Yewdale - Menu

We visited tonight with a dog. Really enjoyed our meals and in particular the Baileys cheesecake with a Baileys poured over. Waiters were very attentive.

Excellent service on Saturday afternoon while we enjoyed the sunshine outside table service was much appreciated. We came back Saturday night for food (booked in advance) and food and service both superb. Highly recommended.

What a joke of a place I visited twice this week for food and drinks and got neither I went to the bar to be told it’s table service only … yes I gathered had been sat waiting 20 minutes !!! I sat down and waited a bit longer then gave up if the waiters had not been sat around taking orders for two people 10 minutes they might get more done !! Went to the pub opposite serviced in minutes yes from the bar !!! And first class food !!

Service was good, fish and ships were ok, however I had pizza it was terrible I ordered a di palma my go to when out. The palma ham was as thick as bacon, parmasan shavings was greated Parmesan that I had to ask for as non on) cherry tomato had a very small slithering of tomato, mozzarella non fresh basil non. Driest pizza I’ve ever had. Told the waitress and was told sorry about that…. Don’t order pizza as they are not what advertised.

Called in on Friday evening and asked for the price of beer was old £4.95 to which I ordered two..then was told its table service only..the beers had been poured when a waitress came to take our order...£10 39p...due to a service charge...so not create a fuss we duly paid had said beer which was fine...however I feel I was deceived and I know its not a lot of money but its the principal....as a frequent visitor to coniston I will be using other establishments...

Usually spend the majority of my week in Coniston eating and drinking here. First day it was busy but plenty of tables available. Staff said they were fully booked. Black Bull got my trade. Next day it was warm enough to sit outside. Went in twice to ask about service and was told I would just have to wait. Waiter served customers sitting nearby (arrived after us) and ignored us. Sat for twenty minutes and left for the Black Bull!! Next evening went to order a take out pizza and was told I would have to find a table and wait for a waiter!! Good job the chipper was open!!!

As usual, worth the visit just for the Lowswater gold. 4 stars mainly because of one member of staff, to be fair, only saw one in 2h I spent outside. Slavka(sorry if I got name wrong) from Czech Republic. She was running alone al the tables outside tonight(19th of May 2021) whilst at least 4-5 other members of staff where sat inside ignoring customers. I walked in at one point to see where is the pizza I ordered and was ignored by two members of staff(too busy talking between themselves). Maybe having a manager on duty would be helpful, unless manager was on duty and didn’t care at all.

I don’t know what’s going on in the local area but this place is getting heavily criticised elsewhere. The local staff in other pubs seem to have an issue and are telling people to stay away because it’s so bad, which was certainly not our experience. We pre booked a table. It was available when we arrived. The staff were all friendly and polite had we been in a hurry then it might have felt like slow service, but we weren’t so it was fine. It was also 7pm and obviously a busy period of time with lots of people turning up in large parties looking to be seated without a reservation. The food we ordered arrived promptly and was very nice. I had the chicken, my partner had a pizza which was rea...

I visit Coniston regularly have for the past few years! I always visit this pub, as it’s a lovely spot to sit outside in the sunshine with a good real ale.. I will be avoiding it in the foreseeable, until they let you get a drink from the bar! It’s now all table service, which is fine if your eating, but just for drinks is a joke. I could have had 2 pints in the time in took to take my order there was no one sat inside only a couple of tables outside.. in fact, I’ve never seen it as quiet! There was staff on the bar, which you have to pass to go the toilets, but you can’t stop order a drink.. You must go sit down wait… I then saw some people getting served at the bar, so I went to order, onl...
