One of the best dinners ever. We sat at the chef’s table and it was a great experience talking to the chefs and getting their recommendations - amazing vibe. Best egg fried rice of my life, really good pak-choi and Korean chicken, and I would give a million stars as well to the mango magnum. Cocktails were outstanding too. Thanks team for giving us such a memorable dinner!

Fabulous evening at this beautiful Lake District restaurant - great food, service and ambience. Faultless!

Dampen expectations before you go. The quality of the starters (aloo tikki and Asian fried chicken) was probably 3-star, and main courses 3- or 2-star. Pork belly was very average, and Goan prawn curry was below mediocre, the flavour was anything but authentic, with too much turmeric. There was 3 prawns in the curry (please correct me if I am wrong) ! Pak Choi is clearly an acquired taste, I could not eat it. Fried rice was different from usual, and was probably the best dish we had. No, it was the dessert, a sorbet of some kind that was the best. While it is not wildly over-priced, we did not feel that we had quality food overall. Tastes and opinions differ, I guess. Oh, by the way, sitting at the Chef's table is mighty uncomfortable, with nowhere for you to rest your feet on. We had to change our seats for this reason. Also, the cocktails were below par, quite disappointing.

The food and service were excellent, some of the best I have experienced.I had the lamb and it was the best, very very tender.All very reasonably priced for such good food and service - you would pay twice the amount in London.

I love this place. The food was delicious, special mention to Westies chicken, the egg fried rice and the beef cheek. All beautifully cooked with the perfect amount of spice and flavour. Staff are super friendly and on hand to talk you through anything on the menu. All helps to create a nice relaxed atmosphere to enjoy some great food.

It used to be good here, again things have slipped a bit with the standard of cooking, which is a shame hence 4. Maybe I'm being too critical, when a place pushes it's self a the best and is not consistent at these prices it could be better.
Raw chicken served - main course sent back - as inedible. So disappointing! The main course replaced however had to eat by myself as other food for my fellow diner not taken away and re cooked at the same time so they had finished their food by the time my was cooked again. Was planning a two night stay & booking into the on site restaurants for later in the year, sorry to say, this plan has now been changed due to this poor experience on this visit.

Five star service and food at Spice. A wonderful meal in comfortable surroundings with family. Staff were helpful and polite without being overbearing. The food was sublime. Even our more conservative family member enjoyed the food and couldn’t praise it enough. Can’t wait for another visit in the future.

Visited last night, stand out best pan Asian food in the lakes. We couldn’t get enough of the egg fried rice. Can’t wait to return

Really tasty, imaginative food and a lovely ambiance in the restaurant. We stayed at the hotel for a night and chose this over Source and didn’t regret our decision. Look forward to trying source next time!

Beautiful restaurant with excellent staff and gorgeous food. We booked the chefs table which was awesome as you get to watch the chefs at work and they even chat to you and give you recommendations. These guys never stop, if they’re not cooking, they’re prepping and it’s cool to watch! My recommendations would be the Braised Beef Vietnamese Curry and the Tempered Potatoes, also the Jamaican ginger cake is out of this world!! Can’t wait to go back already!
