We went here for our anniversary meal. What a lovely experience. Relaxed, attentive staff, lovely situation, and fabulous food. Highly recommended.

A last minute decision to have lunch before leaving the Lake District for home proved to be the right choice. We phoned at 11.30 enquiring on a lunch booking, we were advised on the telephone that they were serving from the normal lunch menu and not sunday lunch which I was quite pleased about.

Canapes served with pre-dinner drinks was a nice touch. Creative dishes which were full of flavour. Loved the local Herdwick lamb. Slightly disappointed with the cheese selection.....no local cheese, and no grapes, celery or apple to accompany. Not a huge criticism, more a suggestion to think about.

I got married at Linthwaite just over 2 years ago, and as I was visiting the Lakes with my parents, we thought we would go for lunch. It was as good as ever, food and service both brilliant. We ate off the new terrace menu, which was varied and the food quite substantial. We actually ate in the restaurant as... More
