Avoid! They don't seem to know what they are selling or that they have an obligation to describe things correctly. They offer various 'juices' which should be described as 'drinks' as they are laced with sugar and other additives. Also they kept cleaning surfaces near food with a very smelly and probably toxic cleaning agent! NOT for anyone with any care for health!
Miller Howe Cafe – GrasmereEnjoyed a couple of pints of Loweswater outside this beautiful venue in the the sun! I will return and eat, thats for sure. Think it used to be the Sawrey Hotel but now it's the Cuckoo Brow Inn.
The Cuckoo Brow Inn – AmblesideMy parents and I ate here 3 weeks ago. The service was spot on, small village welcoming, professional in it's delivery and attentive without being overbearing. The food was well presented and enjoyable. Sea bass with black olive and tomato sauce, new potatoes, seasonal veg and steaks cooked as requested which were tender enough for my older parents to eat. This was washed down by real ale, locally made and sourced. We spent £55 for 3 including drinks and tip. We're going back this weekend. And dogs are very welcome!
The Sun Inn – KeswickWe Visit Pillars every-time we take a trip to Keswick now. Its just beautiful, immaculate and the food is delicious with great service. Although the interior is beautiful I'm dreading the winter when I wont be able to enjoy the lovely balcony area and soak in the outside atmosphere. I'm hoping that it will be open in evening by Oct so we can take our family when we visit for a weekend and introduce them to a very special place......
Pillar House – KeswickAmazing food here at Porto Bowness. The dessert was the best ever...sticky toffee souffle.
Porto Restaurant – WindermereThis was a fab little night club just went yesterday had such a nice time sad fb, nice dance floor had such a fab time with the fab Leo Cheshire gang x
The Dun Horse Inn – KendalThis is a lovely place to eat. Attentive staff; tasty food and a friendly atmosphere. One of the best indian takeaways in Cumbria!
Maryport Tandoori – MaryportI was recommended by a friend to visit this restaurant. Without doubt, this is the best Indian restaurant I have ever had the pleasure to visit. The staff were so welcoming and nothing was too much trouble, they truly make the experience great. The owner/chef is in a different league to the general run of the mill, his passion is clearly visible in the love he adds to his wonderf ul cuisine!! He really cares about his customers and came out to speak with us asking what we like most. It's so rare to see such passion and care. I sincerely recommend this beautiful, spotlessly clean establishment. Book early!! The people of Carlisle know how good this place is and it fills up quickly!!!
Bari – CarlisleMy wife and I met my brother and his partner last night at the restaurant for a meal and we all thoroughly enjoyed all the three courses that we had. I did expect it to be good, as I have eaten chef Ryan Blackburns food several times while he was at The Cottage in the Woods in Cumbria, however it was much better than good. The restaurant is smallish, but on the plus side you get personal service, on the negative, you will need to book well in advance to get a table. William Wordsworth had a desk in part of the restaurant. It is fine dining in a relaxed envirement. His menu is small, but it changes with availability of fresh seasonal food. Ryan's brother works in the restaurant with other servers and all are very friendly and helpful, explaining the dishes and answering any questions.It is a bit of a drive for us from Braithwaite, but we cannot wait to go back.
Old Stamp House – AmblesideI visited this lovely little restaurant with my disabled husband and the service was superb ,the food was absolutely out of this world .The owner helped me to get my husband to the car .We have been there several times and the same excellent service and kindness was given. I could not fault this restaurant. Martha Roberts Brough Cumbria.
The Mango Tree – Kirkby StephenScrumptious food...service first rate! We had a takeaway which was ready exactly time ordered....not only will we order again when in Keswick, but the restaurant looked so welcoming, we will also treat our selves to a meal out......soon.
Lakeland Spice – KeswickWe chose to go here for a cream tea as a food break on a long walk. What a massive mistake. The tea was weak and hugely over priced. The scones were served with double cream not clotted cream!!! This does not deserve to be called a tea room.
Aira Force Tea Rooms – PenrithCelebrated 44th wedding anniversary here Aug 2013 whilst on holiday. Enjoyed it so much, food best we have ever had, coming back this year for our 45th. Booked some time ago to make sure we got a table. Look forward to seeing you again on 16th Aug.
Jumble Room – GrasmereEnjoy a wonderful couple of days here. Great spot in the heart of Bowness. Will return and recommend.
Angel Inn – WindermereEaten there 6 times.Owner very hands on.All staff very smart / very attentive.Food always very well presented and of an excellent standard.Have recommended to many people, all have been very impressed.Drinks a bit on the dearer side but food / atmosphere more than makes up for it .Well worth a visit when in the Lakes but recommend booking first.
Cantina – WindermereOver the last 5 years we have been regular customers until tonight's experience which I have reported on trip adviser and intend to report to the National Tourist board. Incredibly bad rude service and cold food and when I rang later to discuss in was told I do not want to talk to you and the rude man hung up.
Villa Positano – WindermereWhat a find! Went for a Sunday ramble through the nearby nature reserve and then spent a lovely afternoon in the sunshine on the terrace at the back of the White Hart enjoying the fabulous views out over the meadows. I had a casserole of Norwegian venison for a late lunch/early dinner washed down with a couple of pints of Tetleys cask ale. It’s a pretty pub inside too and it looks like it would be lovely and cosy in winter. Apparently you can stay over too. The village of Bouth is certainly off the Lakeland tourist trail but still fairly close to Newby Bridge and the Haverthwaite steam railway and in my opinion well worth seeking out.
The White Hart Inn – Ulverstongreat food very good customer service.
