needs refurbished for the price. Dinner was nice but long wait and again overpriced for pub food. Breakfast was disappointing, coffee disgusting, bacon dry and tough, cold beans and black pudding tough as old boots.
