This was the best lunch we had in the Lake District. It was family friendly. The building was very cool. Everyone enjoyed their meal. My daughter wanted to go back again for the kids chicken. The meat pie was outstanding!

We’ve been to Ambleside twice but have managed to dine at The Priest Hole 4 times - it really is that good! This is a notch above your average gastropub. High quality, changing menu that delivers every time. As you’d expect, the food is accompanied with an extensive drinks menu. The service is truly excellent here with the front of house being extremely warm and knowledgeable about the menu. The ultimate cosy location to refuel after a long day walking - will be visiting again when next in Ambleside.

A really great discovery. We have had the best lamb shank ever. The other dishes were also delicious. The food here is really good and authentic. Kitchen and the service, which is super, attentive and fast, respond to special requests in an uncomplicated manner. Gluten-free is also no problem for most dishes. This restaurant is highly recommendable.

Glad we booked as it filled up quickly at 17:00. Roast Beef and Lamb Sunday Dinners with sticky toffee pudding for afters. Washed down with a bottle of Rosé and some local beers for me. Top notch food, drinks and service. Bare in mind the tables need to be vacated after a set time at busy periods but two & 1/2 hours is ample time.

A great meal with substantial portions. I had their steak and ale pie and I must say it was one of the best pies I have had in a restaurant. A proper pie with pastry all round and baked in a tray, school dinner style. Really very good! Chips and vegetables weren't half bad either! Too full for a pudding, but they did look great as well. Another year, another steak pie! Still not managed to finish it

The staff squeezed us in for an early dinner. They were fully booked later. We were well taken care of on the outside patio. My fish pie with a gratin crumb topping was excellent. I should not have had the sticky pudding but it was soooo good. We'll have to start sharing desserts my walking is not making up for my eating.

Stayed in Ambleside for the week and had my favourite meal here. Highly recommended but book if you are making a special trip as it gets really busy. I had a tasty red Thai curry with chicken and my partner had the steak, both were gorgeous as was the atmosphere and staff. Go, you won't be disappointed!!
