The Punch Bowl Inn, Crosthwaite Kendal Reviews from The Last Year
Friendly staff, lovely food and cosy atmosphere
My wife and I visited for a birthday lunch, in February 2024, and we had absolutely no complaints whatsoever. The staff were lovely and friendly, the food was delicious, particularly the pudding, and there was a nice cosy atmosphere, with a log burner crackling away. Perfect on a dreary February day. I did find my meal was a little under seasoned, but I didn't mind that as you can the season to your own taste, and far better than being overly salty. Overall, a very pleasant experience and really not too pricey either. I would really recommend the Punch Bowl Inn
High Quality in all respects
We took advantage of the 2 nights for 1 January offer and had a superb time. This is a beautiful unspoilt area with lovely walking close by. The pub itself is very attractive. Our room, Peake was lovely, very cosy with a massive bathroom. A cream tea was included in the deal. It was delicious, a freshly baked scone and lovely cream. An excellent start. The bar and both dining rooms are cosy and inviting. The menu is not extensive but everything was very tempting. The two stand out dishes were the Guinea fowl and lamb rump which were both absolutely outstanding. The lamb in particular was incredible, probably the best we have ever tasted and so tender. The only dish that didn’t quite work was the cod which wasn’t very flavoursome and the fish sauce accompanying it tasted like butterscotch sauce, no fish flavour at all. A shame. The breakfasts were huge and again excellent quality and cooked beautifully. The chef is obviously a talent. They also have some wonderful staff members, friendly warm and professional. Service as it should be. We will be back I hope and would gladly recommend the Punch Bowl to friends.
Genuine warm hospitable welcome - bravo!
On a bitterly cold Cumbrian winter’s day - we arrived at the PunchBowl without a lunch reservation and despite being fully booked the lovely manageress found a place for our party of 3. The restaurant was packed but Alice and her staff made us feel utterly welcome and cleared a space in their party-festooned mezzanine seating area. The food was exceptional - the signature cheese soufflé was delicious and my spicy butternut squash soup was delectable. Our abiding memory of the PunchBowl will be of conviviality and genuine hospitality - and of course the great meal. Bravo! We shall certainly return.
Fabulous!
Had a great night here. The food was absolutely beautiful. Those beef cheeks were incredible. Super friendly staff give a really lovely warm welcome and have great banter, as well as providing fabulous service. We’d 100% recommend. Wish we lived closer, we’d be here all the time!
Quality, warmth and cosiness in a relaxed but professional atmosphere
Warmth and quality from start to finish, the Punch Bowl gave us a cosy weekend and a great birthday celebration in the Lakes. The quality of the food and the rooms as well as service was fantastic. We enjoyed the bar and the restaurant and we were well looked after in both.
A few niggles but would probably visit again
We were disappointed that on a Sunday there was only one vegetarian choice and on the kids menu none at all,to be fair on request they did do some kids veggie sausage but I had checked on booking that veggie options were on the menu and assured there was,also our order was take very quickly and our starters arrived really fast however we waited over 45 mins for our mains to follow…not ideal when you have hungry children with you,the waiter brought what he said were 4 x cauliflower cheese so everyone tucked in only to realise one potato dish was missing for our veggie diner,turns out it was 3x cauliflower and one potato we raised the mistake thinking the potato dish would be provided as a good will gesture but sadly no.However the food when it did arrive was delicious …the Sunday roast beef was a good sized portion and the side order of beetroot was very tasty,the bill including drink for 8x adults 1 child came to £370.00 … I think I would visit again and hope the little niggles were a one off.
Hidden Gem
Great hotel. Excellent value for money. Away from the crowds of Windermere and Bowness, yet still central. Breakfasts really good. Been staying and eating here for about 16 years and never disappointed.
A Gem in the Lakes
Excellent place for a light lunch on our short tour of the countryside east of Lake Windermere. We received a very friendly welcome and enjoyed our meal and drinks in the pleasant outside seating area. We will definitely be back in future for another meal, or perhaps to stay in one of the boutique rooms.
OUTSTANDING COUNTRY INN
I rarely hand out 5 stars, but in this case it's justified. We didn't stay unfortunately due to time restrictions, but wish we had. The quality of food here is simply outstanding judging by what we had. With a time restriction we didn't have time for three courses, but the two we had were stunning. I had the Guinea fowl and my partner had the sea bass. I'd barely tasted the Guinea fowl before my partner speared a taste and. threatened to demolish it --it was just divine--subtle, tender and full of flavour. Creamed potatoes were perfect. The dish was so good I could have had it again! My partner had the Sea bass which she raved over, and like me doesn't hand out praise easily. We didn't imbibe as she is teetotal and I was driving--another time we will stay over. Very professional helpful service without being obtrusive, the lovely lady who came to our table was so friendly and knowledgeable, checking allergies between courses shows good management and training too.. I am a hotel manager and my partner is also a hospitality professional--we were both very impressed by everything here. Oh and the lemon tart with damson sorbet is exquisite. Take a bow Punch bowl and team--you nailed it.
Perfect family treat
Ok - so it might seem a bit pricing but really don't worry about that ..... because boy is it worth it! A family treat, 3 courses each and each one exquisitely presented and perfect in every way. A beautiful Inn in a magical part of the world. Love it!
Everything about the Punchbowl will delight you! The rooms
Everything about the Punchbowl will delight you! The rooms are superbly decorated, spacious and comfortable. The food is special (you might as well book dinner for every night you are there IMHO). And the staff is fantastic--friendly and accommodating. I'd return in a split second with any opportunity!

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Appointment
I was waiting on the transfer for name but it hasn’t happened yet and my reservation is tonight , will it be an issue that is hasn’t changed into my name yet
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Just got scammed!
Thats unfortunate but you can always get your money back if they cancel the reservation.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
