Copper Fells Brasserie

We stayed at the park for a few nights and decided to eat here on the first evening to see how it was before deciding for the rest of the trip. The food is very 'ok ' nothing particularly special except it is presented very attractively. Prices are quite reasonable, and the drink selection is pretty good. One thing I cannot understand is the overuse of dried parsley which all of our chips were coated in, and I asked if the onion rings were homemade or frozen, I was told homemade and they definitely were not. The staff and the service here though is exceptional, which to me (with over 20 years of hospitality experience) and this can be the difference between a disappointing evening and a good...

Was told it was essential to pre-book, called in and was advised they only had 1 space available and it had to be right at the time of the phone call, arrived and the place was empty and this did not change by the time we left. The menu was over priced , both food and drinks. Additionally, we ordered a thai red curry , but upon its arrival I had to ask if the correct curry arrived as upon appearance it looked nothing like a thai curry. There was a chick pea curry and a dahl on the menu and upon further tasting it could have been either of these options, but it certainly wasn 't remniscant of a thai curry in any way. It was eaten as we were told we definitely received the correct item however...

Very clean restaurant and bar with a nice ambiance and well looked after toilets. We were a party of six and had a window seat with a pleasant view.

Sunday lunch didn't look like much when it was served but it's presentation was deceptive, the roast beef was plentiful, tender and tasty and the jus (gravy) was superb. There were enough potatoes and vegetables to satisfy the average appetite but additional servings can be ordered if required. My wife had the roast chicken and was also suitably impressed. Starter was chicken wings in a barbeque sauce which turned out to be enough for two people. Choice of deserts was limited and as is all too common in British restaurants were overpriced, it would have been nice to have seen a cheeseboard on the desert menu but all in all a very pleasant Sunday afternoon lunch.

Pizza night . No reservation needed . 9 of us were going for pizza night. We had already enquired about gluten free pizza and told to let them know on the day which we did to be told should have let them know earlier . Do they not cater for gluten free people all of the time. Unfortunately they have probably lost over £200 of income as we all decided not to leave a family member behind
