Despite a number of visits to Ulverston we were not aware of this amazing restaurant. Passing at lunch time and tempted by the amazing food smells coming from the restaurant we booked for dinner.
What a surprise awaited us. The quality of ingredients, the balance of flavours and the immaculate presentation would grace a top class restaurant anywhere, The skill and flair of the chef was wonderful to experience. We have rarely enjoyed a meal so much and given the standard of the food and lovely service we felt it was really great value too. Will recommend this restaurant to everyone.

We had a great dining experience on Saturday night with beautifully created, tasty dishes. We could see chef preparing the dishes throughout the night and the staff described what was on the plates as they were presented. The pace the meal was served was great and the staff were knowledgeable about each dish. Would reccommend highly and due to the ever changing menu we will definitely be back.

Food is amazing and dinner is a true dining experience. Look no further when booking for Anniversaries or special celebrations

A surprise birthday celebration dinner took us to a restaurant that we knew nothing about - no preconceptions before we arrived. The former coach house had been converted into a cafe by day and a fine dining restaurant by night. Our table of 4, along with 12 other guests, filled the compact but comfortable dining area and we were all sat down to a excellent fixed menu of 7 courses. The quality and presentation of the food was to the highest standard, with a special mention for the watermelon gazpacho, which layered, one after another, multiple flavours and textures, dazzling the palate. The open kitchen was in sight of all, and seeing Chef Mark Satterthwaite in action preparing the courses added to the enjoyment of the evening. It was a most memorable meal and a great pleasure to experience another jewel in the crown of outstanding South Cumbria fine dining restaurants.
Highly recommended!

Really delicious food in a lovely setting with great staff. Loved that the menu offers dairy free options as well as gluten free and vegetarian so it was super easy for me to order a meal- and there were choices!!! Highly recommend

This was a lovely relaxing atmosphere & ambience. The food was exceptional and outstandingly sensationaly presented & tasted really amazing. The staff were friendly & helpful.
I liked how the chef came over to chat to each individual table at the end. It was a work of art watching him dress the plates of food & a pleasure to see. I would highly recommend, The Base Resturant.

Any words I use to describe this culinary experience simply will not do it justice, I honestly haven't tasted flavours like this before. Watching the chef prepare each dish with love and attention to detail was a joy. I can't praise Base and ALL it's staff enough, bravo

I wasn’t sure what to expect approaching Base after all the amazing reviews but I had nothing to worry about. From the time we arrived the service was excellent. The food was so well presented and so full of a variety of flavours. It was a nice touch for the chef to chat to us afterwards about our experience. From start to finish a wonderful evening and it made my brothers birthday that more special.

WHAT A TREAT 😍
Huge thanks to Satty, Kirsty & team at Base Restaurant last night!!! Absolutely incredible cuisine - nobody is doing Fine Dining like this in Furness - with wine pairings too!! 😋
We’re late to the party on this one but absolutely delighted to finally try this gem of a restaurant right on our doorstep in Ulverston. Fresh local produce with a *different taster menu for dinner every week*, we were blown away with the flavours Satty creates with his food - we can completely see why you were on MasterChef : The Professionals 🤩
Great wine list too - delighted you have a Gewurtztraminer on there - some of my fellow winos will love that too!
We’ll be definitely be back very soon!!! Cheers! 🥂💖✨

Absolutely fabulous evening. We went on a Thursday evening for the seven course tasting menu and Wow! Every course was amazing. It tasted wonderful and was beautifully presented. Quite simply the best meal I have had since I had to go gluten free eight years ago. The service was first class too - efficient, friendly and discreet. Can’t wait to go back.

Fabulous seven courses…original plates with a taste sensation. Watch the chef plate up precisely with each one looking exactly the same. Highly recommended.

We take recommendations lightly until we have been ourselves, but after picking a evening menu that suited us, we booked and hoped it stood up to its reputation!
It was by far the best meal we have had in the lakes if not the UK!! Rivaled every Michelin starred dinner we have eaten and for £50 per person!!
7 courses of local, well balanced ingredients. Presented beautifully Infront of the guests.
Staff where attentive and unfussy, wine pairing was fantastic and Abi explained each dish/wine as it arrived.
Scampi and chips and the Peach Melba where standout dishes but all extremely good.
The chef came around to talk to all the guests at the end which is a really nice touch, he talked through the dishes and favourites.
All in all a fantastic experience if you enjoy finer dining.
2 set dinners, wine pairing and 2 local beers £139 Extremely good value for money we will definitely be back as the menu changes regularly, so we can't wait to return to try other menu's.
Thank you all at the Base for a fantastic evening.

We came across the venue by chance while staying in Ulverston for a vintage cycling festival. We visited on the evening sitting. The menu was a fixed tasting menu. The food was excellent and the service good. It was a joy to watch the chefs prepare and plate the food. We will be back.

Absolutely excellent meal here. Seven delicious courses all very original and beautifully presented. Very tasty little touches like vinegar gel with scampi, garlic ash with consommé, really well done and up at the same level as fine restaurants with Michelin stars. The wine flight and cheese course well worth having. We will definitely be back will happily make hour and a half journey to come here, it’s worth it. Thank you

Stunning local food presented perfectly by an amazing chef. It was a fantastic experience watching the Chef assemble the dishes and each one was simply scrumptious.
The environment may not be to everyone's taste as it is basically set out like a nice cafe but that didn't bother my wife and I. We were there for the food and we were just overwhelmed. The service was also impeccable. All in all we would thoroughly recommend!

We booked for a meal with the wine pairing at Base to celebrate our 11 year anniversary (little did I know it was also a engagement celebration meal too) and I can’t think of the words to describe how incredible the whole meal was! From the moment we arrived we were welcomed so warmly and the waiting staff made us feel really special in our celebrations.
Every single course was exquisite and it’s hard to pin point a course as they were all so perfect. Between me and my partner we had a vegetarian option and a meat option and the food was just exceptional across all the courses. We also had the wine pairing with it and again it just made the meal even more perfect.
Would 100% recommend to anyone who likes great food, great service and a great experience!
Thank you for having us and making our engagement celebrations so perfect!

I booked the evening set menu for my mum’s birthday as a friend had recommended Base. The food looked amazing on the website and the menus were really interesting. The set menu changes weekly with fresh, in season, local produce. We were met by friendly and welcoming staff; the set-up is open and it’s great to be able to see chefs preparing your food - really builds the anticipation as you see the ingredients and the dishes built at the pass. The staff were great at explaining each dish and everything was fantastic. I have a shellfish allergy and the dish I couldn’t eat was replaced without an issue. Each course was well paced and the evening felt relaxed throughout (sometimes you can feel either too rushed on or be waiting too long between courses with set menus I find). The business model of a single sitting of a set menu is a fantastic idea too, meaning a massive cut in food wastage, something we’re all more aware of these days. The chef took the time to come and talk to all the tables at the end of the night and it was great to hear his passion for local, and sustainable food coming through.
Overall a fantastic night….we’ll definitely be back!

We came across this by chance whilst walking up to the John Barrow monument. Went in for their pre lunch menu and each had the pancakes. The quality is amazing and can tell they take pride in serving high quality and aesthetically pleasing dishes. Definitely worth a visit to this hidden away location.
