Top Pubs in Ambleside, United Kingdom

Popped into this pub with Ric " The Hat" McTwitty. Drinks only for us but lots of people eating so cannot comment on this other than cheaper than the Ambleside Inn opposite. A good selection of 5 real ales if you ignore Sharp's Doom Bar. The Dark Star ran out so had St Austell Proper Job Pale Ale. Very good. Beer patio to front but no space on a sunny May Friday. Pleasant and spacious interior. Pint and a half of Madri £7.95.

Quite easy to order using the app. (Details at the tables). Service was a little slow but acceptable, food was ok. Average 'pub grub'.

Gave it a go and regretted it. I feel bad because they seemed like nice enough staff but it was really bad food. They also gave me the wrong drink, and I could still drink the other so I checked with them if I had ordered the wrong thing online and then said don't worry about it, just for someone to come over and say they hadn't brought the wrong thing, it's just that the system let me order a drink they don't have in yet. Don't get the logic of that statement but it did make me a lot more bothered about the £4 I paid for the wrong drink. The £16 for a horrid burger and fries was worse though. If like me you think about trying this place as it is very slightly cheaper than other places nearby for what sounds like the same thing, don't. Just pay the extra bit or go get food from the Tesco nearby

Had a fantastic stay, we're made to feel so welcome. Jess, Gabby, Steve & all other staff were super friendly & helpful, nothing was too much trouble. Breakfasts were great, would highly recommend a stay there.

The ultimate burger priced at £17 pounds should be renamed the average burger , the lettuce came from a salad bag, this came with 3 onion rings and 12 whole chips!!.
I suggest more chips or a smaller plate.
The sausage and mash was very light on the mash, you could see the child's pizza with a telescope it was so small.
If you have money to burn and are on a diet this is perfect if not find somewhere else to eat

Jess was wonderful. We had a lot of dietary requirements and made sure we could order what we wanted. She was so attentive and made our experience here amazing. All other staff we interacted with were also lovely. Definitely worth a visit at the end of a long wet walk.

First time to Ambleside and chose The White Lion for a Sunday lunch and OMG! Did we choose well, the rib of beef was amazing. Fully recommend! Literally fell off the bone! The staff were so welcoming and we enjoyed our experience so thank you so much!

We all enjoyed our meals although there were a few issues. There was some confusion when the server misread the order and brought a child's portion. This was quickly resolved. One of our party mentioned that the parsnips were a little chewy. I didn't have parsnips but would've probably enjoyed them anyway. The deserts were excellent. Staff were friendly. Good value.
