"This review is strictly on the afternoon tea experience only. The food was absolutely wonderful, the lady who served food and the male staff (presumed the owner) were both very kind and friendly. I felt that the afternoon tea was an absolute treat since there was nothing to fault with, that was only until it was ruined by the rude woman who was driving past in black 4x4 (presumed female host). After we finished the afternoon tea, I decided to let my dog out from our car to let him stretch his legs before we set off, the rude woman mentioned above asked me if I was looking for a public footpath so I answered no. She then started to lecture me about the ‘no dog policy’ in the property as well as pointing a direction to the public footpath I did not ask. She drove further towards the car park and parked there, got out of her, and started to tell me off in the most rude way possible again. I explained that we just had an afternoon tea here and we’re about to leave. She then turned around started to take stuff out of her boot mumbling loud “stupid..blah blah” in the angry tone, which by the way was clear for me to hear even though I was at least a few feet away from her. I was so bewildered and frustrated at how this perfectly lovely experience went down the hill like this si quickly. Hence I took two stars off even though I did enjoy the food here. Whoever that woman was, please make sure that they cannot behave that way to a guest."

"We are non residents of the hotel and have visited this restaurant a few times and have never been disappointed. The food is the main feature here and service/staff are professional. The wine list is quite small but adequate, and the view as the sun sets across Windermere from the terrace can be stunning. The only issue I had on my last visit were the hotel guests in the restaurant. Now i realise that they have to eat in the hotel either as part of their package or if they simply choose to, BUT please have some general dress code in place. As we believe at £40 per head plus drinks the restaurant owes it to itself, the chef, and team to put this in place. I'm not talking dinner suits here, but after making an effort as a family, sat next to couples with sweaty dirty vest tops, trunks and flip flops is not keeping with the brand. They should either eat on the terrace or in the bar area or take room service. You simply cannot promote this restaurant at the price point without a smart /casual dress code that some of the Lakes Pubs/B Bs have! I've got to say that as much as I like the food of Lukasz Zebryk its what is happening out front that is killing his brand. Its a shame that I may be re-visting some of your competition on our next important anniversary/occasion, but please look into the comments above as you deserve to be up there with the best."

"We were sure to book ahead for a table of 4 for 5.15 as it was a late Sunday roast we were fully aware that not everything would be available so it was no surprise when we were told that there was only gammon left for the roast option however there was still fish and chips homemade steak pie or vegetable lasagne. We happily opted for 3 gammon roast dinners and a homemade steak pie with mash (you get the choice of which potato you'd like) The food arrived piping hot with plenty of everything and it was so so tasty you could really tell everything was lovingly made from scratch for the roast the potatoes came both roasted and mashed with cauliflower, broccoli and carrot and swede mash. A generous helping of gammon and a large Yorkshire pudding with gravy that was clearly made with the juices as it was so flavourful. The steak pie was brilliant too homemade with large chunks of steak and a choice of potato and whether you'd like the same veg as that with the roast or with peas. This also came with gravy. For dessert there was a choice of either chocolate fudge cake, caramel apple pie or sticky toffee pudding and you had the choice of either cream, ice cream or custard. 2 of us got it with custard and 2 of us got it with ice cream and it wasn't overbearingly sweet it was perfect with a delicious caramel top! We all thoroughly enjoyed all the food and the drinks and service and will be back again one day if we find ourselves holidaying here again"
