Excellent. Good vfm. Perfect venison
DynamoD. Hope the change of ownership does not affect the atmosphere here!
If you like our desserts, you haven't experienced anything until you have been to Lucy's. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
We were recommended Lucy's by a friend and I eagerly emailed Lucy there and then to see if we could come the next night and Success!!!
We had a 7.15pm sitting and I cannot fault any part of our experience. Fantastic service, personable waitresses that were interested in us and food that was just out of this world. I do now understand why we were recommended this! Next time we hope we make it on to the newsletter!!
Had an absolutely lovely time here. We got seated straight away by Lucy at 8pm, after making a reservation a few days earlier. We ordered a 3 course meal, fish cake with salad and tartar sauce was delicious. Our mains were both yummy, I had vegetable Tagine (which I would enhance with some melted cheese) and my husband had classic Fish and Chips, you can’t go wrong with. For dessert, we chose the crème brûlée and the lime and ginger cheesecake, which were honestly divinee. Good job Kirsty!
Service and attention to detail were on point especially as we were celebrating my husband’s birthday. Lucy congratulated him as we came in and they prepped a little balloon on our table 🥹
They also have a personalised menu introducing all the customers for that day! which I thought was very cute and innovative.
All in all, very positive experience would highly recommend!
A great surprise, as we hadn't booked a table but the owner got one for us right next to the fireplace.
The food was very tasty and the service and staff very friendly and attentive. We felt very comfortable and had a great time.
We'll definitely be back in the future.
Outstanding dining experience from start to finish, and I highly recommend visiting Lucy’s.
I booked a few months in advance as I wanted to ensure we had a reservation (we were there celebrating my son’s 30th birthday) and I received a confirmation email more or less immediately.
Upon arrival we were warmly welcomed and showed to our table. I loved that there were several vegetarian options: not just pasta or burger dishes that vegetarians are usually offered.
In fact I loved all of the effort that had gone into making the menu, not just the food - but the names of the dishes too! I also really loved (and appreciated) the little personal touches - like being mentioned in the menu.
We really enjoyed our various meals, all the staff were lovely, and we thoroughly enjoyed our evening at Lucy’s.
Highly recommended.
What a great little place. Without a booking they still accommodated us with a smile and a joke. The food was really good, both main and desserts. The staff were excellent and the atmosphere was first rate. The menu is defo worth a read. Changed daily and written by Lucy, it talks about what's going on locally, the weather, any events and people who have booked in for the evening. Would be a amusing surprise if you'd not been before. Never seen this done elsewhere but what an excellent idea.
Never left a review in my life but had such a good experience at Lucy’s on a plate I felt it necessary to leave a 5* review. The atmosphere was very relaxed and the staff friendly and welcoming. Cocktails were delicious and so was the food. We waited a while for the menu which at the time I didn’t realise was typed with special mentions to diners celebrating an occasion (what a lovely touch) I kept the menu as a keep sake for your 10 year wedding anniversary. We came to pay and a lovely couple on the next table who we chatted to briefly had paid for our cocktails ! We later found out they were called Mr & Mrs Shaw, what a lovely gesture. We had a wonderful night and could not recommend this restaurant enough
Lovely restaurant with a great choice of food. They cater for all dietary requirements.
We were celebrating our engagement and my sister had secretly rang ahead. Not only did they serve the champagne she ordered, but they decorated the table and added us to their evening list of special occasions.
Delicious food and great service.
We chose Lucy's as they served gluten free, the two course early bird dining was lovely, choice on the menu was great, my partner had the venison , and I chose the chicken in Parma ham, desserts were so nice too brandy mousse, and a salted caramel Eton mess ...
This is the second time we’ve been to Lucy’s and once again another great meal from start to finish. We started with the belly pork (nice but for £10 we both thought it was overpriced for the portion size),I had the chicken dish which as you can see in photos, comes in a decent portion sized, lovely sauce, lovely flavours. I then had sticky toffee pudding with ice cream to finish. The toffee sauce was delicious, couldn’t get enough!. My partner also had the belly pork start, ribeye steak with chunky chips (he said it was on par to miller and carters steaks - he’s fussy with his steaks and how they’re cooked!) and salted caramel mess for pudding (all gluten free). We love Lucy’s as they cater for many dietary needs and we’ve never had a bad meal. Staff were quick, friendly and attentive. Atmosphere was nice, chilled, relaxed with a nice selection of music in the background.
We went as a large group for a special occasion. Lucy's made a special menu for our group, which was a great touch. We had a special menu too. They even had some South African type dishes on the menu which made it extra special, since some of the group were from South Africa
Amazing food. Highly recommend. Best food we have had in the lake district. Very cute personal touches too making you feel very welcome. Definitely be back when we next visit.
Lucy was a great owner/host.
All the staff were friendly! Also dog friendly!
We had 3 courses and all of them were fantastic! Me and and my wife are both years and dairy intolerant and they catered for us no problem.
We will be sure to head there again when I’m Ambleside.
Food and service was absolutely fantastic, would have no hesitation on returning 👌
This place is truly wonderful
Food is excellent, and the service is second to none! The menus always mention clients by name, and if they are celebrating, that is mentioned too. The owner treats everyone as if they are long-term friends. Love this restaurant 😍
You definately need to book for Lucy's but it was worth it. I popped in during the day early in the week and booked for 6pm on Thursday. When we arrived there seemed to be some confusion if we'd booked or not, but we're shown to our table. As we had arrived at 6pm this seemed to be an issue for the menus which weren't yet printed off (didn't arrive until 6.25) but no bother we were in no rush and had a drink at the table. Kids had good choice on the food daughter had make your own pasta and the eldest had the chicken with chips - (they ate everything!) We both had the lamb cutlets which were outstanding, melt in the mouth and fall off the bone good. Washed down with a White Rioja (recommended) we finished with sticky toffee pudding which was divine. The staff were friendly and we enjoyed our meal. Had to pay at the till rather than the table afterwards but definately would go back - some if the nicest food in Ambleside.
Food and staff excellent. Only complaint is that we waited an hour for our main after finishing our starter. Great atmosphere and attention to detail with regards to menu.
