The best restaurants serving British food in South Lakeland North West

Very limited menu very expensive,no decent priced children’s meals,no variety on menu apart from change of pie ,very little vegetarian options,not a particularly well executed menu, unfortunately it’s impossible to get any food delivered to hotel as it’s in the middle of nowhere,I would never book this restaurant

We arrived in lovely sunshine but were disappointed to find that contrary to the impression given in the advertisement by Lakeland Retreats of sitting on your decking enjoying the sun there is no sun as the Lawns is surrounded by high trees making the interior constantly dark. You have to put the lights on for your breakfast and if you eat in later in the day then also. My partner decided to have a bath the first night but unfortunately contrary to the management company's assertion that there's a constant supply of hot water the hot water ran out and the water turned cold. This happened twice as it did to our neighbours in the adjoining Lakeland Retreats property. We normally have a cooked breakfast on a Sunday but we were appalled to find that the two frying pans supplied were pitted with rust and unusable. Finally as the season turned from summer to autumn the evenings got a little nippy. We tried to turn up the storage radiators but found that the controls are blocked by wooden brackets screwed over the radiators so you can't use them. A beautiful area but we won't be using Lakeland Retreats again if this is the standard they aspire to!

Rude staff was very blunt when we were nice. Don’t understand what the attitude was all about but sure

This was an after funeral get together and the food and service was absolutely first class. I met and congratulated the chef.

Not good food at all better off going to macdonalds up the road. Very quiet dirty floors, car park is filthy with rubbish everywhere, staff pleasant enough though.

Lovely friendly pub with excellent service, good food at a competitive price. Thoroughly enjoyed our food which was well cooked and generous portions.

terrible will never use again went fir fish and chips no fish only been open 20 mins fishcake you can buy from Asda 3.25 it was aswell. Chip butty got more chips in a macdonalds happy meal and rubbery too

Poor choice of food and very expensive. £8:50 for a cheeseburger chips £3:95. Also not the best quality. If travelling on the steam railway probably better to plan ahead and bring a picnic.

Decided to book here after seeing the menu advertised on Google. I would suggest not advertising a restaurant if you do not want external guests dining in your establishment! From the second we stepped foot in the building we were looked up and down and made to feel very unwelcome. We wanted to leave but with it already being 7.30pm we’d left it quite late for dinner so decided to see it through. We had filthy looks from the staff throughout the less than 60 minutes we endured. The food was average, lamb still had string on it and was very over cooked. We were given the option for dessert to which we responded ‘no’ for the waiter to signal a thumbs up to the front of house who proceeded to smile knowing we were soon to leave. We asked for the bill, paid and left straight away. Absolutely gutted we spent our last night here and will never EVER return. Disgusting treatment in what looked like a train station waiting room.

Un pequeño bar principalmente para bebidas antes de la cena. No había ópticos y, aparentemente, sólo una medida en el espíritu.

Went for breakfast for a sausage and bacon butty. Was very good. Lady at checkout was nice and friendly.

I have eaten here many times and food has always been nice. Each time I have just walked in and placed my order. This time I decided to use their online ordering and payment. So 3 fish and chips a portion of chips and 3 curry sauces. Easy order, or so I thought. Arrived at the chippy picked up the order and set off the 10 miles home. Sadly on arriving home I only had 1 curry sauce, then some peas and a gravy! So after negotiation and the argument over the curry sauce, I tried to ring to ask for a refund on the sauces. Nobody likes peas or gravy. No answer!! Ok they are busy, sent an email including the receipt!! No response!! It really isn’t good to just ignore customers who have issues, especially since driving back there was not a viable option!! Sadly I will not be returning after this experience.

My older wife raves about Tebay and it’s soft southern cousin Gloucester services , but as she had refused to leave the log burner for the last two weeks ,I became the alpha decision maker and so Killington Lake became my Xanadu. What a view! If God made a motorway services based on views rather than access to motorways he (He/she/they- still confused by pronouns ) would have poured this lake into this heavenly moorland area . Costa and MacDonalds all to hand and small shop with other foods such as Scotch eggs and pasties for those wanting a healthier snack . Loos handy and clean and as I stayed so long looking at the view I used them twice ,always a good sign. Blackheaded gulls frequent the lake if you are a Bill Oddie fan. I will go again if southbound M6 south of Carlisle (san Mrs G).Fingers crossed eh! Lol 😂

Terrible food. ! Dark , hard overcooked batter on the fish which was inedible. Chips were dark in colour and soggy. Gravy was so lumpy and thick, it was impossible to pour. A very disappointing meal and an annoying waste of money! It has really gone downhill now

This place has no hot food except packed buns with bacon ect. No menu at all. Wanted a toasted tea cake for my wife they said they had supply issues so it's a no-no. Yet in the store packets of them to buy. A hopeless place that's very clean. Go to Morrisons across the road, at least they have a full menu. Just don't bother.
