Service was spot on. Friendly but not hovering, just the right amount of attention. Felt genuinely welcome as soon as we sat down. Made the whole thing relaxed.

Been coming here for years. The biryani is always spot on - fragrant rice, tender meat, the whole deal. It&#39;s the one thing I know I can count on every single time. Never lets me down.

The pepperoni and garlic chicken slices are pretty good. They&#39;re a solid choice for a quick lunch, honestly better than some pizzas I&#39;ve had at proper restaurants. Decent value for the price.

First time trying shatkora lamb here, and it was spot on. The meat was so tender and fell right off the bone. Really enjoyed that unique, slightly bitter citrus flavour from the shatkora. A proper taste of something different.

Been coming here for years, and Nina always remembers my usual order. That kind of consistent, friendly service is what keeps me coming back.

The lamb shank was the standout. Cooked for hours, it fell apart with just a fork. The red wine sauce was rich and deep, not too sweet. Portion was generous. Could have used a bit more seasoning on the meat itself, but the sauce covered it.

Great for a big group. The staff were really on it, and they sorted a gluten-free request easily. The wine list had some nice options to go with the hearty food.

Arts Bar. Cosy with the fire going. Happy hour cocktails were a treat. Sat on the terrace, view of Bowness was lovely. Staff friendly. Solid spot.

Came by for a quick lunch. The haddock was fried just right, batter was light and not oily. Chips were crispy and the portion was decent. Hit the spot.

The carbonara had a lovely, rich flavour. I was pleased to see they used a good quality pancetta and the egg yolk was perfectly fresh. My partner really enjoyed it. The portion was just right for us.

The curry was so good, spicy and tasty. Would definitely go again if we&#39;re back in Ambleside.

The refillable drinks are a lifesaver for a long catch-up with friends. The cookie s&#39;mores were a great sweet finish too.

Stayed for a couple of nights. The room was clean and comfortable. The lounge area attached to it was a nice surprise, quite spacious. It was fine for a short stay, though the decor felt a bit dated.

The scallops were the star for me - seared just right, with a lovely little herb crust. The Tuesday tapas menu is a solid deal, portions are generous. My cocktail was nice too, a cherry amaretto thing.

Portions are huge for what you pay, pretty standard around here. Got the steak and chips, couldn&#39;t finish it all. Good value, no question.

Nice, cosy pub after a long hike. The steak and ale pie was the highlight for me &ndash; proper flaky pastry and the beef was really tender. The mash was creamy too. Staff were lovely and quick. Just what we needed.

Been coming here for years. The food&#39;s always spot on - simple, but they get the flavours right. It&#39;s just a proper, no-fuss local pub.

Service was prompt and attentive. The prawn starter was decent but portion felt a bit small for the price. Mains were generous and well-prepared. Efficient for a business lunch.

Got a table last minute on a busy Saturday, which was appreciated. Staff were efficient and polite. The ribeye was cooked as requested, tender and flavourful. A solid, reliable option for a business dinner in the area.

The chefs chatting while they cook is a nice touch. You learn a bit about where the local ingredients come from. It makes the meal feel a bit more personal, which is a good way to add value beyond just the plate.

The place is spotless and really accessible. My friend in a wheelchair had no trouble getting around, which was nice.

A reliable spot for Indian food. The chicken curries are pretty good, with nice big pieces of meat.

I always get the beef chow mein here. The vegetables are crisp and fresh, which I really appreciate. The homemade onion rings are a nice treat, too, though they can be a bit greasy sometimes. It&#39;s my go-to for a reliable meal.

The Buddha bowl was lovely, especially the warm falafel and coronation sauce. The homemade cakes looked tempting too. My only small note is that the chairs are a bit hard for a longer sit.

Secure parking right off the motorway. Easy for a quick stop.
