Love this place. A real Lakeland Inn located in Elterwater a perfect spot. The weather was far from perfect so lunch was great to escape the torrent. Fine Cumbrian Ales and hearty food. My chicken, ham and leak pie was spot on and the wife enjoyed the soup. The Britannia Inn is a must if in the Langdales!
Britannia Inn – AmblesideApple Pie Bakery is always my port of call when hungry in Ambleside. Pietastic!
Apple Pie Eating House and Bakery – AmblesideExcellent food, far better than "normal pub grub"! Lovely atmosphere, very friendly staff. Good range of choices and very reasonably priced.
Cross Keys Inn – PenrithWe would just like to thank the Bistro for a lovely buffet last night, could not have asked for more. Even though we were a small group the spread put on for us was great . Had an eventful interesting visit for a scary night with the plague doctor.
Wellington Bistro @ The Beacon – WhitehavenFantastic meal! Scallops, salt beef, bass veal wine alll just very good. A place you must really try!
Lake Road Kitchen – AmblesideFantastic stay at Langdale Chase again. Lovely autumn get away!
Langdale Chase – WindermereThe best cafe ever, quality homemade food fresh everyday!
Butterflies Tearooms – WorkingtonThe worst food I have had tasteless. The chicken was tasteless not marinaded tough tasted like packet processed horrible bland! I just can't believe we had to pay good hard earned money for that food. This is obviously why we were one of two tables. Please don't waste your money.....
Curry Spice – MillomHad two evening meals Wed, Thurs Sept/Oct 1st food and restraunt excellent staff very friendly and helpful. Will certainly book on our next visit to Ambleside.
Zeffirellis Pizzeria – AmblesideBest pint I have had in a long time and to see barley wine on a hand pump was great. Many thanks, Jack.
Black Bull Hotel – ConistonAfter trying local pubs for food we tried Sarah's on a last evening. Amazing food and surroundings staff were more than polite and we were allowed to take our own drink ......Most definitely will be returning if we find ourselves in Conniston........Go on you know you want to give them a try.

Sara’s Indian Restaurant – ConistonSteak pie out of this world, hence both having it tonight. Fab friendly people.l ove it.
The Ship Inn – UlverstonGreat pub in a great location on the riverside at Pooley Bridge Penrith. The Crown In has one of the best beer gardens I have sat in on a lovely summers day with the kids playing in the water. Enjoyed the local Ullswater ale too.
The Crown Inn – Pooley BridgeAnother great pub in Pooley Bridge. Packed on Saturday afternoon.We sat in the beer garden while the kids played on the slide. Great pint of Jennings bitter and a fine scampi with chunky chips. Spoiled for choice in these parts!
Sun Inn – PenrithMy family and I stayed up the road at the Waterside campsite and went to the Pooley Bridge Inn for food and beers. We were not disappointed and really enjoy their 'funday' that had on Saturday. Would return and recommend.
Pooley Bridge Inn – PenrithWe ate in The Crown Inn last Sunday evening (26 July) and enjoyed a fab meal.
Crown Inn – PenrithWe visited the NT tea room at Aira Force on 23 July 2015 and were impressed with the cleanliness of the cafe, quality of food on offer and the lovely, helpful staff serving it. My teenage niece is a vegan and was thrilled to be able to enjoy the chocolate and coconut flapjack. So often there is little available for her when we eat out. There were tables outside as well but it was a bit too chilly that day.
Aira Force Tea Rooms – PenrithMy family like visiting the Lakes for walking holidays and Pooley Bridge is one of our favourite places to visit as its so beautiful and we love the ferry round Ullswater. I've visited Granny Dowbekins multiple times and there hasn't been a single time that I've been disappointed in the quality of service, food or location. The staff are all lovely and made me feel very welcome, the food is delicious (best gingerbread this side of London), and the location next to the river is very calming and especially pretty on a sunny day. If you happen to be passing through or nearby Pooley Bridge I recommend that you stop by and pick up a cake/sandwich and a doggy bag if you have a dog.
