"Knowing we’d be in Coniston on New Year’s Day (2 adults and 2 children) I booked online at the Yewdale in early Dec to make sure we secured a table, anticipating it might be busy. On arrival we were met by a pleasant waiter who showed us to our reserved table in the mostly empty pub. We were slightly disappointed, having booked a table, to be in the bar area next to a big group of young men who were swearing quite a bit and acting generally laddish. Some of the talk was not something I wanted my daughter who is 7, to hear. Thankfully she was entertained by the colouring menu sheet that was kindly supplied. To be honest I thought we be put in the restaurant bit given we’d booked in advance (the bar reserved for walk ins) but it appeared closed until we were leaving about 6.30pm. Anyway we got on with it as we do as we’re not fussy and there was another family with children there too. Our second disappointment was the big sign saying ‘sorry no pizza today’. Pizza was an option for us and something we were looking forward to having visited in the summer, so this was disappointing. I’d have thought if they weren’t offering pizza they should have told us in advance through the booking system or indicated online. This reduced the menu by 50%. We ordered from the main menu and children’s menu. The children’s fish and chips was excellent and I can’t complain, it was one of the best fish I’ve seen in a child’s menu. The adults lasagne was clearly homemade and tasted ok. Better than it looked . But at 15 I’d have expected it to come with chips not just a bit of garlic bread. Or chips should have been an add on for a couple of given the size of it but they were 4.50 on top. All a bit pricey for what it was and the portion size. The biggest disappointment was the fish pie. I was looking forward to haddock, smoked haddock, salmon and prawns as indicated on the menu. Instead I basically got a bit of haddock (well white fish), a load of spinach, and some cheese mash. No sign of the prawns, smoked salmon or haddock. The buttered greens it came with were leek and green beans and filled half the plate! We didn’t stop for dessert and opted for a chocolate bar at the petrol station instead given how disappointed we were with the mains. Beer selection was good and no issues there and staff were pleasant and attentive. We will probably visit again for pizza but the pub food overall was a let down."

"We eight work colleagues had a lunch get together here. Although fairly quiet when we arrived, it did get busier. We had three courses, I started with the Chefs Shanghai Chicken with soy sauce and sweet chilli dip which with five pieces of chicken was a very generous helping. I followed with the mixed grill and the steak part was cooked rare, just as I had asked for. Followed that with a generous helping of Bread and Butter Pudding with a very generous helping of custard. I was stuffed. As driving, I was able to drink the zero alcohol Guinness which also went down well. My colleague sat next to me had THE most huge portion of ribs that covered his large plate. No one could ever leave here hungry. Our waiting staff were great, including the new started on her first day who appeared to slot into the team really well."

"Fantastic meal at Headlam Hall Hotel. Both my wife and I really enjoyed our meals. The Orangery dining room is a lovely backdrop for the food that was well presented, exceptionally tasty and, unlike many meals out these days, well portioned. The menu certainly lives up to the claim of Modern British cooking using locally sourced ingredients. My Tandoori lamb scotch egg starter was very flavoursome, a great combination... and even had a runny yolk! Both mains (belly pork/fillet of beef) tasted great, and the meats were succulent. My chocolate cheesecake was to die for, and Vanessa's Baked Parkin, salted caramel sauce, brandy snap and black treacle ice cream was a very clever and harmonious combination of flavours. Service was efficient and friendly but not over-obtrusive. All in all, it was one of the best meals we have had in a long time. Thank you."

"The gluten-free and dairy-free products at this restaurant are fantastic. The staff are very helpful in answering any questions about their free from options, and the atmosphere is friendly and welcoming. The house-made Mary Lambert is far superior to anything you would find in a supermarket."

"We had a delightful Sunday roast that was very satisfying, and we definitely got our money's worth. The charming little building created a cozy atmosphere, and they were kind enough to accommodate us and our dogs in a quiet area, even though it wasn't too crowded. There was also a lovely band playing, which the dogs seemed to enjoy as well!"

"We walked to this village pub and decided to have food. The drinks were a fair price, and there appeared a decent menu. We had some chicken fillets to start, which were okay. However, the mains are very dreadful. The chips on both meals looked as though they had been fried ten times, simply burnt as was the fish which was simply inedible. The excuse for mushy peas was dry and bland. The gammon was overcooked, and both meals were saturated with salt but no condiments on the outside table. The lady serving was pleasant enough, and we gave feedback. She advised the locals don't go anymore I won't be going back either. Part of the excuse was that they didn't decide the food Punch Taverns agreed on the menu that was irrelevant as no matter how good the food was it was massively overcooked and laced with salt."

