Sandford Arms - Appleby-in-Westmorland

Had a wonderful lunch in this quirky old hotel in a room full of lovely giftware and exclusive wines for sale. I had a delicious kedgeree and my wife had an omelette.

We arrived late for lunch and received a friendly greeting. The atmosphere of the bar/cafe was slightly unusual but the food was top-notch. The salmon sharing platter was delicious and plentiful. It was beautifully presented and served with attention to detail. We had a great lunch experience, thank you.

We went here for drinks the staff were very nice. We also went to the shop in hotel and bought a case of wine. We are back in appleby in a couple of weeks and can’t wait to go for a meal.

I have visited this restaurant a few times in the last 6 months with my mother and grandmother. It is situated on a charming cobbled street in the heart of beautiful Appleby. The menu offers a wide variety of dishes, and I attempted to convince my mother to treat me to the £27 steak, but she declined. I settled for a delicious Bakewell tart and coffee instead. My grandmother enjoyed a warm scone, a rarity in the scone industry. I would love to come back and try some of the main dishes in the future. The staff were very helpful and friendly as well.

To be honest. Home cooking does not do the food justice, What an excellent menu so varied ,David and his team are excellent!
