Restaurant description
Set amidst the stunning landscapes of the Lake District and winner of Cumbria Pub of the Year 2014, The Wild Boar Grill and Smokehouse showcases modern but hearty British food. Discover roaring open fires, sprawling rugs and low beamed ceilings in the cosy dining room.
Priding itself on its traditional décor bursting with character, The Wild Boar Inn also boasts an open kitchen for views of the chefs in action. Snack on pork crackling before sampling starters such as snails in herb, garlic and brandy cream, or game pie with piccalilli.
Guests can choose from mains including wild boar chop, and poached fillet of turbot with langoustines. Traditional pub classics such as the home roast and fish and chips can also be found on the Wild Boar Grill menu. Apple and homemade toffee vodka sorbet is a highlight among the desserts, and the wine list is substantial.
In close proximity to the famous Lake Windermere, The Wild Boar in Cumbria is a favourite with both locals and visitors. Windermere Train Station is a 10-minute drive away.

I was disappointed that the burgers had been replaced with the roastbeef n yorkshire puddings as I don't do Horseradish sauce but that was the only problem. The person who it was for was very happy.

We were quite disappointed with our alternative afternoon tea and the wild boar in general. We were seated by the window but the table next to us had last nights food still under the table. The food was not very hot and we didn’t think it was worth the money. Staff were ok but not very friendly and I’m not sure I’d recommend this to anyone or indeed return .

We had alternative afternoon tea. Delicious, plenty of it too. I was really hoping that there'd be some wild boar on it though. I'd seen a pic from a while ago where there was burgers on it but this has changed. I understand you've got to keep it fresh and change the menus. All in all though it was very tasty. The beef in Yorkshire pudding was to die for. Only things I would add are some boar and a second helping of chips so we had one each. Would definitely go again.

Friendly staff, welcoming environment and fabulous food. My husband also liked the fact there was no loud music going on! Will definitely be back

I loved the feel of the place, staff were welcoming. I had the beetroot and feta salad to begin with - could have perhaps done with a bit of balsamic (?) as it was a tad dry. I then had braised cheek - which was nice but a tad salty. The pinot was lush! Pricing was good - overall very pleased with our experience.

Lovely restaurant. Was very disappointed with the alternative afternoon tea however. For £25 pp I thought it was a bit expensive for what you got. 1 little bucket of chips, 4 chicken goujons but dont know where the chicken was!!! Just crunchy batter. Think the Yorkshire puds were frozen ones as they were still very cold on the bottom. Best bit was the pork pie, delicious. Just really disappointed with the quantity and quality of the food. Presentation was lovely. Ordered another coffee and waited over 20 minutes before paying and leaving without receiving it even though it didn't seem overly busy.
