The Priest Hole

Staff had face coverings, and social distance was in place , excellent food would highly recommend

Wasn’t sure what to expect with the current situation and guidelines but we got our table on time. Really enjoyed our food. It’s clear the staff are doing everything they can in somewhat bizarre circumstances. We’re heading back to Ambleside next month and will be looking to book in again.

Excellent food, a great atmosphere and fantastic service, all in very challenging times. Just as good as ever, and nothing too much trouble! Thanks to all.

Fantastic food. Lovely atmosphere considering the circumstances. Staff worked really hard in difficult conditions. Will be back as Arnie says.

Lovely food, staff were great. We have been many times before when visiting the Lakes from Scotland and it never disappoints. Thank you 😘

Excellent steak cooked perfectly and fab fresh yeg , with an obvious smile under the mask , great service Thanks . Julie( Ambleside )

Booked for Sunday lunch, unfortunately there was no vegetarian roast option but I had the falafel burger which was nice and my daughter had the roast lamb and said it was good

Great, prompt service, sorting out a fussy child with a cheery smile. Decent wine too! Thank you Priest Hole :)

Food was lovely and service was great - would recommend

Food and service was absolutely amazing!!! Relaxed, professional, attentive staff catered to our every need. We cannot recommend the Priest Hole highly enough - merits 5 stars plus.

Great food, great friendly service and keen pricing. Highly recommend.

This was our first meal out post lockdown (not our first time dining at The Priest Hole though) and we couldn't have asked for any more. The food was outstanding and the staff were amazing even when dealing with all the new challenges of social distancing and wearing face masks, they took everything in their stride and Tracey who looked after us was just lovely. We will definitely be back soon and would recommend the restaurant highly to anyone staying in the area xx

The meal was one of the best I've had The staff were all very friendly and helpful .We all have to make some changes since coronavirus but if places like this stay open then the future will be a little brighter.

Lovely food. Fabulous atmosphere. Friendly staff. Great experience. Would recommend

We went for the steak night and whilst the choice was reduced we still found what we wanted. The tables were well spaced and we felt safe the whole time The steaks were fantastic and we still found room for deserts which were also very good and a good side. The service was excellent and our waitress made us feel most welcome. Overall a great evening and we will be going back again
