What can I say…. Group of 7 mates enjoying each other’s company in great surroundings with the most fabulous food and service.
I half don’t want to write this to keep this place a secret ….. but this is the best meal of 2021 we’ve had.

Really lovely evening: the menu was great; the flavours just mouth watering and very different. Watching the meals being served and the attention to detail was incredible to watch: a real art. The ambiance of the Venu was perfect and the service was faultless. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic meal with mouth watering flavours!
The set menu was just mouth watering: the flavours were just fantastic and left you wanting more. The waiting on staff gave full explanations of every course and at the end, the chef visited each table for individual feedback. The atmosphere was great: limited stables which felt comfortable in current times. A really enjoyable and relaxing evening. I would recommend booking in advance.

My partner and I stopped by Base for lunch after visiting the lighthouse, it was delicious so we decided to book the 7 course meal for a later date. The food was delicious, the different flavours were incredible and each meal was so beautifully presented. The whole experience was amazing; the staff were all great, especially Abbey who was so attentive and friendly. It was also lovely to speak to the chef who is super talented. We can not wait to return, thank you to the whole team for such a wonderful experience.

One of the best dining experiences and the food was exquisite. The 7 course meal was lovely enjoyed every part of the menu , and learnt that this changes weekly. You must book in advance. I was raving about it because it was superb. We were lucky enough to get a table at the front so we could see the chef cook and serve. - only around 17 people seated. Lovely atmosphere. Waitresses pleasant and tell you what each dish is. I was so full by the end I thought I would have to be rolled out. Will defo be back!

A fantastic, locally sourced menu with stunning flavours. Mark has a gift for creating delicious dishes - the citrus smoked sea trout was truly memorable. A real gem of a find - Mark is definitely a chef to watch.

Our first visit last night to Base...... and what a gastronimic treat. We will definitely be back.
Every one of the 7 courses were delicious, and between us we had both the Vegetarian and Meat menus. Everything was cooked to perfection and beautifully presented. The team were friendly, knowledgeable and enthusiastic about bringing local Cumbrian produce to our table.Simply fantastic.

Having read the previous reviews I knew we were in for a great meal, but this was even better than we had imagined. On a very wet day, we decided to have lunch here and opted for a selection of the small plates. They were beautifully presented and particular highlights were the Halloumi Fries, Goats Cheese Bon Bons and Buffalo Wings. In fact everything sounded so appetising, that they will require further visits!
And a special mention must go to the Salt & Rosemary Chips, full of flavour and very moreish. Children are also catered for with a good range of choices for them too, again, these went down well. Service was also excellent and this restaurant deserves all the accolades it is receiving. We will definitely return for an evening meal and for more lunches too. A fantastic place to go when you're in Ulverston, located in lovely Ford Park and just at the bottom of the walk up Hoad Hill.

We've been coming to this establishment for many years and been astonished by the standard of the meals.
People thinking it's just a park cafe must think again.
Excellent food and service + dog friendly

Came across Base today on our way back down from the John Barrow monument in Ulverston.
What a gem! Fabulously simple, small plates of the most delicious, well presented food. Fantastic service from friendly staff and a chef who clearly loves what he’s doing. Very highly recommended.

Our first visit to Base and already looking forward to the next! Outstanding and delicious food, with very professional and friendly service. It’s lovely to be able to watch the dishes being prepared, with everything done so calmly and with meticulous care. All in all a wonderful evening from start to finish.

We visited base restaurant on a visit to Ulverston and weren’t disappointed. The evening meal is a set tasting menu although the chef can tailor the dishes to accommodate any dietary requirements. The kitchen is open so you watch the food being prepared as you’re dining. Excellent food and great service. Would recommend.

Lovely place
But £7 for carrot soup with NO bread 😳
Friendly service but ordered fizzy water and it was a huge bottle... enough for 2 but they didn't tell us that. Bread cost £3 and was very thoroughly handled

Fabulous meal at the Base Restaurant on Saturday evening to celebrate our wedding anniversary.
The whole atmosphere, food, service was superb. It was fantastic to watch Mark and his team prepare the set meals under our watchful eye, the attention to detail is second to none in the preparation in adding the final touches to the food/ dishes (please see attached photos).
Mark does try to use a locally sourced food influence his menus and it really works.
Thanks again to all the staff, the service team in their new uniforms which look so professional, the kitchen team and of course Mark, cannot wait to return.

I'll keep it simple as raving about specific courses is irrelevant as the menu changes weekly.
From start to finish the evening was superb. Lovely relaxed atmosphere.Excellent food. Amazing value. Enjoy what a very talented chef has to offer.
The staff are lovely and helpful and add to the evening.I'm not local, tonight makes me wish I was.

Food was excellent and would definitely return, especially with the menu changing every week. The whole service lasted 3 hours which was a tad long for me but apart from that it was a very good meal

A great concept of a set menu with six courses for a small and very friendly restaurant. Food and wine superb at a good price.
Staff were all very engaging with Head Chef Mark taking time to speak to all of his guests.
I very rarely leave a review so this just goes to show how impressed we were.
We will certainly be back.

We were all impressed with the menu, how it was cooked, and presented. The ever changing menu that is never repeated showed how much thought the chef went to innovate and test new exciting new conceptions. We had squirrel, to gin-infused salmon, to king oyster mushrooms to rib-eye steak and found new fennel fans in my family. He really knows his desserts with a mad combination of flavours complementing one another delightfully.
