Reviews in Cumbria and Lake District

A group of 24 of us went to Amigos for our Christmas get together. From start to finish Tracey and her staff dealt with us in a really friendly and professional manner. Amigos has to be one of the areas most comfortable and relaxed eating houses. The ambience is just fantastic from the cosy but very comfortable cellar bar to the lovely rustic style dining room - everything signals to you that Tracey has done her homework well and you the customer are in for a fun night. The food is nicely presented and tastes equally as good. The portion sizes are on the generous side of things so steer clear of big lunches before you go. I'm sure that many people who have gone out as a big party have all suffered from slow service and mixed up orders. I can in all honesty say this was NOT the case at Amigos, the poor chef and his team must have been busting their guts out for us, everything we ordered came at the same time, the food was cooked to perfections and nothing was too much trouble for the waitresses. The menu is a delight to peruse and caters for all tastes, even those that don't want to be adventurous and try Mexican food. Quite a few people commented that they particularly liked the way they could specify how spicy they would like their food to be at the time of ordering. It's little touches like this that make all the difference. I suppose the acid test with any eatery is the answer to the question "would you go back?" In the case of Amigos the answer would be a resounding YES. There's a lot of restaurants in this area that could do with taking a leaf from Amigos book. When it comes down to putting the customer first and making sure that their customers are having a great time Amigos wins hands down. Anyway to summarise Excellent Food Excellent Setting Excellent Friendly Staff Oh nearly forgot..... AWESOME margaritas!!

The Broadoaks Hotel and Restaurant has the personal touch of the owners, who put their heart and soul into the place and are undoubtedly very passionate about it. The rooms, each one a masterpiece, the breakfasts, yummy and the attention to detail is immaculate. Thanks to Clive @Sugarvine, I could shortlist a few classy small places to stay at during Xmas and his vast personal knowledge of the area makes all the difference. Thanks for all the help.

I was in L'Enclume for Christmas Eve dinner, food was so amazing, they put thought into every little detail, well worth the trip!

Well worth every penny spent in this restaurant. Class Act!

We had lunch on Boxing Day and travelled from Cheshire on reader recommendation.We were not disappointed a lovely located pub offering fresh local food sauces for puddings a bit thin and sparce.Lovely big selection of vegetables and meat, real log fire would have been nice gas flamed not quite the same.Would certainly return and recommend to friends

Excellent food and accommodation.

guest house very clean , best breakfast with a very good fruit choice

I think it was excellent food for your money

Excellent food and service. Had a lovely meal.

this is a lovely place to take a break for a drink, a snack or a meal, eating in or taking away, either are provided with class.

I found the service and food fantastic. We had time at the bar and was not rushed to our seats. Fantastic location and food is lovely.

i think finkles is the best, i think the food service is ace, the waiters are exceptional, i absolutely love going there, go FINKLES

Hardly likely to set the world alight but good honest pub fare, good for taking your grandparents out to on a Sunday lunchtime.

This place is one of the best curry houses in Cumbria. It is friendly, the service and food are both good. Try the Chicken Pathia, it's tasty!

we had a pub trip to ulverston , last summer, we took up the hotel, my customers want to book again. the breakfast, was the best ever, the fruit out on the table was the best. ideal for all the pubs, we will be back

Gotta love the Black Cock

Mr husband and I ate at The Kings Arms Hotel to celebrate our wedding anniversary and it was certainly made a special night. The atmosphere is that of a proper country inn and the staff were all very polite and attentive. We both had a starter and main course which was all delicious. Being vegetarian I sometimes find that pubs don't really care much about their veggie dishes but I was very pleased with the vegetable lasagne I chose. We will definitely eat here next time we are in Keswick. :)

Very good
