Back to Base for another fabulous evening with the last day of the Christmas menu. As usual, everything was first rate, we have eaten very well locally and Base compares with the best. Mark's imagination and skills in the kitchen are only matched by the care he takes over every guest - my wife has all manner of food allergies which are always wonderfully catered for.
Here's to more success in 2024!!

Amazing breakfast!
Found by chance.
The sourdough, egg and mushrooms were delicious.
Eggy bread and bacon so yummy.
Fab drinks.
Dog friendly a bigger plus.
Great service and good value.

Fabulous! Is the only way to describe both the food and the staff. Went for my husbands Birthday and what a treat it was. Absolutely faultless. So nice to get that personal touch from the chef. First time will not be our last. Will be recommending to everyone!

Outstanding. The best food you will find in Ulverston hands down. The meal was fantastic and the staff were exceptional.

Vegetarian options: Chef is extremely accommodating for vegetarian and vegan guests.

Amazing food, atmosphere and experience at Base. The chef is amazing and with an open kitchen you can watch his skills. The staff are wonderful and very informative about the different courses and ingredients. We also had the wine paring which was also lovely. Overall a fabulous night.

4 PUDDINGS!! Yes. Last night, I had 4 puddings! Base Pudding Club was absolutely brilliant! The two savoury courses were awesome but all 4 puddings were amazing and I was in heaven! I hope they do another Pudding Club night as I’ll be the first at the door! Mojito Sorbet, Chocolate Bavarois, Rosy Apple and Lemon Fool. We’ve been here a few times before and the food is always excellent but it seems to be getting better every time we visit. Nice to find out last night that this place is dog friendly during the day too so we will be back for lunch!

A memorable meal - our fifth visit and it just gets better. Great care and attention to each dish with good flavours and imaginative use of ingredients. Spiced parsnip veloute was a revelation, the rabbit croquette really tasty, amazing halibut and two glorious sweets! Would highly recommend.

We had a light lunch. Freshly baked flatbread and fresh tomato soup. Excellent quality, all made from scratch. Friendly service.

A super gourmet evening taster meal .Excellent tasting food ,superbly presented .Accompanying wine choices were excellent and the staff ultra helpful and friendly .A chat with the chef and owner Mark toppled the night .For this standard the value for money was also very good .
Well done !

Excellent service, emailed Mark the chef about vegetarian starter preferences and he tailored the offering.
Service was attentive but not too fussy.
I'd have given 5 for the atmosphere as the vibe was really chilled but music is very important to me so would have preferred instrumental background music (that's subjective & such a first world problem!).
We had a great night and totally recommend this place.

Our grand daughter treated us for my birthday , there were three of us and we had booked earlier . The staff were lovely and even though they were very busy we got really excellent service . The food was served efficiently and cooked to perfection . We could not have been better looked after and we promised to visit again in the very near future .

I was quite underwhelmed sadly.
We turned up for our reserved table and the waitress shouted something to us at the door, but as she was shouting it across to us she had turned her back so we didn't make out what she was saying at first but it turned out she was saying basically sit where you want!
We could see our names on the reserved table so was slightly confused by the situation.
The food was OK but not to the standard wed hoped based on reviews we'd read. The reviews unfortunately didn't match the experience and we were hoping to try the evening menu with some friends but based on the lunch experience won't bother now.
The lack of experience of the waiting staff is definitely letting the restaurant down, it didn't feel genuine. We were asked if our food was OK a few minutes after it was served but the waitress had her back to us and was half way back on the restaurant by the time she'd finished asking us so felt it was insincere and she was just asking for the sake of asking. We'd hoped that it was going to be really good but unfortunately it was just average and over hyped. The final point to note was that we'd made a reservation at 1:30pm for a relaxing afternoon lunch on a special occasion, and an hour later the staff were locking up and we still had half a bottle of wine to finish!

Four of us had dinner at Base on Saturday and what a wonderful experience! All courses were exemplary and made harder by the fact that my wife has many dietary limitations (Glutens, onions, garlic, cauliflower..).
Mark and the boys were fantastic in the kitchen and Abby and the girls provided brilliant service front of house.Being locals, we will most definitely be back.

Once again an outstanding evening at Base. Mark and his team offer an evening of fantastic customer service and really wonderful food. Went for the evening tasting menu and it was full of flavour, both of us loved the gazpacho, full of flavour and with a hint of heat. There are too many good dishes to mention but the other that stood out was the S’mores, fun and messy to eat and a fine dining version of a camp fire classic. With Mark leading the kitchen and Abi leading front of house the have built an unrivalled team that never disappoint. We love to eat out in many restaurants but Base brings me back time and again and always will do, whether for a fantastic dinner or a casual lunch.

Great food and ambience, staff friendly and well informed. Delicious soup starter followed by a fish Kiev, fillet of beef and then two fab desserts! My Sister in law is allergic to nuts and we were more than happy with how the catered for her. 10/10

We’ve visited Base on several occasions and also had Mark’s dine out at home experience. Mark, Kirsti, Abbi and the team go above and beyond to make you feel comfortable and relaxed, whilst providing 5star food.
