Reviews in Cumbria and Lake District

Went with husband and 2 granddaughters for lunch. Excellent portions (by that I mean large, really no need for the extra chips we ordered). Beautiful decor. While I agree the service is a little slow the staff were run off their feet, restaurant was very busy, we waited a reasonable amount of time for our food but at least it is freshly prepared and not microwaved. Looking forward to returning, and hopefully go for an evening meal. Staff are very polite, attentive and very hardworking, the owner should be very proud.

Food was good but the service was terrible, we sat waiting over 20 mins for someone to take our order and when we approached a member of staff she was very apologetic and took our order only for someone to return and say that the pasta dish was no longer on offer so 2 of us had to choose again, there were a number of dishes crossed out on the menu already even fish and chips which was disappointing, our scampi dish came with salad dressing and coleslaw when we specifically asked for it to be omitted not a great experience, we all had coleslaw and the menu doesn't really point out it comes with everything. We were offered cakes to make up for the poor service and the staff member who came to speak to us was lovely. The restaurant was busy and it is appreciated that waiting times will be longer on such occasions but there appeared to be little or no organisation.

Lovely food and service!

Good choice on menu. Well organised. Would recommend.

Second visit in October. Simply great food at good prices. Cant wait to go back and try something else from the licence menu

Lovely decor, food and great menu. Have been twice now and the only thing I would say is that the service is a little slow, could just do with a few extra staff on the floor. Seemed to be a lot of staff behind the counter not out front this time.

Food was excellent staff were helpful and very nice. Impressed under the present conditions how well organised everything was felt safe thank you will be back . Compliments to the chef excellent food.

Great pub, enjoyed our meals!

Beautiful breakfasts we had a full English, A Veggie Breakfast and avacado on toast with poached eggs. Quality exceptional thank you Bakehouse.

Excellent service and great food. Sunday roast was amazing. Will definitely be back soon.

Had a lovely lunch with my daughters yesterday. I had beef roast. Delicious and very nicely cooked. My eldest daughter had the Ultimate burger. Good quality meat and lovely fresh salad and coleslaw on the side. The other meal was Pepperoni pizza freshly cooked in the pizza oven. Staff very friendly and lots of thought gone into making customers feel very safe. Will be visiting again very soon.

Service was fab, food was really lovely and felt very safe. Will return .

We came for my dads 80th birthday , we had afternoon tea and selection of mini bits from main menu 100% recommended, service excellent and staff excellent Thank you.

We had only used the cafe during the day and it was on a recent visit that we noticed that it had started to serve some evenings and the menu had been extended to include pasta and pizza do we decided to try it. Booking was easy using the website with a rapid response and confirmation. The place had such a different atmosphere on the evening. It was lovely and will definitely go again. The service was very prompt and the food was really good.

Excellent service superb food we had breakfast

I can not find any fault in the meal, very nice. Really nice staff will be going back.. The renovation is to a high standard. Only issue was my husband had to remind staff that we had been waiting 20 minutes and no service, think we had Been forgotten about.

The renovation looks amazing and seems so much bigger. We booked a table for lunch on the day as we’ve always enjoyed the food there and the lunch was really tasty. In this current climate I did have concerns. People were allowed in without booking (especially at the busiest time), there was no real instruction with the track and trace form (handed them in at the till and they were just chucked to the side), people were being shown to tables by squeezing past an occupied table, not everyone had PPE on and the drinks came after our food.I understand there may be some teething issues with reopening in a pandemic and hopefully these get ironed out.

Excellent breakfast, friendly, helpful staff. All in all a fantastic experience!
