Great place, lovely food and lovely staff. Our toddler even cleared his plate. Went back for a second meal but it was too hot and no outside seating left. Shame as we really enjoyed it.
This pub is an absolute gem. Not only are the staff wonderful, but the food is fantastic. The cherry on the top is their policy on dogs. I don't go anywhere without my dog so to have a fab pub where my dog can join me makes me very happy. I'll be back time and time again! Other pubs in Ambleside... this is how it's done!!
Popped into this pub with Ric " The Hat" McTwitty. Drinks only for us but lots of people eating so cannot comment on this other than cheaper than the Ambleside Inn opposite. A good selection of 5 real ales if you ignore Sharp's Doom Bar. The Dark Star ran out so had St Austell Proper Job Pale Ale. Very good. Beer patio to front but no space on a sunny May Friday. Pleasant and spacious interior. Pint and a half of Madri £7.95.
We all enjoyed our meals although there were a few issues. There was some confusion when the server misread the order and brought a child's portion. This was quickly resolved. One of our party mentioned that the parsnips were a little chewy. I didn't have parsnips but would've probably enjoyed them anyway. The deserts were excellent. Staff were friendly. Good value.
Quite easy to order using the app. (Details at the tables). Service was a little slow but acceptable, food was ok. Average 'pub grub'.
First time to Ambleside and chose The White Lion for a Sunday lunch and OMG! Did we choose well, the rib of beef was amazing. Fully recommend! Literally fell off the bone! The staff were so welcoming and we enjoyed our experience so thank you so much!
Stayed the night was super comfy and right bang in the middle of Ambleside which was great for us. Didn't eat there evening time but had our breakfast there and it was delicious and set us up for the day. Looking forward to coming again that's for sure. All team were super friendly and nothing was too much trouble
Jess was wonderful. We had a lot of dietary requirements and made sure we could order what we wanted. She was so attentive and made our experience here amazing. All other staff we interacted with were also lovely. Definitely worth a visit at the end of a long wet walk.
Had a fantastic stay, we're made to feel so welcome. Jess, Gabby, Steve & all other staff were super friendly & helpful, nothing was too much trouble. Breakfasts were great, would highly recommend a stay there.
Great service and decent homely food. Served by Steve and team, very welcoming. Chef gabby was in the kitchen and team, great food. Had the mixed grill and kids had burger and pizza. Liked the fact you could ask for low carb options which was a bonus
Stayed for a night, perfect location for Ambleside town centre. Staff were very welcoming and attentive to our needs. Rooms for lovely, clean and spacious. Good pub food and breakfast was also lovely. Would recommend and will be back again.
3 star atmosphere because we were the only ones in there to start with. Popped in a touch early for lunch bur the staff were all lovely and the food was definitely worth the wait. Will most definitely be coming back on our next trip up there so keep it up
