The Lighthouse, Windermere

My husband and I ate here back in July, I had a chicken dish. Within the early hours of the next morning I became very ill and spent 2 days in bed vomitting at had a very bad tummy upset. I contacted the restuarant once we returned home, they were very unsympathetic and asked me to cease my allegations. If you do not want to become ill, I suggest you do not eat here. On our last visit we ate at Fat Olives and the food was outstanding.

In a word, horrendous. And that's being polite.

The mushroom starter was oil drenched - mind you i think it was supposed to be like that. Either way, it was awful. The pasta was soggy and clearly reheated. The salmon and veg overcooked. However the peas were acceptable.

Hideously over priced. How the proprietor can get away with delivering food of such dire quality at this price is beyond belief. Even if it was free it wouldn't be worth it.

Oh and the floor in the toilets was disgusting.

This is the second time we have visited the lakes, and this lighthouse restuarant, my main course of spag bol was delicious, however the service was very slow, we felt like we were seated then forgotten about. I had a prawn cocktail for starter, which seemed very dry, and some of the lettuce was clearly old. We went straight back to our guest house after, 8 hours later all hell broke loose, i had bad sickness and diarreah, after a day of not being able to leave my room, i approached the Manager of this reatuarant, and his attitude, customer service skills were totally un called for, he was a rude arrogant defensive person. I never once requested a refund, i simply told him what had happened and what i suspected. I have taken the matter further. Please think twice before going to this place, there is a place called firenze just down the road, that is clean, friendly and delecious. Dont ruin your special weekend or week away by taking a chance in the Lighthouse

Absolutely disgusting food at The Lighthouse!dont be fooled by good reviews. Food was old and seemed to have been re heated before serving-hence the reason it arrived in about 5min!extremely over priced for poor quality. Waiting staff very unhelpful. Take a walk into Bowness for quality restaurants. Honest review of shocking food!

The Food was excellent and the lady who waited on our table was great. She had a great smile and was so willing to help us in our choice from the menu. Nothing was too much for her. The food was great and we had a great time. W again!ill definately go back to the The Lighthouse, Windermere

We have visited the Lighthouse a couple of times now and have never been disappointed. A great place to eat!

Could not have had a more different experience! Although we went during half term and it was very busy, the staff accommodated us quickly, and i enjoyed a lovely glass of mulled wine. Went back for dinner without the kids (!) and the atmosphere was lovely. Beautiful place, lots of stairs!

At The Lighthouse we waited 10 minutes for our table to be cleared of dirty dishes, nobody spoke to us at all. The table was not wiped, we then waited another 5 minutes, still nobody spoke to us, so we decided to leave. We then went and told a manager why we were leaving and he said that they were very busy. Will not be going again.
