The best restaurants serving Other cuisines food in Ambleside and Grasmere South Lakeland North West

Beautiful location for a cafe. Decided to try something different. I had the eggs in a spicy tomato sauce with chilli, spring onions and added goats cheese on top. It came with sour dough and butter. Delicious and had a great kick to it. Enjoyed a chai latte too. Friendly staff and presentation of food amazing. Will be back next month.

Been here before and after a long winters walk I had been hankering for an orange hot chocolate all day but they didn’t have any. Nor any mint either so we ended up with baileys so I was a little disappointed but it was still nice. Had a large veggie pastie and it was lovely. It’s a great location. Friendly staff. Very clean.

The food is spot on and the steak was unreal and the peppercorn sauce was delicious . Shame the service couldn’t match the quality from the chef in the kitchen. They had a new Australian lady who told me it was her first night and she was wonderful. So friendly and bubbly and nice. she left having brought me my beer and food but after she went . No one came for a check back on the meal and I had finished my drink part way through my meal and no one came to see if I wanted another drink dispute there being 3 members of staff on the bar and no one needing to be served (the bar was empty) and I only got another drink when one of the girls came to clear the empty glasses on the table next to me and I had to ask her for another drink , then the lovely lady came back and I was given the bill not by her sadly but by one of the young girls from behind the bar and she accused and questioned me on apparently telling one of the members of staff to f..k off this was never the case as the only lady staff member of staff I had been dealing with was fantastic. So well done to her and the chef. Food spot on and service from this First Lady brill . Thank you 🙂

Unfortunately, my visit fell very short of expectations. The atmosphere was lacking - some background music in the dining area would have made a big difference over the sound of people eating. It was also surprising that a Sunday dinner would have been served without potatoes due to them running out, which seemed like a basic oversight regardless of how busy they’d been - fair assumption with such an established pub they’d know how many covers they’d have coming? Additionally, the parking situation was frustrating, with no clear markings, leading to a disorganised and chaotic layout of cars. We paid for our drinks and left without food. I Would not rush back even if improvements are made.

Loved this pub for many years, however, today’s cask bitter was poor, only citric based available except Old Peculiar . Very sad, Staff very nice but beer choice was terrible, I suppose they have customers who have no alternative so they get in the beers that earn them the highest returns, would not survive offering such beer in our towns where there is competition. Will not return until favourable reviews and decent traditional cask bitter!

We stopped in here for drinks this past weekend. Pub with a great atmosphere, but the beer was average at best. Good service. We did enjoy the visit (just not the beer—-maybe because we are from Prague and have great beer). Seating inside and outside. Cozy place.

Not great, lady serving said she was too busy to take an order without a table number - despite only 6 tables to choose from and my saying we would look out for it. Walked back downstairs out of building to garden to check table number then soup was salty and scone was damp (microwaved?)

Four of us visited in last few days for evening meal, two of us had liver which was plentiful and tasty, one had Carbonara which was very dry and very below standard, and I had Chicken Tikka Masala which was nothing short of the worst version of a chicken masala I have ever had. Menu states "cooked in tradional and authentic masala sauces" I am always dubious about eating pub curries as I eat and make a lot of curry and other Indian dishes and frequently get let down, but often get a pleasant surprise and am served a nice meal. However, this was probably the worst pub curry I have ever been served, it was dreadful. There was no indication of ANY spice/s in this meal. It was literally just blended tomatoes or pasata poured over cooked chicken. Just aswell I like tomatoes! Seriously bad!! The chapati was a dry piece of cardboard, awful! And no mint yogurt at all which I hadn't noticed to be fair until later. To be fair, pub refurbished to a high standard and staff very pleasant, but food needs checking out and will give The Swan a wide birth unless just a pint. Ps My tomatoes and chicken was £18.00!!

This is a place that nights out are for. Great menu excellent range of drinks, ales, IPAs, Gins, Whisky etc. booking is best so not to be disappointed...

Lovely place but all metal chairs so a bit cold on the old bottom

Very nice little Robinsons pub that was well positioned but quite tan he other nearby bars. Food was decent and reasonably priced. Beer was excellent. A good find.

We Stayed at the bridge house which is lovely.. service first class, however part of our package was a meal included. This is served at the inn in Grasmere. Food mediocre, same menu day after day… ?? However, my main complaint is the service, bordering rude and then ask if you want to add service charge.. really.. this is an appreciation of good service, in this case the bar was not met !

Great customer service Sam was really welcoming and couldn't do enough for me Deffo recommend

A stupendously friendly local watering spot to frequent after showering off in the Ghyl on the descent of a spontaneous weekly hike/Scramble. The eloquent handsome young Christopher is going to be sadly missed, as he starts his tour of the relatively so called New Found Land. But this is life, the best education can only begot by travelling 🧳, and that’s not just an opinion. But based on empirical research from living firstly in Berlin for five years and followed by nearly two decades of life in tropical far north Australia 🌴. Have a great trip Chris 🌏
