Reviews
A nice space to get out of the rain and have a few drinks and some steak. Great view across the lake and very good selection of food and cocktails. Staff were present and knew the menu well and we would definitely visit here again.
Fabulous place to eat and just be at. It has amazing views of the lake and backs it up with top notch food and service. Firstly we hadn't booked and the front of house was very accommodating and squeezed us in when he could've turned us away. My youngest then split most of her drink which they cleaned and replaced with no issue which made us feel much better about the situation. So much choice on the menu and the staff were helpful in recommending what to have. I went with the dirty burger and upgraded the fires to loaded waffle fries and washed down with a lovely pint of wainwright gold. All excellent. My wife had the fish and chips and the haddock was awesome. Fresh white meat and perfect batter. Kids ate everything and shared the dessert burger for pudding which is a must try. Me and wife shared a biscoff cheesecake which was also excellent. No surprise this place is top on trip advisor. Will definitely be returning next time we're at the lakes and I'll be sure to book!
Servers were really friendly and nice, open to requests. Food was okay, the fish can serve 2 people as it is very large. The steak plate was underwhelming and be advised that if you order a sauce for it it is £3 extra. The place was a little dirty by the windows but the view is exceptional. Great for a family trip and to chill looking at the lake. Atmosphere woukd get a 5/5 if it were properly clean due to the fantastic view
We recently returned to this lovely spot after first visiting four years ago, and we’re happy to say the food is still just as great—delicious and beautifully presented, bringing back fond memories of our previous visit. The terrace is a real highlight, offering stunning views out over the lake and the yacht dock—perfect for a relaxing lunch or dinner with a view. Service was warm and attentive, and they were especially accommodating of our dog, which we really appreciated. The only small gripe would be the noticeable price increase compared to our last visit. That said, with everything that’s happened in recent years—COVID, inflation, and rising costs—it’s understandable, and probably to be expected. All in all, a lovely experience in a beautiful setting. We’ll definitely be back again.
What a find! We went for an early valentines/ anniversary meal and we were not disappointed!! Food was amazing, I’ve never tasted fish and chips like that before and we eat a lot of fish and chips!! So tasty and fresh! Prawns and squid also amazing and the goats cheese winter salad… fabulous! Plus the service was fantastic too which is rare these days, they really looked after us on a special occasion. I bet in the summer this place is unreal with views across the lake on the balcony. We will definitely be back!! Thanks guys xx
