We have made the decision to stop taking restaurant bookings during the busy summer months, this is to stop any disappointment, especially with everyone wanting to book a balcony table.
Unfortunately, we have had several customers recently who have not been very patient or polite to our staff, so we kindly ask for your patience and respect when visiting at this time - this may mean waiting slightly longer to be served (especially as all of our food is freshly cooked to order), or not being able to sit at a specific table. Our team works hard to serve everyone and we will not tolerate any form of rudeness or abusive behaviour to our staff.

La Casa Verde is open every day from 9am until 5pm

Thank you for understanding in this matter

Interview with Mollie Shannon and her parents Russell Fletcher and Amanda Swift Fletcher shown on itv Border. Mollie has completed writing her first book inspired by Ullswater and the Lake District. An amazing achievement especially considering she has MEARES-IRLEN syndrome and the book is written to raise awareness and encourage people with this syndrome to read and write.

Car Damlier Charabanc on Kirkstone Pass depicts an early motor charabanc making its way across one of the highest and most challenging mountain passes in the English Lake District. Kirkstone Pass, linking Ambleside with Patterdale, has long been a dramatic and demanding route, and images such as this highlight the transition from horse drawn travel to motorised transport in the early twentieth century.

The charabanc shown in the photograph represents an important stage in the development of motor tourism. Charabancs were large, open topped passenger vehicles, usually fitted with rows of wooden or slatted seats, designed for group excursions rather than private travel. They were particularly popular from the 1900s through to the 1920s and were widely used for day trips, outings by clubs and societies, and early sightseeing tours.
