The Fenwick Steak & Seafood Pub

We booked a meal for my 40th. Amazing food and great service. They even tweaked the children's menu slightly for our 4 year, she's a fussy nightmare. Two pot pies (loads of meat in the pie), one steak and bone marrow burger (husband described it as amazing) and a childs meal. Once we had finished our mains, the manager came over with a birthday card and a glass of presecco. Such a lovely gesture. Definitely a must, if you are staying local.

We stayed here on the eve of my partner’s brother’s wedding. A great location for anyone getting married at the new venue wennington hall close by. Rooms are very very nice and the food in the restaurant is also very good. We stayed in a deluxe room which had a huge bath and it was a dream

I stayed here for 2 nights to use as a base to do the Yorkshire 3 peaks as well as head towards Windermere for an after. The entire experience was brilliant. The room was fantastic, the food amazing (I had the burger one night and the steak the next, both absolutely gorgeous and perfectly cooked). Most of all the staff were so friendly and welcoming, going as far as to giving me a card on my birthday which was a fantastic little touch. Overall I would happily stay here again if I'm visiting around this area without question!

Very disappointed, went Sunday 10th 2024 for Mother’s Day. Party of 11 so had to pre order, however didn’t help. No horseradish-3 of us had ordered beef roast! Staggered service 2 meals arrived, a good 5 minutes before any more, the last meal arrived a good 15 minutes after the first! Charged £4.25 for cauliflower cheese, tasted more like white sauce than cheese. Couldn’t have ice cream as they had ran out. What is the point of pre ordering? Service very slow and uncoordinated

This is the second time I have been at the Fenwick in the last couple of weeks. The first visit was quite good. Seafood Platter delicious although we were given a huge bowl of mussels and no crevettes (we queried this and the crevettes appeared!) There was no artisan bread - they had run out - but staff were friendly and we enjoyed the meal. It was not warm and the fire had gone out - we were told it could not be re-lit as there was no kindling! However - on the back of this visit we booked to take our elderly friends out for a lovely lunch. ...A mistake! We had specifically booked a table by the fire - the fire wasn't lit - No kindling? There were two members of staff working - both very friendly and pleasant....but not hugely efficient; didn't appear to be communicating with each other and service was very slow. After a very long wait one approached us to ask if we were ready for our 'mains'....our reply was that we hadn't had our starters yet! The soup was poor - tasted like mashed up leftovers; the chicken skewers were minimal in size - just two very small mini fillets (overcooked and rubbery) on a stick and a bit of greenery - £8.99! However the cheese fritters and whitebait were good. The gammon and egg was interesting - a thick gammon steak but it was not tender and was grey in colour and no egg - They had run out of eggs! A hotel running out of eggs on a Thursday lunchtime - come on!!! The Fritto Misto was good - freshly cooked and hot with crispy batter but a very small portion of two calamari rings, a small prawn and a small slither of fish. We were embarrassed at the quality of the food and service - when we had sung the praises of this hotel to our friends. Very disappointing - and sadly we will not return.

The outside of the establishment is now looking tired. The staff on arrival were pleasant. We had a lunchtime booking and were advised that all the specials had run out. I ordered the root veg curried soup, it lacked seasoning and was more of a watery broth. The sourdough bread tasted off/ stale. I ordered braised steak which was okay. However, the sauce had an odd texture and left a vinegar aftertaste, the dauphine potatoes were greasy, overcooked and generally not pleasant. My husband had the Goan curry, again the sauce tasted like it came from a jar and had a vinegar aftertaste. We ordered a side of Lancashire cheese mash, it was reheated and only just warm, I'm unsure as to what made it 'cheese' mash We paid £99 for our experience and will not be returning. Suffice to say we really wanted a dessert have now tucked into outstanding food elsewhere!

Friendly, attentive staff; beautiful, cosy room; and incredible food. Will definitely be back to stay or even just to eat there again.

The room was well laid out and comfortable, good size bathroom and shower. We booked a meal in the bar, which was unfortunately below our expectations, the wine list didn’t correspond with the wine that they actually had. The description of food on the menu and special board was misleading and unfortunately when the food arrived we were disappointed. Breakfast was ok, the coffee, tea, cereal station was very limited and the coffee ran out and was not checked or replaced. The service in the bar both during dinner and breakfast was unenthusiastic.

Excellent value, excellent staff lovely rooms. Quaint little lodges
