Reviews in Cumbria and Lake District

My sister and I had food at this place. We waited an hour and a half for our food to arrive. The whole entire time no one came to our table to explain why it was taking so long. We only had one drink because no one came to our table. Then we asked to take our food away they put everything in two containers when we had ordered at least 4 dishes. My prawns were cooked too much they tasted like rubber. Seriously do not waste your money there is so much better restaurants in windermere. If i save one person from this place I'll be happy!!!!!!

wonderful meal in a lovely restaurant with friendly service.

My friend and I ate here in June but had mixed feelings about our Rossini experience. The mixed starter was very nice, especially the pate. Our main courses weren't that good however. My steak was quite fatty and my friend's chicken dish was mediocre. The service could have been better, it was a quiet week night and the restaurant was less than half full but it took about 25 mins to get the second glass of wine we ordered. To sum up it was OK but could have been better.

One of my favourite cafes in Ulverston. The best coffee in town, lovely cakes, and the sandwiches are fantastic. Last time I was in the cafe I had a stilton and pear sandwich. Delicious and the bread is to die for. My friend loved here pork and apple sandwich as well.

A recent visit left me wishing i lived closer to this lovely pub. A warm welcome and really friendly staff with delicious uncomplicated food, a great choice of beer for my husband and wine for me meant we really enjoyed our meal here, it knocked the socks of other places in the area. we will definitely be back with friends.

Stayed here a few times and it is always good customer service. The place is very friendly, the food is delicious and I can bring my dog. It's the perfect place to unwind, traditional but with the modern comforts - and fantastic beds.

Just to let everyone know this restaurant has been newly refurbished and now has a wine cellar in which is truly amazing, we were shown round this by the Manager (I think his name was Stephen). We ate in there both nights of our stay and will be going back very soon. There was a good choice on the menu as my wife is vegetarian and also has some allergies but this was not a problem. We will be back and thank you for a great break away.

Great pub in the heart of the glorious Langdales. Very dog friendly too. We enjoyed a Goulash and a steak and guinness pie, hearty helpings...

Its still as great as it was in 2007. I had the rarebit yesterday and it is still delicious.

Beautiful setting and fantastic service cheese/meat board superb. we went for a friends birthday and had a £30 voucher, thank god we did as the £102.00 bill was double what I would of liked to pay for the standard of the food. We eat a lot as a couple and a family at the Duke of Edinburgh in Barrow which is the sister pub of the Mill , this place needs a few lessons from them guys. Lots of potential people but the second time we have give you a try and come away saying "close but no star". Keep trying...

beer is top notch but the staff only care about the money (dude with grey hair and bad teeth is prime eg~~~~) been a local for years when winter is here that love you when summer is here they want the tourists, best try keswick lodge,dog and gun oddys ect

The Special Curry is to die for as is the Toffee Banana. Fantastic place!

Myself (male) and two male friends decided to try Italian and went to Rossinis in Ulverston last March (2010). The menu was quite impressive for just a market town in the wilds of South Cumbria. We all decided on Pizzas and we swapped and "picked and mixed". They took a while to arrive but were cooked fresh from original ingredients. You could tell from the taste. While we were waiting the helpful waiter brought us complimentary marinated mixed olives - delicious. We were taking turns to drive so stuck to soft drinks but we noticed that they have Peroni on draught - so next time? Anyway for us there will be a next time - definitely. They do take away as well, but you have to phone ahead. Pop, Paul & Pete.

this is the place to eat in ambleside if you love italian food &good service. wonderful atmosphere go go go to dodds

The Engine Inn has now been refitted,and what a fantastic difference,they have a new Chef and The food is,some of the best I have tasted in Cumbria for a,long time,everything is homemade,and locally sourced,and booking is now essential.Real ale is also served,and dogs are allowed,the staff are really friendly,and helpful.

Would not eat at this restaurant again. Garlic Mushroom starter were the worst I've sampled, and the garlic bread with cheese was burnt.

We have just came back from having a meal and a fantastic time at Oilys, 4 of us ate there tonight and had a great meal. The staff that was on tonight were FANTASTIC taking the time to talk to us and made us feel very welcome. The FOOD was not fantastic it was EXCELLENT. we have decided that from now on we will only be going to oilys. WELL DONE oilys keep up the good work.

Recently visited the Village Inn with family for my 40th birthday there was a total of 19 people we all pre ordered & every meal was hot & not one person said anything but the food & staff were great 10/10!!
