Such a welcoming little gem in the heart of Hawkshead. The staff are wonderful and very friendly. The service is first class. The venue is cozy. The food is fresh locally sourced, homemade and delicious. Welcomes well behaved four legged friends too. Superb visit.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options great.Kid-friendliness: Lots of lil people enjoying their food, staff are brilliant with them.

Absolutely abysmal from start to finish.While sitting having a drink in Kitchen we popped over to book a table for the evening.Arrived at 7:30 to be asked to wait in the doorway as they were having issues with the till, card reader and no free tables.Not a bother, these things happen to everyone.After a little while staff suggested we may like a seat while waiting and directed us over to some high tables and stools. The wait wasn't long before we were shown to our seats.Hilariously the table was by the window with one of the seats being in a bench with cushions and the other a normal chair which resulted in me being around 2ft higher than my husband. This did keep us entertained every time I sat up but not what you want when you're out for a meal together.Food and drinks orders taken, the husband opted for a pint and myself a diet coke. Most likely the best part of the meal.Food, I'd ordered a margarita pizza with the broccoli and sun-dried tomatoes added.The husband went for beef shin chilli.We also opted for some fries to share.Oh my god this was the absolute worst food we've had in a long time.Pizza, the base was clearly a bought base, maybe from the local Co-op. Hard, tasteless and dry as sand.The mozzarella was fine, but some wasn't even melted yet. Mixed with a dry, hard base you wonder how on earth that happened. The pizza sauce was okay, very much tasted like a tube of tomato puree than anything with any seasoning.Beef shin.The worst of the two, rice was overcooked and undercooked, maybe separate batches mixed together. The rice could have done with draining properly too as this created a very watery meal.Sadly this wasn't sticky rice as expected but only specified as rice on the menu so we can't complain about that.The beef shin was actually very tasty, but a very small portion. The tortillas added were actually a cut up wraps which had been toasted. Burnt in places and floppy in others.We also had to ask twice when the fries ordered would arrive as food had arrived around 10 minutes ago. Seems like they'd been forgotten.No apology for the delay.The waitress was asked about the 'tortillas' and replied 'i don't know what they are actually' this interaction was when the plates were collected with more than half the meal remaining because we just couldn't try eating anymore.A couple to the left of us, also sitting on the bench and chair situation asked to order drinks, the manager said he'd be over soon, the bloke then went to the bar and asked again.Order taken, pint, wine and a glass of water.They asked to order food at the same time and told someone else would be over soon to take it.When their drinks arrived the water was missed, the poor lass asked 3 times for water before it arrived.Another couple over from us were finding the situation hilarious too, they'd also ordered a pizza and many times just laughed at it.This is clearly a place that is kept alive by the tourists who have no idea just how bad the food will be.Such a shame!

Lovely and helpful staff serving unusual food and cakes tried the Broccoli, soya and ginger soup lovely and thick great for a wet and cold day.Dogs are allowed spoke to a lab enjoying warmth from the open kitchen.RecommendNot a big place inside but have outside area with tables.

What a fantastic little gem this place is. The staff are phenomenal, very attentive and great with the kids and dogs. Wonderful food, wonderful atmosphere and just spectacular. We will be back in November.
As a cafe was full we spotted this restaurant, the name itself is so cute. Walked in and shown to a table. Decor is gorgeous with hanging flowers ? and the staff and service brilliant. Friendly and prompt. The food was so delicious, definitely homemade. Will go again.

Everyone apart from one of our group was disappointed here.The price was expensive for what we had.We also found the waiter quite intrusive to the extend that nobody wanted dessert in order to leave.Quite surprised by other reviews.
