My wife and i along with our 20 months old daughter were impressed with the menu, style and cost at Ambles. On our last night in the lakes we decided to dine their. Taking advantage of their early bird menu from 5 pm. On entering the totally empty Ambles Bistro (5:30pm Fri 3rd July 09) we was meet by a member of staff, a lady in her 50's. She looked horrified as we walked through the door. Conversation went: "sorry we dont have push chairs in here" me: "Ok, any reason why?" "We are not insured for them" me: " OK, i will leave it outside " "We dont have a children's menu" me: " Thats ok, my daughter as eaten, its just my wife and i" "I'm sorry you would have to make a reservation, if theres three of you" me: " there is no one in here? " At which point my wife was so embarrassed she asked me to leave with her and find some where else to dine. If Ambles has a no children business plan, then that i totally understand and respect. However i found her continuous excuses insulting and distressing. Ambles, please make it clear if you dont want children in your restaurant. May be display a notice in your window. Many thanks, Craig ( West Yorkshire )

Recently visited Ambles with my partner and we were very impressed, the food was excellent and the service was even better. Very quick and efficient along with the friendly staff and warm atmosphere made it over all a very pleasant place to dine, would recommend anyone to eat here you will not be disappointed.

We stumbled on this restaurant by accident. On the menu it states that they cater for coeliacs (no wheat or gluten) and the menu makes it quite clear which of the dishes are not suitable for coeliacs. However, if you make it known that you are coeliac the chef will leave out the elements that may cause a problem. This means that most of the items on the menu are OK. Most of the dishes on the a la carte menu are available in the 3 course for £14.95 menu.

We went to Ambles over a year ago, and when we recently returned the menu hadn't changed - so I'm hoping that the food hadn't either! Whilst slightly stuck in a time warp (fruit juice starters etc) the food is lovingly prepared and fantastic to eat. It's also under £20 for three courses - and that's including steak! Well worth a visit.
