Restaurants in Pooley Bridge
1. The Crown Inn Pooley Bridge
Overall Ratings
3.5 based on 602 reviews
A stunning property in the Lake District National Park situated right on the bank of the River Eamont and footsteps from Ullswater. Unwind and relax in characterful and cosy guest bedrooms filled with all the comforts of home. Tuck into fabulous food, hearty and filling, in the restaurant and enjoy a drink in a cosy fire nook for colder days or on the spectacular outdoor terrace with views over the Lakeland when the sun is shining. Part of The House of Daniel Thwaites collection. ** Please note bridge improvement work is due to start in September 2019, but The Crown Inn, Pooley Bridge is still open during this time. **
Unwelcoming and unfriendly.
Reviewed By Haxby-RhinoOver the course of our short family break in Pooley Bridge, we tried to get in to The Crown twice on consecutive days. Both times we were met at the door with a barracade. The pub looked empty, but was informed by the man at the door in a blunt and rather rude tone that they couldn't accommodate us for a drink and that food was about to stop - this was at 5pm. He wasn't interested in trying to explain why we couldn't come in, nor any shred of apologetic tone. So we lleft feeling very unwelcome. In contrast, the staff over the road at the Pooley Bridge Inn were very friendly, accommodating and efficient and we stayed there a good few hours.
2. 1863 Restaurant with Rooms
Overall Ratings
5 based on 515 reviews
1863 is more than just another guest house. Owners Anne and Mark offer their guests the quality of a boutique hotel but with the homely welcome of a traditional B&B. A relaxed, friendly atmosphere encourages visitors to take time to unwind in comfortable surroundings, enjoy locally-sourced, seasonal dishes cooked up by our skilled chef before retiring to the bar for a night cap or to bed for restful sleep.
Outstanding Hotel, excellent food and service
Reviewed By Jet23367801498The food was excellent. Taster menu highly recommended. Stayed two nights, breakfast great. Pre booked what we ate so ready when we came. Bedroom lovely, thoughtful, clean, delightfully decorated. Situated in a lovely village, next to the magnificent Ullswater Lake.
3. The Sun Inn
Overall Ratings
4 based on 214 reviews
The inn was converted from a row of cottages in the 1700s by the original proprietor Edward Richardson. Since then the inn has changed hands several times, and was taken over in May 2010 by John & Jane McGuire. The Sun is a family run establishment. Sunny by name and by nature, this is one of the most friendly and cheery hostelries in the region. It is a sizeable whitewashed building with grey framed windows, which in summer are draped with vibrantly coloured hanging baskets. Inside, the decor is simple and warm with low beamed ceilings, wooden tables and chairs and wood paneled walls and bar. It has a spacious beer garden and a grassy area at the rear with a fantastic wooden childrens play fort. It also has its own car park, which is strictly for patrons. The Sun Inn is renowned for its Real Ales and has been awarded the Cask Marque and features in the CAMRA Good Beer Guide. We offer a wide range of local ales and a constantly changing guest ale and for the non ale drinker there are lagers and stouts.
Excellent Food
Reviewed By 375babssStaying at Pooley Bridge in Motorhome. Decided to eat at the Sun Inn with 16 other friends. Although the pub was very busy they excelled themselves. The food was second to none and the staff and service could not have been better. Definitely be back, well done to all
4. Pooley Bridge Inn

Traditional Lakeland Inn in the Heart of Pooley Bridge, open fires, outdoor courtyard, home-cooked food and 11 en-suite rooms
Too long to wait
Reviewed By Safari05484375350We had a table booked for 1pm for 7 guests (1was a child in high chair) We arrived early aprix 12:40 but as the inn had not been open that long we thought it was not a problem. The restaurant and outside was filling up but not mega. Drinks ordered and then waited at least 20 mins on top for someone to take our food order. We ordered and then waited over 45mins for starters. We asked where they were and was told "I've just put your order to the top of the pile" after that long!! Starters arrived but we asked for chilli nachos but got chilli fries ...We weren't prepared to ask and get changed after waiting so long! Starters eaten and table partly cleared...more drinks ordered. Again over 40 mins we asked where our mains were. Staff apologies and told be about 10-15 mins. Food arrived. Lamb kofta over cooked and tough, chicken on the hot sandwich was like rubber. Sunday roast the meat was nit of a good quality,vegetables bland and the yorkshire pudding resembled expanding foan and went to powder when cut! Burgers were tasty and so was the fries and side orders. The drinks also took a long time and we had to catch people as they were passing. If its table service then make sure the staff are attentive! Management was very apologetic for the wait.. and we took up the discount offer. If she had not suggested one I would have stated about the wait and quality of food. It is a shame. The pub is lovely with the decor and a good selection of food and drinks. I appreciate hospialty industries have taken a beating but if you have a big restaurant, large outdoor areas then make sure your kitchen can can cope and you have enough waiting on staff and they are attentive. In summertime I would expect a long wait!!

What a welcome!
Reviewed By J8028NKangiebWell…. What a welcome we received. Felt rather hostile and uncomfortable, we were not at all sure if we were being scolded for being several minuets late and told several times before shown to our room about the 5:30 check in cut off, even though we had called ahead to say we were having problems. Our room was lovely and can not fault it, other than the rude awaking the next morning by the owners dogs barking and howling. Breakfast was nice all though the dining room was very cold, being heated by fan heater. There was a beautiful lounge, but again we did not feel we could make use of such a wonderful room, as it was freezing cold in there, and felt like we could not ask to use the fire. Which I could imagine being beautiful if lit. Beautiful House, and surroundings although the garden has seen better days. If you looking for unique experience worth a visit, although if you feel the chill make sure you visit when we are in the midst of heatwave
