    Our 2nd time visiting since The Ryebeck reopened and we were not disappointed. We went with friends for Sunday lunch, the food and staff were exceptional. We will be returning. The bonus of us been able to take our dog is also a plus to us as when we are in Winderemer we are on holiday with him. I would highly recommend The Ryebeck to friends and family

    Lovely atmosphere and beautiful location with stunning décor. Sunday lunch was exceptional. I had the roast beef which was nice and pink and melted in the mouth with all usual veggies, mash & roasts along with a Yorkshire pudd and delicious gravy. My husband had roast chicken which again was most enjoyable. We had several cocktails and beer. We had no room for dessert which all sounded amazing. We will have to return to sample more delights. Thank you

    We had a wonderful meal at The Rybeck Hotel. We were non residents who booked approximately 2 hours before we wanted to eat. We were welcomed like guests of the hotel and the whole experience was wonderful

    Lovely setting, fantastic decor, great selection of drinks, bar staff and lady on reception very friendly. Unfortunately we were let down by service in the restaurant and the food. It seemed like the restaurant was short on staff, we had to chase up our table so we could be seated even tho the restaurant was quite empty. Once finally seated, the starters came out within 10 minutes, which were great but then we ended up waiting 1 hour and 20 minutes for the mains, even tho other tables around us that came after us had eaten and vacated the restaurant. The main meals were of poor quality (like they were rushed) steak wasn’t rested properly which resulted in the chips on the plate being to soggy to eat, at a price of £38 I expect better quality. The other main meal was meant to come with roasted root vegetables and infact came with over boiled unseasoned broccoli and sweetcorn. I understand if understaffed things can suffer but this was for my 40th birthday celebration which unfortunately we can’t celebrate again as the meal was meant to be the finish to a nice couple of nights away with my wife. Will add we were given a bottle of wine on the house but this doesn’t really make up for the poor quality meals.

    Cheese and Onion pie very tasty, we preferred fresh veg to accompany instead of the baked beans and mash on the menu. Our request was accepted readily by Anna who was friendly and helpful. An enjoyable lunch in very pleasant surroundings with a great view of the lake. We have booked again.

    The restaurant was a really good ambience with soft background music playing. We were in the dog friendly section, this being fairly quiet. The food was generally of good standard apart from the warm goats cheese starter which arrived cold. The main courses of sea bass & rib of beef were very good. The manager compensated for this by reducing our wine bill.

    We ordered the thick beef short rib with was delicious followed by Prosecco and blackberry cheesecake to share which was also delicious. Good portion sizes. We’d booked a window seat which was great although the sun was glaring but once it had disappeared behind the hills it was a great place to sit. Some blinds around the room would help with that… Dogs are allowed in a specific part of the restaurant and they were barking on and off while we were eating which was slightly irritating but that’s down to the owners not keeping them quiet and it didn’t ruin the meal.
