The Priest Hole

Lovely food great menu friendly staff quirky place would recommend

Food was good, service was excellent, would be perfect if they sold cask ales.

It was ok, food was average and service was ok

Lovely place with a lovely atmosphere! It was steak night and the food was great!

Thought on the expensive side. Devore not brilliant. Presentation could be improved.

Great atmosphere nice and casual feel with great food on offer

Good food at a good price. Attentive staff as well.

The food was great, staff friendly. We will definitely return.

Het was heel gezellig en de bediening was prima. Het eten was goed en voedzaam.

The service, setting and atmosphere was wonderful. The food was to die for and the bill a welcome surprise. Thanks to a great staff team

Friendly staff. Lovely food. Great atmosphere. Will definitely book again.

Gorgeous Sunday roast, service a little slow as it wasn’t that busy.

Good location, very pleasant staff, the Sunday roast was exceptional. Good sized portions, plus extras available, if needed.

The starters were ok but then we waited 55 minutes for the mains and I had to chase this no communication or reason why. When the mains came they both looked like they had been quickly microwave not pan fried as stated. I would never go there again. M

Delicious, top quality food at an affordable price for many. Superb choice on the menu. Excellent, friendly staff and service. Highly recommend. Pre-book to avoid disappointment in busy periods.

Friendly staff, excellent food, interesting place. Very nice evening. Thank you.

Tolles Essen. Nettes Personal und ein super Service. Sehr gerne wieder.

Food was good. Had choice of tables as wasn’t busy. Staff were very friendly and chatty. Didn’t wait long for food. Good value for money. Would return.

really enjoyed our meal, seemed pooular place. Staff attentive, food good standard. Would visit again

Arrived early. Plenty of choice of food on menu. Staff were pleasant and helpful. Had roast pork and lamb. Good presentation, but not very hot. Crumble for desert very nice. 2nd year we have been here when visiting Ambleside .

Service was good. There was a lack of vegetables as stated on the menu. The meal could have been warmer. My partner's lamb was quite fatty.

Really enjoyed our meal this evening. A group of 6 plus baby. Each meal was lovely both in taste and presentation. When one of the party took the baby out for a wander a server came over and asked if we would like her food put under the hot plate. Such an enjoyable meal and excellent service from the team.

Lovely meal, had the Sunday roast, plenty of meat and Yorkshire pud. The meal could have been a little warmer. Nice friendly staff will call again

First time at the Priest Hole. We thoroughly enjoyed the food and the service. Will definitely recommend

What a lovely place to eat quirky environment with friendly staff and the food was delicious

Good food. Busy so service a little slow. Would recommend booking.

Food was fabulous. One waiter a little miserable - knocked over a glass which luckily was empty and didn’t even apologise. Otherwise a very enjoyable experience.

Generous Sunday roast serving. Clean and staff very friendly we choose it mainly because it dosent allow dogs in and we dined her two years ago and are glad you have remained dog free

Delicious Sunday Roast. Very generous portions. Additional side of Pigs in Blankets and cauliflower cheese (more than plenty for x2 people). Really friendly and accommodating as we were early. Big thumbs up from us

Service was good. Reasonable price. Restaurant is nice inside. Food wasn’t quite on form. Jake was very salty and chicken a bit over cooked.

Had the trio of meat sunday roast. It was amazing, brilliant service, friendly staff. Highly recommend a visit.

The food was excellent. The service was slightly slow but it didn’t matter to us. The staff were lovely and the atmosphere was great. Would definitely return.

It was Steak night ,the food as always was great ,lovely staff ,lovely place

Excellent food and service staff are brilliant thanks to you all

Service parfait! Endroit très agréable. Cuisine excellente! Qualité depuis des années toujours au rendez-vous! Je recommande!

Good as usual. Steak pie is great. Beer on tap would be good tho

Sunday roast, was told the pork came with stuffing but none arrived, apparently it’s a side dish… IN WHAT WORLD! They did give us some, 2 tiny pack balls… Rest of the food was decent though How could you do better? Stuffing is standard with a Sunday roast!

A wonderful place, fantastic atmosphere, unbelievable food and superb service 😊 An exceptional dining experience. Thank you so much 😁 Steve Downie CEO Breakthrough Recovery Chorley Group

Good food generous portions, steak pie was very nice served with carrots and broccoli

The food was good but my partner's steak and ale pie was a little dry. Whilst gravy was provided she does not like a lot of gravy.

Food was fabulous and reasonably priced. Would recommend it to others

Great staff and good food, and very good value had

Nice place to eat. Service was fab, food was lovely. Thank you.

Excellent food and great staff a small oasis in Ambleside.

Sunday roast was very hot. Asked for it to be reheated, Also surprised it didn’t come with any green vegetables

Service was very slow and staff were not particularly friendly

Disappointing, drinks were delivered after later orders, staff paid more attention to lighting and fans than customer service, pastries and batter were burned and left a bad taste in the mouth. Perhaps we were just unlucky, but certainly not as we remembered it from previous visits.

First time but would go back. food was lovely, but could have been a little hotter meals not hot hot just warm.

It was a ‘good’ overall evening meal out. It was a Friday evening so was busy and it had a good atmosphere, lots of talking and laughing. As a result the service was understandably a bit slow but acceptable, but still the staff were happy and friendly. The food was good and we left feeling content. We visit Ambleside four times throughout the year on weekends away and always try to eat at The Priest Hole, usually for lunch as it’s become a bit of a ‘tradition’ for us and we look forward to returning again later in the year.

Lovely relaxed place .Great food and service. Great value all round.
