Base restaurant in a word … DIVINE. A notch above all other local restaurants.
A standout dining experience in Ulverston tucked away from the main centre. It’s a proper foodies, little hidden gem. It’s also opposite the most quaint community garden at Forde Park - if you go at lunchtime the gate will be open. A nice stroll around the quaint garden
for 10-15mins before /after in the summer months.
We’ve been trying for 4 years to visit to coincide with the tasting menu but every year it’s either full or the dates clash in July.
My partner & I both ordered the chicken Kiev with serious slithers of black truffle on a pomme purée base and gorgeous greens for lunch.
I would go as far as to say … If I had to pick a last supper this would be it. A simple dish elevated by a talented chef.
I wish we lived closer to this restaurant as I would be a regular. Thank you to the staff / owner too as they couldn’t have been more welcoming, very relaxed people whilst being attentive to every detail.

We were impressed with Ford Park - lovely walks, flowers & trees, play areas, gym equipment, plenty of benches - a little gem.

What a find. The ambience of the Hive is wonderful, the staff were brilliant and oh so friendly. But the food, just wow! Best tapas we have had in years. You must have the Calamari. Each dish we chose was superb. Thank you all at the Hive for an unforgettable experience. Neil and Leigh

Didnt pop in for food but to have a chat with Mark the owner organising my sons wedding in August. Very helpful and talked through everything needed for the day. Wonderful venue for an intimate gathering for special occasions.
At the base of the picturesque Hoad hill and adjacent to Ford Park.

There are no words to convey just how amazing the 7 course menu we sampled last night! Having been to these nights on several occasions (and absolutely loved them all and all the courses!) last night surpassed these! The mackerel tartare topped with pickled Kohlrabi was a sensation, the lamb was the best I’ve ever had and the desserts … just wow! If you want an amazing culinary experience in relaxed surroundings this place is for you!

No words could do justice to the exceptional 7 course monthly menu we had the pleasure of trying last night! Every course was pure perfection - if you love food you need to pay this gem of a restaurant a visit. I’m still thinking about every course - mackerel tartare was sublime, the lamb was the best I’ve ever eaten and the desserts .. sensational!

Small indoor market in a traditional market/tourist town, looked fully let with plenty of variety of stalls. Nicely old fashioned gave out a good vibe.
