The best restaurants serving British food in South Lakeland North West

We dined at the restaurant. Every course was delicious and the service friendly and attentive. Recommended!

Aggressive, nasty staff. Forgot an order and accused us of lying.

On holiday for the week in the area and booked this place based on the reviews and we weren't disappointed. We had roast beef, lamb and cauliflower cheese as a veggie roast. Kids loved the Yorkshire puddings (they do a child's roast). Staff were friendly and welcoming. We sat inside, but there are some tables outside. Dog friendly too. We walked from the village.

2 night stay at the hotel with tasting menu the first night and breakfast both days. Views are incredible and can be seen from the front of the hotel, outside seating area, some of the indoor breakfast tables and some of the hotel rooms. Our hotel room was a double room (fell view), lovely sunrise view from the large windows, plenty of space and storage, comfy bed. The full English breakfast was lovely. Tasting menu had 5x courses plus bread and canapés. Delicious meal and staff very friendly. Lovely lounge area with topped up fire place. Good location for getting to Windermere and around during the day by a short car journey. My one pointer would be the heating in the bathroom was stuck on full blast, I appreciate these old places are prone to damp but it did feel a bit wasteful. Overall lovely stay and will be back

We had cocktails 241 and some other lunch items. It was really busy . Some other holiday makers were giving Scarlett and another girl hell. Kept on and on and really I think more importantly it's better to resolve the issue. Anyhow Scarlett and the other lady sorted it out and one of their colleagues had been made cry. It's not easy being in hospitality when it's busy ...so please be kind people

We stayed at The White Hart for 2 nights , the food was lovely. Breakfast set us up for the day. Everyone was friendly, the pub was welcoming and cozy. The room was lovely with amazing views. Great value.

Great food and good service, excellent choice for specific diatry needs 😀

Best breakfast in bowness by far , very friendly and always welcoming. Very clean and food always served hot. Faultless give it a try. Would always return thank you Anka and team.

So this listing is wrong. The resturaunt is the Waterbird and the hotel is now a different listing called the Lakes hotel and Sa. Ate at the waterbird this weekend and it wasnt a great experience. The maitre d was very rude about wanting us to order because "our kitchen cannot cater for a lot of meals and we have a large booking coming" despite us arriving at the time we was aked to come for. Both meals were good but not great Pidgeon was tough and the stake wasnt cooked as asked. For £15 starters and £25+ mains you expect the best not average.

Stayed at the nearby Haven site and as its been nearly 20 years since last coming in here, booked a table. Joshua, provided both bar and waiter service, was quick, efficient and very friendly. Couple of nice pints with the Cumbria ale and Dizzy Blonde. Meals were both superb and plentiful, and not overpriced. Fish & chips for me, rag pudding & chips for OH. Wanted the liver, bacon & mash but it had sold out, unfortunately. Clean and tidy pub that offers 7 rooms for accomodation. Nice beer garden to the rear to relax in. Only about 10/15 walk back to the caravan. Central village location and great base for exploring the South Lakes. Advised for a visit 👍🏻👍🏻

Even though it was Bank Holiday weekend this restaurant made the effort to fit 6 of us in at a moments notice. Food and service was excellent and also reasonably priced. Well done and thanks.!!

Had the best steak pie I've ever eaten

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

Lovely place. Food was excellent and service very speedy. Definitely worth a visit. Will certainly be going back again.

I visited this place several years ago and found it to be fairly reasonable in terms of cost and food-quality. I visited again yesterday and my experience was not good. The prices are enormously high and the meal I ordered was of very poor quality. The kitchen staff were clearly not very interested in supplying a hot and well-presented meal, which was sloppily served and cold (no, it wasn't a salad). I would advise future customers to visit the ODG nearby, where the food is reasonably-priced and of a high standard. I shan't visit the Slanty Slee's again. Disappointing.
