Steam Bistro - Coniston

This is a new restaurant to the last time I was in Ambleside and it caught the eye of my friend and I as we were walking back to the YHA.

Top quality food which was very reasonably priced. The bang bang chicken burger was incredible. By far our best meal in the Lakes so far and definitely the best place to eat in Coniston. Gutted we discovered it on our last day of the holiday!! Thank you so much for such a brilliant dining experience Parking: Great car park just opposite the bistro Kid-friendliness: Great childrens menu and not just full of the standard nuggets, burger and fish fingers. Our boys had sausage and mash with a choice of vegetables. Sausages were sourced from a fabulous butcher, homemade mash potatoes and homemade gravy! Not a scrap was left. Staff were incredibly accommodating with the boys. Their meals arrived first (upon our request), they sourced some bread and butter for our youngest dispite being really busy, took time out to interact and speak with the boys. We had a 6yrs, 3yrs, and 6 month old. Whilst the toilet was quite small, I was offered space in the upstairs accommodation to change our youngest. We were made to feel incredibly welcome throughout our visit.
