Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Had a lovely evening at Hooked! The food was amazing from start to finish. I had the smoked salmon to start that was light, tender and the tastiest I’ve ever tasted. Loved the decor and ambience. Our waitress Kay was knowledgable and friendly and recommended...a beautiful wine to accompany our food, and with us being too full for desserts she tempted us to cocktails instead. A great evening!More

Food was ok. But poor standard of service. On a Thursday night, four main items on a small menu were not available. The only waitress appeared to be inexperienced in the job. Wine glass chipped. We were given a desert spoon for our soup. All...super basic error. Won’t recommend it.More

We opted for the 2 courses for £30 - fish was delicious. You pay extra for greens - which were over priced - but other than that good value for money. Dessert was extra but fabulous- profiteroles melted in the mouth and sticky toffee was...light. Good wine menu. Lovely atmosphere and very friendly staff. Definitely go here if you’re visiting Windermere - you need to book and can do so online.More

The small restaurant is welcoming and warm with one of the nicest, friendliest waitresses we’ve met in a long time. Chatty but not in your face and cheerful! The food was delicious - the tall one was really complimentary about his monkfish, beautiful flavours. He...did have food envy over my sardines which I have to admit was so fresh, simple and a delight to eat. For lovers of seafood, this has to be on your go to list restaurants - you won’t be disappointed. For a Monday the restaurant was busy and I can understand why. This is a chef that knows how to cook fish/ seafood and it really is the star of the showMore

Hooked is a great fish and seafood restaurant. The staff are very friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable about the menu. They were able to provide us with good advice when ordering which we then took on board (and appreciated)! The restaurant does not seat many, but...this makes for a nice relaxing atmosphere. The monkfish was very good although I think the soft shell crab somewhat let the dish down overall. I would definitely return and would like to try the lunch menu.More
