Really going to repeat many of the comments already on this site. The food is terrific, better than I expected and far better than literally anything else in Barrow. The seats are a bit austere and lack padding and it wasn't busy when I ate at lunchtime so it lacked a little atmosphere. That said, this place is a class act and beautifully presented. It won't be long before it's crammed full of Barrovians 24/7. Very very very good.
Duke of Edinburgh Hotel – Barrow-in-Furnessvery good place to go, you have to book first as it's a popular wedding venue but you won't be disappointed
Chequers Hotel – Barrow-in-Furnesspopular place to eat in barrow, gets so full weekday lunchtimes you may have to wait for a seat and you may even have to share a table but it's worth it.
Fig Tree Cafe – Barrow-in-FurnessSet in an outstanding location overlooking Lake Windermere, Holbeck Ghyll is the quintessential Country House Hotel. The food is of exceptional quality and presentation although 'hearty eaters' had best look elsewhere. More the place for Ladies who Lunch or a romantic dinner. Lunch is a set price with a limited choice, but a must for 'foodies' Good wine list.
Holbeck Ghyll Country House Hotel – WindermereBest of the 'traditional' pubs in town, the Dog & Gun offers great beer, great food and a great atmosphere. Packed with locals every night of the week - always a good sign in a tourist town.
Dog and Gun – KeswickGreat traditional Lakeland pub - one of the best examples in the Lakes. Great food, a good range of beers (if you like Jennings) and a great location with a nice beer garden. Of course, they celebrate this fact by hiking the prices up accordingly.
Horse and Farrier Inn – KeswickI love the square orange, one of my favourite places in the lakes. Tiny and full of charm, its my favourite place in town to go hide away from the crowds. Packed full of locals on a weekend, always a good sign in a tourist town. Top quality live music on a thursday, just a lovely little place to go chill out
Square Orange Cafe Bar – KeswickBest of the international restaurants in Keswick - been around for years and very popular with both locals and tourists. Great food, reasonably priced. Good for groups and open late.
Golden Hills – Keswickwonderful - don't need to say any more!
Log House Restaurant – AmblesideThe food is so great. The owner are friendly. They can cook the real Thai that I never met them before in UK. I would like to recommend if you have a trip in the Lake District.
Doi Intanon Thai Restaurant – AmblesideAwesome
Bosuns Locker Cafe – Barrow-in-FurnessGreat place great food great staff, we all had a fantastic evening
Lynebank House – Hotel & Restaurant – CarlisleWhen we went to book a table for two hours time, the waitress seemed totally stressed out and disinterested in us and we wondered whether we'd made a mistake. However because it looked so enticing from outside we took our table for 2. Things had calmed down, the candles had been lit and the service seemed more under control. The food was lovely, especially the starter, although the main and desserts were not exceptional. Small additions to the menu by Lucy herself added alot of fun and character to the experience. It feels like you're dining in a warm and homely atmosphere. In fact it was so good we returned there the 2nd night, mainly cos the other restaurants in Ambleside were either closed or didn't look as inviting. I'm hoping to return oneday and try the cookery course!
Lucy’s On A Plate – AmblesideGreat place great food great staff, we all had a fantastic evening
Lynebank House – Hotel & Restaurant – CarlisleAt last a touch of class for Barrow, great bar menu with excellent food for very little money. Congrats to the interior designers the place looks lovely, only trouble is you don't want to leave even though the drinks are expensive you feel prepared to pay the price.
Duke of Edinburgh Hotel – Barrow-in-FurnessTHE best curry house in Keswick. Staff are fab, very welcoming. Loads of choice on the menu and food is out of this world. Advisable to book in the summer months and at weekends. try it if your in town. you wont regret it!
Lakeland Spice – KeswickReally good lunch here. We work at the Town Hall and had an excellent meal on Thursday. Delicious and obviously home made. I like it here a lot and would recommend it to people looking for a touch of class in Barrow.
Duke of Edinburgh Hotel – Barrow-in-FurnessI have been a customer in the Vic for a few years along with many of my friends lvy and family. there is a great friendly atmosphere. The person responsible for the last comment needs to take a good hard look at why he will have been refused. the landlord and landlady are very fair when refusing to serve someone. they would have had a very good reason not to serve them whatever it may have been. i would recommend this pub to anyone and everyone from the young to the old!! fantastic!!
