Popped here for dinner as only round the corner from where we stayed & it was really nice! They have a very good value set menu but I fancied one of the al a carte specials - pan fried sea trout - and wasn't disappointed! My partner had the cheesy fish cakes which were lovely too. I would recommend here

We have eaten here a few times and it never disappoints. Great menu with lots of choice and the service is very good.

The reason for our visit here was to take advantage of the meal and cinema ticket offer, which really is very good. £12.50 for a basic meal plus cinema ticket is superb value. Though if you want a meal from off of the deal menu there is a supplement to pay - worth noting, but it is still an offer...

I am totally amazed by some comments in your review, seeing as you seemed to enjoy our fantastic value cinema deal ' any of our freshly made pastas, salads or seafood risotto and cinema ticket for £12.50 ! You seem surprised that if you had something that wasn't included in that early diner offer, you would be charged extra ?...

We've been here twice now, would have been three times but as we hadn't booked last time we were in Bowness we couldn't get in - speaks volumes. This visit we made sure we booked a table in advance. Food was good and we thoroughly enjoyed the evening. Some menu choices we thought were a bit pricey.

We happened upon this place as soon as we arrived in Bowness for a two-day stay and had a lovely lunch here. There is a great variety of options, and most of the descriptions sound like the kind of thing you'd get on Masterchef! I had tomato and Mozzarella crostini with salad, which was beautifully presented and delicious.
It looks...

We visited this restaurant as a group of 11 including kids from 1 up to 12. The staff were friendly, helpful and bent over backwards to make sure we had a good time and had everything we needed. We weren't the easiest party, changing our minds, requesting changes to dishes on the menu - and keeping the kids entertained. But...
