Fantastic range of seafood, cooked fresh to order. Menu changes daily depending on what comes in from the local supplier in Whitby
A fantastic finale to my Birthday Celebrations with one of the finest meals we have ever enjoyed at Hooked Windermere, where we indulged in a seafood extravaganza that was stuffed full of all manner of piscene goodies, including mussels, crab, scampi, calamari, prawns, sardines and lobster. A small 11-table simply-furnished restaurant with a friendly and knowledgeable host, Giuseppe, who made us feel most welcome from the minute we arrived. If youâre ever in Windermere or anywhere close - youâve got to book a table

First built in 1854 as a private country retreat and housing an unmissable 200 year old cedar tree in its grounds. From 3rd November 2019 we are closing our restaurant to non-resident diners. Please do check back in the future as we hope to be back with A
We chose here for our anniversary dinner and we were impressed from start to finish! Lovely venue, service was impeccable, the courses were timed perfectly, the decoration on our table was a nice touch. As my wife is Coeliac it was good to see such a varied Gluten free menu, the food was tasty and the flavour combinations were amazing. Would happily visit again when we're in the area. Thank you for picking Cedar Manor for your special anniversary dinner. We are pleased to be around 90% gluten free throughout this menu and intend to keep it that way as we develop new menus.Look forward to welcoming you back on your next visit to the Lakes.Best wishesCaroline and Jonathan

Had a little time to study the menus outside whilst waiting for friends and there really is a very good choice. You need to look out for the chalk boards as the standard menu and a piece of paper with a few extra dishes is what you're provided with.Had the snails for the second time in England and they were excellent; came with the appropriate equipment and some bread to soak up the garlic butter. Delicious.The Lamb Shank wasn't the biggest but it was cooked well with a few roasted veg.The wine was good, we had a few bottles. The Red was stone cold and they did try to warm it up but that's not easy when you're at the wrong temperature to start with. Looking forward to our next visit.

The food is really lovely here. We have tried many things on the menu and even more cakes from the counter but the Dahl is really brilliant!Served with Naan bread, Mango Chutney and Sour Cream it is perfection in a dish. The only disappointing thing is if you arrive after it has all gone!

Just stopped here on the way back down south, meeting family for breakfast. The full English was excellent; meaty sausages and good bread to tip my beans and egg on top of. Great farm shop next door too which sells a million gins and lots of yummy things. Would definitely stop here again when meeting the Lake District branch of the family.

We were recommended to try the Watermill by friends. They have their own microbrewery on site and the beer they produce is pretty good. The food is average and the service a little disinterested despite going there on a quiet night. The menu is extensive but formulaic and the food had a slightly re-heated feel about it. Decor in the place wasn't helped by an excess of cheap Halloween themed decorations which detracted rather than enhanced the atmosphere (But there again I am no fan of Halloween so might just be me. And my wife!). If looking for a simple pub meal in the area the Eagle and Child in Staveley is way better and more atmospheric.Dear RichardVUK, we're sorry to read that you found our pub to be "average", this is very disappointing. We strive to offer great customer service so we're surprised that you found staff to be "disinterested", if this was the case, then we are truly sorry. 95% of our food is prepared and cooked freshly, some things are reheated as would be expected, such as chilli con carne and curry, which take over 3 hours to slow cook and can't be cooked to order, but the majority should taste fresh and tasty. We're sorry if you weren't satisfied with your meals.With regards to the halloween decorations, this is something we have done for over 20 years. We are a family run and family friendly pub, so we decorate in time for the children's school holidays,and also for the local story telling club which hosts a topical evening once a month. We appreciate these aren't to everyone's taste and this is why we only decorate one section of the pub (the whole of our "Smithy Bar" and the bar area in "The River bar" have no decorations).We do hope that you will visit us again and that your opinion on us being average can be improved.

