Poor quality food for the price, full monty breakfast for that price they charge you would expect decent sausages not deep fried poor quality ones which you find in Aldi’s frozen section 10 for a £1,and when you are served tinned mushrooms just shows they don’t care. I’ve give 1 stars which is very generous, First and last time I go.

Herdwicks Cafe – ConistonA great old building in the centre of Carlisle. The restaurant has a great mixture of old and new. Tip top food and good service!
The Old Bank – CarlisleLovely traditional cafe in Longtown near Carlisle. All the usual suspects on the menu. Well cooked and friendly service. They have rooms too though I have never stayed.
The Sycamore Tree – CarlisleWe love the village of Cartmel and we love the Royal Oak pub right in the heart of it in the main square. Great food and service and the beer garden is great on lovely summer days!
The Royal Oak – CartmelI don't think I have ever looked forward to a beer as much as the one on Saturday after a hot sweaty climb in the Langdales. The Windermere Pale Ale was awesome! I ordered 2 at the same time as the bar was so busy. Very much enjoyed the Chilli with chips & rice. Hearty portions were needed and delivered. One of the best locations in the lakes too!
Old Dungeon Ghyll Hotel – AmblesideI've not had a Sunday roast for ages and never usually go for pork if I do. So it was a real treat to have one at The Greyhound in Shap. Very tasty and filling after our hike up Harter Fell. The place has had a refurb and looks great. Rustic but contemporary. Beer was good too!

Crown Inn – PenrithDropped in here for the first time after a walk from Aira Force around Gowbarrow Fell (incidentally the most stunning views along the length of Ullswater). For somewhere so out of the way, The Royal had an extensive and interesting menu as well as cask marque ales and accommodation.
Royal Hotel – PenrithA really nice Turkish restaurant in Barrow. Very authentic. Lovey staff, open kitchen where the chefs take pride in what they are doing. My wrap wit rice was very tasty!
Kapadokya – Barrow – In – FurnessJust my kind of place. A family run freehouse in a lovely little village out on a limb. Full of character. Good beer and food and nice rooms too. The heart of the local community. I had the trio of fishcakes that were very tasty with equally good Hawkshead Ale!
Blacksmiths Arms – BramptonLove this place. Recently refurbished. real fires, dogs, good ale in the heart of a lovely village! My soup and a sandwich was spot on too.
Howard Arms Hotel – BramptonImmaculate modern Indian restaurant in Ambleside. Great food and service. Great to fuel up after a day in the fells!
