"We dined here on the last night of our Honeymoon in the Lakes. Unfortunately there was a party, who were old enough to know better, who were loud, abusive towards the staff and demanding their money back. The waitress looked about 18 and was left...in tears by this party, but this didn't stop her from being incredibly attentive to our needs and moving us to a private area away from the disruption. She even offered dinner by candlelight when she found out we were on Honeymoon! Firstly, there are prices on the menu and, secondly, we paid after out meal. My husband had the ribs which were melt in the mouth and the chicken was cooked to perfection. I had the Hake which was incredible- creamy and delicious. We did have to wait a little while for our food, but I've waited longer and the staff were obviously had a difficult night. I do wonder if our experience of the staff had something to do with how well behaved we were as patrons. It goes to show, if you're good to the waiting staff, they'll look after you."

"very nice welcome and eating was nice but they were prepared for very high prices! a side of a very small bowl of houmus £4.80! £70 bill for two of us for a sharing plate and a few drinks. overall we had a nice evening, but highly recommended to adjust the prices at more reasonable levels."

"Sunday Lunch at the Ilex had been recommended and we accepted a 1:30 booking as it was full for 1:00 starts. The ambiance is very pleasant and the service too. Prawn cocktail looked good with salad from the Hall garden, but the prawns were bland. Roast beef from lauded local butcher Higginsons looked good too, on top of a pile of vegetables and with Yorkshire pudding beside. The meat was more than a challenge for our teeth and even for the serrated knives, beans less than al dente and Yorkshires chewy too. A lot of our food went back, and we accepted the offer to charge us for one main course rather than two. Would the sticky toffee pudding lift the ending? No, not really as it was on the dry side, and the sauce couldn’t lift it enough. When Sunday Lunch is so competitive, the Ilex needs to live up to the standards of the delightful Holker Hall that hosts it."

"Staff were very friendly, welcoming and efficient. They were also very kind to our dog. We had drinks and food and though the drinks were good, the food was not. The words 'frozen ' and 'microwave ' were forefront in my mind throughout. The mash potato I had with my pie was face meltingly hot suggesting the microwave was used, and my wife 's battered fish was mushy and watery suggesting it was deep fried from frozen. The batter was also only about 1mm thick and was like wise mushy. The meat in my chunky steak pie was definatly chunky but was a little too firm (not tough, just not tender. Probably the wrong cut of meat rather than badly cooked). I then had the caramel apple pie as did another member of my party. While his was hot, mine was cold. I had mine with cream which when it arrived, had bubbles in and was luke warm. What I think happened was that mine was microwaved first and then drowned in cream and left to sit while the other was microwaved. This mean mine cooled in the cream while the cream warmed. It also meant that the pastry on the bottom went soggy, and from the rest of the pastry, it didn 't seem like it had much crisp to begin with. Now I know that times are hard and pubs like this can 't be expected to make everything from scratch, but there are 3 other pubs close by and unfortunately this one is doing nothing to stand out from the others, in terms of food anyway. Overall, a nice place for a quiet drink, but I 'll not be back for the food. The only saving grace was the price; £80 for 2 rounds of drinks (1 pint, 1 coke and 2 halves per round), 4 mains and 2 desserts...I suppose you get that you pay for though..."