I tried to book this hotel/pub for the previous night but it was full. My daughter and partner were booked in for two nights and I wanted to join them so booked a local b&b for one night but decided to stay another night, and now a room was available. I would normally stay in remote village pubs in the central or northern fells so the south Lakes near the fleshpots of Windermere was not what I would have chosen. When I first walked in just after lunch service I declared it my âvision of south Lakeland corporate tourist hell!â It was full of diners, smelled of food and was very busy. I was wrong and glad to admit it. I went back a while later to find delightful staff, a fabulous selection of doggy-themed beers brewed on the premises, and a comfortable lounge with a wood stove. I booked for the next night and the staff joined in my ruse to keep it a secret from my daughter. My allocated room was up two flights in the attic but that is good for my spaniel and my daughter was in the only other room on that landing so there were no outside movements to upscuttle the dog. The room was relatively small with a double and a single bed, but a good rate for a family room with a dog in a busy tourist area. The room is very modern but quirky. The bathroom is small but modern, the room was spotless. A very comfy double bed with plenty of storage. The telly was a reasonable size and had an adjustable mounting. However, I cracked my head five times on the beam on the side of the room as did my daughter, and her partner in theirs! I still have the lump days later. On first lifting the loo seat it came off in my hand and I had to fix it. On checkout when I reported it the staff discussed it and she saidâ oh yes, itâs always breaking! â Well fix it then! The double glazing doesnât quite keep out the noise of the busy trunk road but that wouldnât bother guests from urban areas. It did me a bit. The pub is large with viewing windows to the brewery. There are stoves in both main bars but we had to ask for the one in the bar we were eating in to be lit because it was cold, supported by other guests. The answer was it smoked a lot when first lit. Then light it earlier then! There is adequate WiFi throughout. There is a good âpub grubâ menu served quickly and with a smile, as is the beer. The food was, erm, pub grub. It is extremely dog friendly with the bar server giving treats to the dogs and there is a very quiet lane nearby to walk them. The location wouldnât be to my choice; itâs just off a busy trunk road but only a couple of miles from Windermere, and there are bus services if one wanted to use that to get back from the fleshpots in an evening. Itâs ideally situated for the south lakes and all its mass tourism fleshpots, but for me it was only 15 minutes to Ambleside and more importantly only 25 minutes to the real Valhalla of Great Langdale. My daughter, who has worked in the luxury hotel industry for 20 years, (now as a senior manager) declared herself delighted with this venue and that is praise indeed. I enjoyed my stay although the location and style wouldnât be to my usual taste. The staff deserve particular praise as does the beer. Give it a try. Dear Sir, I remember you staying with us and recall your kind comments at the time of your visit. Many thanks for also following up on this with your great review. I'm pleased you quickly changed your opinion of our Inn, we try our hardest to appeal to a broad range of clientele and we feel we have many unique selling points which make us stand out from your average Lake District tourist trap. I've fed your comments back to the staff and the owners about the service you received, and our brewer is thrilled you enjoyed the beer.We're pleased to read that your daughter and partner enjoyed their stay and we all hope to welcome yourself and them back in the future.

The issue with the Eagle is that is the only pub in the village after the Hawkshead beer hall closes at 7pm. Now I am 6ft 1inch tall and am a polite chap but when a member of bar staff totally ignores you because a local walks in makes ,y blood boil. Another member of staff spilled used cutlery all over the table and onto me without even acknowledging that she had done it, then expected me to pick up the utensils from under the table.....shockingly bad service, food ok,beer average but very expensive!

The Restaurant at Rothay Manor has a long standing reputation for excellent food and wine. With 3 AA rosettes we offer modern fine dining cuisine served with flair and imagination. Our candlelight restaurant is open for Dinner everyday offering a 2 and 3
Excellent food in a lovely old building with nice grounds. Plenty of dining options, from a la carte, vegetarian to different tasting menus. The service was friendly and enthusiastic but not quite on the ball and we waited quite a long time between courses but it was a busy saturday evening. Overall I can highly recommend and will definitely return
