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.

Having moved to Ulverston some eight months ago and during Covid Base was our first place to visit. Twas certainly worth the wait, not sure if anywhere else will come close to the amazing food that was presented to us last night. This restaurant is most definitely worth a visit and we’re already planning our next.

Popped in for lunch and really enjoyed it! Had previously ordered food to heat at home for Christmas (please do this again!) and a lockdown takeaway. Both absolutely delicious.
Lunch was great. Ordered a selection of small plates - perfect if you want to try a few of the menu items. My daughter is a vegetarian and it was great for her to have so many options. Everything we tried was delicious and we couldn’t quite finish the 3 small plates and portion of chips!
Sat outside as it was warm although have to say we were a little bit plagued with wasps at this time of year so would book to sit indoors in the future.
Great little venture in Ford Park - perfect for a casual lunch or special evening meal.

My wife and I visited here for the second time and we had a fantastic meal cooked to perfection by Mark again.
All meals were fantastic, wine decent and left with full bellies and in great spirits. Highly recommended, can’t wait to go again.
