Love this place! Gorgeous food in lovely surroundings.

User

I absolutely adore the Diana steak.. the best i have ever tasted. The staff are very attentive, when i needed my meat cooked a little more no hesitation was made and the plate looked like it did when it first came out. when me and my date couldn't eat all our food they were kind enough to give us little boxes to take the rest home. Always had a great experience there.



My favorite place to wine and dine :)

User

Having stayed at the majestic hotel on several occasions I have always walked out of the hotel and heading for food in the town..... Not any more I wish I did not leave the hotel and headed for the restaurant the starter of king prawn with garlic and chilli was freakin amazing..... And the chicken main course was like sex but without the nagging after telling me it was just ok..... So please if your thinking of a lovely meal I defo recommend this place.... I am going back to Scotland in 4 days and 4 stone heavier me thinks...

User

Far, far, far better pizza than anyone has a right to expect from Barrow-In-Furness!







Full English breakfasts are awesome too. Its worth staying at the attached hotel just so you can eat here to be honest!

User

Fantastic food, look forward to the afternoon tea x

User

Excellent food, value for money, good service, very pleasant surroundings. Highly recommend :-)

User

Excellent food and service, staff always go that extra mile to ensure that you have a good time.

User

Been a few times now with the family. Staff always very helpful and friendly, and the food is superb, would recommend this place to all friends and family

User

Lovely food for the price but extremely poor customer service. I have been three times and felt that the service got poorer each time. Neither me or my partner will be going again xx

User

Slow service meals are nothing special I won't be going back . Had to give it 1 star but deserves a big fat 0
