The best restaurants serving British food in South Lakeland North West

Fabulous little find when visiting Arnside. Spotted as we walked along the beach. Superb coffee and the cookies were, according to my wife, the best she’d ever tasted !!!!! Lovely little atmosphere in there too.

It’s a sad day when you have to ask the staff to turn round to serve you. The four people in front of me gave up but I wasn’t as subtle as them. I asked are you still open? Good job the ice cream was good as the service was rubbish.

We came here, without a booking, on Easter Saturday night. At first we were quite nervous, as the dining room is quite elegant and refined, with beautiful chairs etc, so we were anxious that although we were clean, we felt that we might be underdressed, after a day touring the Lakes. But it was a lovely, friendly experience, with very nice food, and pleasant attentive staff. A very enjoyable night.

Great ales, great atmosphere, great prices. Landlord/lady were great hosts and even better with our shy, nervous dog. Great pub

Stayed here and ate in the restaurant one evening. The service was very good, the portions very generous and the food of a very good standard.

Absolutely stunning Cafe and very dog friendly xxx - best (outstanding) coffee we've had so far - Scones exceptional - staff are fabulous - we would highly recommend a visit to Whinlatter forest and food in Cafe Ambio.

Queríamos terminar nuestro fin de semana en los lagos con una taza de té y un pastel de cumpleaños y habíamos oído hablar bien las habitaciones de té. Llegamos a las 3 de la tarde, nos dirigimos por dentro. La chica de la entrada nos sacó una entrega desinteresada vistazo ya que hay mucho que decir " ¿qué estás haciendo aquí? ". Me sonrió y me dijo "nos ha venido para un té" (es un té después de todo! ). Dijo que "se puede sentarse allí" que indiquen lo que parecía una zona de bar. Pedimos unos pasteles y dijo que "no hay - no hay comida". Su actitud resumió la experiencia. No había ninguna información, menú o detalles evidente fuera del edificio o en la entrada. Optamos por irnos. Volvimos al Lakeside Hotel donde la bienvenida fue tan cálido como el salón Flame fire y té, como delicioso como el helado scones disfrutamos con. Le sugerimos Frithy es enviar la chica que ""bienvenida"" a orilla del lago por algunas lecciones en servicio al cliente. No volveremos.

Just wow. The nicest ice cream EVER. The lady serving was lovely and the ice cream was amazing. Will deffo be going back next time we visit this area. Highly recommend.

Excellent meals, the most delicious food, great service and atmosphere, friendly, kind and polite. Superb value.

Solíamos disfrutar de sándwiches de aquí bajo la propiedad anterior y nos complació ver que los nuevos propietarios han comenzado a preparar comida para llevar. Tuve una envoltura de falaffel y houmous que estaba absolutamente deliciosa junto con un buen postre.

We were a large party of 12 but unfortunately no-one can book a table on a Sunday! This is rare these days as people like to plan their mel times. We knew this is advance as we had been before. We waited for a short while and then the table was ready. This wasn't 1 table but we were spread across 3 separate tables which couldn't be put together and some had to sit elsewhere. This happened last time and this time we thought they would only allocate eating when it was ready for the whole party. Most went for the carvery. The vegetables were very good and the turkey really moist but the beef was so tough that you really needed a steak knife to cut through it. Overall a disappointing experience based upon the service, food quality and price/value for money.

The food was absolutely gorgeous . All the staff were amazing but Astoria was attentive and made our evening so enjoyable. She is a credit to the Albert. The Johnny Morton Show which was on a Monday he is pure class and such a talent. Can’t wait to come back next year.

Good food, all day breakfast was fine.

Just moved into the village and been into the pub 3 times. It's a great place. Food is lovely, atmosphere is brilliant and the hosts are so kind and welcoming. I even left my wallet on the bar and a kind customer handed it in and it was there when I called back to collect it. I'm really pleased to have this as my local and will be back frequently.

Great warm friendly local pub. Quality beers. Open fire country pub type place Also, the only one left in the village I think, so just as well it is really good.
