This “tiny restaurant in Windermere specialises in expertly cooked fish and seafood”. Established in 2010, it changed hands three years ago and now shares ownership with Bowness-on-Windermere’s Urban Food House. On the debit side, it can be “a bit lacking in atmosphere” (one reporter discerned a “retail shop feel”) and a couple of reports diagnose service issues relating to “post-Brexit and pandemic staff shortages”.

A “tiny eatery in a picturesque seaside town in Northumberland” (with a more recent sibling, Urban Food House, in Bowness-on-Windermere); it “quite recently changed hands” (summer 2019) “but the food remains good” (classic British and Mediterranean dishes, updated with the seasons).

“Fresh fish perfectly cooked on the bone” is a highlight of a visit to this well-established if “basic” venue, which continues to garner positive reports in the main. The owners launched a sibling, Urban Food House, offering pizza and other casual fare, in Bowness, in August 2018.

For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
