Top 8 Gluten-Free Pet-Friendly Spots to Explore in Windermere

As coeliacs we were pleasantly surprised to find out that 50%+ of the menu was GF and that all of the fried products were gluten free so no risk of cross contamination! The starters were great however things took a turn when we received our mains. We ordered 2 fish and chips and when they arrived it was just that, Fish and a few chips… even though on the menu it states mushy peas. We waited a few minutes to see if anyone would return with our portions however they did not so we got up and asked a member of staff who just said “oh ye they have ran out but do you want us to put some green beans on for you” in which we accepted but it’s not the same thing 🤷🏼‍♀️. Not once when we were ordering or waiting for our food did anyone inform us of this shortage which leads us to believe they were hoping we just ‘wouldn’t notice’ the peas missing. Also the mash with the steak and ale pie is powdered and horrible. 10 minutes we received our ONE portion of HARD COLD green beans in a tiny bowl. During our whole main meal we were not checked on once despite the restaurant being near enough empty and staff just standing around chatting. When a blonde lady wearing black came to clear our plates we did confront her about our dissatisfaction and disappointment in a pleasant way about the beans and general meal and expressed how we just wish it had been mentioned prior and all she responded with was ‘must have slipped my mind’ in a very rude and unapologetic way. Once we had this confrontation we did not see another member of staff again ! We were now being ignored! our drinks were all empty, we showed no sign of leaving but no dessert menu was offered. So we made a point of staying until a member of staff came back to the table which they never did. Instead this rude blonde lady was standing behind the bar staring at us giving us a dirty look. After 10-20 minutes we finally have to get up ourself and make our way to the bar to pay the bill as it’s clear the staff are incompetent. At the bar not one word was said and we we will never return to this god awful restaurant because of a silly little blonde woman who needs to redo her training in communication and customers because she is embarrassing .

A beautiful spot for speciality coffee and brunch. The filter was incredibly smooth, the cortado the perfect temperature The brunch was well priced and exquisite despite being quite simple. The hashbrowns were outstanding, they were deep fried and had the smallest amount of spice added to them. That avocado was not Overpowered by lime, but it was actually well seasoned and freshly created. The bread was perfectly toasted. My wife is able to get good gluten-free bread for her bacon sandwich We took home some pastries were out of this world . This place is not just for the locals Or coffee enthusiast but for everyone. Couldn’t recommend it higher - And the staff were so accommodating and so lovely!

The food was really nice. Lots of gluten free options. I had the curry and it was my favourite curry ever. The rice really complemented it. The food was also well priced.

Me and my boyfriend stayed here for his birthday and had the best time. We personally loved the food! I have celiac and they have were so good at making sure I ate safe, the gluten free bread they had was actually really nice. We didn’t realise till the second day the breakfast was included (I think we were told but was very tired when we arrived so our fault). The service was good they were nice and helpful, the location was great as there was lots to do near us. Also really appreciated them posting back a top that we had left there! Our room was abit small and shower was just ok. But very pleased with our stay overall. Would definitely recommend and would return here.
