Windermere - Réserver une table

Food and venue extremely disappointing.. noisy bar and restaurant with staff who were unprepared.. Duck pancake starter awful! shredded duck was refried to within an inch of its life and really was just bits of nothing and hard.. Bruschetta bland and didn’t taste freshly made to order .. Fillet steak just ok but lukewarm.. lamb chops lukewarm and really no finesse to them ..had to send back as so cold .. The only thing that was hot were the chips .. ! So basically we ate separately as I waited for lamb chops to be recooked.. had to wait for coffees! The chaos in the bar should have pre warned us .. one barman who was in his first shift with no help ..some staff looked very slovenly! Surely there should be a standard with your dress code .. No staff masks being worn anywhere! Barman couldn’t make cocktails and didn’t know where anything was .. About ten people in queue for drinks. They constantly told us that they were unprepared as there was a wedding in another room .. we paid over £130 for this experience! We were given our bill before asking for it as the waitress said she was going off duty ! Why as guests were still eating ? What if I wanted another drink ? If there are staffing issues please do not pass this on to the customer.. cut your tables down and don’t take so many bookings .. your restaurant is far from fine dining for the prices you charge .. your bar area was so noisy and crowded with young guests shouting that it resembled a pub not a hotel lounge ! It really has to be the worst meal and service I have had in a long time .. I have emailed the hotel manager directly but as yet have not had any response .

We went to the Windermere the night before our wedding, and were so pleased by how they were able to cater for us, and our small wedding party guests. We were all able to make separate bookings, but they sat us in three tables socially distanced from each other and separated by plastic screens, so we felt extremely secure, could see our family members, and provided a hilarious experience when it came to trying to sign to each other through the screens to check that everyone was having a good time. Again, the staff weren't wearing masks, and came quite close to deliver food, but as all other safety precautions were so on point and strictly adhered to, we're assuming they're regularly checking for negative test results or something of the kind. We loved the food so much that the next night, for our wedding night meal, we ordered some of the same food we had the first night. Cheese souffle starter and the beef wellington are to die for!

Beautiful restaurant in a beautiful hotel with the loveliest staff. Huge thank you to Nick who was beyond professional. Gave us a couple of excellent mocktails on the house as we’d had a few minor waits (which we were totally unbothered about). He also put some fresh bread in the oven for us when we asked for bread. Couldn’t have asked for better service. Mushroom soup was excellent as was the fish (both cod and sole) Really enjoyable meal

Wonderful food in a great setting! Plenty of choice on the menu at reasonable prices. Their Shepherd’s pie was delicious, as was the steak.
