Sunday lunch here is the main event — a three-course carving menu with beef and lamb that families come back for, generous enough that some take leftovers home, alongside a proper spread of vegetables. Service is unhurried rather than rushed, which suits a table with children in it, and staff have handled groups of ten and twenty in a separate room without fuss. There are high chairs, a kids' menu, vegan options, buggy access and free parking, plus patio tables for fish and chips on a warm day. It's a short walk from the train station and 10–15 minutes from Lake Windermere, with a bus stop outside. Not cheap — one family called the roast a splurge — and worth booking, particularly for Sundays.
