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.
Janice Williams
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

My partner and I had the best experience. We only had drinks on two evenings but found the staff to be absolutely lovely. Special shout outs to Grace, Hayden and Nick. All super friendly and polite, engaged in conversations and made us feel so incredibly welcome. We’ll most definitely be back when we return to the lakes.
Eve Wheat
Went for an early lunch and the staff allowed us to order from the main menu. Food was nice and our dogs were welcomed. Pudding was the best bit.
Kh Wan
Nice pub ambience. Placed our order at table through the internet menu by scanning a QR code. So cool!!!
Food was good. Service was prompt. Prices are reasonable. Had a happy dinner.
Angela Congdon
Lovely hospitable service. Very welcoming!
Meals were nice! Beef bourginone was a bit of a surprise as it was a piece of beef not a stew type meal.
Would have liked more offers of drink service. drinks.
Desserts were fantastic

We had the 3 course Sunday Lunch, it was superb honest freshly prepared pub grub. Excellently cooked meat especially the beef and plenty of it. We would come again.
Beth Amy
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.
Rosie Fearnhead
Third time back in past few weeks. Never eaten just drank before this visit. Basic pub Sunday lunch. We had the three meat choice (chicken, Beef and pork) They had run out of chicken so I asked for extra pork. Defiantly filled a hole after being out on the lake all day. Would defiantly go back.

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!!
Mark Wilson
Eating establishment should not allow wet smelly dogs in there pub while serving food.
Top marks for people with food allergies tho a booklet with everything listed. Personally my food was over cooked but I was that hungry I could not have cared with the smell of dog as well could not wait to get out of there.
Janis Cutler

Janis and John
Keith Anderson
Excellent Family room for my wife, grandson and I. The staff were very friendly and the bar area very busy on a hectic Sunday night. We had dinner in the bar area and we all thoroughly enjoyed the meal, we also had a full english breakfast which was superb. Being able to park on the site is an added bonus in busy Ambleside.We shall definitely return to the White Lion.
Steven Stringman
Good clean English pub. Great tasting food. Great service from nice friendly staff. Food offers were amazing. Highly recommend you visit.
Jacquie Thompson
Went Sunday 8/10 very disappointed with the food would not eat again here, £9.99 for classic chicken burger n chips, I've had better from Burger King it was like rubber n the chips old n cold even the teaspoon of slaw looked like it had been stood on a table all day , I ate a bit but left most of it , me n my partner spent £30 and feel we just wasted our hard earned cash.
Asmira McEwan
Amazing pub lunch! Had the half roast chicken and it was lovely. Chicken was fresh and the coleslaw was nice - seemed like it was home made. Portion size was good! Was full after the meal. Unfortunately I was too full to have a dessert. Maybe next time when we visit the Lake District 😊
Sharlene Biksas-Hassall
Horrendous food! Was there at the weekend for lunch. Had a jacket potatoe!, The jacket had just been microwave not put in the oven and the size of it was more for a child's dinner! My husband and Daughter lunch was horrendous too. Would never eat here again.

Have been here several times never had an issue with the food before. But my lasagne was a bit burnt so not the nicest. Staff we friendly though.
Chris Walters
The staff were very friendly and couldn’t do enough for you. The food was excellent too. Will definitely go back next time I’m in Ambleside.
Chris Townsend
Came here with my wife and the food was really good, there was a small mistake as my mash arrived cold. I spoke to a member of staff named Nathan who made me feel like I mattered and went totally out his way to rectify this very quickly even tho the pub was very busy. He was very apologetic and offered me a free dessert for the inconvenience. Thank you Nathan you have great customer service I left a very happy satisfied customer and will return again on my next visit to the area �
