Reviews in Cumbria and Lake District

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!!

we have been going to the lake district for over 10 years and have always enjoyed our local pub/restaurant the sticklebarn.we last visited the sticklebarn 2 years ago and we were surprised how much the price of the meals had increased and we were not impressed with the quality of the food on 2 occasions during our stay.we recently visited the stickle barn this year 11th-13th june 2010 and we were really unhappy with a few things.firstly the prices had risen again (£9.25 for a burger and chips) secondly that there was no families with children??? also the management and staff were very dull in attitude.after noticing a few people had left nearly half of their dinners i decided to ask one women customer why she had left half her burger,to which she replied the burger had no taste and the bun was saturated in fat.we both agreed that the quality of the food had gone downhill in the last few years and the prices had gone up.i decided to go into ambelside where i found a really nice fish and chip shop that sold fish and chips for £5.00 which is nearly half the price of the sticklebarn,and was very happy with the portion and quality..i know where i will be eating in future when visiting great langdale...

Fantastic Bangladeshi food. Try the super hot 'vindaroo'....dedicated to Wayne Rooney! Also, Wednesdays and Sundays there are special menu deals on offer! If you go, tell them Mark from Aspatria recommended them!!

Delicious food and a great little cafe for people who like to find 'a hidden gem' in a back street. This is one place that is definitely worth searching for. So much much better than many of the other cafes in Ulverston.

Many local people consider this pub to be the place to go for good grub but on my last couple of visits the food and service have not been up to scratch and the prices are on the high side for what you get. Large portions yes but quality?.....mmmh??

Nice cafe, lovely decor and good menu. However staff can be a bit OTT. More American than English in service!

One of the best meals i've ever had. A great experience!

A proper traditional pub set within arguably the finest scenery in the world. A drinkers/diners heaven
