This has recently become my nearest Chinese takeaway and when I say nearest, I means it's like…read more100yds over the road - very handy! I used to favour another well respected Chinese in the village but when I needed food yesterday evening, I found them shut and The Golden Mountain got its chance! As this was just a takeaway for one, I'm not yet in a position to review the entire menu however my chicken fried rice with chicken curry and a portion of chips went down a storm....well half of it did anyway! Such was the huge portion sizes, it came in useful for lunch today too! The food was very tasty, nice and hot (heat not spicy) and big in volume - definitely value for money at just over £10 with a bag of prawn crackers thrown in for free. :-) So, yes I will return to sample more from the menu in due course. My new fave??...maybe!

For the mains, we had vegetable fried rice, surf and turf special with Szechuan sauce, and the chicken with sweet Thai chili sauce. All of them were very tasty, not overly salty (which I find Chinese can be) and we finished everything but a little fried rice. I'm giving it 4 stars because they don't serve alcohol, the steak in the surf and turf wasn't as tender as we would have liked and the pieces were too large to be eaten with chopsticks.

Probably the best option for a vegetarian that we found in all of Bowness - loved it! We went on a…read moreMonday evening and it was busy but we got a table in less than five minutes. We shared the veggie spring rolls between us then I had the aubergine curry and my boyfriend had duck and ginger and we shared coconut rice between us. It was all completely delicious and came really quickly! I would definitely go back. From the veggie perspective, tbh the competition in Bowness isn't great (though there are specifically veggie restaurants in Ambleside). It's usually one grudging option on an otherwise meat-with-meat-on-the-side menu, and it's nearly always a mushroom. This place has veggie starters (4 or 5) and a whole section of mains. Heaven.

We were offered the menu cards. The waitress was unable to explain the dish types when asked specific question about the menu. I ordered Gaeng Ba Gai (Thai jungle chicken curry). It was good. I am basically from US and have tasted at various Thai places, the chicken always accompanied rice without extra cost. We were asked to order rice separately which is unusual for us which I found is a norm in UK. Overall, little crampy place with narrow entry stairs to dine in good place but good food. Our food was perfectly mellowed to the spice level we had requested. Not giving five stars due to coldness of the waitress and unable explain the menu of her own restaurant. Customer is a big deal for me, by and large !

All the apps were good but the spring rolls and Samosas were a stand out. The Phad Thai was excellent. Not dry like most places serve it, but saucy and full of flavor. The servers were all just lovely. Food was slow coming out but it was very busy and in the peak season so to be expected. It's in an old converted church and the interior is very nicely decorated. Bright vibrant colors match really well.

It's quite embarrassing that we had Thai food for two nights in a row when traveling through the…read moreLake District but... the heart wants what the heart wants! Full disclosure, I wanted to hate this place. It took a while for the hostess to seat us because he was busy chitchatting instead of taking care of people in line. Also, they kind of scoffed when we said we didn't have a reservation even though the place was half full. Then, looking at the menu, the food doesn't come with rice or noodle, and they charge a whopping 2.95 pounds for plain jasmine rice. I was like -.- But DANG their food is amazing! I was completely blown away. Possibly the best Thai food I've ever had outside of Thailand. Who would have thought a restaurant in a little English village would be one of the best Thai food experiences I've ever had. We got the chicken Phad Krapow and the land stir fry. The flavors on these dishes were absolutely perfect. We cleaned the plates! Highly recommend. If this place were in Arlington VA, they would probably know my name and make my food as soon as I walk in the door!

This restaurant is right on the main street so easily accessible too. The food was not the best thai you can find in the area but it wasn't bad at all. So if you are bored of the usual pasta, pizzas, sandwiches, you can definitely pay a visit to this restaurant. You definitely get vegetarian options available out here, we had the spring rolls, pad thai and the curry with jasmine rice. However the staff was extremely courteous and friendly. Please call before you go, Keswick being a small place- lots of restaurants shut down early if they don't have customers walking in.

The bruschetta is just bread with a sickly sweet tomato sauce and cheese. The hummos platter came with three types of bread and dips. We had two slices of white, black olive and garlic focaccia. The later was delicious. The dips were hummos, a black olive tapenade, and the same sickly sweet tomato sauce that is on the bruschetta. The tapenade was pretty much black olives. Nothing to expand on. The hummos had a really great flavor. I would have ordered the bowl of hummos & side of bread instead of the platter.

We only ordered hot drinks and scones with jam, cream and butter, but it was all lovely, delicious, and although perhaps not budget food I didn't feel ripped off at all with the quality of what was on offer. I will say, though, that the group as a whole agreed that the cream, although okay, should have been clotted or whipped double cream, instead of nasty whipped stuff. That's the kind of quality I expect when I pay a little extra.

Prebook in advance to avoid disappointment!…read more I booked this for our anniversary meal. Despite turning up on time we had to queue outside for at least 25 minutes with several others waiting for people to finish their meals. Once inside the waiter was super apologetic, and you could tell he needed a drink himself. The restaurant was very cosy with interesting pieces of art on the walls. A nice very traditional feel about the place. Anyway the starters consisted of various seafood and meat dishes to which you can size up as a main on average pricing of £7 to £15. I had the pork cheeks and himself the clam spaghetti. While we waited we were presented with canapés consisting of cheese and carmalised onions..the other truffle oil on crackers. These were a very tasty treat. The spaghetti was well made and the sauce light smothering the tiny clams. My pork cheek was super tender, and it lay perched on perfect mash, panchetta, black pudding, pickled onions in a tomato broth. Various bits of bread was also served to mop up this juice. Only criticism clam meat is sooo small in this country so not worth the battle against the shells for such a tiny reward. For mains I had the seafood special which was a bowl filled with mussels, clams, scallop, king prawns and longuistines swimming in a broth and fresh pasta. This was super tasty, cooked to perfection and presented nicely. My only gripe was I only had one at most two scallops. My other half chose the lamb which again was super tender, in a homely bed of mash, sauce and root vegetables. Super simple dish but everything was cooked perfectly. I was feeling quite full but the orange panacotta with orange sorbet was too tasty to miss. It didn't disappoint. Overall despite the disappointing beginning the service was impeccable and food really tasty. However I did expect a bit more in terms of creativity considering this was a Michelin star restaurant. Definitely worth a visit if you enjoy your seafood especially.
