"Only a very small curry house! Glad we booked. Obviously very popular with the locals and not hard to see why. The food was fantastic, great taste and lots to offer. We went for the set menu which was explained really well when we had questions on it. The staff were great! Really attentive and so so friendly. Even if passing through I'd recommend No.3 in a heartbeat. Dietary restrictions: Staff were so friendly that talking to them about dietary needs was not a problem at all!"

"Amazing food, every dish was full of flavour. Menu had a good variety for food and drinks, cocktails were top notch. Can’t decide which one was my favourite as they were all great. Staff were lovely and very attentive. Would definitely go back and would highly recommend to anyone."

"I twice bought a pie here during a week's stay in Ambleside. While not cheap, they were vegetarian, tasty and very generously filled (and much much better value than Ambleside's rather over-priced restaurants). They also sell a range of salads in pots (the roasted veg were excellent) and local bottled beer (at a slightly lower price some some of the more specialist shops)."

"Absolutely delightful place! The food was delicious, we had nachos (huge portion), meat skewers, gambas, calamari, quesadillas and lamb burgers. All of it was amazing, each dish as good as the next, excellent portion sizes and very reasonably priced. We had a lovely waiter, a...young lad, who was very attentive and friendly. Next time we're in Kendal, we'll be back! Thank you!"

"Live in Windermere would say over the years I have been to most places for afternoon tea . Cedar manor however was quite possibly THE best . Little soup to start , then mini quiche with salad , chilled beautiful sandwiches , warm scones delicious cakes . It was absolutely perfect . Even the cup of tea was sensational . It’s 5 stars from me . Would definitely recommend will definitely be returning . Loved it ."

"Urban Food House has a couple of vegan options including cheese, so I visited for lunch on an extremely wet Lake District day and seemed everyone thought the same, as it got very busy. I read the fantastic Tripadvisor reviews, so had high expectations and to be honest I was disappointed. I ordered Earl Grey tea with oat milk and when it arrived my gut instinct told me it was not oat (was very white, whereas all oat milk I have used is not). The waitress came to take our order, so I queried it and she took the jug away without saying a word, just a huff (so I presume she made a mistake). There was no apology and its a good job I didn't drink it as I am allergic (not life threatening though). She returned with a replacement, which I left as it had a weird thick and gloopy texture, more like oat cream. I ordered the vegan version of the vegetable flatbread, basically without feta, although I should have asked for vegan cheese, but I was still annoyed about the cock up with the milk and it slipped my mind to ask. Hubby ordered a vegan burger without vegan cheese, as he is watching his saturated fat intake after a heart bypass. The flatbread looked amazing with beautiful vivid colours, yet fell a bit flat on flavour, although a good grind of salt and pepper was a big improvement. If I made this dish I would add a big dollop of smoked houmous on top, with a good drizzle of sriracha sauce and it would elevate the dish to magnificent. The burger was very good, it was in fact two burgers on a ciabatta roll with lovely crisp chips and he wolfed it down, would have been better with the cheese, but his health comes first. I was a little underwhelmed with the whole experience and the waitress had a cold unfriendly attitude for a front of house position. We are returning to Bowness on Windermere later on in the year, but do not think I will be revisiting Urban Food House."
