First time visiting The Ambleside Pub to watch the England game, and we really enjoyed it. We were warmly greeted by Steve, the bartender, who made us feel very welcome. I had the haddock fish & chips, my husband had the bangers and mash, and we finished with sticky toffee pudding and custard. Everything was delicious and felt like authentic British pub food. The atmosphere was fun, and we loved how the TVs are hidden behind what look like paintings when not in use -- such a cool touch! There's plenty of seating, even for larger groups. We'll definitely be back for future England games, and next time we may bring our dog since we found out they're dog-friendly too! read more

I have to agree with ALL these reviews-this place is absolutely fantastic and they should not change a thing! First off-the owners are so FRIENDLY and kind--you can talk to them about anything and they are happy to answer questions about any of the food and/or drinks. You can tell they love owning this place and meeting customers. I have heard so much about the Pub and went for the first time yesterday with two friends. We had one of their rotating cask beers and one of their bitter regular casks which is a staple of the establishment-each beer was delicious and tasty! I had the vegan curry dish which was very tasty with veggies, rice and great spice. My friends had a dish similar to Shepherd's Pie but slightly different and cooked with more like steak stewed meat rather than lamb and we all licked our plates clean LOL. We also shared two of the desserts which were vanilla ice cream with some type of coconut cookie in it and the other was vanilla ice cream with a yummy type of strawberry sauce I think. The atmosphere is so laid back as well-like traditional British Pubs you order your drinks and food at the bar and they deliver your food to your table with a number. You are able to sit wherever you would like and I hear it gets very packed for European football games. I can't wait until I get a chance to go again-there aren't a ton of food options being that I don't eat red meat-but I was able to find the curry and could also try the Fish and Chips which looked amazing and I have heard it is great. If you are in the area-stop by for a drink or two and you will not be disappointed-you feel like you are transported to England with these type of pub. read more

Came to Ambleside on a weekday as I had to go to a dealership nearby. I love British pubs from similar places in the city, and they have chips (french fries) so my son would be happy. It was bright and sunny outside, but traditionally dark and well worn inside. You order at the bar and they bring everything to your table. Owners were very nice as you'd expect. I got their house bitter cask ale. Very good however please note this is close to room temperature than a typical cold beer; I personally love the style and this was a good example. My son doesn't understand that British people call fries chips, so we ended up having to get him French fries and potato chips. They luckily had the latter, even if they didn't have plain ones, so we got him ketchup-flavored chips that of course he proceeded to barely eat (they were actually good). He did like the French fries/British chips, and my wife liked her breakfast sandwich even if it was a bit heavy for her. My fish and chips were really freaking good. Sizable piece of fish (haddock), nice and crisp, with a ton of chips and lots of sauces (spicy mustard, vinegar, etc). Maybe not my favorite fish and chips ever, but it hit the spot. Would come back here in a heartbeat, especially where I could relax and drink a bit more. Completely understand why they are recognized as a top bar in the US. read more

I had an amazing lunch here! First of all it's adorable. It's a cute British pub atmosphere with different sections and cozy seating. Everyone is really nice and friendly. We started off with a scone with clotted cream and jam. It was excellent! Then we moved onto the burger, Wellington and the pie of the day.omg!! the pie of the day was a vegetable curry, which was really tasty. I loved the burger in the puff pastry! Fries were really crispy on point. But the most memorable thing was the sticky toffee pudding! I'm still dreaming about it! I absolutely love this place even though it was my first time I will be back many times after to try the entire menu. read more

Great British Pub in Mt. Kisco. We went here twice when visit g my sister for Thanksgiving to watch Premier League. The staff is very friendly and it is a great vibe. I highly recommend if you want to watch soccer, sports, or want a legit pub. They also have some British ales on tap, but the tap is an interesting pump type thing. It was cool and I recommend the Cornish ale. Obviously Guinness on tap. Try this spot. It rocks. read more

The fish and chips were great. I enjoyed the cask ale too. Staff were very friendly. Would definitely go back again

Been meaning to come try this out for awhile, and so glad we did! The food was excellent! The relaxed pub feel was perfect for the dreary rainy weather outside. You order at the bar and the staff are friendly and welcoming. The food was so perfectly prepared and the shepherds pie had great flavor, it wasn't just a boring brown gravy it had a little kick to it. Looking forward to coming back to try more menu items! read more

