Langstrath Country Inn - Allerdale

Appalling attitude from a member of staff (Barman, Bold head, tattoos). First we asked for an expresso, he refused to make it so a lady behind the bar kindly made this for us. He then went on a rant about the campsite close by labelling everyone who stayed there a “drug addict” and he hated the custom from anyone from the campsite, the bar should just be for locals and people who stay there. I found his tone and attitude disgusting so much so we left and ended up not eating at the pub. It would be such a shame if the national trust do take over the fields and end up not allowing any campers in the area…wouldn’t be good for business as I’m sure the “drug fulled” campers help with business.

Second time we have been here and the experience has been the same both times. Beautiful food and even nicer staff! Came in for Sunday lunch with the kids. We ordered 2 roasts, one lamb, one beef and chicken goujons. All of the food was served in a timely manner, nice and hot. Janine who looked after us was gorgeous. So friendly amd genuinely interested in having a nice conversation. We ordered desserts after, my daughter recommends the sorbet. The apple crumble was also a hit! Overall lovely experience. We will be back!

What a find! We spent two evenings here, having dinner and drinks either side of walking up Sca Fell Pike. First of all the staff and management were lovely, friendly people and did everything they could to cater to our needs. Genuine and down-to-earth they made it feel like a home from home. Secondly the food was fantastic for the very reasonable prices and we ate 2 courses each day. Finally the Borrowdale real ale was one of the best I've had. All in all I'd highly recommend a visit.

Booked for 7pm for dinner hoping to have awake before hand to make a pleasant evening. Typical heavy Cumbria rain meant we cut the walk short and turned up early. The staff made us very welcome and accommodated us and made the whole evening very enjoyable. The food is good “pub grub” prepared to a high standard. We will be back again hopefully on a drier evening.

**** where to begin. Food Expensive but for a reason. Incredible, cannot recommend highly enough. I had a ribeye steak, which was perfectly cooked, with a mind blowing peppercorn sauce, a huge portion of homemade chips and beautifully cooked tomatoes and a flat mushroom. Guinness was an 8/10 and a huge selection of great single malt scotch. Don’t let the price deter you, this is a hidden gem.
