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!

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.

First visit to the area, so had coffee here before walking up to the monument. Having then seen the menu, we decided to have lunch afterwards. What an absolute treat!! An imaginative menu, rather than just your normal sandwiches, soup, burgers etc. Very tasty, well presented, locally sourced ingredients, unpretentious and reasonably priced. The staff were all pleasant, friendly and helpful too. Even the chef came out to talk to people. Certainly a lesson to other food outlets in the area.

We made our fourth visit to Base last night. The staff are always so welcoming and friendly. When booking I request a vegan menu and it is always amazing. Really delicious courses and beautifully presented. It was the first time we've been since they introduced the wine pairing option which really enhanced the experience. Would highly recommend a visit to Base.

A small restaurant with a warm and friendly atmosphere. Mark and his team could not have done more. We loved how you could see Chef at work and the care and attention he took with every dish.
His food was beautifully presented and the flavour combinations were exactly as described on the website, exciting!
We were pleasantly full at the end of our meal and the wine pairing was excellent.
Our first visit but will not be our last. Thank you

Went to base with my husband a mum for a belated Mother’s Day lunch. It was a lovely day and the outside terrace was buzzing with activity. I ordered the butter bean cassoulet which I’d been tempted by before but never tried. It was absolutely delicious and a perfect portion size for lunch. Mum and hubby ordered the duck flatbreads and salt and chilli chips..also delicious, clean plates all round. Staff were friendly and attentive covering customers needs either seated, take out or serving ice creams. Highly recommend for something a bit special for lunch at a very reasonable price.

A wonderful evening with amazing food created by the very talented homegrown Mark Satterthwaite. The best beef that I have ever tasted sourced from a local farm. A real experience and treat. Book yourself a table and enjoy! 🍾🍾

Wonderful tasting menu, can’t recommend it highly enough! The mackerel and the beef are utterly outstanding, the additional optional cheese course, had some of my favourites and new things I haven’t tried before, which is really rare. Well done Mark and the Base team, keep up the good work!

We went for the evening taster menu. Once again absolutely gorgeous food. I love this place. May seem expensive at £49 but honestly worth every penny. Let’s face it if you have 3 courses in a pub it can easily cost 35 to 40 upwards.
It’s also great for lunch and brunch with a walk up the Hoad.
Someone else has posted photos of this nights menu but a couple more . A pudding (yes you get two!) and the appetiser.
