Coniston Cold Restaurants

Absolutely loved the Freemasons, the staff and food were amazing we will be back

We have visited several times, including twice in the last ten days. We had the taster menu last week, and every course was delicious. We had Sunday lunch yesterday, and, although the restaurant was incredibly busy, the food was as outstanding as ever - my ox cheek suet pudding was superb! - and the service was impeccable. The young waiters / waitresses were efficient, attentive and friendly - well done! Everybody at The Rum Fox is to be congratulated on what they have achieved, and we look forward to many future vivits.

2nd time we have been for lunch and it was exceptional each time. Definitely our kind of dining, everything about ‘Eight’ is superb. The food is fresh, tasteful and so very well presented. There definitely will be more than a 3rd visit for us! Added bonus is looking at the beautiful animals

Our first time at The Hawthorn. Was a lovely restaurant. Greeted by very helpful polite staff. Very accommodating. Nothing was too much trouble. Efficient and professional. Pleasant and polite. I had the flat iron Steak with peppercorn sauce and crispy skin on fries. Absolutely delicious. Couldn’t find fault. Service was very prompt. The fries were the best I’ve ever tasted. My husband had the Burger with fries and he really enjoyed it too. Plenty of choices from the wine and beverage section. Prosecco was very nice as was the Ilkley beer. We didn’t have room for desert. Again nice choices from a traditional menu. Very nice indeed and we will definitely be returning.

Thoroughly enjoyed our food and drinks. Lovely setting. Luckily we live close by to enjoy it all
