The best restaurants serving British food in North West

Is the mount still open I'm trying to contact them for a room to use in may we've used the Mount in the past great venue friendly staff ideal for what we needed it for the dog show people from around the world who attended still talk about it

Went for a family Sunday lunch - was a bit worried at some of the negative reviews ! But no need - good food and good service in lovely surroundings - will go again !

In the area for a week’s break and just returned from having Sunday lunch and WOW. One of the best Sunday lunches my hubby and I have experienced. He had chicken and I had pork - very generous portions, fresh vegetables, enormous Yorkshire pudding and all food piping hot. Extremely clean environment with professional friendly servers and restaurant manager. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Excellent food with efficient service

The hot chocolate was lovely with the tangy topping

Great staff just need that park sorting out

On this occasion I had come in to buy a plant for a family member. I had an empty food container with me and as there is usually a rubbish bin by the entrance, I was going to deposit it. However, the black bin was no longer there. I asked an assistant if it had been moved he told me, we do not have it anymore for recycling reasons! And to drop off at the kiosk to the right as you enter. I did this. There was a small queue, so I politely asked if the assistant could deposit for me and left in her sight but away from the customers. I was very surprised with her manner. She was incredibly rude and I had to walk away very quickly as could feel myself becoming upset. I mentioned this to the initial assistant and I think he passed on my concern As a family, we shop here on a regular basis

Beautiful environment; complete supporting facilities! There are plenty of parking spaces and food markets! There is a pier where you can take a boat trip on the lake or sit or lie on the grass to enjoy the sunshine! It gives people a comfortable and pleasant place! Downwind to the bridge house for a glance is also close!

Nice pint but the staff are in no hurry to serve you.

On multiple occasions, my friends and I were repeatedly asked to show our IDs—sometimes more than once during the same visit. While we understand and fully support ID checks to ensure legal drinking age, the way a certain member of staff handled it felt excessive and frankly patronising. Again, this has happened on multiple occasions. The tone was condescending, and it created an uncomfortable atmosphere that completely ruined what should have been a casual and enjoyable evening. There are plenty of pubs in the area that treat their customers with a basic level of respect. Sadly, this one isn’t among them.

Our 4th visit. We absolutely love it here. Food was outstanding as usual. Service and ambience is spot on. Hope to be back soon.

The toilets are still vile even with new management !! Loose toilet seats and the smell is disgusting. It is very off .putting

My mum and I walked 9km from Hilton to Appleby. We had never been here before so decided to pop in for some food and a cuppa. We were welcomed by one waitress very warmly, although were left disappointed by another who told us they weren't doing food yet (at 11.57am). We had to ask her when they were starting food, which wasn't until 12.15pm. 18 minutes too early it seemed. If it was me, I'd have said, "Let me take your order and we can get it ready for you as soon as we start serving." or even decided to start serving food 15 minutes early (the pub wasn't busy at all, there was one other table in) but the girl seemed very reluctant to do this so we just settled with teas. Lost out on a bit of business there I'm afraid.

Excellent lunch, lovely staff and a spacious eating area. I would highly recommend a visit. Lovely to find such a large venue which made it easy access with an elderly mother.

I went for a quick pint before home and I had a fantastic evening, stayed for more then I should. The staff are amazing and Tony was a star.
