Reviews in Kirkby Lonsdale

Sat in the beer garden with a pint and a pizza, absolutely lovely.

Love the place, staff are always great. The food there is second to none. I'd ask this Brian Smith below to submit his doctors note or professional opinion on the matter. Too many people quick to think a jippy tum is from the last place they ate without realising that it takes 5-10 hours to fully go round your system . Bet he never even went to a doctors. Maybe he's competition trying to do the restaurant an injustice by lying. Rest assured peeps that Kirkby Spice is a VERY clean place

Lovely traditional eatery with old school service and meals.

Plato's is a fine establishment! Great food and drink in the heart of this lovely village.

My wife and I have visited The Tearooms quite often on a weekend, we have always eaten the All Day Breakfast and thoroughly enjoyed it. The Staff are very pleasant and the food is cooked to a high standard, no grease at all. The cakes are excellent too!!!

Great food, simple menu of british classics with great open fires and service to match.

Platos is a tapas cafe with all day English food. It used to good, but today we were all disappointed with the fare. Hard cooked eggs florentine and burgers like hockey pucks were discussed around the table. The eggs were replaced at speed and with grace and a smile. Today was maybe, just a bad day at the stoves. I hope so as Platos is a pleasing child friendly venue.

Had Lancashire Hotpot - very little meat nor carrots. It did have a good enough taste and the sliced potato on top well done.

My hubby and I ate at the Pheasant Inn last night and were bowled over by its fresh and welcoming new decor and fabulous food. I had the homemade scotch egg to start, it was soft and herby served with very crisp Parma ham and a mushroom ragout, hubby had the pressed rabbit which was amazing, really meaty served with a sweet chutney and spicy vegetables. The mains got better! My halibut was fried to perfection, but the show stopper was the locally sourced venison, incredible! So tender and tasty served with a red wine reduction mmmmmm. Hats off to Duncan, your food is fabulous and thank you Heather for your generosity in letting us stay with you. We will be back!

Food poisoning for two days. Avoid.

WOW, went to the Highwayman yesterday 28/08/11 and the food, selection of drinks and attentiveness was spot on. I've not enjoyed a meal out as much in a long time - what a little gem! I had the roast beef Sunday lunch, the rib of beef was sublime and my partner had the duck, not too strong with a lovely garlic potato gratin. Thank You

My wife & I stayed here on 4 & 5/07/2011. The Taster Menu was sampled on the first evening & we could only manage 7 of the 8 courses. We opted out of the Sticky Toffee pudding as we had no room for it! All courses were of a very high standard & the staff were friendly but not familiar. The breakfasts were most enjoyable and the evening meal on the 2nd night was also delicious. We stayed in the four poster bedroom and spent a most comfortable time. Living in Central Scotland will not prevent us returning once I've managed to shed some weight. A lovely experience.

Whilst holidaying in Kirkby Lonsdale we opted for a take away from Spice Essence. The food was reasonably priced and very nice. It looked really nice inside and was busy even early in the evening

We have just returned from a few days away in Kirkby Lonsdale. This was our first visit to the area and so had no idea where to eat. We were recommended by locals to go to Spice Essence. It was one of the best Indian restaurants we have been to, it is situated above a beautiful little courtyard and on a warm evening there are tables outside.Not expensive and the service was excellent. We will definitely go back on our next visit to the area.

Me and my wife have eaten out in the cariad lots of times, we keep going back because you can take your dogs in which is good we have 2 and the food is really good and good value for your money, all the cakes and food is all homemade and the staff are all polite and helpful, i would recommend it,

i have family in this area and always visit the cariad as it has a lovely welcoming atmosphere, it caters for children and dogs too. lovely place and will continue to visit.

Visited this place while stopping at the Plato hotel, We were just doing some shopping and fancied a brew to warm up, as the weather was freezing my toes. But we ended up having a sandwich & a piece of homemade cake too. They have all different kinds of Coffees & Tea's and the cake was to die for & value for money, The young girl who was waiting on was really helpful when asked about the area, and where best to visit, and also on "talking us into having a slice of cake" : ) Well done

We were staying in the area and were recommended to The Plough we were very disappointed. Service was slow, unfriendly and lacking in sophistication. starters were tasty, nice idea to have the small plates but my main course was served tepid and bland. An unfortunate experience maybe teething troubles?.
