The best restaurants serving Other cuisines food in Cartmel and Grange West South Lakeland North West

Having been to 1 and 2 star restaurants we booked here to break out 3* virginity. We honestly were not sure what to expect - how much better can it be? Well… The food is absolutely faultless. And while I wouldn’t say it was head and shoulders over 2*, it is certainly up a level. But you and I have to appreciate, 2* is already a ridiculous level of cooking most will only dream of, and there are diminishing returns. But the returns that are left are so hard to achieve every day it’s an exclusive club and they are subtle. A big step up though is the service. It was without question one of the most amazing things I have had the pleasure to observe. So much so it made up a big part of conversation with my wife between courses around just how you get that good! Everything is so well drilled and rehearsed. It’s phenomenal to watch and a joy to do so. As example of just how rehearsed they are a guest broke a glass mid service. Everyone sprung into action and seemed to have a specific role. They moved the couple to another table around the corner away from any embarrassment. Cleaned and reset the entire table/area discretely and silently. They then brought the couple back and served fresh dishes. All without anyone saying a word other than something like “would you both like to follow me”. If you think you want something, and somehow suggest it in your body language they seem to notice and fetch it. This may all sound ridiculous to some people - but my point is the level expected is just so high nothing isnt thought of in service. So I can only imagine what it’s like in the kitchen - where perfection is probably just ok.

The staff were so welcoming and the atmosphere was brilliant! A special mention to Sophie who went above and beyond to help me find my bracelet. The owner should be proud of having such a wonderful team. Thanks again, Lucie.

A big thank you to Nicky and the staff for being so welcoming to us us so late in the day...10 mins before closing. Brought in my Mum and a few residents from a local care home and Nothing was too much trouble. Julie you have the best cafe and staff and always there with a smile.

We arrived early for Sunday lunch but we seated immediately. The staff were excellent and provided special details. The food was delicious and well presented. We wish we had found it sooner. We would definitely recommend.

Lovely pub,shame it can’t be said of the food,husband had gammon and chips which was ok I had fish and chips, asked for garden peas instead of mushy,got the mushy ones, batter was hard and the fish inside what there was on it was dry, had more fish in a fish finger,took ages for the food to be served, for which they gave me half a Guinness for free, plus some of the chips were hard and uncooked
