The fish platter was generous and fresh, went perfectly with the viognier/grenache we ordered. The espresso was a bit weak for my taste, but that&#39;s a small thing. Really liked the buzz in the room.

Popped in for a quick bite. Got the spiced potato wedges - they were incredible, honestly. Sticky toffee pudding was a solid finish. Menu&#39;s veggie/vegan friendly which is handy. Quick service, got me in and out.

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.

Stopped in after a Sunday walk. Feels like a proper local pub, not a tourist trap. The portions were huge for the price! My fish and chips was a proper plateful.

The Sunday roast is a decent one. The Yorkshire puddings were good, properly risen and not too doughy. Veg were cooked right, not mushy. It&#39;s a reliable classic.

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.

A decent fish and chips spot for a quick takeaway. The haddock was cooked fresh and the chips were pretty good. Service was efficient. It&#39;s a reliable option in the neighbourhood, though the seating area is a bit basic.

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.

Had the chicken and chorizo pasta, it was so good! My partner loved his sausage too. The best part was the big plates - we all got to share a bit of everything while we chatted. Perfect for a catch-up with friends.

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.

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.

Popped in for lunch with friends last week. We all got the salmon special with prawns and veg - the creamy sauce was spot on. Good for sharing a few plates and a catch-up. Might be back when I&#39;m next in Bowness.

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.

Loved the lamb skewers! The patatas bravas are honestly the best I&#39;ve had. The cosy, Sicilian vibe is just right for a relaxed catch-up with friends. We ended up staying for ages.

The Massaman curry was so comforting, rich and creamy with tender chunks of beef. The green curry had a lovely, fragrant kick to it. Both were spot on. The staff were really sweet and attentive, even on a packed Friday night.

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.
