   One of my favourite eating places locally. Sensible menu catering for most needs. The food is excellent and well presented. Friendly and attentive staff - one could not ask for more. Thoroughly recommended.

   It was good food but a little expensive for a pub meal.

   Very good service. Sunday lunch was fantastic. Great Yorkshire puddings. It was a little on the pricey side but will definitely visit again. Would be good to have a but more choice for kids.

   A restaurant that entices customers with a fictitious menu on their website, and which bears very little resemblance to what is offered, is a depressing reflection on this establishment.

   2pm booking for Sunday lunch did not disappoint at our 'local'. A visiting guest's birthday and our wedding anniversary made this an easy choice- delicious food (roast beef) with excellent mix of vegetable dishes and extra gravy on request was no problem: a light, wonderful sticky toffee pudding with ice cream - washed down with a really good pint of theakstons. All plates cleared and friendly, attentive service makes us feel lucky to have this on our doorstep!

   We always enjoy food here, it is constantly very good - always room for improvement with some courses. Some lighter dishes could be good.

    The Highland Drove is a welcoming pub and restaurant. The menu is varied and, in true Cumbrian style the portions are generous. The meals are well cooked and nicely presented. The beers are well kept and the wine list is a good size.

    Would highly recommend! Amazing food and service. Very welcoming to both us and our dogs. We were a party of four and all had different dishes for all three courses and all were cooked and served to a very high standard. Candles created a cost ambience. If in the area again wouldn’t hesitate to return.

    Excellent food and service. Originally booked a table in the bar but it was quite busy and noisy. Moved to the dining room without any trouble where we enjoyed an excellent meal (my sirloin steak was cooked to perfection) with attentive service. Will definitely be returning as we only live a few miles away.

    The Highland Drove is a wonderful country pub/establishment. The local beer available is superb; Tirrel. The food is better/beyond the usual pub grub as the menu varies but is consistently very good. The atmosphere is inclusive and warm as is the welcome from patrons and management. Our waiters were knowledgeable, friendly and attentive. We patronize the Drove whenever the opportunity arises; I can't recommend it highly enough! Thank you! Tom

    We went for my birthday meal and it was amazing! They decorated the table with balloons and a happy birthday sign. The food was incredible I had a chicken special. During the meal we were given a free bottle of Prosecco to celebrate my birthday and at the end of the meal we were given chocolates decorated with happy 19th birthday. The service was amazing. Was a busy night so really nice atmosphere. I would recommend this very highly and will definitely be returning!

    A lovely Friday evening meal at this beautiful place . Cannot recommend it enough . From the moment we arrived to the time we left was first class service . Warmed by log burning stoves we chose from the menu . I had the special Pheasant wrapped in bacon with a pearl barley risotto and broccoli. My partner had the Dover Sole . Both absolutely delicious and well presented . A gem of a place , out of the way but not to be missed . We will definitely be back . Oh forgot to mention great real ales and fine wines to boot .

    Lovely dog friendly pub with a great ambience - candles and log fire in the middle of the restaurant very welcoming as were all the staff and owner. Nice to find a pub that has had money spent on it. A slight hiccup at the start meant our food took a while to arrive but it was worth the wait - piping hot, well presented and absolutely delicious. If only we'd had room for dessert....next time.

    The food left a lot to be desired. Poor quality roast turkey. Fish stew was lacking imagination - a lot of fish in orange jus.

    We had a lovely Sunday lunch here yesterday with my elderly Dad. The restaurant itself was warm and cosy, and the lady put us next to the log burner to keep Dad warm, having requested this in our booking. The service was friendly and professional, the food was delicious and well presented, and we spent a very pleasant lunchtime there.
