Quick breakfast with friends, and the staff were really friendly. Food was tasty and the portions are generous, so we left happy!

The service was spot on. Staff were friendly and professional, but what stood out was the sommelier&#39;s advice on a wine pairing for our main course. It just clicked. Made the whole evening. A bit on the pricey side for the bottle, but worth it for the experience.

The game pie is the reason I come back. The crust is flaky, the filling is rich with venison and rabbit, not dry at all. It&#39;s a proper, hearty portion. The burger is decent, but the pie is what they do best.

Lunch was a solid 7/10. The warm bread was a lovely touch, and the beef fillet was cooked just right &ndash; really tasty. The pork loin was a bit plain for my taste, but I&#39;d come back for that beef any day.

Always book ahead! It was packed when we got there, and we only just squeezed in. Had to eat a bit quickly as they needed the table back. Still, a fun spot for a catch-up with mates.

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.

Been coming here for years. The food&rsquo;s always solid, and I like that you can tell them how spicy you want it. Portions are decent for the money. It&rsquo;s a quiet spot, good for a relaxed dinner.

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.

Food came out quick and tasted good. Had the pasta and a couple of small plates, decent variety and prices were fair. Solid spot for a casual bite.

The pesto gnocchi was really nice, and I enjoyed a couple of decent cocktails at the bar. Service was attentive and professional, which made dining alone quite pleasant. A solid spot for a solo meal.

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 grilled fish was spot on, and the wine list had some nice options. Staff were really good at checking in without hovering, which was perfect for catching up with friends. Made for a relaxed evening.

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

Bottomless brunch was solid. The staff kept the drinks topped up without asking, which was perfect. Menu looks great, will be back to try more.

Tried the tasting menu. Interesting flavours, not your usual fare. Service was prompt and efficient. The decor is quirky, they&#39;ve kept some of the original features. A solid choice for a business lunch in the area.

Been coming here for years. The fried chicken and chorizo tostada are always spot on. You can taste the fresh ingredients, it&#39;s clear they don&#39;t cut corners. That&#39;s why I keep coming back.

The decor here is so inviting, really cosy. Staff handled our big group without a fuss, still found time for a quick chat. Felt relaxed the whole time.

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.

Cash only, but there&#39;s a cash point just round the corner. The free parking nearby is handy, though you&#39;ll need a parking disc. The wine list had some decent local options that paired nicely with the simple, hearty food.

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.

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.

Popped in for a coffee and cake deal during a Lake District walk. The cafe had these lovely big windows, so you could just sit and watch the world go by with your drink. Really nice spot to take a break.

The upstairs dining area is huge! They have a nice wine list that paired well with the spicy dishes. A solid spot in Kendal.
