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 often stay in Ambleside but had meant to eat at this restaurant/bar/ hotel sooner. We were not disappointed. The decor is modern but traditional with a good buzz coming from the busy bar and restaurant. Food is freshly prepared and delicious. Service is smart and friendly. We enjoyed the tempura broccoli and mushrooms, lamb rump and hotpot, Chana Masala, plum frangipane and coffee with petit fours. Will certainly be returning

Went for a few drinks and a meal. Service was quick. The place is set in time, very traditional. Very Beatrix Potter. We had a starter between us and also ordered a garlic bread to go with our slow roasted lamb shoulder main.It was delicious but a huge portion with mash potatoes and vegetables.

We were in Hawkshead all day for an evening concert in the church so we actually had three visits to the Kings Arms during the day. First up was our arrival in the village, meeting up with family and enjoying some lunchtime refreshment. Excellent food if a little on the top side for price (but this is the Lake District).Good selection of local beer.After an afternoon walk we enjoyed a pre-concert snack. Again excellent. Good sized portions.Then finally after our concert we enjhoyed a relfective drink.If visiting Hawkshead again we would head straight for the Kings Arms

arrived a little early at the Red Lion soaking wet because of the storms but they wouldn't let us into our rooms until 3pm, bit bad we thought. We had a drink while waiting and noticed that the wrong meals kept coming out for other guests this happened four times while we sat there. Next morning at breakfast they got our order wrong and we had to reorder the lady blamed the kitchen staff, they forgot my Wife's breakfast and she had to wait nearly an hour to be served very poor indeed. the evening menu was very limited with not a lot of choice for meals. The rest of our stay was ok with a nice room and a huge tele, the bed was fine but the en-suite was tiny and we only managed to use it once. All in all not a bad stay but I don't think that we shall be returning. micannemac

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.

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
2. 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.
