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

Like most people we were looking forward to coming to l’enclume. It did not disappoint but it was not without its quirks. The atmosphere was great - a pleasant buzz, friendly staff and good table spacing. The food was at points phenomenal, sometimes excellent and occasionally good. The bone marrow, oysters and caviar was the best thing I’ve ever eaten. The select wine pairing was a mixed bag. Some wines were perfect but also stood on their own and others needed the food to work. Service was friendly and efficient. It was really nice to see the chefs working. And also delivering the food explanations. So what was odd. Minor points but there were misses such as a sticky table, wine going missing and messy aprons on servers. So this felt like an excellent meal delivered in a friendly place and therefore not quite perfection. For me that worked just fine

Traditional Pub. Nice open fire. Great beers. Very Friendly helpful young staff. Short menu of wholesome straightforward food very well cooked and presented. Live music on Fridays and Sundays. Will definitely visit again

We both ordered soup with a cheese scone. This is after a walking week with soup and bread taken every day. Not only was this the most expensive we came across but the scone was very, “doughy,” and undercooked. It was far from acceptable. It’s very clear that the staff have not tried their own product. I urge them to test the product, change the recipe and improve the cooking process. I was really unhappy with our experience though the ambiance of the cafe is excellent if a little cold with the door wide open trying to attract customers. Could do much better. I strongly urge them to seek customer feedback so that they find out what people actually think.

Lovely warm welcome, super friendly and delicious home cooked food. Very good value. Highly recommended.

We had a couple of beers outside on a sunny square, watching the walkers go past. Looked far too strenuous to us so we went for lunch instead.
