Staveley Hostels

We had a great meal here when we called on the off chance of getting a table. It was a Weds night so we thought it would be quiet, how wrong we were?! Fortunately the lovely Phillipa found us a table and couldn’t do enough for us to make sure everything we wanted was sorted out. We’re both vegetarian and find the veggie options limited in many places we visit, the Lakes was an exception to this rule and the Eagle and Child provided us with excellent choices, we had home cooked veggie chilli and a butternut squash lasagne, perfect after a long walk. I have to mention Phillipa as she encompasses all that good service is about, efficient, engaging, energetic and nothing was too much trouble a real gem of a barmaid, in a homely pub with a roaring fire, what more could you ask for?!
