At Wasdale Head Inn - Copeland

Friendly staff, fast service, good hot food, good portion size. Good ambiance. Wide selection of drinks. Very busy but the staff were really on top of things. Would recommend and would definitely visit again.

Our family were turned away when wanting an evening meal, with the excuse that ‘the ovens are broken’, although residents were being served. The implication is that residents have dedicated ovens yeah right… Roughly translated, it’s been a quiet evening so we’ve closed early. Needless to say, we shan’t be returning.

Lovely home cooked food. Great choice on the menu, just what you need after a long walk on the fells. Beautiful views around Scarfell pike. Great selection of drinks and you always get a lovely warm welcome.

The hotel staff here were very helpful when we needed to use a telephone and toilet before our hike! We decided we would stop for an evening meal and although it was nice I thought the prices were overpriced in comparison to the quality of the food.

We tried to order one of the dishes that was listed as gluten free on the menu, however (after the waitress had said the dish was gf) were told by the chef that the menu was wrong and the dish was not gluten free. When we asked what we could order that was gluten free, we were told that we could not order anything at all that would be gluten free, despite 4 dishes being marked on the menu as gf. We were told that the menu was wrong… It’s a real shame, as we’ve had great experiences of gluten free food here in the past and we were planning to eat and drink here for all 4 nights of our stay. I would advise avoiding the restaurant for anyone who needs to eat gluten free, as there are no gf options at all.