Can't rave enough about this place! Went for the Wednesday night trivia (first and third Weds of every month) and it was a blast! Sooo lively and charming. Felt like I was back in London where I studied abroad. A mix of US and British trivia. Packed with people of all ages, dogs, kids. And the food is five stars! Loved the cheese-and-onion hand pasty so much. Buttery, flaky crust, flavorful caramelized onion, gooey and so fresh. Trying the vegetable curry bake next and their toffee sticky pudding. Shoutout to Steve for the recs, and the kindest Englishman in Westchester. 5 stars!!!! read more

I am overall very impressed with how this place has turned out. I've been wanting to try this place since I first came here to try their food. My fiancée and I finally had the chance and we are incredibly happy with. The place inside is beautiful. I love how they have TVs everywhere that look like picture frames. Gives it a unique touch. The chairs are very comfortable and some don't have backs making easier to get up and down. The bartenders were so nice and helpful. They brought everything to our table when it was ready. The bathrooms were very clean and have a slide door to get into. Never really seen that before so I thought it was cool. The food tasted amazing. I had the shepherds pie and it was very flavorful. Over all happy and will definitely come again. read more

I have followed this place online for ages and finally popped in as an expat, finding proper fish and chips in NY is usually like spotting the Loch Ness Monster. But The Ambleside Pub absolutely nails it. The bar's a beauty clearly crafted by someone who's spent a few evenings "researching" in British pubs and the whole place has that cozy-meets-classy feel that makes you want to settle in for a long session. Jimmy behind the bar is an absolute legend, friendly, fast, and full of the kind of banter you'd expect from a bloke who's poured more pints than he's had hot dinners. Highly recommend giving this place a go, and I'll definitely be back to see if the Sunday roast lives up to the hype (no pressure, Jimmy). read more

I tried the Sunday Roast. It was delicious! Very large portions and all tasty. I had the leg of lamb and loved it. The cheesy cauliflower was awesome, as were all the vegetables. Topped it off with some sticky toffee pudding and custard. Make a reservation; it's very popular! read more

The long-awaited pub from the glorious crew that brought us The Hamlet! The Ambleside was worth the wait. Warm, inviting and full of British hospitality. Take a gander at the menu (chock full of delicious fare like hand pies, fish & chips, Scotch eggs, and fried Mars bars) and order at the bar. It's a true delight at Christmastime, where the spirit of the holiday gives the place even more charm, including a delicious seasonal brew called "Fezziwig!" Of course they have a variety of British ales on tap as well. Sign up early for their Sunday roasts and enjoy trivia, darts, table games and football (soccer) matches on one of their many screens (which magically transform into lovely outdoor scenes during mealtimes). This place is a treasure for this American Anglophile and I relish returning again and again. read more

The Ambleside Pub in Mt. Kisco, NY, is like stepping into a real English pub. Head over to the bar, order your food and drinks, grab a number, and find a seat. They have a great selection of draft beers, and the menu is super authentic. The half English breakfast was more than enough to fill you up. The sausage butty was very tasty. We were lucky to have Scotch eggs, which are always a hit, but they disappear quickly, so once they are gone you won't see them again until tomorrow. The pub has a cozy feel, and our friendly bartender, Jimmy, was keeping things moving. It's a great place to relax, hang out with friends and family, or even for a date night. Cheers! read more

First time coming here and I'm appalled at the rudeness of the lady bartender. Super disappointed in the unprofessional behavior and tone she spoke to both myself and my girlfriend. I thought Ambleside would be a nice alternative to O'Connors and I loved the layout and how it was put together but they charge more for beer and leave you feeling disrespected whereas O'connors has been so welcoming. We won't be coming back and I'll be sure to spread the word about this awful experience so others don't have to deal with it too. read more

This place is a legit British pub with legit Fish and Chips and legit hand-pumped beer. If you are from the UK and miss home, this is as close as you will get. I had, of course, the Fish and chips and a local stout served with a pump. Both were outstanding and reminded me of my days in the UK. I understand they also serve a legit British breakfast. Excellent addition to the neighborhood. Since you're in the US, remember to tip well and always use "please" and "thank you" with the bartender and servers. read more

Fish and chips! Bangers and mash! Sticky toffee pudding! We came here recently a year after our first visits and we left wondering why we don't come here more often. The food here is so solid. The cod is a generous hunk of fried goodness (think light and airy) and the fries are thick like steak fries. The bar staff and wait staff are all so kind and congenial here. And the atmosphere is what you expect from a traditional British pub. Dimly lit (perfect casual spot for your first or second date), lots of cute English tsotchkes, nice tv screens that are camouflaged as elegant paintings when a game isn't showing, room temp hand pulled draft beer - what more can you ask for? read more

