Reviews in Cumbria and Lake District

Bosun's Locker re=opens March 3rd hope you pay us a visit

On my first visit to Gillams tea rooms I was in for a pleasant surprise. It is totally organic, vegetarian and fair trade. The waitress was friendly and the food was very nice. I have been on numerous occasions since and always find the food good. On a cold winters day its lovely to sit by a roaring fire eating good food.

The ambiance at the Cumbria Cafe is unequalled in Grasmere. On any given summer evening, one can feast on traditional and moderately priced English dishes while gazing at a wishing well on a village lane and listen to the gentle bleating of the sheep nearby. The service is excellent, the dinners delicious, and views of the fells breathtaking.

EXCELLENT FOOD , SERVICE , BEER

Best steak in North Lancashire. Superb. Great beer too.

Food was amazing - proper Italian taste. Could do with having candles, Italian music to create more of an Italian ambience. Will be back again!

Always a superb experience; wood burner, Baroque music, relaxed atmosphere, welcoming staff, great food, mouth-watering home-made cakes, ambient surroundings, magazines to read and stunning views if the weather is good enough to eat outside. An absolute must.

As always the food was excellent with personal service in a relaxing atmosphere

Excellent staff and food. Can't recommend this hotel enough ! If you haven't been it's well worth a visit.

The food was excellent and service was very good. The price was very reasonable and i would recommend the cakes as the are divine.

So surprised to find this place in Barrow that I felt I had to write. Enjoyed an absolutely superb lunch, portion size was large, presentation was top end restaurant quality and the cost was ludicrously cheap. Beautiful bar, really impressed, nothing else in Barrow to compare. Granted, it took 15 minutes to arrive and I was starting to wonder why - but when I finally got the meal it's a cliche but... it was worth the wait. Excellent.

Absolutely loved it! Will be going again. Everyone for so friendly, we were so well looked after. Food was amazing. Decided to eat here the first night in Bowness - it was so delicious, we booked in for the next night,too!

I am a fairly regular visitor to Sharrow and I was delighted to hear that they had regained their Michelin Star again this year. The food seems to get better every time I visit, and the views, well if you have never been to Sharrow then they are difficult to put into words. Thank you Sharrow Bay for a perfect day.

Yum Yum for my tum

Went on sugarvine recommendation It was good all round but quite expensive for a pub. Would def go again

Superb cafe-bar with huge amounts of continental charm. They serve the best stone baked pizzas outside of Naples and the coffee is to die for. Real Cumbrian ales and interesting continental beer served by friendly staff, truly welcoming, you won't to leave.

We stayed in the hotel and had a meal aswell. The owner/chef Sarah cooked my wife and I a fantastic meal each night we stayed. It was fantastic value at £21 for four courses too. We are coming back to stay after Easter and are very much looking forward to it. The hotel rooms were great value and very comfortable and clean as well. Highly recommend!!
