Thereâs a good range of wholesome food, smoothly served at the Smithy, with good beer to go with it. On a weekday, after missing lunch, we took advantage of the 5pm start of evening meal service and werenât disappointed. By the time we left, the restaurant and pub were both busy. The steak pie was very good, as were the curry and the lambâs liver (which was one of the daily specials). Located in a small village, the Smithy draws a big clientele, so we suggest you go there too.

After reading the recent article in Cumbria Life Magazine we called in for Lunch an what a lovely place inside. The exterior of the building from the main road does not do the Tavern justice. The place has been refurbished to a high standard with quality fixtures and fittings. Lunch of Ham Egg & Chips, Mac & Cheese Salad with Garlic Bread and Cajun Chicken Salad were well presented, delicious and good value for money.Facilities were of a high standard and clean, same applies to the disabled facilities.

Found this place when it first opened with the current owners years ago and loved it.......Love it even more now. Food quality was great, we had the Chicken, avocado and tomato salsa burger with chips - it was perfect... local artisan roll really made it!..... worth every penny. Great to see them doing so well, place goes from strength to strength. The food on other tables looked equally delicious.The owner still very friendly. Loos were immaculate. Highly recommended..... such a shame we live a couple of hundred miles away now or we would be here more often.

Popped in here for a quick cuppa after visiting the Bay Search and Rescue next door. We had been told about this place so I guess my expections were quite high. It wasn't quite what I expected but drinks and service ok but pretty basic inside.Thank you for taking the time to review our cafe. We are about the homemade food cooked on the premises. The hams, beef, lamb pork joint. Huge Yorkshire puddings, homemade creamy mash, steak pies, hotpots, scones, crispy coated chips, not just 9 different teas, 7 coffees, milkshakes, ice cream sundaes, not withstanding amazingly friendly service so we hope next time you are in the area you would maybe try more than a cup of tea, and we look forward to seeing you again

My son visits here frequently with his cycling pals & said it was the best cafe for miles, so thought weâd have a little jaunt there ourselves.The tea room is wonderfully inviting, low ceiling, comfy chairs & cosy atmosphere. I spotted the last, lone cheese scone as I sat down & prayed that no one would get to it first. It must have been my lucky day as I got the prized scone! It had been gently warmed & was served with soft butter, cheese & chutney. My pet hate is cafes that serve dense, cold scones with a packet of rock hard butter. Needless to say this one was light and full of flavour. Husband & son ordered panini, which looked gorgeous & tasted gorgeous too apparently. They were also accompanied by crisps & salad. We all had coffee, which again was delicious. I especially enjoyed the delicate heart-shape biscuit which accompanied the coffee - nice touch. The men couldnât resist a cake & both plumped for carrot cake, which they declared was very tasty. The service was excellent too. A winning combination & a place Iâll definitely return to.

The Ship Inn is located on the B5282 in between Milnthorpe and Arnside, with spectacular views over the Kent estuary. On clear days you can savour the views of the Lake District fells and valleys of the Langdales and Coniston Old Man from the Ship Inn.

Reviewed By Gina A
Never again. Extremely disappointing.Lacklustre service, mistakes on orders and poorly cooked food.1. French fries were ordered instead of the chips, chips arrived. No big deal as was just a preference of guest, so didnât complain.2. Duck breast was poorly cooked. The skin was brown but soft and flabby, the flesh except in the very middle was chewy, dry and hard to cut even with a steak knife. It appeared to have been partially cooked prior to service and warmed through? Donât think it could have been worse if it had been in a microwave.3. A chocolate brownie was ordered with a different flavour ice cream, it was served with the original liquorice ice cream. This was meant to have been a special evening for my guests to say thank you. Not wanting to make a big fuss I went to the bar and quietly spoke to the waitress about the duck, she said she would tell the chef. I returned to the table to find one of my guests struggling to cut his duck, he didnât complain because he was being polite. I then returned to bar with my plate, was offered something else but declined as everyone was halfway through their meal.The manager offered to deduct the duck from the bill and to offer two free desserts. Three desserts were ordered, including cheese and biscuits. One dessert was fine, the cheese and biscuits were really good but the waitress couldnât tell us what the white cheese was and had to ask!!! It was Lancashire (as it said on menu), wanted to know specifically where from, a local farm, a supermarket???? Then found wrong ice cream on chocolate brownie. The mistake had been noticed in kitchen as a waitress rushed in with the correct ice cream just as my guest was about to put a spoonful in her mouth. Fortunately, it was not an allergy issue.Thank you to the manager for the deductions from the bill but the evening was ruined. My guests were upset because they had been told Number 17 was good. I was upset because I wanted to give them a memorable meal. It was but for all the wrong reasons.I do understand mistakes happen. So many in one meal is totally unacceptable. Think staff training should be looked at, only the manager seemed at all interested. Staff need to be briefed on ingredients, customer care etc. Final point if I were the chef I would have personally apologised.

Had this place recommended by a friend who had visited the area and so decided to visit too.Lovely resturant, overlooking the water. Friendly staff and good service. The food is all home produced, with fish dishes being the speciality. Ordered one of the specials, which was hake in a prawn and wine sauce. It came with a selection of fresh veg and new potatoes. It was delicious!Really lovely place and would highly recommend.
