Churchills - Bowness-on-Windermere

Beautiful beer garden and a good pint at a decent price for the opposite

Exceptionally clean, you will not be disappointed, gd value to a high standard, management are very caring and professional.

The decor in this place is a little strange..... EVERYTHING is silver! A little odd in Bowness a quite olde worldy type of village. However, this doesnt affect the food and is definitely just my weird quirk! The bar has a very wide selection of drinks, ranging from all sorts of beers, wines and spirits; but is expensive to say the least. We went here as we could get a reservation where we wanted and this seemed an okay place, the menu is very gastro pub-esque, but in some respects in very confused. We ordered a venison burger with all the usual trimmings and char gilled chicken in a creamy bacon sauce. The venison was very nice if not a little overcooked and truth be told i would have preferred it if i had been asked how i wanted it served. The confusion comes into play when examining the chicken dish, the carbonara style sauce is without question an Italian derivation, but mixing Chinese veg into the mix was a huge curve ball! The onion rings were given a great billing by the waitress, however the reality was bland onion rings that very quickly went cold. An okay place to eat but nothing special.

The atmosphere is great BUT the food is...er...no comment..feel free to choose elsewhere...

I had a wonderful stay at this restaurant. The space was great, and the bed was incredibly comfortable and spacious. I would definitely come back again! The owner was exceptionally friendly and helpful—when my son's car broke down, she even tried to jumpstart it and offered to drive him to Kendal for a new battery.
