When you see something on the menu described as whale and chips, the offering is often a bit of a let down. However, whilst not of leviathan proportions the fish overhung the large plate on both sides and would have put up one hell of a fight if caught on a line. The batter was crispy and the chips were decent. Can't speak for the rest of the menu which looked like typical pub grub but the fish had us hooked.

We ate here with friends during a really busy week for the pub. They happily fitted us in even though we booked late. The service was impeccable. Polite and attentive but not too fussy. The food was outstanding. We only live locally and will definitely be back again. Can highly recommend a visit!

I have been here many times during Cartmel bank holiday race weekend. Food hasnât always been great as it is so busy. I was pleasantly surprised on this occasion as the food was excellent. Iâm told they have a new chef and although I didnât see him cook I saw him throw out two middle aged drugged up race goers who were rowing about who had taken the lions share of the coke. Very professional and should be complemented by the management both for his cooking and the way he dealt with the incident.

Came here for Sunday lunch while staying at the nearby caravan park and it did not disappoint. My wife and I had the carvery while my 2 and a half year old had the childrenâs roast. Your meat, Yorkshire and roast potatoes are served to you and you help yourself to the veg. There was such a range it was difficult not to have eyes bigger than your belly! It was all perfectly cooked and we demolished it all! The desserts were delicious too! It was busy and no wonder so book or get there early! You wonât be disappointed!

We visited for a birthday celebration on Sunday a party of 9 and a highchair. The table was very cramped and we where practically sat on each other (was not a table for this many people) and no room for a highchair. Service was drinks was good from the waitress. The waiter was swapping our menus around on the table... not sure why. The food arrived quiet promptly and all 3 course where very nice. Had to wait along time for the bill and a further 20 mins to pay...Dear Megan, We are glad to hear that you enjoyed all 3 of your courses while dining at our restaurant. Unfortunately due to the small nature of our pub we are not always able to offer the most expansive eating areas. However, had you let us know on the day that you felt uncomfortable we would have attempted to accommodate you more fully. Best wishes, Tim and Emma

Been visiting family over the weekend and as a couple called around 7.30pm for dinner. We hadnât booked but weâre quickly shown to a table. Good choice of menu and service was excellent. Food was delicious and reasonably priced. We enjoyed it so much we went again the next day with our son and 2 children. Very busy but we managed to get a table.Definitely recommend this place and good parking on the car park.

Stayed in this old coaching Inn, in the Village Of Cartmel, Cumbria. What to say? There is only a limited amount to offer re rooms and other facilities. Certainly won't suit everyone. Low beams, small windows and dull decor. But, service excellent. Great value breakfast (beans especially good). Sunday lunch: as good as any other enjoyed anywhere else. An aside, the phone seemed to constantly ring re bookings for this Inn - for races, short breaks, and just to experience the Village. What came first? The Village. The Especially popular L'Enclume Restaurant - with all its additions? Will be returning to check this out in the future.
