First time at The Lakes for Sunday lunch and certainly won't be the last. Possibly one of the best Sunday lunches we have had for a long time. The restaurant/cafe isn't huge but has an outdoor seating area over looking a small lake. Service is relaxed and the staff are friendly. I would suggest you do not have a breakfast if going for lunch as the meals are generous, brilliant crisp roast pots, lovely Yorkshire pud and thickly sliced beef, vegetables were really good too. A definitive must give it a try

A gem of a place settled next to a fishing lake. This restaurant had a great menu choice, and although pricey, it was to a high standard and very tasty. Definitely a place I will revisit as they have a decking area, which I would advise to book as they were full on the lovely sunny day I visited.
