This was not our first time here and the food is lovely however they seem unable to cope with more than a few tables. They take your order at the table and ask for payment up front. We knew they were struggling so an hour after our starter arrived we asked how much longer our main course would be. We ordered more drinks and asked if we could not pay up front due to the wait. The manager came over and was very confrontational, he brought us a printout of exactly the time our starter plates were cleared in an effort to prove we?d been waiting less time than we had. He actually proved it was 40 minutes since the starter plates were taken away, I pointed out that there was a delay in taking them. He then stared at me until I said ?I don?t know what you want from me?. The people on the next table to us told us they were nervous to order after that. They finished their drinks and left. The manager could?ve just apologised for the wait as the waiting staff had been doing to every new arrival during our wait. There were about 15 occupied tables at this point and he did not seem able to cope. The waiting staff were lovely though. I did get an apology from the manager on the way out, but only because I approached him and told him he?d been unnecessarily confrontational and that an apology was all that had been needed. We didn?t bother with dessert and we probably won?t be back.

Incredibly Slow service, very average food.

Setting is beautiful, fabulous venue and the food was excellent. Best of all was the service. Our family group of 6 plus a young baby were so well looked after, they did everything possible to make our visit perfect and couldn?t have been more accommodating, welcoming and friendly. They were all great but a special thanks goes to Erin. We had a wonderful experience and I highly recommend.

A really nice place to have some pub food with a view close to Bowness. The sweet and sour pork belly was very flavorful and the two mains also really great, even though a bit too oily.
We had a fun night while also participating in the Thursday night pub quiz!

??????? ? ?A fine view wasted on landlubbers and plastic seafolk!?
By Captain Barnacle Bill the Mildly Irate
Arrr, I came to Windermere with dreams of high seas adventure, hearty grog, and a brisk tailwind through me beard. What I got was a lake. A lake, I tells ye. No tides, no kraken, and?worst of all?no room to unleash the full 40 cannons o? me galleon, The Dread Naughty.
I docked outside the Marina View Bar and Restaurant, where the view is fine, if ye like watchin? yappy little dinghies made of fiberglass skitter about like drunk ducklings. Fiberglass! What happened to ships made of oak? Good English oak, soaked in blood, sweat, and questionable sailor hygiene! These things wouldn?t survive a single cannonball, let alone a strong breeze and a seagull with attitude.
The restaurant itself? Cozy, aye. Good chips, and the fish was fresh enough to still be insultin? me under its breath. But the rum?oh, sweet Poseidon?s beard, the rum?was served in a dainty glass with an orange slice. AN ORANGE SLICE. I nearly wept into me tricorn hat.
I tried to launch a proper naval siege on the harbour, but Windermere?s cursed speed limit be 5mph, and The Dread Naughty takes at least 7 minutes to turn about. By the time I raised me Jolly Roger, a paddleboarder overtook me and asked if I needed directions. INSULTIN?.
Overall: If ye be a pirate with dreams of pillagin? and a lust for the open sea, turn back, matey. But if ye enjoy scenic views, modern conveniences, and boats that look like IKEA furniture, then aye, ye might just like it here.
Would I return? Only if I run aground and need chips.

Lovely marina setting

Had a roast beef dinner, nothing spectacular. Beef, gravy and yorkie were okay, everything else was below par - roast potatoes tasted reheated or like they'd been sat a while. Choice of veg was odd. Not particularly clean either. Wouldn't return anytime soon.

Love this place, Dog friendly, which was a bonus. Staff were amazing ?, brought dog treats, and water bowl out for the dogs.
The food we had was lovely and did not disappoint ?.
We were staying at the caravan and camping club, which was a 10 minute walk... A Bonus. I would definitely recommend ? Especially if you have dogs ? ?
