Grasmere Restaurants
GRASMERE RESTAURANTS, CAFES, & PUBS.
Because of competition you can be fairly sure of a good experience when eating out in Grasmere. Like everywhere, Chefs can change or have a bad night so this is my personal view of the experience I have had eating out in Grasmere.
The Jumble Room. Langdale Road, Grasmere.
If you are lucky enough to get a table in this quirky restaurant, I can almost guarantee a fantastic eating experience. Don’t be put off when you look through the window and see how small it is, there is another floor upstairs.
Quirky decor, fantastic homemade food and great music.

Thank you for putting the restaurants on, very useful
Glad you found it helpful will try my best to keep it up to date
Had a good meal at Potted Out on Saturday night, and an excellent meal at Sara’s last night. Sad to see Villa Columbina has gone out of business.
Good to hear. Thanks for letting me know. Much as I’d like to eat out in the village all the time it’s not possible, so any contributions good or bad, appreciated. Yes am missing Villa Columbina I must admit.
