Hello, We were visiting the Lake District last week and staying in Ambleside. We like afternoon tea and became aware of Cedar Manor. We booked and experienced the most wonderful afternoon. The service was excellent, the surroundings spectacular and the tea with a special glass of Prosecco was out of this world. This really made a special interlude in our short stay. The Lake district is special and Cedar manor compliments it. Thank you
Cedar Manor – WindermereDecor was beautiful, nice job and liked the new entrance. Lower level was heaving , far too many seated too close together. Food was ok , but only had mains due to timings ...... seated at 1.15 pm .... main course arrived at 2.16 .... and the table was only ours for an hour and a half..... so after lunch coffee and puds happened elsewhere sadly . So so ..... would probably only go back for a drink when I was there for the shop . Don’t think I’d go again just for the Bakehouse .
The Bakehouse – Barrow-in-FurnessLovely atmosphere. Service was great and very organised; staff very busy but very helpful when asked a question. Food was delicious.
The Bakehouse – Barrow-in-FurnessEverything about the Bakehouse at Charnleys is perfection, the staff are always amazing and very attentive, the food is mouth watering good and really good quality and excellent value for money. Looking forward to returning.
The Bakehouse – Barrow-in-FurnessStaff were friendly however there was a long wait for our food, we had already finished our drinks when food arrived. The food however was lovely and I would come again in future by which time the service will have hopefully improved.
The Bakehouse – Barrow-in-FurnessLovely food, will def go again. Love the new look and although the social distancing its was nice to have room around a table. Staff were very friendly and although a chef had walked out they managed to get things out to the tables. Well done guys.
The Bakehouse – Barrow-in-FurnessLovely food, good menu. Bit of a wait for food, drinks already gone. Overall very enjoyable. Will be back.
The Bakehouse – Barrow-in-FurnessFood was absolutely gorgeous and the place is lovely. It was very busy when we went and the waiter was really good but was rushed off his feet . I think they need more staff,we were not asked if we needed more drinks and ours were empty, neither were the guests on the tables near us. They would be able to make a lot more money on the drinks if the had staff available to offer them .
The Bakehouse – Barrow-in-FurnessAbsolutely beautiful food, outstanding service, staff are all wonderful .
The Bakehouse – Barrow-in-FurnessWe only had a scone, cake, and drink but couldn't fault them. Lovely scone and very fruity moist piece of flapjack. The added entertainment outside of the 4 buzzards over the railway tunnel was brilliant! You should market that!
The Bakehouse – Barrow-in-FurnessI went to The Bakehouse on 1.10.20. The decor and food was good but I was concerned that our table was too close to the next one for safety. We were on the upper floor on a table for 2 between 2 tables for 4, quite near the steps to the lower floor. Also, some staff did not have any face coverings. I did not feel entirely safe. However, the service was good and we enjoyed the food.
The Bakehouse – Barrow-in-FurnessVisited on Wednesday 1.45. Had to queue to have temperatures taken markings on the floor not adhered to! Our table which was pre booked was still occupied so taken to another one,got there and the waiter shouted over it hadn’t been cleaned so we were stood waiting and I’m disabled so after 10 minutes my daughter asked if someone could clean the table. Looking over there was a large queue not social distanced to pay my daughter was anxious and asked a waitress why it was allowed to be like that as we were told it was table service and pay at the table as per government guidelines! We chose off the new menu which we were disappointed with as we’ve been going since it opened,decided soup and a sandwich the soup was way to thick and the bread roll was so hard we struggled to eat in fact one of us left most of it. The menu is a lot of pasta and pizza and some of the regular food has been taken off the menu. The cheese on toast we loved has disappeared along with specials. We felt there were to many people in and it took over an hour to get our food not our usual enjoyable lunch. We won’t be back until better covid guidelines are adhered to and the lunch time menu improves.
The Bakehouse – Barrow-in-FurnessLovely food and great service. Lovely new atmosphere. Decorated beautifully.
The Bakehouse – Barrow-in-FurnessOn arrival covid measures appeared great but people were queuing close to each other whilst waiting to be booked in and temp taken etc. Love the new decor, food was great and quick service at busy period. Lots of people walking around and did feel like people were brushing past me whilst moving about. Was also shocked to see a table not being wiped down between 2 different bookings and ice-cream cones that customers had ordered being served with bare hands of staff. Also some staff didn't have visors or masks on but most had a visor on. I was looking forward to looking at the Christmas decorations but it was too buys to be able to do with social distancing. But It hopefully means the business is doing which is a great thing.
The Bakehouse – Barrow-in-FurnessFirst time since lockdown eating out we chose the bake house and we were not disappointed. The food was perfect we each had different meals and all were delicious. For such a busy place the staff all looked organised, well managed and clearly had everything under very good control, waiting Staff and kitchen. In fact the staff all looked very calm and very friendly considering the amount of customers. A very well organised team in my opinion, and this proved with the service as well as the Food delivered. Will certainly be back soon.
The Bakehouse – Barrow-in-FurnessFood was delicious. No complaints. I was concerned there were a number of staff not wearing face coverings. There was an exemption lanyard for one member but not all. Can’t fault the venue or the door tho. Thank you..
The Bakehouse – Barrow-in-FurnessHad first meal out yesterday, food was delicious and piping hot. It was very busy, did think some tables were too close together , which made me feel a little uncomfortable. The new decor etc was lovely very attractively finished and the chairs were comfy. My second problem came when I went to the bathroom, the paper towel holder was next to the loo and not over or near the sink, not very hygenic.
