Visited on a Tuesday lunch. Typical homely pub as you would expect here. No airs and graces, just good ale and good pub food. Nice roaring fire, reasonable prices, fast service, allows dogs in the bar area. Not much else I can say. Hits the spot for us and would have no hesitation in going back again.

Lovely quirky, Lakeland Pub and Hotel. The public areas are delightful and full of very comfy period furniture. |The food was very very good and the portions are massive. Be careful if you have a starter as you may not finish your main course! Nice friendly staff who provided a good table service.

We have visited several times over the years and one thing keeps us coming back is the great food, cosy and romantic atmosphere. You are seated in the cosy bar area with comfy relaxing chairs for drinks and to browse the menu's and order food. When your food is ready they take you to your table which is nicely spaced away from other guests so you have your privacy.The food is cooked to perfection and a large selection of wines and drinks all reasonably priced.The food is very reasonable, similar to other restaurants in the area but the atmosphere can't be matched especially for a romantic meal. So good we have booked to return again this evening.Dear petersJ8265ZD,Thank you for your lovely review on TripAdvisor. I am delighted that we are able to consistently show you and your partner a cosy and romantic atmosphere in our restaurant. We take great pride in our guest care and attention to detail and it is very rewarding to see that the whole team is providing the service and quality our guests and visitors expect. I look forward to welcoming you back to "Table 22" restaurant in the near future and showing you another relaxing and enjoyable evening.Shane GrayFood and Beverage Manager

A lovely restaurant with outdoor seating in a little sun trap, we thoroughly enjoyed our visits whilst staying in Ambleside recently. The pollock with chorizo mash and seafood sauce was very tasty, as was the fish pie and also the tapas. Staff were friendly and attentive and we would recommend a visit to anyone who enjoys good food.

We were actually stopping in another hotel in the village, but we were walking around and called in here to have our evening meal. The place has recently had new owners. The menu choice was not massive, but something for everyone. The meals we had were gammon, pie, and chicken burger. All meals were very good, and they realised they missed the cheese off the burger, so brought a complete new one out... but we were happy with just a slice of cheese. Desserts very nice also. Nice range of beers, and a lovely friendly service all evening.Hi AlisdairtThank you for your review, we are pleased you enjoyed your experience here. We hope to welcome you back to The Queens Head in the future
4. Outgate Inn

For our rather damp week in The Lake District - but nonetheless thoroughly enjoyable - we took a cottage in Outgate. Opposite, across a small paddock with sheep is The Outgate Inn. After a long drive in heavy rain the line of least resistance was dinner there. A decision well rewarded. Excellent beer and food to match. More 'homely' than 'fine dining' the portions are more than ample with a varied menu plus specials. Such is the size that we did not dip into starters or puddings but going by what we had thwy will be top rate too. Between the two of us over our three evenings we sampled six dishes. Not one disappointed but in particular the Duo of lamb Chops were delisiously succulent and the Beef Hotpot stunningly good.That we went three times speaks words; added to which it was comfortably full each time.Service was swift, friendly and efficient.Loved it!Thank you for the great review and we are glad that you enjoyed your visits with us and we look forward to seeing you again.

We stopped by the Sun for dinner whilst camping in Hawkshead. Very friendly welcome and good selection of real ales. We ate the mushroom risotto and the veg curry, both of which were really tasty. Would happily return next time we visit the area.

I had fish and chips - the fish was cooked extremely well where it just glistened as you cut into it, extremely fresh and well cooked. Hubby liked his food and the real ale was also very good.Its not clear when you go in if you order food at the bar or waitress service and as there was no menu on the table, we didn't even know if there was food available. This could be improved upon but not a big deal.My only criticism is a personal bug bear of mine - I don't like food served on boards/slates or anything else that isn't a plate.
