Visited last year 2010 out of curiosity....because we had watched Brambles progress on TV. EXCELLENT is the word I can use to describe the place, food, and friendly service. Very relaxed and in no hurry to get rid of us and it was continually full the rest of the week. Will be visiting again this year on our holiday.!!
Brambles Coffee Bar – WindermereHave called in twice during July & Aug. 2011 for both lunch and afternoon tea. Excellent, wholesome, well presented food, tasty and just as you'd like it - if you'd made it yourself. Very high standards of cleanliness and most welcoming and helpful, polite staff. Will become a regular calling place for us when in Lakes.
Bowness Kitchen – Windermerevery nice food, reasonably priced. waitress very 'stuck up'. (red haired) spoke to me like she was telling me off. overall, good
Ship Inn At Roose – Barrow-in-FurnessWould recommend this place to anyone who likes eating in Wetherspoons. Thar's the quality of the meal we had there last weekend. Oh and on complaining and then paying we were asked to leave immediately. On returning to my car in the morning my cars roof had been slashed. working on the principle that the two aren't linked then watch out for someone in the sleepy town of Brigsteer carrying a knife.
The Wheatsheaf Inn – KendalMe and my partner go Here at least once a month the food is fantastic cooked to order and nice and fresh waitin on staff very polite and well dressed if your visiting the lake district oilys is the place to eat well worth the money and the best grub in west Cumbria Well done oilys xx
Oily’s – WorkingtonLike lots of others we visited as we had seen it on television. We were most disappointed, we had tea and flapjacks, the tea was ok but the flapjacks were as hard as bricks,!
Brambles Coffee Bar – WindermereOhhh what a place to eat. We come to the Lakes twice a year for a nice break and always visit The George and Dragon now, when we are here. It has never let us down on service and lovely food. I have to say the chocolate Pot is something i always finish my meal with and will do everytime, if it stays on the menu.. I will be visiting The George and Dragon weekend 5th August and cant wait.. X

Original John’s Place – CarlisleThis place really was superb an unexpected treat for me and my wife we used to dine here when it was the Porthole. We saw a sign for the roof terrace and it was a lovely day so we went in a booked a table on their for dinner. We were greeted by a lovely friendly lady who showed us to our table upstairs. There was music playing and the sun was still shining it felt like we were in the Med! The food we ordered was all lovely my wife's salmon was best dish, served with pumpkin ravioli yum! We really did not expect this place to be so good, thank you for putting back a great place to eat in Bowness!
Porto Restaurant – WindermereAfter reading the reviews I took a friend out for the evening and was disappointed. My lasagna was just ok and the banana split was the poorest I have ever had. No fruit salad, nuts, decoration - only banana, ice cream and cream. Poor
Oily’s – WorkingtonExcellent food and lovely setting. Well done to Warwick and team.
Oily’s – WorkingtonStayed here on the recommendation of Sugarvine. My partner and I were very impressed and loved the food in the brasserie. A real gem of a rural retreat in the North Lakes.
The Pheasant – CockermouthWhat am amazing place! This was the second place we stayed having been recommended by Sugarvine. A deserved winner of many awards! I would also drop Sugarvine an email if you are looking for some insider knowledge on where to eat or stay in the Lakes.
Drunken Duck Inn – AmblesideDined here with my family including my 3yr old granddaughter who was made very welcome!. The food was absolutely excellent!.

Lovely food, lovely place, lovely service, well worth a visit!!
