The Cavendish Arms in Craven

Fantastic pub. Delicious food, friendly and energetic and professional staff. He guided the meal with great recommendations. "I could live here" the quote from the table. The Cartmel Thoroughbred was a very nice pint, and the homemade STP a perfect, if decadent end for the meal. Will happily return.

Our overnight stay and meal were excellent. Our room was spotless the food exceptional. Paul was so friendly and welcoming he took time to make us feel at home. We will definitely be returning to this fantastic place

Loved this pub restaurant. Great food, drinks and the best Sticky toffee pudding going. Staff very friendly, and great service. Book ahead, it's popular.

Eight of us booked a table here and everyone was completely satisfied with their meal. This place is probably the best value for money in Cartmel; it's not the cheapest but the quality of food is brilliant and the staff are really good. The quality is just below "fine dining".

Brilliant service from start to finish, we were very lucky to get a seat next to the open fire. The staff could not have been freindlier when it came to more drinks l, the food or anything. The food was absolutely devine and the drinks were real loose tea, and everything else came in lovely glasswear. Genuinely nothing was too much trouble and we were all made to feel welcome from the minute we walked in. The food came out quickly and all of the dishes we had were beautiful. The desserts alone were worth the drive as they were on another level! I would not hesitate in recommending this establishment to anyone. The manager who I had a chat with briefly at the bar was so friendly. 100% will be returning. Many thanks to the establishment for an amazing meal.

Wonderful cosy environment with food that repeatedly exceeded expectation. Delicious! Staff very friendly. We kept returning during our stay and we’ll be back… again!

Fantastic food with a lovely, welcoming atmosphere. All of the staff are always so friendly and attentive. The menu is always varied and they have a great selection of specials on. The food is beautifully prepared, using local produce and it is always exceptional. We frequently return as the food is so good!Really lovely pub, highly recommend for a wonderful meal and good selection of gins & ales, with a warm & friendly atmosphere.

Excellent food and service, seen the Google 2 star google rating and was a bit concerned however this place had by far the best food I have had from a restaurant and I work away every week so this is brilliant.honestly the food is unbelievable. If you are local to this pub or just passing by please do try it as we were very impressed by the service and the quality of the food. We would definitely recommend a visit here it's a lovely homely place!!

Absolutely incredible. We had olives to start: delicious. The lamb and the venison for the main were cooked exactly right and the side of chips were absolute perfection. But the chocolate pudding was a whole other world, like a dream come true.More expensive than a run of the mill pub but totally worth every penny.85pounds 1 bottle wine 2 meals 1 dessert 1 side 1 starter

We’ve been here a few times and had great food but Sunday lunch today was really disappointing. Everything came in one bowl, it was swimming in gravy. The roast potatoes and beef were really hard to cut up, cutlery didn’t help. All in all, £48 for 2 drinks and 2 Sunday lunches seems incredibly overpriced, given the standard of food . I think you pay for the location and the ambience as opposed to the quality of the food. We were in and out in 40 minutes.
