Reviews in Broughton-in-Furness

Stayed in Millom this past weekend (24th - 27th April '09) and after being let down by our Hotel (they weren't cooking Friday evening) we were recommended Beswicks. What a joy the place is. The restaurant welcomes you the minute you put foot through the door and the service and food were excellent. You're made to feel very special and David is an enigma - how does he find the time to sleep? If you've been there and had the privilege of conversing with David, you will know what I mean. Would recommend it to anyone and everyone, Go - you will not be disappointed.

We had hardly eaten all day as we thought we were going to our favourite local pub for tea but having been turned away from two due to them being fully booked we had almost resigned ourselves to having beans on toast! We pulled up and my brother spotted Beswicks, the rest of us were not convinced as the wild wind and heavy rain beat down on the car windows. We eventually decided to go in, the best meal experience decision we could have made. Right from the start Joanne made us feel very welcome and accommodated our every awkward request. The food was outstanding, the atmosphere was intimate and the service was unbeatable. It is also excellent value for money. We cannot wait to our next visit, this is one place where you will want to eat at again and again....I have already decided what I am having next time! The Potts Family.

I was just up for a bit of climbing and felt like having a change from the usual pub meal so thought I'd give Beswicks a try. What a lucky decision, probably one of the best restaurant meals I've ever had, Brian Middleton

Beswicks is a rare treasure, a first class gem of a restaurant. Refreshingly untrendy and quaint it is evident that this restaurant has been built on love, pride and good old fashioned customer care and service. I have never been to a restaurant that scores so highly for the overall dining experience. Yes the food was lovely but even more impressive was the attention to detail in so many ways. David is indeed the perfect host and has the place operating like a well oiled machine, yet as a customer you don't feel like a number, you feel that you are being treated to a very special evening. I cannot praise this restaurant highly enough.

My second visit to this Restaurant in the heart of Broughton in Furness The atmosphere was outstanding and as it was our wedding anniversary it was a special evening. The starters local smoked meat and an interesting vegetarian salad mix expertly presented followed by Their duck with rhubarb and ginger sauce and quail both perfection and the sweets were to die for. The website does not do it justice. We have eaten in all the pubs and local eateries and this surpasses all! The prices are incredibly low comparatively too. Just a tip! if parkings bad in the Square area, park in Foxfield road there is often a lot of space there. This place is thoroughly recommended.

Went to this place on Guardian newspaper recommendation Very good but pricey for a pub. Stunning location and great base for a sunday walk and sunday lunch

We recently stayed in Broughton-in-Furness (March 08), just around the corner from the Manor Arms. Although we never had a meal there, I can certainly recommend the good choice of real ales and ciders available. The people were very friendly and welcoming. I would definitely recommend this place - it was certainly our favourite.

Again as previous reviews great food with spectacular views. This pub in the summer will be hard to beat, i can't wait for a bit of alfresco dining!

Beswicks! What an evening, Comfy sofas, log fires, fabulous food! You should never just pass through Broughton-in-furness you would miss a real treat. Thank you David once again excellent food.

Our evening at Beswicks, in a group of 6, was memorable. From the comfy sofas and drinks on arrival, through the excellent meal in a cosy, welcoming environment, to the after-dinner coffee and chat with David, the host. And, as a diver, has he really built a community of gnomes, complete with picket fencing, deep under water in Wastwater? I guess we'll never know! But we'd love to come back on our next visit to the area.

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.

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

Ever dependable, first class service and food excellent. david is a perfect host making everyone feel important and welcome. This is the best value for miles around.

I would like to ask one question why is this place not in the major guides. Its quirky its true but the food is excellent (simple and well presented) the wine list WOW service great unhurried but attentive, and lord knows you need to be unhurried if you are going for several courses. Some strange conbinations but they work and HOW.Everything was exemplary. The abiance has to be unique, one feels totally at home. By the way the bar is very well stocked. Choice of Brandies and Malts really good. We will be back soon.

When we asked my parents where they would like to spend their Golden Wedding Anniversary, they Said only one place would do, Beswicks We have been many times, and every time you are made to feel so very special. David looked after us in his usual caring and considerate manner, and nothing was any trouble to him or his team. We had a memorable evening, and my parents will never forget it. Thanks so much, and for any one out there, who has not yet tried the Beswicks experience, try it, you definitely will not be disappointed. Peter Holland and family

Once again we have dined out at Beswicks and as ever, we are never disappointed. We will recommend it every time. We do visit other restaurants and always come back here because we know we can guarantee service with excellent food. Joyce and family

Celebrated my birthday there with husband & friends - couldn't have chosen a more enjoyable venue. Very laid back and relaxing evening. Particularly liked the break between courses ( 5 of them !). Not the least pretentious. Excellent choice of food & wine and very well stocked bar.
