Meals were lovely but the room was freezing

Friendly staff, good range of food and drink. Ample parkingIt's time for a quick update to my review......Booked a table for a Saturday evening for a meal with friends. Was very busy!Had fillet steak, I must say this was one of the best steaks I've had in a long time. Cooked to perfection (med/rare).I must say that the food represents great value for money. There is a wide choice on the new menu.My advice is to get there early as it can get VERY busy.Still - Very highly recommend for a good feed!Food & drinks: Everything was well cooked and very tasty.

We always visit the Dovenby Ship when we are in the Lake District. Quite a distance from where we stay but well worth the journey.

The food was delicious, hot and very good portions would definitely return here and recommend to others, the tables and chairs could do with a bit of updating but this doesn't take away from the food and serviceFood & drinks: Food delicious and hot, good sized portions and the chips were to die for, drinks about average

Went here for the first time in a long while as we fancied some where different for a change omg what a mistake that was. When we arrived the staff showed us to our table the floor was very slippy like greasey and tables and chairs were also very run down with stains and tables wernt nice either. Very run down and could do with a refresh. When the food arrived it was swimming in grease so much that we couldn't even eat the food which made the onion rings and chips all soggy. We sat for a long while but no one come over 2 see if the meal was okay or to take the plates away. So we just walked over the bar 2 pay the bill wen he asked behind the bar if everything was okay we told him that it wasn't great and swimming in grease... he just sed he was sorry about that.... 83.50 for a load of you know what....sh*@# Good luck if you decide to go!! I'll be sticking to my usual restaurants for now on ha.

Struggling to find anything on a Tuesday we came across this pub serving food. It wasn't very busy with ample parking. Looked at the menu on the Facebook page and the prices looked ok, transpires the actual menu is a little more expensive, so keep that in mind if your looking at Facebook. The special was nice, huge portions, the Cumberland sausage was nice, but I have had nicer but nothing wrong with it. Service was lovely, glass of wine was very expensive at nearly £7 for a small glass, would go again if in that area.

5 different meals chosen, all very nice. Excellent value. Staff helpful and attentive. The first venue we’ve visited all week that has offered a wide choice of meals.

I booked a room here in June for business. After arriving and waiting for an hour I was told to return later as the room wasn’t ready. I duly did so and returned later that evening. I was told by staff to ring the owner as they said they couldn’t find the key for the room. The owner went on to tell me they’d lost the key for the room and there was nothing he could do. He then said he’d refund me. He has since blocked my number and will not return my calls with no sign of refund. Do not attempt to book a room here unless you want the same treatment.
