This was our second time at The Old Stamp House. It has been excellent on both occasions. Delicious inventive dishes from excellent local produce. Sublime cooking in a relaxed comfortable setting. We'll be back a third time.

Had a quick lunch and wasn't disappointed. Both the tacos and burrito had generous portions of steak and were delicious. I liked the short simple menu, would eat here again if in the area.

My husband and I ate here last Thursday. This is a fabulous place, one of the best restaurants we have eaten in for a long time. Great atmosphere, service and food. What a shame it’s only open 3 nights! We live in London and have lots of choices , plus we travel a lot and your place is hard to beat.

Great wee café, fantastic food and service. Very small though, so if you don't mind an intimate dining experience this is the place for you. Expect to wait during busy times.

Also, a very bijou toilet...

What a gem! The service was nothing but great! Really friendly and welcoming. My partner and I had full breakfasts which were really nice. While waiting the waiter popped over to show off a freshly baked quiche. Couldn't resist and ordered a sliced to go. Once ready to pay we have spotted all the lovely cakes on display. Couldn't resist either and got couple to t/a. Amazing!!! Lemon drizzle ?
I would love an option for hash brown with my breakfast, but that's because on top of cakes I love potatoes ;)
Hash browns or not its a must visit when around Ambleside!!! Also coffee is yum!

Fellinis Restaurant

Church St, Ambleside

The most wonderful vegan food. Absolutely delicious. We highly recommend everything we chose as a family of five: the cauliflower steak, nut roast, onion tarte tartin, and desserts of roasted peaches, chocolate bomb, and crumble. The service was excellent. Very attentive, welcoming and polite. The atmosphere was lovely and we were sat in the cutest booth. We can’t wait to go back.

What an experience! Exactly what a taster menu should be, friendly, attentive and informative staff and 12 courses of absolute heaven! Every single course was delightful but two will live with me forever, the Ōra king salmon, karebushi, tomato and maple dashi and the toasted Papua New Guinean vanilla & brown sugar cheesecake with Earl Grey oil are quite literally the two best dishes I’ve tasted in my life! A massive thank you to the team, we will definitely return!

Sheila's Cottage

The Slack, Ambleside

My wife and I have been going to Ambleside twice a year for nearly 20 years... We look forward to Sheilas cottage so much that we always have two meals each visit - so 4x a year !! The standard of food and service never drop and the menu retains a comfortingly similar look with local fresh produce at the core. The food is based on hearty local favorites and served with perfectly cooked steamed vegetables , never limp or undercooked. My last meal was fish and chips... i just fancied it but thought it would be a mistake to move away from more local dishes.... it was fantastic.. the batter was crisp but not greasy and the chips were plentiful and delicious.... Just proves that the chef really knows his craft - dogs are welcome and the atmosphere is relaxed and inclusive, plenty of seats and great service. Thanks to all the staff!!

Proper old pub, with quiet nooks, no music or telly, which is exactly what we needed after a day of hiking. Went for 3 nights and would be back again next time I'm in Ambleside. Cheers!
