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.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Fabulous meal and friendly service. We were celebrating our engagement (that day!) and the staff were so lovely. Thank you so much for the complementary drinks.

We combined a weekend stay finishing on the last night with a wedding anniversary celebratory meal with a group of friends. Tony, Jessica and Kay pulled all the stops out to make the evening an experience for us all to remember. We started with a...pre-dinner reception which they set up for us in their wine cellar followed by a wonderful meal in the restaurant. The service throughout was spot on, very friendly and efficient along with very well presented excellently cooked food. We and all our friends enjoyed the whole experience and we would recommend Plato's to anyone looking to arrange something similar or simply to just enjoy a lovely friendly venue to stay in with wonderful food. We will definately be back.More

Absolutely loved my dining experience here! From the moment you enter you are met with a warm, inviting cosy atmosphere where you instantly want to stay and experience whst they have to offer. It has been a while since I have eaten out and had...good food as well as good service. Platos delivers both in abundance Front of house staff are friendly, knowledgeable and well trained and happy.......something you find hard to come across these days in hospitality. It shows it must be a great place to work as well as to visit. Now the food..........exceptional! Menu choice...inviting, and just the right amount of choice and pricing. We shared the whole chicken with sides and it was delicious. Could not fault it at all. I really should have stopped eating after my first plate full but couldn't as it was thst good Hats of to the chef and kitchen team....profession with high standards.....rosette worthy. Will most certainly be looking to return. Thank you for a great evening team PlatosMore

A really good meal. The Chateaubriand was superb. Staff were friendly and helpful. Cocktails were sublime. Absolutely nothing to complain about & if we were in Kirkby Lonsdale would not hesitate to visit again.

Carrying on the Sunday Lunch menu into the evening is a good idea, especially as we were caught up in a massive M6 jam, and so really appreciated the choice of menu, the pleasant staff and the decor. Would certainly recommend.

Another great lunch as per our last review. Lovely place, terrific short menu, excellent chef and service. Rob is missed, but no effect on the operation. Fairly quiet when we were there but deserves to be super busy....

Went for Sunday Lunch after seeing the menu online and we were not disappointed! two of us had the roast chicken, two the roast beef and two children’s fish and chips. The meat, vegetables, potatoes and gravy were all just perfect. Huge home-made Yorkshire puddings....It really was delicious. The children both loved their fish and ate everything. We then squeezed in puddings which were just as good! Highly recommend and we will be back !More