"I came with my brother and the environment was so cozy, our host was so friendly and friendly and we just had the best time the foods can not be given error-free and so cheaply. we received at the end free drinks that were so delicious, but above all unexpected! we really felt welcome to come back, which is as beautiful as it is a local gem"

"I've visited this restaurant several times, and the food and service are both excellent. However, I have one complaint about the background music. I don’t understand why restaurateurs feel that a meal must be accompanied by music that makes conversation difficult. It’s particularly challenging for me, as I have a hearing issue and had to ask for the volume to be lowered, which they did. But honestly, soft background music should suffice—there’s no need for someone belting out songs. When this happens, which is often these days, I just want to leave."

"For those who wants to order their EARLY BIRDS, don 't only ask the waiter girls, ask the cashier. They CHANGED the early bird timing by pen in their menu from 6.30pm to 6pm. We reached around 5.48pm and seated around 5.50pm. The waiters seemed to ignore you (we tried to raise/wave our hands several times) until near 6pm. When they finally wanted to take order, we asked the girl whether we could still enjoy the early bird set and she said 'yes '. After dinner, the cashier told us that we could not get the early bird set because the order timing in their system passed 6pm. The ambience of the pub is good and relaxing. The location is strategic, near the lake. Most of the foods were delicious, the mussel starter was very good with only 1-2 unopened. The chicken rotisserie was a good one. The burger patties were moist and tasty. The sausage was good and I liked its sides. The pork was tender and could be counted as the best dish that we had in this pub. The sticky toffee pudding was very tasty."

"I visited this restaurant the other day for lunch and wasn't quite sure what to expect. Once we were seated, a friendly young waitress greeted us, handed us the menus, and inquired about our drink preferences. The Bay Tree is beautifully decorated and has a lot of character; it’s not a large place, but it has a cozy feel that made us comfortable. As I mentioned, we were uncertain about what to expect when we placed our orders. A little while later, we were served two beautifully presented meals that were absolutely delicious. We thoroughly enjoyed our meals and the entire experience at the Bay Tree Restaurant, and we will definitely return the next time we find ourselves in the area. Great food and service with a smile!"

"Visited this place twice now. The first time I tried to order dish number and they didn't have it available.. tried ordering a second meal.. didn't have it. Ended up ordering chicken pesto sandwich.. was decent, super greasy though. They Also had a hole in the floor in the toilet which was covered over by lino.. second visit months later.(today) ordered a sandwich with scrambled egg,Bacon,ham, sausage and cheeses.. when the food arrived it basically looked like a McDonald's style egg with either bacon or ham in(not convinced it had both in) either way it didn't have sausage inside. And looked to me like a very thin layer of one type of cheese. I showed it to the lady behind the counter, she apologized and said that there was no sausage left and the chef didn't tell her.. got my money back but wasted half am hour in this place.. the hole in the toilet Floor upon inspection is about two foot by foot covered up by lino.. this has gotten more unstable from months ago. Basically damp plywood and I don't think it's from water. It was disgusting serious health and safety concerns here they should be inspected..."

"We have visited this restaurant three times and each time the food has been fantastic. The only issue we encountered during our last visit was with the seating. We chose to sit by the window, but unfortunately it was very cold and we had to keep our coats on."

"I must say, this place is a fantastic hidden gem. The staff are incredibly polite, friendly, and helpful. The food is excellent, and the atmosphere is more welcoming than any other cafes in Shawlands. Additionally, the prices are very reasonable. I will definitely be returning multiple times in the future."

"We turned up for our reservation on a busy Friday only to be told that they had private parties booked and there was no table for us. They had left a message on our home phone but as we were away for the weekend we hadn’t received it. Our main issue was the offhand attitude of the staff who were rude and not at all helpful. Heard from another restaurant that they are closing in the New Year- good riddance!!"

"The greeting could be more friendly, in fact I would say there is not much that does not need improving. We have had many stays here but today was the worst experience I have had there. Asked for a table at ..told could not do so booked for But it was empty!! Two other tables. The melon starter was not ripe. The main meal was only just warm. The gravy was not even hot. In fact it had a skin on it. Not once were we asked if everything was ok. In fact it was far from OK!! As I said we have been many times...but no more!"

"a very pleasant family dinner with good menu, excellent eating and service to fit. the atmosphere of the red lion is so beautiful a real pub with eating instead of eating driven pub. an additional attraction is the selection of beating mainly from their own microbrauerei. food proportions were generous and excellent value for money. be back soon."
