Reviews in Kirkby Lonsdale

Starter, chefs take on Scotch Egg was great! 5 stars for that. Portion size was on the larger size for starter and main. Staff were on the ball and provided the right level of service in a really professional way. 2x Rib Eye steak were tasty, stronger flavour than I was excepting but a little chewy, and in my opinion over done for the ‘medium’ request - I’m being picky though because it’s a £30 steak! Good enough not to complain about to the staff but an upper medium rated rib eye.

Yesterday we enjoyed a wonderful lunch along with two other members of our family. Service was spot on, the food was excellent and good value for money. Nothing at all to complain about !

We have eaten here many times since 2018 this is the only time I have experienced some issues with the food we had ordered 2 well done steaks they came out rare when asked if they could be cooked further this was not a problem however left plates with juices on & took steaks on a spatula we were told chef was cooking 2 “fresh” steaks however both original steaks came back out they were cooked better but very dry meat quality not as good as remember previously waiting staff very pleasant just few issues making it not as good experience as I’ve had before

This restaurant is one of our favourites and I think we may be classed as regulars. However last evening,the 5th December, we were disappointed. We both ate fish pie, which looked and tasted like it had been made days ago and reheated. Dry and tasteless. We mentioned our disappointment when asked at the till but there was no recourse

Our Ruby wedding was celebrated here on 30th November 2025. The food was amazing and the staff were very professional and attentive. Our 28 guests were all served very promptly and all commented about the exceptional quality. I would highly recommend this venue for a party of this size. Thank you very much The Lunesdale.

Lovely pub with excellent food and friendly staff

First time eating here and will definitely go again. Food was excellent, service was excellent and good value, £138 for four mains, a kids meal, 5 desserts and three drinks. Not sure how to mark atmosphere as we were the earliest available booking and were the only ones there but it was getting busier as we left.

A really lovely meal. Relaxing ambience, fantastic starter, excellent house wine and really good quality produce well cooked. Full marks . Enjoyed everything g about the meal and thank you to the smiling and helpful staff.

This is such a fantastic place to go. I love the food and thankfully they dont only serve British fare. You can get seafood and the mussels are incredible! Excellent service always.

Excellent Sunday lunch at Lunesdale Arms yesterday. 2nd visit - while on a Lake District break. Excellent meal with great customer service - would highly recommend if you are in Kirkby Lonsdale area.

Lovely welcome, and a delicious meal, plenty of it too! Staff were very attentive, Highly recommend a visit.

The Lunesdale Arms never disappoints. We enjoyed another wonderful Sunday roast dinner. Staff are always friendly. Here’s to our next visit.

Met up with my parents for lunch on Friday. Both of us drove ~1.5hr to get there and it was well worth it. The food was excellent (in fact the portions were too much for us, so I brought some home) and the staff were fantastic, very friendly and very helpful. They were still two-thirds full when we left after 3pm. We will definitely go back.

Fabulous evening, great atmosphere and beautiful food. Staff were exceptional.

Food is always spot on Service is exceptional Waitresses are always smiling and deliver a great standard of service

A lovely meal with very attentive staff. Thank you for making our evening special.

Absolutely first class from the really upbeat greeting and service from the young staff who all seem to want to do a great job, to the amazing food and generous portions. So many pubs now offer mediocrity but not here. It’s not often I do reviews but this one was a must.

Easy booking, friendly and attentive staff, delicious food.
