Reviews in Cumbria and Lake District

Fantastic lunch, not expensive, superb celeriac pear soup with croutons, homemade bread, interesting wine list available BY THE GLASS,lovely house, friendly people.

A a wonderful time at this awesome lakeland pub last weekend. We plonked ourselves in front of their amazing real fire and ate and drank ourselves silly! A must if in Bowness on Windermere

Enjoyed my scampi, chips and salad at the High Cross. Friendly service and the beer was good too. Next time I will hog the roaring fire!

Our cafe of choice in Ulverston. Nice atmosphere, good quality food, decent portions and pleasant service. Only small gripe is the dark windows, covered with blinds that you cannot see the street out of.

So glad this place has opened in Ulverston. We loved the place they used to own, The Hat Trick Cafe. They have brought their 'pleasantly odd' style and great food to our manor. We will be regulars.

Great fish and chips from this venue. Queue out the door for the takeaway which is always a good sign.

Must say best coffee for miles , well worth a visit if only for a coffee.

Terrible! The salad was wilted and stale. The coffee was weak because they put water in the cup before the coffee! I have never seen that done before. It was undrinkable.

Just been tonight - six of us - lovely meal - we all enjoyed it - the only fault was even though we went early young girls in the conservatory/dining room made really loud noise the whole time. We could not hear each other talk and no one asked them to be a little bit quieter, which would have made the evening perfect .

Best chateaubrioand I have ever had. Staff were great, price was spot on, would truely recommend to anyone.

If you are in Kendal and you want a lite bite, or something more substantial Charlie's is the best in town, order at the counter then take a seat, it is usually busy so you may have to wait a short while because everything is freshly made. With good food and cheerful service it is the place to eat.

Very tasty meatballs and the wife had a veggie Stroganoff. The area was having a powercut but they still managed to accommodate us. Very helpful and friendly service from the young team.

The best beer in Christendom. Deservedly CAMRA pub of the year 2013. No food to speak of though, apart from cheese toasties and a fine selected of sweeties. It's all about the beer.

Great selection of teas and coffees to drink in the premises or buy to take away. We bought some coffee and a mug for a gift.

Lovely meals,perfect service by outstanding staff. thank you.

Found this place on Sugarvine and was very pleased we did. Stayed the night and had a great meal too. I loved the venison cottage pie which was so much better than a traditional one. My partner very much enjoyed his Hake with Chorizo too. We enjoyed a nice Rioja to accompany the meal. Service was good and my man liked the Ales from the four poster bed bar!

We called at Brambles after a walk on the fells. The welcome was warm and inviting for both us and our two cocker spaniels. The coffee and scones were delicious. We will definitely be visiting Brambles on our future visits to Windermere!

Had a great lunch in the lovely beer garden of this pub. Good large portions, my chicken and ham suet was spot on. Good Deuchars Ale too. Will return.
