Popped in for lunch. The grilled salmon was really good, fresh and cooked just right. Service was quick and friendly. Might stop by again if I&#39;m in the area.

Love the quirky decor here. Staff are really friendly too. Their 6% pub IPA is solid, and the fridges have some interesting finds.

Great vibe with the live guitarist playing rock tunes. Ended up staying for an extra round.

The lamb shank was the standout. Cooked for hours, it fell apart with just a fork. The red wine sauce was rich and deep, not too sweet. Portion was generous. Could have used a bit more seasoning on the meat itself, but the sauce covered it.

Popped in for lunch with friends last week. We all got the salmon special with prawns and veg - the creamy sauce was spot on. Good for sharing a few plates and a catch-up. Might be back when I&#39;m next in Bowness.

Loved the lamb skewers! The patatas bravas are honestly the best I&#39;ve had. The cosy, Sicilian vibe is just right for a relaxed catch-up with friends. We ended up staying for ages.

Been a few times now, always a good time. They&#39;ve got those outdoor heaters and blankets, really makes a difference on a cool evening. Music&#39;s just right, not too loud. It&#39;s a nice, relaxed spot.

Great for a big group. The staff were really on it, and they sorted a gluten-free request easily. The wine list had some nice options to go with the hearty food.

Arts Bar. Cosy with the fire going. Happy hour cocktails were a treat. Sat on the terrace, view of Bowness was lovely. Staff friendly. Solid spot.

The apple crumble cocktail was pretty good, quite inventive. The menu seems decent overall. The main courses were fine, though my fish was a little overcooked.

The lamb Henry was incredible, so tender and flavourful. Really impressed with the slow cooking.

Got a table instantly on a packed night, though they did warn us about a 30-minute wait for the food. Service was spot-on, not fussy. The dishes came out right on time. The lamb shank was rich, and they had a nice Malbec by the glass that paired beautifully with it.

Parking was a breeze, which is always a plus. The food arrived promptly and piping hot. My only note is that the wine list felt a bit limited for the menu&mdash;a more thoughtful pairing selection would really complement those hearty dishes.

The small plates menu is a real winner after their recent tweaks. The grilled octopus was spot on, and the burrata with heirloom tomatoes was super fresh. Perfect for sharing with a couple of friends.

The staff were so kind to fit us in for a birthday without a reservation. They even brought out our cake, which was a lovely touch.

Been coming here for years. The staff always remember my name and my usual order. That&#39;s what keeps me coming back.

Had a private do here. James and the team were brilliant, really on it. Kept popping over to make sure we were all good. The BBQ spread was generous, everyone got fed.

Booked for a busy Monday, got seated fast. Menu&#39;s huge, portions are massive. Had the steak frites, cooked just right. Quick and solid for a weeknight dinner.

The beef pie was the star for me. Flaky pastry, rich filling, just spot on. Honestly the best I&#39;ve had. The rest of the meal was nice, but that pie made the visit.

Lovely spot after a long walk in the North Pennines. They have a really good selection of local ales. The staff were friendly and the seating was comfortable, which was just what I needed.

The staff were so lovely! They made us feel right at home as soon as we arrived. Service was quick and friendly, which is perfect when you&#39;re catching up with friends and don&#39;t want to wait around.

Came for the Grinch breakfast event, they handled a packed pub of kids brilliantly. My full English was spot on. The real highlight was their house bloody mary - a proper kick, really made the morning. The Grinch himself was a riot with the little ones.

Perfect spot for a pre-dinner drink, right by the Town Hall. We had a lovely glass of red on the terrace before heading off. The wine list was decent, a good selection by the glass. A bit pricey for the area, but you&#39;re paying for that central location.

The sticky toffee sundae was the star for me. The warm, gooey sauce with the cold ice cream was just right. We tried a few of the small plates too, decent variety for the price.

Been coming here for years, and the dog biscuit is a nice touch. Our spaniel always gets one, makes it feel like a proper local. Tables are always clean, staff are friendly. It&rsquo;s just a reliable spot.

Just popped in for a pint after they opened. Had the place to myself, which was quiet. Bartender was a friendly chap, happy to chat. The ale was spot on, really well-kept. A proper local feel.

Good pub food and a nice range of ales. Staff were really helpful squeezing us in when it was packed.
