What a great little find! Food was excellent and the service quick and friendly, even brought a bowl of water and a biscuit for the dog.

Cracking little bar, great beer and atmosphere with wide attraction for locals and visitors. Didn't eat but the food looked very good too. Deffo recommends visiting x

Great music, decent beer and fabulous food. We went for the the early bird meal which was very goood value. Portion sizes are generous (we only managed two courses) and very tasty. There are a good range of beers to complement the food. Well worth a walk amongst the lakes.

Staff is friendly. Food is good with large portions but a bit salty for us.

This is the second time we have been to this venue. The last time was before covid.
Friday night after being for a meal elsewhere.
There was just one man, playing guitar and singing.
Did from around 9 to 11.30 pm with a small break
Wasn't that busy, but it was still a good night
Mainly music on at the weekend
Nice bar, service was good too
Real ale too

Really great place this, we stopped for drinks twice and food once during our week in Ambleside. The food was terrific, with the burger truly one of the best I've tasted. 👌
It was perfect after coming off the fells. Kids enjoyed thier portions which I didn't even think they did a kids menu so that was another bonus. Great service as well including making sure we were aware of live music times as we had the kids with us. On top was the beer - had Loweswater Gold each time, check out the picture for how good that was.

Portions were quite large and left us very filled. We were walk ins. Service was great, the server made conversations and told us an intresting facts about local area. Gave us an additional free shot. And left us feeling very happy.
Additionally the music too was great. Overall hugely recomend!

Quite quiet when we arrived at 7.30pm but did get a bit busier later. Has a pub type vibe/feel with quite loud music but food was very nice and much more of restaurant than pub quality. Seem to be starting out with cocktails so not too many options but the one I had - a raspberry and elderflower Collins was large and tasty (£8.50). Service was very good. Food arrived promptly portions were large. The sea bass risotto was delicious and the seafood spaghetti had loads of seafood 👍 All in all a very good experience. Like another reviewer however we also noticed a bit of a problem with lots of flies buzzing about which was quite off putting while trying to eat. Dogs were allowed .

AMAZING FOOD! Perhaps the best profiteroles I have ever tasted! Fairly pricey but the food is absolutely worth it if you're treating yourself. Also highly recommend the Greek mezze starter! Nice decor, friendly staff. A little loud but very nice experience!
