Me and my partner visit grasmere every year and we always visit restaurants in the nearby area. No where has left such an impression on us, though. The interior (and exterior) is very quirky and homely - which is the vibe I absolutely love when dining; as it creates a comforting atmosphere. The waitress, Linda, kept making us laugh and was overall extremely friendly and attentive. I had the cheesy pasta special, and my partner had the stir fried king prawns with sweet chilli, which we both loved! My partner kept commenting on how “perfectly cooked” the prawns were and “fresh” they tasted. He comes from a culture where food is very important so it’s lovely to have seen him enjoy every last bite of his meal! Massive thanks to Clarke, the chef, for two lovely meals!! We came here pretty late but did not feel rushed at all. Massive thank you again to Linda and Clarke! We will absolutely be back on our next yearly visit and we are looking forward to it already! X
The interior is quirky and different, if you like quirky you will love it here.
Delicious food, for starters we had the soup of the day and the battered camembert. Mains was the sea bass and the beef stroganoff. All fantastic.
The staff were lovely. At the end of the evening the chef came out and we all had a good natter, he's very passionate about his ingredients and cooking and it showed in the meal.
Will definitely return.
Was slightly wary of eating here because of some of the reviews and the fact that it was empty when we arrived. Our fears were groundless. The food was freshly cooked to order and was delicious. We had a chicken and chorizo skillet, and the sea bass which was a special of the day. Excellent food in a simple, unassuming setting with great, friendly service. Don't believe the negative reviews, they're not related to the experience we had.
