Reviews in Cumbria and Lake District

We visited the Wheatsheaf having dined here some years ago when we were truly taken by the old world charm of the pub. Unfortunately, post refurbishment, this has now gone, to leave a soulless, contemporary eating establishment which, i'm sure caters for many but also excludes the majority. A little pricey, however, would have happily paid the price for a return to the old world charm of the crooked beams, real log fire and real pub experience we have had here previously. A great shame - when it's gone , it's gone. Fortunately there are still a number of traditional pubs still remaining with that real, traditional feel one would expect in this area.

very disappointing staff where rude and food was tasteless especially for the price we paid and the amount we got was even more disappointing.

Always busy, this is a great place which has never failed to disappoint.

roast lamb was excellent as was the homemade rhubarb pie

we were recommended the royal oak as a place to stay originally, the stay was comfortable but it was the food they really impressed us really delicious home cooked food. the staff were lovely!

I really dont know why people rave about this place I have been to loads of thai restaurants the inside does not even look very thai english flowers on table and very english looking menu on front very unimpressive inside the only thing thai was the waitress in thai costume, had weeping tiger which is always served sizzling and hot it was plain beef with salad and cold sauce separate for over nine pounds not worth it did mention this but the owner was not bothered will not recommend this restaurant to any friends and will not return there again it was recommended on internet proves you can trust people comments always these people obviously have never been to a thai before.

Looked on this website and restaurant had quiet good review had lamb madras very tough and when recommended it to waiter he just laughed didn't seem concerned at all and tried to rush us out, wont be going back their or recommend restaurant very disappointing as we have Indian loads of places and love the food but not there.

superb meal, generous portions and lovely staff. Toilets were immaculate

This is the worst Italian restaurant i've ever eaten in. If you like microwave tv dinners this may be the place for you, but otherwise stay away!

Beautiful dining room and wonderful service with top quality food. The views are fantastic and the whole meal was a very special experience.

Fantastic food in a wonderful setting. You have to book ahead to get in as it is very popular and always busy. The sticky toffee pudding was gorgeous!

A great party venue. We booked the whole hotel for a celebration. We had an amazing seafood buffet, with home made breads and a great choice of desserts.

Very good for lunch time meal, nice walks nearby to work of those extra calories. Also they do an excellent steak for that special evening meal, a bit far to travel but well worth it. Very nice real ales.

If you want to try out an excellent range of real ales this is the place to go, right in the middle of Broughton in Furness, if you love your real ales this is a place you will visit time and time again, also the prices are very reasonable.

WHAT AN ABSOUTELY HORRIBLE PLACE. DO NOT GO HERE.

Good honest well cooked food, very well priced, service was excellent. Highly recommended.

What can I say, we go every week for steak night and the hog roast at the weekend, they have several other 'special' evenings which are excellent value for money, it must be good because that's where all the locals go to eat. Highly recommended. Make sure you book ahead or you might not get a table. By the way its not at Broughton in furness its at Silcroft near the train station.

I love this little restaurant. It is situated at the top of Main Road facing up Broad Street Windermere and it is a very cosy, homely and friendly restaurant. The meal was lovely and the service was prompt and friendly.
