Reviews in Cumbria and Lake District

Good lunches and excellent home baked cakes, just the thing after a day on the Pennines

Came across by accident by will go back every time in Bowness. Lovely views from outside and nicely furnished inside. Great menu all freshly made. The pasta was excellent very well worth a visit Will stay overnight next time to enjoy

i recommend the land lords line caught Witby cod in beer batter, the best i have ever tasted and good value for money. it was actually caught by the pubs own land lord Mr Paul Ainsworth

Wanted to go there for some time and never managed to get around to it - well worth the wait, can't wait to go again!

great meals and very good bar staff made to feel very welcome great roaring log fire during the cold spell which just heats you up as you enter the food menu is quite varied my favourite was the specials board

the lamb henry was very tasty the curry was good as well

What a find. This is absolute class. Lived in area for years did nt even know it was there. Went on a recommendation from a month or 2 ago . Will definitely be going back. Food fantastic incredible wine list and I have to mention the cheese board never seen anything like it and nearly all English

I don't eat that many pies, however the one I had here was without doubt the best I've ever had! The "boho"interior and decor make a welcome change from the tradional or corporate chain look. Its a great place for walking as well!

Being the only Indian Restaurant in Ulverston should not put you off, Good honest food, helpful staff at an affordable price we eat their regularly

What a wonderful end to our holiday. Stumbled across the Angel Inn by accident. Sat outside on the terrace and had a lovely meal with my wife and two young boys. All the food was freshly cooked and well presented on the plates. Best looking and most tasty fish and chips I've had in a long time and my boys couldn't get enough of the chicken goujons. Inside the inn was even more impressive with cosy lounging areas and a modern dining area and bar. Service was very good and staff friendly. Would even consider staying there. Recommend it to anyone wanting something more than pub grub.

Lancrigg what can I say an amazing home from home hotel with a variety of wonderful home cooked vegetarian food. Set in idyllic surroundings with beautiful views a perfect place to unwind.

I visited the Jumble Room twice during a short stay at Grasmere and I was satisfied both times. I absolutely loved the colourful decoration and the relaxed atmosphere. The service was on the friendly side, effective nevertheless. The food was carefully cooked and the dishes had character. The cost was average for a quality restaurant. All in all a pleasant place.

Warm and welcoming eating area in the front of the pub. Quick service on selecting our meal provided by the pub owner. We were pleased with our meal and the cost. Also, pub owner kindly provided two Canadian tourists with a Jennings Beer Glass to take back to Summerland, British Columbia. I managed to get the glass back home in one piece and my husband (a beer drinker) was thrilled. Thank you. Maureen Crawford

The restaurant is very warm and welcoming. The food is fantastic as is the service and the lay out is quite interesting. The name loose box come from some of the booths being the old stable for the working horses and many of the old furnishings still remain. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who likes something a bit different.

We were surprised to find a contempory style pub in Windermere. The Angel is perched on the side of a hill in the town centre. The great Al Fresco area affords pleasant views and the interior has a modern city bar feel but still retains the rustic touches you'd expect in the Lakes. The food is pub style but with more of a fine dining approach to presentation. Give it a go!

As locals, we have seen three incarnation of the Log House as a restaurant and it has to be said it has gone from strength to strength. The menu is well varied and the Mediterranean style suits the quality produce used. Heath Calman's cooking is a must!

After reading a recommendation of on 'Sugarvine', my husband and I, who have recently moved fairly local to Brigsteer tried out this wonderfully friendly and relaxed establishment, and we can certainly now say it is to be our no 1 place to eat! The food, (being the best we have dined on since moving to the area from London 16 months ago) was expertly cooked and beautifully presented, it was served by a polite, attentive and pleasant waitress and the delicious wine recommended and poured by a charming and friendly chap which all together made our 10th wedding anniversary one to remember. We felt compelled to review The Wheatsheaf on this web site and hope others will share our love of the place (and that of the charming village of Brigsteer).

The Ratty Arms was converted from the old Furness Railway Station at Ravenglass and still retains a unique ?ailway flavour? On arrival there is a choice of: ?Smoking, sitting at large cubicle-style tables in the main bar area ?Non-smoking in a railway-carriage style extension under the wings of the station awning, with a railway engine fresco visible to those who face the Barrow end of the line, and ?Al fresco at tables situated in a paved part of the old station yard, ideal for a summer? day/evening. The cuisine is a mixture of home-cooked culinary delights, from Lamb Jennings at the top end of the range to a superb Club Sandwich for those inclined to the ?ighter bites? The quality is consistently high, the service excellent, and the ambiance most agreeable. Traditional beers are served with Guest ales to the Landlord? choice, and take-outs are available from the bar or kitchen. The pricing structure gives a day or evening out which is really good value for money, and which complements a day on the adjacent ?a?l Ratty?narrow-gauge railway. Well recommended. JS
