Amazing restaurant , the food was fresh and portions good. I had steak, my partner had steak and ale pie, both were delicious. would definately recommend, suspect better to book as it got really busy, and the gin cocktail was great

Have to say after not being here for a good 4/5 years the quality of food and service has not changed it is still top notch and the staff are so friendly and make you feel at home. Will definitely return yet again but hopefully...won’t have to leave it so long next timeMore

Visited tonight for my birthday & was really impressed. The food was amazing as was the staff! We will certainly be visiting again in December for our 45th wedding anniversary. We'll done the priest hole ,excellent food & service 😋

Went for an evening meal with my husband food was delicious we had the Lamb Kebab and Fish Pie our waitress Nicola was really friendly and made our experience would definitely recommend 😊

Food is very good and we really enjoyed what we ate. The service however was pretty poor. We stood waiting to be seated for over 5 minutes. This was whilst staff stood talking behind the bar. When we were eventually seated we waited another 10...minutes before anyone brought us menus or asked us if we wanted a drink. One staff member explained they were short staffed but I watched them talking at length behind the bar. Our drinks were left on the bar for ages, to the point I was about to go and collect them myself. Being busy is absolutely ok, being disorganised isn’t for me. I wouldn’t rush back.More

We booked this based on the excellent reviews, but quite honestly it was anything but excellent. It was steak night, the meal was just warm and the steak was nothing special. Service was ok, waitress was friendly, but we wouldn’t go back or recommend it.

We did go to this restaurant for a Sunday roast, but when we got there they had unfortunately run out of beef and lamb for the day. We did not go until 7pm on a Sunday evening and appreciate they have only got so much...meat for their roasts ( we could of had Gammon). The food we had was still very nice and all the waitresses were so friendly and efficient. Thank you for a good meal and next time we are in Ambleside we will turn up a bit earlier, as the Yorkshire puddings on the next table looked delicious.More

We had a delightful Sunday dinner. The lamb roast was delicious. Our waitress, Lauren was so good & attentive. We had a great cheese appetizer & good ice cream for dessert. FYI, I had made a reservation about a month before we were there.

Just a little review before I forget…. My husband and I ate here back in June. They were very busy but squeezed us in and as before we had a very lovely meal in this very old quirky place it’s always a good atmosphere and...we have found the staff working there very nice. What I especially wanted to mention was that I had asked who they bought their picked onions from… the Chef came out to tell me and then very unexpectedly provided me with a little taster to take home, how kind….. it’s that sort of gesture that makes you want to go back to places again and sing their praises to all and sundry….I will Thank you Priest Hole your one in a million.More

Staff were rude a girl/woman was very rude and unhelpful! Think she was some kind of manager but needs re training!! Food wasn’t great! Won’t be recommending to friends

If you are looking for a Sunday lunch then this is the place !! We absolutely enjoyed everything from the lunch to our pudding, I definitely recommend the knickerbocker glory ! The staff are really great and fries and the pub itself is very cosy..., highly recommend.More

Always excellent food, can recommend the steak pie. Pub has good atmosphere, staff are always friendly and helpful.
