Great food Great drinks Great service Highly recommend :)

Afternoon Tea in the sunshine at Augill was a lovely experience . Plenty of sandwiches and different sweet things to feast on - we even took the biscuits away to snack on later! Very relaxed welcome and friendly service which was great for us as first time visitors. Walking round the castle gardens afterwards with some great views and very friendly chickens rounded off the visit in fine style.

The restaurant was lovely and the food was very good. All I’d the staff were incredibly friendly and, of course, all Covid rules were followed.

Honestly one of my most favourite restaurants I’ve gone to. The food was amazing, as me and my boyfriend love Mexican food and couldn’t fault it at all. The service was amazing, our main server was so bubble and funny. It was also a celebration for my boyfriends birthday and she surprised as in a cactus costume and 2 shot of tequila. Would definitely go back again if I’m ever near the area. Definitely recommend.

What an amazing find, food was outstanding. Staff we so friendly and it is extremely dog friendly. Cannot wait to return with friends

As alway the food and service was second to none our favourite place to eat by far

I was treated last week for my 70th Birthday, to afternoon tea at Augill Castle. It was so good that we could go there, as several places are not able to serve non-residents currently, due to staff shortages. A super venue... a " shabby chic" sort of comfortable and relaxing place to be ! A fabulous Castle ! I loved that we had the choice to eat inside, but then were able to enjoy the warmth in the comfy seats outside for as long as we wished, feeling absolutely no pressure to leave. The whole experience was relaxing and fun, and it was nice to chat to the staff. The actual tea was yummy ! interesting choices, from the tiny cup of soup, to the little eclairs and tiny trifles. It was different and very tasty. Thank you so much everyone....I hope to be back !

I had booked this to celebrate our daughters 21st birthday, ( as this had been changed several times due to covid we were celebrating lots of belated events) I paid for 4 , upfront. though due to covid only 3 could attend, I gave plenty of notice explaining the situation but they reassured me they would make it extra special for us , and put extras on the high tea to compensate for the missing 4 th person as I had paid for it . Unfortunately we did not get any extras , to say I was upset is an understatement! It ruined a lovely day for us . I couldn’t eat anything I was that mad , emotional and upset . Our daughter and husband said what they consumed was ok,, but the atmosphere was spoiled and they could see I was upset,( even though I did try to keep it under wraps ) we left within the hour. I did speak to someone about the situation but the moment was lost . They do a sweet and savoury hightea for x2 which I assumed we would get one of each as I had explained in my emails and telephone .conversations that is what I wanted . I really hope they step up and give me back a refund for 1 . As I paid for a service I didn’t receive.

Casual dining at it's finest. Superb atmosphere and fabulous food. We live locally and had visiting friends with us who were also very impressed.

We live locally so we were delighted to hear that this restaurant had opened up to non-residents. We had a lovely meal in a delightful setting. The service was friendly, informal but still attentive. We will be back!

The staff were very friendly and the food was amazing. Gorgeous meal and will be returning

stayed in Grasmere for 5 nights this week on Tuesday we were trying to find somewhere to eat as very difficult to find anywhere unless you want to eat at 4.30 pm We enquired at Lewis's and although full owner informed us if we were able to order quickly we could sit outside to eat which we did.Food great and we also went on the Wednesday and Friday atmosphere is great as is the food which is all reasonably priced. Service is very good and friendly we were served by a nice young enthusiastic guy. Would recommend to anyone the steak was fantastic.

What a lovely evening. We took our two big sons out for dinner. The food was great. The atmosphere lovely. The staff friendly and helpful.

Absolutely lovely food, service is super quick but we were put upstairs and we there was a group of 8 young girls also upstairs we just could not hear ourselves talk they were so loud which spoiled the relaxing meal we were going to stay for more wine but we ended up leaving due to the level of noise.

Absolutely amazing as always

Had afternoon tea twice at the Castle. Once pre lockdown and one at the end of June 2021. I can say both occasions were lovely. Nice food, great service and in beautiful surroundings. We will be back

We visited whilst holidaying in the South Lakes, Tracy managed to fit us in at short notice. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Food was outstanding, I had the chicken Fajitas which were the best I have had by a long way, my wife had the beef bowl which I tasted and was delicious. My daughter who has coeliac disease had the chicken enchiladas gluten free and again I tasted and were really good. It’s a shame we are over 2 hours away otherwise we would be regulars and can recommend a visit but book as popular.
