The Punch Bowl Inn is a charming spot with delicious food and very good service. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and they even provide coloring sheets for children, which is a nice detail.
The children?s menus are homemade and carefully prepared, and everything we tried was excellent. The cheese soufflé was outstanding, and the cheesecake was just as delicious.
It?s definitely worth the detour. Highly recommended!

Fabulous evening spent at The Punchbowl. Superb dinner and service. The food was amazing, superbly presented and bursting with flavour. The cheese soufflé and steak were particularly outstanding. All the staff made us welcome and provided an excellent service. Thank you

Fantastic food and service set in the Cumbrian countryside. Highly recommend for a lovely meal and restaurant that is a cut above. You can also stay but we only visited for lunch.

We ate at the restaurant, it was great. Food was super tasty, the souffle was yummy. The service was great, we had to change a few items from the pre order, kiddies needs, the staff were very accomodating. The lady from Liverpool was great. Would go again.

This used to be one of our favourites.
Such a shame on our last visit the standards have dropped, but the prices have gone up!
My cod was incredibly salty that I couldn't even taste the cod. The mini fishcake that came with it was flavourless, and the potato was just plain potato.
My partners dish was quite bland and dry, very small portions now.
Unfortunately the prices have kept going up but the quality has declined.
This used to be our go to when visiting the lakes, but it seems it's not what it used to be which is a great shame.
We won't be returning.

Absolutely loved our stay in Noble, with its two baths overlooking rolling fields and the churchyard, it's a wonder we left the room at all! The restaurant was spectacular and the food to die for. Excellent service from the staff at the restaurant and wonderful Judith on the front desk, who couldn't do enough for us. Thank you all for a wonderful stay.

We enjoyed the most fantastic meal the evening after swimming the Great North Swim. Expensive but worth it for the exceptional quality and taste! Just one criticism, the barman was surly, bad tempered and unfriendly. Such a shame, but other than that everything was perfect, the ambiance wonderful, the setting & decor tasteful and the remainder of the staff courteous and attentive.

Exceptional!!! Always loved the Punchbowl at Crosthwaite. There was a time, one occasion when we were slightly disappointed in the food but not tonight, it was exceptional!! Every single course was absolutely delicious, I had to restrain myself from licking the plates. Stornoway black pudding, bible and squeak and crispy hens egg to start, gorgeous, pork fillet with sticky pig cheek and a side of leek gratin, beyond words and chocolate and coffee mousse for dessert, just stunning, it was all amazing, congratulations to the chef and team, what a fabulous meal, the best I've had for such a long time. We are staying at the Punchbowl tonight and the rooms as always are gorgeous, relaxing and furnished so perfectly. The staff are warm and friendly, roll on breakfast ??????
