The best restaurants serving British food in North West

We love the Buck at paythorne, Excellent meals,good choice of menu,Rachel and Steve and there staff are so friendly and welcoming.Dog friendly, disabled toilets,roaring fire in winter.Friendly atmosphere.

After a walk from Kirkby Stephen, we stopped by on a Monday evening expecting it to be quiet and for the pub to easily be able to fit us in. We could not have been more wrong, it was very busy with booked tables and a great atmosphere. However, we didn’t need to worry the staff were so friendly and accommodating finding us a table. The service was quick and the food was fabulous. The portions were huge! We will visit again and will be recommending to our guests.

Lovely venue and friendly place

Staff were friendly Food was super tasty ! Great location in the middle of Ambleside The Cornish pasty was fantastic, well seasoned

Great food and friendly service. We ate enormous club sandwiches, looking out at beautiful views of Ambleside, while our dog slept peacefully under the table.

Came here after reading the reviews. Really enjoyed what we had (full breakfast and bacon barm), excellent coffee and friendly service - would visit again.

The business is under new ownership and now just sells ice cream, rock, sweets and other novelties. We ordered ice cream and it was grainy so the children threw it away. Really disappointing.

We ate here twice in two days. The food is excellent. The owners and staff are very welcoming and friendly. We particularly recommend the soups, but it was all superb. Good value for money

Wow! We were a little early for lunch menu, meaning the pastry was made but not the “house pie” no problem said the chef I can make up a smaller be ready in 15 mins!! Needless to say my father in law was very pleased The individual pie came out looking wonderful and was packed full of meat And rich thick gravy! Thank you so much for being so accommodating - we are so lucky to have such an amazing place in our village

Lovely pub, great place to stay. Rooms clean and comfortable, great bathroom and shower. Dog friendly, good pub food and friendly atmosphere. Will be back!

Great value breakfast with brilliant understanding of gluten free needs. Just told them and they adapted to suit. Very welcoming and quick service.

My first time at No 11 but it won’t be my last! Food was amazing for the whole party; the service second to none, nothing too much trouble! The waiting staff were young but very attentive, well mannered & well trained!

We had a truly warm welcome and fantastic meal here when visiting the area. Rang to book and we were squeezed in by a very friendly lady who welcomed us on arrival. Everyone friendly and chatty at the bar (great to meet the two local gentleman and discuss everything from black pudding to the scottish islands). Food service was equally friendly and done with a smile! Fish and chips excellent and great value as it was Fish and Chip Friday. Steak pie delicious too. If you are looking for good food and a warm welcome we certainly recommend trying the Belted Will.

What a fantastic evening my friends and I had, the drag dj was GREAT. made our evening singing dancing 💃 highly recommend stopping by..
