Log House Restaurant

One of the best meals i've ever had. A great experience!

After reading many positive reviews I booked a table at the Log House restaurant. The restaurant had a very pleasant atmosphere but we found the staff rather unhelpful. For starters I had the bread with dips and my partner had the goat’s cheese tartlet. His was rather bland and I found two hairs in my starter! After I found the first hair I asked for a new pot of dip assuming that this is where the hair had come from. After the second hair we realised they were actually in the bread. We politely and discreetly informed the waitress about the second hair but received no real apology. We were very surprised that such an occurrence was not more of an embarrassment for them. Our mains were good, I had the sirloin and my partner had the fish and chips. Both were enjoyable however my partner and I had somewhat lost our appetites after the hairs! Throughout or meal we were not asked if we required drinks refills or if everything was ok with or meals, a few basic questions that you would expect from a waitress in a Michelin recommended restaurant. When we received the bill we did not receive any apology for the problems with my starter, we had not been charged for the starter but this was not explained to us. We were also over-charged for our mains. A simple apology and explanation that the starter had been left off the bill would have been sufficient but I was disappointed in the way the staff handled the matter. I understand the restaurant has an AA award and has been recommended in the Michelin guide. Perhaps they worked hard to receive such recognition but have since let themselves slip. I was very disappointed with the Log House and I will not be returning.

We went to the Log House for my birthday dinner last week. We just wanted somewhere local to where we were staying so i booked it after reading the recommendation on this website. We decided to have a few drinks first in the lounge area downstairs. We were brought our menus & were able to stay down there until our starters were ready. The restaurant was very busy but the staff were extremely helpful. Amazing food, fabulous staff. Very much enjoyed the evening & we will be going again!!

This is, by far, the best restaurant I've been to! Food was sublime, staff were lovely and couldn't do enough for us. If you're ever in Ambleside; go to this restaurant!

wonderful - don't need to say any more!

Simply put, one of the most memorable dinners we have had in the Lakes, better than many that profess to be outstanding with their cuisine. Clean, very well presented food, the steamed chocolate & pistachio budino, honeycomb, vanilla ice-cream dessert is a must and all food lovers should give this restaurant a try, you will not be disappointed......Enjoy.

We stayed at The Log House for Two nights and ate there one of the nights. The food was wonderful, top marks for the chef. The staff and sevice were exceptional. The breakfasts served were very good, the quality was second to none. We have stayed at many of the Lake districts Hotels and Guest Houses and would put this at the top of our list.

As locals, we have seen three incarnation of the Log House as a restaurant and it has to be said it has gone from strength to strength. The menu is well varied and the Mediterranean style suits the quality produce used. Heath Calman's cooking is a must!
