We arrived at the Postilion on a Saturday night after viewing the menu of nearly every restaurant in Bowness- none of them particularly tickled our fancy. We found reviews of Postilion, and even though we didn't consider the menu to be spectacular at a glance, the reviews compelled us to check it out. It was 8pm, so prime dinner time.... More

We went here on Saturday 15th June after the Great North Swim. The young waitress was immediately warm and friendly. She attended to our every need through out the evening. The food was absolutely delicious. So much choice, and soooooo very cheap for the standard. Im a big foody, and have eaten in alot of places in Bowness, but this... More

The only thing that is missing here is the atmosphere. The food was super, I had three little pigs for a starter, mushy peas were fab. For main I had pork belly and it was soooooo nice, could have had another portion. For after I went with the sticky toffee pudding and again, lovely. My wife went with the Pork... More

We had a lovely meal here when we were at the Lakes for a weekend. Everything was wonderful, lovely table, food and service both excellent. There was lots to choose from on the menu and reasonably priced too, we both had steaks and they were both cooked as we had requested, will definitely return when we are back in Bowness.... More

I particularly found it difficult to choose as I really fancied most things on the menu ,all I can say the food was excellent , the service was first class... More

Set back off Ash St in Bowness, this lovely restaurant is not to be missed. After dusk, you can follow a trail of pretty lanterns, marking the 20 yards across a cobbled square to the Restaurant entrance. Inside the setting is certainly romantic, ideal for special occasions although they have 2 dining areas, so if you are out with friends... More

Good range on menu, found it difficult what to choose. Service and staff were very welcoming and warming to your needs. Food very well presented and good portion sizes. Would definitely visit next time we are in the area.

This restaurant is a real "mixed bag" and difficult to rate. I had pork belly with chorizo for mains, and the presentation of the dish was "top notch", indicating real skills in the kitchen. However, the pork belly was such low quality meat that I had to spit half of it out. My wife was happy with her choice of... More
