Bistro 1871 - Menu

Straightforward food to an excellent standard.it is part of the hotel we were visiting. E cellent location

Had homemade fishfingers with hand cut chips-it was amazing! This was followed by sticky toffee pudding-delicious

Re visited the hotel to try out the restaurant again ad were not disappointed. Food and service were very good. Nice hotel and great view of hills from the Bistro.

We dined at the Bistro on the second night of our stay and it was just as good as the first restaurant, with a completely different menu. I had tagliatelle pasta with chicken and it was very tasty. Great wine and delicious desserts.

We recently stayed at the hotel for 2 nights and choose to eat at the Bistro both nights. The food was excellent and had a reasonable choice for both vegetarians and meat eaters. Service as with the rest of the hotel is excellent. The atmosphere was relaxed and casual. One pots are great, as are the chips and the Sticky Toffee Pudding is to die for!

We had dinner at Bistro 1871 as part of a weekend getaway at the Appleby Manor Hotel. It was a much-needed break after the lockdown during Spring and Summer. The food was excellent and the service was attentive. The hotel itself is charming and full of old-world character. We are planning to return for my wife's birthday in October and will dine at Bistro 1871 again, as well as trying out the gourmet restaurant for our second night.

Whilst staying at Appleby Manor we ate in the bistro rather than the restaurant, mainly because it has a less formal atmosphere. The food was of a very high standard. In particular the ' Mac cheese '. Enjoyed it so much as a starter on the first night that I had it as my main the following night.. Chloe, who served us both nights was very informative,she knew the menu well and provided a relaxed but professional service throughout. Highly recommended. Mr Mrs Simpson

After an excellent spa day last year, courtesy of a TravelZoo deal, my friend and I decided to treat ourselves again but to stay overnight this time. Despite some problems (entirely self made on my part with the booking! , the staff could not have been more helpful, changing things round for us before we arrived in order to suit our needs. Our twin room was a decent size with plenty of space for stuff and two chairs to sit on (so much nicer than always perching on the bed , a kettle and plenty of tea, and a local guide. The hotel guide in the room is a little dated though... We were given a brief tour of the facilities on arrival, and decided to eat in the bistro for dinner advised to book,...

This review is a bit of a fraud as I didn 't actually eat in the Bistro! I had booked for the Bistro but on arrival at Appleby Manor, on a grim, snowy Cumbrian afternoon, I was advised by the hotel staff not to do so; the Bistro was pretty cold I was told. Would I like to eat in the lounge instead?The lounge fire had just been banked up and the logs were spitting and crackling away behind a screen. It looked inviting and was. The lounge has a fine gallery, comfortable seating and was warm! More logs arrived, as did the menus and a place setting. So began a thoroughly enjoyable couple of hours.The starter had to be warm on such a grim day hence butternut squash soup which came with some inter...
