An excellent choice of Vegetarian and Vegan food with excellent service and nice cosy atmosphere. If I hadn't been on my own it could have been very romantic too. I will definitely revisit when in the area.

Good surroundings efficient service, I felt that the maitre de could have been a little more welcoming even though we were 1/4 hour late. My partner a was less impressed and thought that the prices were inflated.

Quince & Medlar has been one of my parent's favorites since it opened but I've only been lucky enough to go once. I had high expectations but wasn't disappointed at all, I wish I could eat here every day! When you first arrive you feel like your in someones home the atmosphere is so friendly and the decoration homely. I... More

We recently revisited having not been for several years. When the restaurant first opened, it was completely different to anything we'd experienced & whilst at uni it was a regular for treat girls night out when we returned home. Move on several decades & I probably am more discerning when it comes to food - I still really enjoyed it,... More

Having lived in Cumbria for 18 years we finally got round to going here. We were not disappointed. Neither of us are vegetarian, but our meal was excellent and we didn't miss the meat! Cheese souffle was so yummy. A lovely separate room for a pre drink. Service and customer care was faultless. Can't wait to return.

I'm not a vegetarian but can recommend this is a restaurant for all. We had three courses and thoroughly enjoyed them all. The ambience is warm and welcoming as are the staff. It was a relaxing meal, no pressure was felt to move onto the next course. We will return.

Quite simply a fantastic restaurant. The food is up there with the best in its price range (which is very reasonable £12-14 for mains). Indeed, whether you're veggie, vegan or otherwise, you won't fail to be impressed. My partner and I were made to feel special and treated to a magical evening's hospitality. The restaurant is softly furnished and glows... More

Forget the word vegetarian - the food is the most imaginative and tasty we have eaten in the UK and abroad and we are not vegetarians. We have been regular visitors for over 20 years and just love the ambiance and intimacy of the place. The owners trained at Sharrow Bay and have won numerous awards but are both lovely,... More

From start to finish our experience was excellent. Lovely warm welcome. We really enjoyed the little homemade treats that were served with the pre-dinner drinks. We all enjoyed the different tastes and flavours with each course. The food is so interesting and well presented. Only one of our party was actually vegetarian but we all really enjoy the fine dining... More
