Excellent food and good service. We enjoyed our visit very much. Be aware that much of the restaurant is accessed by a short flight of stairs with a chair lift.

Been a couple of times now and the food has been exceptional on both occasions. The menu has a good variety on both food and drinks. All the staff are very friendly and welcoming. I would recommend it to anybody, and will definitely be back.

Really lovely food. Well presented, fantastic combination of flavours. The restaurant looks quite unprepossessing from the outside, but was a real revelation inside! Would recommend to anyone who really loves food.

We were visiting the Lake District for a few days and staying in Penrith. We went here for dinner on our second night and we was not disappointed. It was a Sunday evening so wasn’t very busy but we still got a warm welcome from the staff and owner. I asked the waitress for recommendations as I couldn’t choose from all the great options. She recommended the soufflé for starter and lamb for main and that is what I went with. My husband had the fish starter and the duck for main. The food was absolutely amazing and the portions were really good too. We also got some lovely bread with olive oil and balsamic vinegar to start. I had the rhubarb and ginger crumble for dessert. Amazing! The waitress came over and chatted with us quite a bit asking where we had visited and where we had eaten etc. she gave us some ideas for where to go. It was a lovely evening and would highly recommend.

We've been returning to this lovely restaurant for a few years now. It never fails to impress.. From Heather delivering the friendly informed service, to the excellent food... The menu is not very large, but it is a small venue, BUT.. We have never been disappointed with the quality of everything.. Would definitely recommend to anyone to visit..