A slice of London in Mount Kisco. This is a legit English pub in every way, right down to the bar man, Rick, who was happy to chat us up (and bust chops a bit). The taps are old school with a manual pump, and the food was great - best chips around. read more

The owners were super friendly and welcoming. Our food was reallllly good. My parents usually say at restaurants "it was fine", but this time they ate the whole meal and said "that was really good, we will definitely come back here". I had the bacon cheeseburger, my dad had the shepherds pie and my mom had a chicken pie special (like a chicken pot pie with chicken, mushrooms and leek) and we shared the brussel sprouts. We will be back. read more

Was told that The Ambleside Pub has the best Fish and Chips in the area and the review was spot on. Went with my wife for lunch this past Saturday as she's been dying for a burger. Small British pub on E. Main St. in Mt. Kisco which offers authentic British fare. Numerous TVs hung in picture frames adorned the walls and were playing a soccer match. Locals I'm sure go there for a pint or half to enjoy. Sat at our table for a while before our server came over to ask if we'd ever been there before. Told us that in a traditional British pub, orders are made at the bar and then brought table side. I felt like having a traditional British beer and got a half of a summer ale served cool. All in all a great experience read more

My wife is from England, and whenever I want to cheer her up, we go here! It's just like home for her! We recommend this to everyone!

What a cosy easy way to get a brit fix right in mt. Kisco. Love all the creative fun events and just the overall welcoming feel. The veggie curry is fantastic and the unique chip selection is a hit with the kids! read more

Perfect, traditional English Pub! Lively, friendly and cozy. The beer was cold and refreshing, the food was exactly what we had in the British Pubs we visited in England. Scotch Eggs, Cornish Pasties, sausage rolls... bartender was welcoming and the staff was lovely. Order your food and drinks at the bar and staff will bring food out to you. read more

The atmosphere is so great. Kelly at the bar was super nice and friendly. No food this visit but we'll definitely be back!!

I love this place! I moved from England to the US when I was 12. I loved our family time at our local pub for the Sunday roast! This is just like an English pub with the atmosphere and great pub food! Love watching the footy here too (soccer) The Full English Breakfast is just delicious, with tradition English back bacon, sausage, Heinz baked beans, cooked tomatoes and fried bread. Highly recommend!!!! read more

The Ambleside Pub - Full English Brekkie! - Pubs Near Me - Mount Kisco, New York

This place styles itself a traditional British pub, where you order food and drinks from the bar. While it's a nice idea, in practicality it wasn't working well when I had a late lunch there this weekend. Even when we arrived and it wasn't super busy yet, it was hectic in the bar area. You have to go up to the bar for everything, to get menus, order food and drinks, even to get a glass of water or a to go container. That's way too much traffic and the whole point of having wait staff, which is to help manage the needs of your patrons while the kitchen and the bar staff do what they need to do. This no doubt was related to our very long wait for our food. Bangers and mash were good, the gravy was a little cold. Chips were overcooked and the scotch eggs were ok, not great. Staff were friendly but disorganized. I think what really bothered me though was being largely self service yet still having the tip section on the receipt. Not too traditionally British on that aspect. read more

Good Beer. Good Food. Friendly Service. I do recommend. Waiting to try the Sunday roast.

This place is as close to a British pub as you can get without visiting England. The beers are strictly English (and not 'English-style'). Four cask beers available. And a great selection of scotch. The food was good; I had fish and chips. The place got busy with the game on, but the staff really hustled. read more

Blech! The Ambleside Pub was a completely overpriced and underwhelming experience. This may be a great place to go have a pint but definitely skip the food! All of the food was frozen and nothing tasted fresh. The kids fish and chips was frozen fish sticks and the fries were served cold. The pasty, which was probably the best food item, was made from puff pastry instead of short crust, and had some artificial cheese goop resembling squeeze cheese. The mushy peas were from a can. It's almost like they take all of the pre-prepared foods from their shop The Hamlet down the street, and serve it to guests. I felt like I was eating a frozen Trader Joe's dinner. The wine list was also a disappointment--random cheapo wines to check off the red/white/rosé boxes. Spend your money elsewhere. read more

Really bad food the bartenders clearly don't like Americans and there's cockroaches and traps that they tried to hide that I've seen in there! I have made a complaint with the health department. The ambience is boring like most of the customers that regular the place. read more
