Reviews in Windermere

Great Pub with rooms in the beautiful winster valley. We enjoyed our food and were well looked after. As was our dog, being brought his own bowl of water!

What an amazing place to eat! My wife and I stumbled across this lovely looking building whilst looking for somewhere to have our evening meal. The best places often seem to be the tucked away ones, and The White House is such a hidden gem. We had no idea what to expect when we got there, and were immediately pleasantly surprised by the decor and relaxed vibe of the place. We were taken care of constantly from the moment we arrived with drinks offered, canopes brought and coats hanged up for us. And as for the food, well it was without doubt among the best we've ever tasted, cooked to perfection and brought swiftly. It was one of those memorable meals that you look back on for many years to come, positioned well above the average, mediocre and forgettable that seem to be so commonplace. The standard of service was brilliant too with us being tended to consistently throughout our time there. Our table was somewhat tucked away, and as a result in some restaurants we've sometimes felt forgotten about. That was not the case with The White House as we were made to feel very valued as customers from start to finish. We left with a very pleasant exchange with the warm and friendly staff, promising to put our comments on Sugarvine, and vowing to return. Well the Sugarvine comments are on, and now we're so much looking forward to doing the other bit, going back to this amazing hidden gem.

Me and my boyfriend went the prince of india on valentines night and we loved it. All the staff were very friendly and helpful, the menu price stayed the same on valentines day as most places put the prices up, I had chicken korma and it was lovely the service was quick the the prices were very good, I also got a red rose! There was lots to chose from on the menu and there was a great desert menu. We will be going again if we stay in windermere.

My boyfriend and I ate here on Saturday 13th Feb 2010 for both our anniversary and valentines day. We had a 3 course meal with a bottle of wine. I have to say it was one of the best meals we have ever had. The service was excellent, the food sublime and the wine delicious. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and would give it 10/10.

Good home cooking , Very clean and very friendly service . Will call again on our next visit to the lakes .

We ( a party of 8) have just spent our 4th new years break here. Once again the staff have come up trumps. The New Years Eve meal was fabulous. The service was excellent and the ambience of the hotel still remains friendly and welcoming.. Its a great place to stay and even a better place to eat. Miss it miss out

We always dined here when in lakes, but, I'm afraid things changed on our last visit. Very rude, ignorant member of staff - I can't believe someone would speak to a customer the way she did. Only reason we stayed was because everywhere else was full and I was very hungry. We ate upstairs - food brought on paper plates, plastic cutlery, and, my husbands chicken was full of ice!!! He would not let me complain as I was so annoyed he was worried I would really lose my temper. I know you cannot publish but please pass on my comments to the establishment.

my wife and i ate at this delightful restaurant 18 months ago and had a wonderful meal. since then we have talked about another trip to the lake district and, more importantly perhaps, another meal at The White House. Well, we were not disappointed. The service was very good, the staff very welcoming and the food was superb. Well worth the wait, and look forward to our next visit!! tess and col xx

good service, good food in this pleasant Indian restaurant.

Visited Jintana as a party of four (9 Oct 2009), we had not booked but was assured there would be a table in 5 mins. True to her word and as busy as they were 5 mins later we were warmly greeted and shown to the table. The food was absolutely first class and two of us who quite regularly eat Thai food agreed this was the best tasting Thai food we had ever tasted. The service and friendliness matched the high standard of the food. I would not hesitate going back for a second - unlike the Indian restaurant further down .... but that is a different story lol

I ate here for my anniversary meal in Sept 09. I paid the bill on my debit card and 1 week later had extra money debited out of my account by this restaurant. When I contacted them to discuss what had happened they advised me that unfortunatly they had under charged me and they had debited the extra amount that I owed them out of my account, without my permission. I was unaware I had been undercharged and paid my bill in good faith, but to discover that someone from the Postillion Restaurant had taken it upon themselves not only to keep hold of my debit card details but to enter them again into their card machine and draw extra money out of my account without my permission I find worrying.

From Jacqui from Oldham,dined here on Sunday 27th September,the food was to die for,the waiter was very plesant and helpful,I wish I could return again soon,five stars from me.

Dined here saturday night the place was packed and the reason for this was the excellent food.we had a fantastic meal and the staff were friendly and attentive. five stars from me

My friend celebrated his birthday last week at this restaurant and foods were yummy and very tasty. Price was also reasonable. Very friendly staff. Definitely will go back there again.

Enjoyed an excellent value weekend at the Wild Boar. The hotel was friendly and comfortable. The price was excellent at £59 per person per night inc a hearty breakfast. This also got me a deal on a great dinner of salmon and steak. Very impressed.

Ate in the brasserie which has a contemporary feel, nice relaxed atmosphere with lovely views of the well kept gardens. The menu however is nearly identical in both the brasserie and restaurant, I enjoyed salted cod, mushroom risotto followed by a delicious sticky toffee pudding, the best thing about the brasserie are the lake & garden views.

In these difficult times of the recession, it was a joy to find somewhere giving real value for money with excellent food. During the month of June, the Brown Horse at Winster has been offering a two course lunch for £7. It was so good my husband have not only been back for lunch twice, but also booked an evening meal there too. Beautiful food, nicely presented and with really good traditional ales, what more could we want? We are fortunate enough to be locals, so we expect to be going there again soon. Do go and try the meals there , made with locally produced food, and don't forget to try the sticky toffee pudding......a real favourite of mine.

My wife and I ate at the White House on Friday 5th June 2009. We are both in our forties and really enjoy a good night out with good company and great food. Without doubt at the White House we weren’t disappointed; we had a fabulous evening! The food and wine was excellent and all at a reasonable price. Please be assured this is not a pub restaurant in our opinion. It’s much more. Janine was our hostess for the night and she and her colleagues looked after us very well. The service is attentive without being on your shoulder every second. Consequently we have no hesitation to recommend this anyone who is in the area.
