Very pleasant small bar area, good selection of gin cocktails at affordable prices, nice beer garden to the rear of the property, food menu is seasonal & can be found on their website.
Very good here. Staff member behind the bar was very knowledgeable about gin (despite not drinking it herself!) and was polite and engaging. Good choice of gin, whiskey, vodka and rum
Simply the most amazing dining experience in the South Lakes area. Very friendly staff, award-winning food that will blow your mind, all in a relaxed and beautiful setting. A perfect night out!
All aspects of the restaurant have been perfectly planned from the decor, service to background music. The meals we had were also spot on, extremely good quality and the right amount. It's a pity we live so far away.
Food is fantastic and incredible collection of gin to sample with all staff having a great knowledge of each gin and what to mix them with. Highly recommend.
I have been here a few times, both to take advantage of the restaurant and Gin bar. The food here in the evenings is always tasty and offers an experience. If you're looking for stuffed, go elsewhere. If you're looking for memorable, tasty and comfortably full, this is the ticket for you. The Gin Cocktails are great. I recommend Thyme will Tell. My Wife enjoyed the Friar Tuck. They also do a fantastic Sunday Brunch, with unlimited prosecco on the first Sunday of each month. You get an hour and a half to dine and drink and it is well worth it. The staff are always friendy and well turned out. The venue is a little dark for my taste, but is well kept, modern and clean. I would recommend a visit.
Sitting 2 blocks from the A590 in central Ulverston, this elegant Georgian townhouse B&B is a 3-minute walk from the Laurel & Hardy Museum and 7 minutes' walk from National Rail trains.
