Dropped in here after a windblown walk on the fells above nearby Patterdale. It’s got the feel of a lodge in the Canadian Rockies with a huge panorama window making the most of the view and a barn-type interior. Only had a couple of drinks and sandwiches but the service was friendly and the food good. I think they have bedrooms here too and a campsite close by.
Brotherswater Inn @ Sykeside Camping Park – PenrithGorgeous little pub in Levens. Rustic yet modern. Rooms, pub and an atrium restaurant. Only had a light lunch but it was lick the plate tackle (I didn't). A great place to stay too.
Hare and Hounds – Kendalgorgeous pub with rooms. Had a great lunch by the fire in England's prettiest village!
Cavendish Arms – CartmelBest food in Ulverston from our own celebrity chef!
Craig’s Kitchen at Virginia House – UlverstonInnovative Italian cooking in their new restaurant Stella and a beautifully refurbishment. This has to be one of the top addresses in the Lake District now.
Henrock @ Linthwaite House Hotel – WindermereAll new Horse and Farrier! great spot right underneath Blencathra. Good food and accommodation.
Horse and Farrier Inn – KeswickHave often looked up at the Angel from the main street at Bowness but never quite made it up the hill. Big mistake! It offers something different from the other pubs, tearooms and restaurants in the town and judging by the crowd both outside and in on a miserable winter’s day, the word is out. I can imagine in summer it will be really busy with people enjoying the fab views out over the lake. Give it a try.
Angel Inn – WindermereWe were looking for a late evening, last minute Italian in Bowness and boy did this hit the spot. Prompt service, great pizza, good value and a nice atmosphere even though it was the end of the night.
Rastellis Pizzeria – WindermereLovely lunch after a hike up Loughrigg direct from the front door of the hotel! Couldn't be in a better spot right by Rydal Water. I had a great spot in front of the fire with my wet dog!
Glen Rothay Hotel and Badger Bar – RydalWow what a place! Was a beautiful property before the current owners took over but no something else! No expense spared in any area of this hotel. Gorgeous art works throughout. I dined in the bar area and had the chicken cotoletta which was excellent. A guy on the next table said the accompanying mash was the best he'd ever tasted. Service was what you would expect from a place like this. Will return to dine in the main restaurant 'Stella' Great work team Linthwaite!
Henrock @ Linthwaite House Hotel – WindermereAbsolutely brilliant menu and food beautifully presented. Really pleasant and helpful staff. Would recommend to anybody.
Oily’s – WorkingtonMy friend and I had a lovely lunch here on the way back from Scotland. We were very impressed with the food and ambience. Recommended
Greyhound Hotel – PenrithGreat pub in one of the most beautiful little villages in the Lakes and even the UK. A lovely olde worlde feel with modern touches. Food is excellent and its also a proper pub too. Highly recommended!
Cavendish Arms – CartmelBeautiful surroundings, great Chanti, the four of us all had a different meal two of which were vegan, each one was excellent. Only two if us had dessert a Tiramasu and a lemon sorbet they were devine. The service takes it's time but just right for drinking wine and enjoying company.
Casa Romana – Whitehaven – WhitehavenWe just love this place! Fantastic location in the Langdales, great hearty food and I love the Lakeland beers. We return again and again!
Britannia Inn – AmblesideGreat pub restaurant with rooms in Sedburgh. Taken over by a couple who ran restaurants in Manchester and have brought that contemporary city vibe to a country coaching Inn. Loved my Hereford Beef pie for lunch. Rooms are great with awesome bathrooms
The Black Bull – SedberghWe have just had a beautiful Sunday roast. Starters were full of flavour and well sized portions. Children’s menu again boasts a well sized portion, excellent quality and value for money. Much nicer than some of your “branded” pubs serving food. Excellent value and quality food! Thankyou for the lovely welcoming atmosphere! Beautifully decorated pub full of character and history
Crown Inn – PenrithExcellent place we stayed on the campsite and had everything we needed provided for us. The staff and owner were friendly helpful and welcoming. The food was amazing and brilliant portions. Highly recommend a visit
