Been here quite a few times over the years, certainly less since moving away from Ulv, but it's always a good place to go when I visit my family and friends in ulverston. Good food and good atmosphere. The staff are all lovely too. Can get a bit crowded on the usual busy nights, but it's mostly not a problem. If you fancy a casual sit down, it's relatively quiet at lunch in my experience

Been here a few times over the years. The food is good, with plenty of options and they cater for Gluten Free/ Coeliacs. They have a great beer garden out the back, which is great in the summertime.
