Delicious meal and very helpful staff. Thank you for being so accommodating today, we booked very last minute for 8 people and didn’t realise they weren’t dog friendly. Rather than turning us away, they rearranged tables outside, put the umbrellas up and made sure we were comfortable with blankets.
Went in for the 2 course Sunday lunch. Both starters were great, with the mushroom & sage soup being such a pleasant surprise that myself who hates mushroom soup absolutely would’ve got it.
The roast lunches were delicious and absolutely filling. All the sides to the roast cooked perfectly and the
It was quiet with just one other table with people. Service was great and food was wonderful. Best shepherds pie I have had. Husband loved his hamburger. By the time we left the place was really filling up!!
Absolutely perfect steak and ale pie without a sign of gristle or fat. Proper quality pub food made fresh!
Amazing as always, 200 mile drive to meet my son and grandaugher well worth the drive for lunch. Fantastic service, fantastic food and fantastic ambiance . Definitely the best restaurant in Ambleside in my opinion
This was the best lunch we had in the Lake District. It was family friendly. The building was very cool. Everyone enjoyed their meal. My daughter wanted to go back again for the kids chicken. The meat pie was outstanding!
Only popped in for a quick drink to get out of the rain.
Saw plates of good food emerging from the kitchen
Me and the wife ended up having the steak and ale pie and chips & a bottle of red
Well recommend
All this on a rainy Thursday afternoon
Atmosphere was good and staff very friendly 👌 👍

Glad we booked as it filled up quickly at 17:00. Roast Beef and Lamb Sunday Dinners with sticky toffee pudding for afters.
Washed down with a bottle of Rosé and some local beers for me.
Top notch food, drinks and service.
Bare in mind the tables need to be vacated after a set time at busy periods
We’ve been to Ambleside twice but have managed to dine at The Priest Hole 4 times - it really is that good! This is a notch above your average gastropub. High quality, changing menu that delivers every time. As you’d expect, the food is accompanied with an extensive drinks menu. The service is truly
So full of atmosphere and the history in the walls can be felt!! Food outdtanding, happy smiley attentive service, welcoming but not pretentious. 10/10* all round for us

Good food, but could have been great, the steaks two of our party have were quarter fat. Everything else and other four meals were excellent
A really great discovery. We have had the best lamb shank ever. The other dishes were also delicious. The food here is really good and authentic. Kitchen and the service, which is super, attentive and fast, respond to special requests in an uncomplicated manner. Gluten-free is also no problem for mo
The building is lovely and old, lots of character. The food was delicious. Missed a drink off the order but brought one as soon as informed. Had to ask for a steak knife but again got one quickly when asked. The staff where lovely.
The staff squeezed us in for an early dinner. They were fully booked later. We were well taken care of on the outside patio. My fish pie with a gratin crumb topping was excellent. I should not have had the sticky pudding but it was soooo good. We'll have to start sharing desserts my walking is
I don't review restaurants often, but this was - no exaggeration - the best steak I've ever eaten, anywhere. It was 18 months ago I actually visited, and I still remember the steak. Saw it on my bank statements just now and felt motivated to come back and say something about it, that's how good it w
