The best restaurants serving British food in South Lakeland North West

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

Nice place, very reasonable prices

stayed at adjacent premier inn and booked the meal deal,we stayed 2 nights. when we went for dinner approximately one third of the meals were unavailable and no draught beers.On second night more than half of meals were unavailable, no draught beers and very few bottled beers.explained they were closing for refurbishment and stocks were run down.i felt sorry for the staff they were embarrassed and it was not there fault.On returning home i contacted whitbred customer service and had a reply saying sorry about that we should have told you hope it did not effect your stay come again in the future!,no offer of compensation ,needless to say i wont be going again

Great chippy, was well needed after the long hike and beautiful scenery in the area. The chip where perfect

Fantastic breakfast, with good ingredients. Good coffee, fast service. Highly recommended 👌 Nice friendly professional staff. Clean restaurant Plenty of choice on the menu.

Beautiful evening, walked here for food which is advertised as being served on Fridays till 8pm. Tried to order meal at the bar at 6.45 to be told ‘we’ve stopped serving food’ packed outside with potential customers so why?

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.

Staff were miserable think you had to pay extra for a smile. Pies were dry and chips weren’t the best !!! Visiting family in the area won’t be bothering again .

We stayed at the Lakehouse, annexe to the Waterhead Inn. We had a pot of tea on arrival, and an evening meal with drinks in the evening. There was a good choice of food, and the service was excellent. I enjoyed my cocktail. The food was tasty and well presented. The only reason I’m not giving it 5 circles is the tea bag was served on the side of a pot of hot water (no doubt to cater to foreign tourists), but not what I would expect. That aside, I think the other negative reviews were absolutely not representative of our experience, so don’t let them put you off.

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 😂

We had four different meals and it wasn’t possible to tell which was which. Batter was soggy and burned. Chips weren’t much better. Won’t be using again
