The best restaurants serving British food in South Lakeland North West

Booked two rooms as a group of four . The rooms were spotless , clean and tidy . The staff were friendly and attentive. The food , both in the evening and also at breakfast was lovely . We were given a warm welcome and will be returning again .

Headed in as a group of 9 as other cafes weren't big enough to accommodate (absolutely fine), and we're seated quickly. Everyone had coffee or tea and a scone. Scones were a good size and delicious. Service from the guy with long hair was fantastic.

Horrible experience! I politely asked one question about the ingredients of an item due to intolerance to be met with the manager ranting at me telling me “im not the only customer in here” and “they don’t have time to be in and out of the kitchen looking at items”. It was very upsetting and uncalled for. I simply wanted to know if the bread contained soya if so I would have chosen something else. I’m sorry but as an establishment it’s a legal requirement to be able to provide information regarding intolerances and allergies. I stated it wasn’t a full allergy therefore no risk from cross contamination but was told I should “go somewhere else as it’s not on them”. Both the manager and waitress were very rude to the whole group and unaccommodating. No need to speak to customers that way. Do NOT recommend.

Tried to visit this place again after an amazing experience in 2021 and found it’s closed down. Disappointing as was an outstanding place.

The atmosphere and food are spot on here in this idyllic village setting. I’ve been here a few times and always love the walks around the valley and the Grizedale Forest.

Great location for the races at Cartmel but the lack of staff was evident in the overall running of the premises. Service was lovely and the breakfast meal was decent but everything was looking a little tired and in need of a good sprucing up. Ideal for an overnight stop if you are going to the races or visiting Ulverston or Windermere.

Tempted by window display. No prices displayed, shocked at prices. Asked if I wanted vegan sausage roll warmed. Outside was warm, middle stone cold. Stodgy, salty filling. Would have preferred a Greggs. Over priced and disappointing 😞

Very good mother's Day lunch. We were a large group. All the food came out together and was delicious. Desserts too were traditional and lovely. Service was polite, and well organised. Only thing I would have preferred is a local beer.

Amazing Bar , very friendly staff, great views, Loved the decor inside. Very nice food and drinks, will return again soon.

Superb food and excellent serice from Tom this evening. All the food was delicious, especially the braised belly pork. Highly recommend.

Good food and friendly staff, the prices are great value for money with plenty of food. We will be back again on our next trip.

Breakfast here was superb. Both had the full English and it was perfect in every way. Cafe was busy on the sunday morning we visited but after a 10 min wait we were seated (weather not good enough to sit outside where there are more seats. The food was nothing short of excellent.

Open again and worth a pop in as has been closed for an age . Situated in the quiet village is spark bridge loads of off road parking

Called in with the family on a whim. I had heard that a new chef was in and had heard good reports regarding quality etc. I know the pub well and it certainly is well looked after, the fire a massive bonus, service was warm and friendly, menus pointed out to us. There was quite a range of dishes and I settled on lasagne, mum and dad had the sea bass and hubby had the venison. The food was amazing, presentation immaculate. We couldn't manage a dessert but enjoyed a gin or 2 after. Well worth a visit.

A lovely gem of a place We loved it! Tea cake coffee and scone alll great! Really friendly service Definitely recommend I would return when I’m back here!
