Reviews in Cumbria and Lake District

Had lunch with 2 friends on Friday 8th August. We all said the food was delicious and our waiter was very welcoming and made us feel welcome. Got there in time for Happy Hour so meal was very reasonably priced. Will definitely be going back.

Excellent pies as always. Really tasty food and good service.

As always a lovely meal and friendly staff giving efficient service.

Booked a table with ease using the online booking system. The pub was clean, nicely decorated, we were seated immediately and had drinks served within 5 minutes. When it came to ordering food we had an issue as the children’s menu differed from the website which we had already looked at before booking. This meant my little boy couldn’t have what he wanted, he chose something else but we were a little annoyed. The food came quickly and was absolutely beautiful! We thoroughly enjoyed our meal which was well presented and cooked to perfection. Very reasonable prices and we would absolutely go again.

As always lovely food and great service. Hope to be back soon.

Welcoming & friendly, great choice of dishes including plenty of GF options. All dishes delicious. Will definitely return!

Lovely bistro, nice staff, very good food, good service

We both loved our meals at the bistro. Friendly staff and lovely atmosphere too

We have eaten here many times and enjoyed every one. The food is excellent, and portions generous. Prices are average. The staff are always friendly and helpful. If they are very busy it may take a little while to be served but it's certainly worth the wait. If we want a meal out, it's always our first choice.

Booked again at The Queens Head Tirral, great atmosphere, our food has always been terrific, this time however, my husband ordered the Fish and Chips, which is just a favourite there, the batter was very overcooked, this may I add is the first time its been like that, all other times its been absolutely delicious, did wonder if the same chef was there? This though, will not stop us going back, plenty on the menu to choose from.

Lovely home cooked food. Friendly service and cosy setting. Would recommend.

A party of 5 of us visited on Wednesday. The food was very nice - a slight issue with my husband’s meal - some of it being cold but this was resolved quickly and they brought him another one . A small point perhaps but all the plates were cold which doesn’t help with food temperature and could easily be resolved. My katsu curry was also very mild - I understand that it is difficult to cater for all tolerances and tastes but a bit more heat would have meant a more authentic dish.

Nice food. Good service. Nice atmosphere. Lam was excellent.

Great food. Lovely friendly helpful staff. We had a very pleasant relaxed couple of hours . Food excellent couldn't fault anything thanks

Love this place .always call when in the lakes good food and service

Delightful lunch here on our Settle-Carlisle rail trip. Great risotto, pizza, wine and coffee. Wouldn’t hesitate to return.

Fantastic pub, the food was excellent and the staff friendly and attentive. Unfortunately there wasn’t much choice for our dairy free child who is a very “cautious” eater. The safe option for him is usually steak but it was no longer on the menu.

A fabulous find. Set in a picturesque village, the pub is a fantastic draw all on its own. I last ate here 2019 and I’m so impressed with the latest menu and staff now in 2025. This time the venison and plumb sauces and vegetables were superb! Definitely one to swing by whenever we can.
