MARVELLOUS! Simple, homely and absolutely exquisite! The asparagus soup with the poached egg was light and balanced. The seabass with crunchy skin and crushed potatoes were delicious. And the lemon meringue pie with raspberry flakes utterly delectable.. Loved it. Loved it. Loved it. Thank you very much for this amazing meal and impeccable friendly service. I look forward to being back alone or with friends. Max

Had an amazing meal here tonight. The set menu is great value and a wine pairing is suggested for each dish if you want to try it. Had the lamb - best I've ever eaten. If you are in Penrith would highly recommend. Service was perfect and nice relaxed atmosphere. Thanks Four & Twenty Team

Comfortably our best dining experience in the Lake District. The food was exactly what I want from a good restaurant - innovative and delicious combinations that I would never manage to create myself. Our waiter was attentive and charming and the general vibe was relaxed and unpretentious. My wife had the very reasonable 3 course set menu for 30 and I went a la carte, but although the final bill was quite high, we felt the price was justified by the quality. Highly recommended.

Tried this amazing restaurant today for a surprise birthday meal out and having travelled about 2hrs from Newcastle - you can’t fault even a dust to their food, ambiance, staff, everything! From our starter, mushroom soup, which was veryyyyyyyy nice to our mains. My vegetarian meal was just unbelievably tasty. They even had a nice birthday card and cake. Thank you xx A MUST TRY!

We had a lovely meal here. Very friendly and helpful. Some surprises and satisfyingly personal takes on familiar dishes. But the chef definitely gets all the important things right. Good wine suggestions, with a large selection available by the glass. My best meal out in a long while, thanks.
