New Dungeon Ghyll - Menu

Called in on the off chance in the middle of a long walk, just before noon, breakfast was still available but we were also offered the lunch menu if we wanted it, had a couple of rolls, delicious ham in one, and then went on our way. Staff very attentive and friendly, food was good.

We had lunch in the Hikers Bar after a long walk and found it to be very pleasant. A small lunchtime menu (with Specials) but the food was excellent quality and unpretentious (I had a veggie curry and my wife had soup) and really nicely presented. There is also a good range of beers. The bar is designed for hikers so is rather basic but the tables are lovely scrubbed pine and very clean. The staff were helpful and friendly. We would certainly return to this venue.

The wait to order at the Walkers Bar was long, but the friendly staff member and quick service made up for it. We enjoyed burgers for dinner and sandwiches for lunch during our stay. The food tasted good, although the dry bread buns were disappointing as they fell apart easily (likely frozen and then defrosted). While this pub may not offer the best value for money, it is a convenient option for a quick meal and rest after a long walk. We would consider returning if in the area again.

Visited hotel over a few days and met a few fellow walkers, nice lounge area, saw staff being overworked, so not suprized rooms were unclean. Small food portions, overheard staff talking about portions too, management was cold with no people skills and hid away from any conversations.. food way overpriced and charge 1.50 for choc bar. Lovely views and walks in the area but when asking about the food the chefs were cold and hostile. My advice would be bring food with you and a bottle opener

Such lovely lovely people serving great food with idyllic views. We had boar burger and chips which were really good but breakfast lunch and cakes all on offer . Tables in their lovely garden have stunning views up stickle pike and the langdale mountains and valley. If raining they have covered tables and the bar inside is lovely too light and airy. (Btw I think one or two reviews below may be for the old dungeon ghyll hotel. e.g. reference to serving hatch No serving hatch here lovely waiter service instead).

This was our first visit and found our stay for two nights was great and we would return without hesitation. My wife and I were in a superior room 20 and initially was surprised to see the state of the pine furniture. It needs feeding with wax. However that aside I have no complaints. The room itself was comfortable, bathroom well equipped, lounge warm with adequate seating. The staff very efficient and extremely friendly. The 5 course menu, in the lovely dining room, with a wide choice of dishes, was really superb. Thanks to all staff for a great stay

Having spent Christmas in the Lake District with the dogs, we had hoped to have Boxing day lunch at the New Dungeon Ghyll. A few days before Christmas we popped in for breakfast just to see what it was like, and heck we were disappointed beyond belief. The atmosphere was cold as was the welcome from the staff. The Christmas decorations were non existent except from a pair of sparkling skis, and we were made to feel as welcome as a poo in a swimming pool. We asked for some breakfast as there was still time before breakfast ended, but were told as it was only 20 minutes before the Chef ended his shift, he had packed up and gone home....great !!. So having decided definitely to cancel our lunch...

We visited with family this month. The room was a VERY basic twin room, it had numerous cobwebs in the bathroom, nowhere to put your toiletries, clearly not cleaned properly from previous occupants, not enough hangers in the wardrobe, my headboard was on a 45 degree angle, it stunk of smelly dog. The Bar area was ok, but didn 't feel right sitting in there (as a hotel guest) when all sundry can walk in. The dining room, dirty menu covers, no fresh linen on the table, no linen tablecloths, no bread rolls, and yet they say on their menu they have homemade bread I think we saw it twice in 4 days, (probably an uncut loaf from the shop) service of some of the staff was dreadful, the food was very...

Was recommended this place. Looked good. Small menu so hopefully fresh and in a beautiful setting. Sign on blackboard in bar said ‘ask us for vegetarian options’ being vegetarian I did just this and was told I could have the chicken Caesar salad without the chicken, bacon and anchovies… so a bowl of lettuce with some Parmasan shavings then… or the pasta without the chicken… both at the same coast as with meat. That was it. Absolutely awful. So, now don’t laugh, went for the roast beef dinner with no gravy and fed the beef to my dogs, if I have to pay for it then they can eat it. So had a couple of roast potatoes, parsnips and carrots with some mixed greens and a Yorkshire pud for £16! We all...
