Royal Oak - Table reservation

We dined here on the last night of our Honeymoon in the Lakes. Unfortunately there was a party, who were old enough to know better, who were loud, abusive towards the staff and demanding their money back. The waitress looked about 18 and was left...in tears by this party, but this didn't stop her from being incredibly attentive to our needs and moving us to a private area away from the disruption. She even offered dinner by candlelight when she found out we were on Honeymoon! Firstly, there are prices on the menu and, secondly, we paid after out meal.

Booked this pub for evening meal three days in advance only to find it in complete darkness when arrived, after getting bus from Grange Over Sands and climbing steep hill to get there. I rang pub from outside to find out what was going on...and wentbto answer phone. I did get call back 5 minutes later to be told by a male, who presumably was landlord or manager that they had to close due to staff holidays and that he didn't know why my booking was taken.

please with the meal, service and ambiente. the menu didn't seem to fit what we found on the line. the smoked speckkoffer was good as the meatcake of my wife. the shock came with the price for wein. I expect a premium to be calculated in these difficult times, but 400% on the basis of Tesco prices? I had hoped to make a few visits during my two weeks vacation, but £28 for a bog standard bottle wein has left an acid taste in my mouth and I fear they have lost a customer.
