In bowness on windermere for a night next week, can anyone reccomend a decent place to eat out? As I may need to book in..

Don't want Michelin star type, just pub food or burgers will be great...

You’ll need to book, we ate in a pub last Thursday in the Lakes, they were turning loads of people away who just turned up for a pint. It’s all table service.

If you fancy a trip to Ambleside, we ate at Misto last Friday night and it was good.

Have a little run out to the Masons Arms, Strawberry Bank, or else the Hare and Hounds Bowland Bridge

Misto was heaving this evening as we drove past. Had a quick pint in the Ambleside inn (used to be the queens hotel) and the burgers, fish & chips and pies they were sending out looked the business. Quite nice inside too, although if you sit between the back and front doors, it could be chilly if the table full of coat wearing diners next to us were anything to go by.

We went for fish and chips from the little chippy in Windermere the other night. It’s been a while since I’ve been to Windermere, and I was really surprised how nice it is now. Lots of places really look like they’re making the effort. I’ve not been anywhere other than the chippy there, but everywhere looks like it’s upped their game and might be worth a visit. My mum recommends cafe italia if you fancy Italian.

Not the Windermere I remember from my childhood.

If you’re having a ride out, loads of people still reckon the drunken duck is worth a go.

Yes, I agree about Windermere. We had a couple of visits to Grasmere, that’s nicer than I remember also!

If you want decent pub food you won't go wrong with The Village Inn, we used to eat there once a week but haven't been since they re-opened, Lamplighters in Windermere is also pretty good.

Only for breakfast at the Magic Roundabout, it was very good, I'd not recommend the other one, its brake brothers microwave food.

The Villa Positano Italian on Ash Street is fantastic btw.

Agree with some of the other comments about Windermere. Had a week there last summer and was really impressed. Decades since I’d last been there. Went to probably the same fish&chip shop mentioned here and it was excellent. Plenty of visits to the Crafty Baa (free mini pork pie!).

Found it was generally much quieter than Bowness which was packed with tourists. Was as if they couldn’t be bothered to wander as far as Windermere.

Had some excellent beer and reasonable food in The Angel Inn - lot better than I was expecting tbh.

I’ve heard The Angel Inn is good. We were staying at The Langdale so stayed local for meals.
