About This Pub
You know, I popped into The Quarterhouse the other week and it really left a positive mark – it's one of those places that just feels right for a casual catch-up with mates. The food stands out as a real winner; they've got these seasonal menus packed with top-notch local produce from Lancashire and the Lakes, and dishes like the scallop in romesco sauce or the melt-in-your-mouth pork belly are just pure joy. Pair that with cracking cocktails, and you're in for a treat. The atmosphere is spot on too – it's cosy without being cramped, with a bright, airy feel that makes you want to linger. On the downside, the service had a few wobbles; our server seemed a bit stretched, which meant waits were longer than ideal, and it's worth noting the table time limits if you're planning a long night. All in all, with such glowing feedback from folks who've been, it's a solid choice for a meal out, but maybe pick a quieter time to avoid any hitches.

Recent Reviews
We visited the Quaterhouse last night and really enjoyed our meal.
The cocktails were very nice, we particularly enjoyed the summer sangria. We ordered 5 small plates and 3 sides which was a good amount for the 2 of us. We really liked the pressed potato chips, king prawns and garlic French toast however this was a bit spicy!
There were a few things that could be improved. The toilet needed a bit of work, there wasn’t a coat hook for example and some of the finishes were worn down. We were also given a dirty knife and they didn’t have the scallops which was disappointing and we were told until after we had ordered.
At the end of our meal we saw someone order the surf and turf which looked amazing. We would order that if we were to return.
Overall a lovely meal, with a few tweaks it would be excellent.
Delicious spot for lunch! Outstanding little restaurant/brasserie/bistro spot with a small but very well executed menu. The food was some of the best I ate in Lancaster. Fresh, tasty and perfectly prepared. The place is small but feels larger than it is and is very bright and airy. The quality of the staff matched the quality of everything else, top notch. Definitely check this place out if you're hungry in Lancaster. The Lancashire Benedict is highly recommended!!
Cozy with a lot of atmosphere, where you can eat amazing food! And Rhubarb dessert, the best ever! All the food is perfect here! And attention, recommendations from service staff are second to none!
Fantastic restaurant. The food was a real surprise. So tasty, so fresh, so appetising. Especially enjoyed the Scallop in Romescu sauce and the Pork belly with black pudding, it literally was melt in your mouth tender. Can't wait to come back again.
The food was delightful—creative, delicious, and thoroughly enjoyable. We had a great selection of nibbles and hot dishes, all of which we loved. The girl who served us was very sweet, and while her service was appreciated, we expected a slightly higher standard. She seemed a bit overwhelmed, and while listing ingredients is helpful, a more engaging and knowledgeable narration of the dishes would better reflect their exceptional quality. Otherwise, the food risks being undersold. Just a friendly suggestion.
