The Orangery - Menu

We enjoyed a delicious lunch in a peaceful setting that exceeded our expectations. We will definitely be returning and highly recommend this charming restaurant. While it may be a bit pricey, the quality of the food makes it well worth the cost.

Stunning location unbelievable views of Ullswater. Silver service lunch immaculate. Food was impressively served at a cost. Would recommend as an excellent experience just for the beautiful views and the genteel setting impressive afternoon teas available.

We called into to Glenridding for a comfort break The Inn on the lake offering its own private parking was a must on a very busy sunny Sunday! The food is expensive but very well presented and the portion sizes reasonable. A very pleasant visit and will definitely call again! We may even take a room next time View menu

We enjoyed an overnight stay at the IOTL to celebrate our wedding anniversary after marrying here 2 years before. Everything about this wonderful hotel is superb; the accommodation, the location, the staff, the food and drink, the landscape, the ambience, the comfort, the cleanliness, the new terrace We will be back!

Stunning hotel, should easily be a 5 star establishment. Beautiful 360 views, at the foot of the mountains and just by a large lake with clear water. Staff are very accommodating. We went in as a large group of 40 as a last minute decision and we’re accommodated to private dine. Such an unforgettable day and attentive staff.

We ate here two nights out of the three we were staying at the hotel. The first night, two of the main courses had run out, even though we were there at 7.00pm on a Friday! No alternatives were offered and this was very limiting, as they were meat/fish dishes. The following evening, the menu was replenished, though the soup was the same as the previous night. I had the reinstated fish pie and my husband the reinstated lamb stew. The vegetables were well cooked (firm as we both like), but bland and fairly tasteless. No herbs or seasoning... just boiled and dumped on the plate. My fish pie was more potato than fish in sauce, and there was very little sauce for the fish, never mind the bland ve... View menu

We were booked in as part of the wedding party. The place is stunning and could not fault the staff and the food was excellent! The problem I had was travelling up on the day and would have liked some where to get changed. We were requested to arrive by 12 as the ceremony was at 1:00 I emailed the hotel and below is the reply (for rooms that are over £200 per night and we were guest at the wedding) We had a look on line and they actually had rooms free that day “We recommend booking the night before to guarantee you are in the room early in the morning of the wedding. In case your room will not be available before 2.00pm, we can offer the use of the disabled toilet, next to the reception are...

Went to the restaurant for lunch in this beautifully set location. We decided to dine here instead of the nearby cafe to treat ourselves whilst on holiday, when we came across this picturesque town. We greeted warmly at the hotel reception. Unfortunately it was a very poor dining experience, service was slow and we had to chase at every stage of service and it was as if they had forgotten our mains. Had to order my toddlers meal at the bar to ensure he would be fed. And when our food finally arrived, it wasn’t reflective of what we ordered for example, Moroccan dish, which was described to include ingredients such as cranberries but when the dish arrived, it was a British Indian style curry...

We ate here on our first of two nigths staying at the next door Ullswater Inn in Glenridding. The Orangery is a beautiful room. It is spacious. with nice views out. They could have crammed more tables in, but they haven 't which gives the dining experience a lovely ambience. The service was very good. So why only an average rating? It 's because we didn 't feel the food was better than average. We started by sharing foccacia with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. For £7.50 we got two small pieces of average foccacia with a very vinegary dip. It wasn 't good and even it had been it wouldn 't have been worth it. For main course, one of us had steak and ale pie with seasonal veg and mash with gra... View menu
