I had a melt in the mouth fillet of beef served with wonderful chunky chips but it was let down by an over salted peppercorn sauce. I would go back again though as hopefully the sauce was just a one off error. No food Sunday evening and closed all day Monday.

Thank you. Debbie

Went out for lunch here today. Having passed it many times & always appeared to be busy. The menu…read moreis extensive with a huge specials board. Tons of seating in coves & circular/square tables. A large bar to stand at if required. Vast amount of space for disabled customers. The food was pretty good & we got 2-4-1 so a bargain really. I had heard some good reviews hence the visit. Would return to try some other meals in the future.

Just what one expects from a classic English pub. And I think I might have possibly had the most amazing cut of venison I've ever had here and the wine selection made the meal perfection. Our group ordered several main dishes - cod, steak & ale pie, and lamb shoulder. We also ordered way too many starters good grief, but I think the terrine was an absolute dream so it was worth it. Basically you can't go wrong here. Ask for the waiter's suggestion if you're unsure what to order. I'd also suggest coming with a big party since there's a lot of room.

Dogs are made welcome and cyclists and walkers who have taken advantage of the local countryside have welcomed the warm wood burning fires in the winter months. I like that you can personalise your meal by choosing a main course and then adding vegetables as desired. The desserts are also home made - cheescakes are a speciality. The pies are made with a family heritage pastry from the owner's grandmother. The chef offers specialities on a weekly basis. We visited on Christmas Eve 2021 and Valentines Day 2022 and enjoyed the set menus. Well worth a visit.

Relax here, the staff is ready to make this luxury even better with whatever you need! Directions to many local hikes or hot coffee on the picnic tables. So much fun to have, there are gardens, strolls, patios and quiet libraries too. This is the most beautiful place I've ever stayed because I can get some rest, unwind and enjoy the great outdoors. Yesterday there was a local marathon- yes!- great runners charged past into the local town of Ambleside. Hikers and dog lovers are here too.

Such a charming pub and inn right in the middle of the Lakes District. There's a glorious view…read moreoverlooking the mountains right in front of the venue (with picnic tables if you'd like to sit and enjoy it with a pint). Brunch, lunch, dinner, and bar snacks are served at the Drunken Duck, and I'd only really recommend booking for dinner. The beer and cider are mostly local I believe. We did the curry bowl to share (vegetarian and VERY tasty - kind of wish I could get the recipe), scampi, fries, and tartare sauce (those fries are to die for!) and the lamb kofta, hummus, flatbread, and mint yoghurt (great for sharing and noshing). There's plenty of parking on the side of the inn. The inside is decorated beautifully (very insta-worthy), so maybe consider renting out for an event. And yes, you can bring your dog to dinner/drinks.

I have to say the puddings ar the best part for me too, my husband likes the bill as it never costs an arm and a leg. If you go mon-sat before 5.30 everythng on the menu is 1/3 off, which is a big help to affording to eat out more often. Be warned only go if you love chicken and steak as nearly everything on the menu is based around this. The only down side is you cannot book tables and they cannot accomodate large groups sitting together.

There is a salad bar which you can help yourself to after ordering a meal. The staff are very friendly. The food is served very quickly and I have never had to make a complaint.

On Sundays, there is an offer on which you can order any type of chicken for only £6, this includes chips, corn on the cob and sauces and unlimited salad from the salad cart. The restaurant also offers a third off meal prices if ordered before 6pm on a weekday and 5pm on a Saturday.
