Our first time at this restaurant and what an amazing experience it was. The food was outstanding and the service by Keith was absolutely fantastic. Would thoroughly recommend this place and we will certainly be back. An absolute gem of a place.

Regular diner.food amazing as always. For some reason on this occasion , we sat waiting half an hour as did another table for someone to take our order. I had to ask in the end. Other than that the lady who stepped in provided great service and the food was delicious

Lovely spot to eat, in a pretty Lakes village. Very welcoming staff, menu great value for money. Starters were particularly tasty and interesting. The Sunday roasts were colossal - perhaps too large as much was left on our plates. Interior was traditional without being dark/oppressive and the toilets were modern and fresh looking. Thank you to the whole team.

Took our order. Hadn’t finished the starters when the mains arrived. Mash cold. Roast potatoes had been there all day and rock hard- beef was over - chicken was starting to go dry . Staff could see there was an issue with the food avoided coming over. Kitchen staff appeared keen to get finished and then drank at the bar when finished - and talked loudly about “what do you expect when you order food at 8.30” (we arrived and orders at 7.30 but why time has a factor in what food quality is served is beyond me). Have been staying at that pub/hotel for more than 10 years. Won’t be back.

Food was good, though meal experience spoiled by being seated at a very dark, small table squished beside the bar. Told on arrival that it was the only one available at the time of booking but would have been good to have known this beforehand as may have gone on another day. Service is certainly not the warm Cumbrian welcome which is promised ( and I have visited before with same experience). Yes, they are busy, but a smile would have been nice!

We had a lovely Sunday roast dinner in the evening. Some of the menu options were not available but there were still plenty of choices. Delicious food and friendly relaxed atmosphere. Thank you for a wonderful evening.
