The food was amazing and plentiful (portion sizes were generous!). The staff were great during my meal. The room was clean and equipped with everything necessary. The location is a great hidden gem. I had easy access to areas within the Lake District.
The coffee from the dispensing machine tasted weak.

I had the chicken burger with blue cheese and my husband ordered the burger. We both were very pleased with our selections. The restaurant had a warm, cute atmosphere and the staff made sure we were well taken care of. I highly recommend the pizzas and the Sunday lunch.
