We dined here in October 2019. Everything about this restaurant is absolutely spot-on - the relaxed, warm welcome and similarly relaxed atmosphere are in contrast to the technical quality of the food and the well-balanced service, which was attentive without being in your face. The accompanying wine flight was expensive for what it was, but I'm not going to begrudge that because it's all part of the experience of dining in a remarkable restaurant such as this. Definitely coming again.

An 18th Century Inn full of character, mixing contemporary furnishings with traditional decor, and real log fires.Great outside seating area overlooking the main Square in the village, fantastic for watching the world go by.

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.

A traditional village inn offering award-winning real ales, a good selection of wines and keg beers. The reputation of the food is well known and caters for most tastes.

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!

We had a reasonable meal here. My food was ok although my fellow diners did enjoy their food. My fish and chips were uninspiring and the peas without taste. My fellow diners were much happier with their slow cooked lamb and steak. They would have given the restaurant a 4 rating. Would try again and look to improve on my choice!
