The Priest Hole

As always a lovely meal in a lovely setting. Food and serive were excellent.

Lovely service. Lovely food. Lovely location with a nice terrace. Definitely recommend.

Great Food and friendly staff prompt service would go again

Great food, huge portions - yummy! Definitely needed to book!

The food was really nice and the staff were super friendly and helpful. It was abit hot in the room, with no air con and not much ventilation but it was a hot day and it’s an old building so it was to be expected. The portion sizes were perfect.

We had a delicious Sunday roast. Two of us had beef and two had lamb. Both meats were delicious and there was a very generous portion of meat. Vegetables, potatoes, Yorkshires and gravy were all delicious too. Very nice ambience and friendly staff as well.

Excellent visit from start to finish... a lot of restaurants can learn from the customer service standards. Food Excellent as always

Had a good meal at the priest hole last night, we did have starter and main both were nice , but struggled to finish as large portions, good service.

Great food and service, love the location. we have already booked to come back the next Time we stay in Ambleside.

Great food, friendly staff would definitely visit again when in the lakes

Overall a great experience so much so we booked again for the following evening.

Gorgeous food (Sunday lunches and a sausage sandwich with fries), great beer and lovely staff, what more could you ask for? Highly recommend The Priest Hole. We came last year too and if anything it's better than we remembered.

Great food and excellent service. A wonderful little place to relax after a day by the lake.

Varied menu. Lovely food and good attentive service. Good information and support for special dietary needs.

Lovely tasty food and excellent service well worth a visit

Great visit to the Priest Hole. Every member of staff who visited our table were excellent. Excellent service and food. Really nice inside. Loved the history of the place which one of the gentleman serving told us about and then gave us a postcard about it!! Just fab- loved it but book ahead! *****

Excellent food as always and the friendliest staff. It’s always a complete pleasure to come back to the Priest Hole and no visit to the Lakes would be complete without it.

As always a good meal with great service, look forward to our next visit

We were looking forward to returning to the Priest Hole as we visit every time we are in the area. The food was as good as ever the atmosphere friendly and service was great, it is sad to know a lot of the regular staff have not made it back to work after Covid but the staff there made the experience just as good as ever. I would heartily recommend the Priest Hole to anyone looking for good value amazing honest food.

Excellent service from both members of staff serving made this experience. Tasty food and wine. High standards of hygiene made us feel very COVID safe.

Service was top class food was amazing very friendly atmosphere 👍💯

Really lovely food and great service, all good. Would return.

Lovely wedding anniversary meal. We enjoy this meal very much.

Fabulous food and really great hospitality, can absolutely say we will definitely eat here again and recommend to others

Visited last year and returned again this year (October 2020) four consecutive evenings, good food, good service. Thank you

Thanks again great meal and service will definitely be back

What a find this place was! Best steak pie ever! Lovely friendly service. We’ll definitely be back when in Ambleside

The service was wonderful and the atmosphere in the restaurant was really nice but what made the visit was the food which was fabulous. I enjoyed the visit so much that I booked a table for the following evening.

Good food and felt very safe eating there as they clean the chairs and tables unlike many places that clean only the tables

Great food and atmosphere and the COVID restrictions were adhered to perfectly

Good service and nice food shame mo draft beer but overall nice place

Excellent Sunday Roast. Friendly service. Felt secure with all the Covid precautions in place.

Tasty food. Speedy service. Warm n pleasant atmosphere. I ate veggie & enjoyed falafel burger after our starter of mixed olives. Too full for pud!

Ordered the pie and the crust was rock hard and the meat on the edge of was dry. It must have kept warm under a lamp and dried out. Shame the meat inside was great quality. 😟☹🥺

Good food, attentive service, good covid procedures. Thank you xx

We were a party of 7 celebrating my 60th two day stay in Ambleside. Service was good but meals awful especially Fish & Chips dread-full☹️ Rubbery Fish Chips woody “sorry I never complained but didn't want too make worse of a very disappointing meal . Would certainly not recommend 🙋‍♀️.

Brilliant as always. Regular stop for us now in the lakes. Great service, great food.

Staff amazing even though restrictions are in place service was excellent and timely nothing too much trouble .

Excellent communication, fabulous staff, lovely food, highly recommended, excellent thank you

Obviously we are in Covid -19 times and eating out is a very different experience to what it use to be. This was our 1st meal out and I thought the staff coped very well with the changes and the food was as good as ever 😃👍
