The Yan @ Broadrayne

Had a meal last night to celebrate a birthday , from the minute we walked in to leaving the staff were very friendly and attentive! The bistro itself is stunning , very cosy and welcoming! We had a side /starter of warm fresh sourdough bread with butter , followed by the lamb Shepherds pie and the Cheeky Pie - both dishes were superb! I myself had the Cheeky pie and have to say it’s one of the best for flavour I’ve had , and I do like a pie!! Both dishes were the chefs own twist on classic dishes but certainly worked!! We loved them , we finished with a cocktail each we’d never heard of but again both were excellent! Can’t recommend The Yan enough , if you want excellent food and service and something abit different give it a try !

We’ve just returned from the most wonderful two-night stay at The Yan in Grasmere, where we stayed in the Seat Sandal self-catering pod – and what an exceptional experience it was. The pod was absolutely immaculate on arrival – beautifully presented, spotlessly clean and incredibly well thought out. Everything we could possibly need had been provided, from fresh milk and tea, coffee and sugar to the most gorgeous Pure Lakes toiletries. There was ample firewood supplied too, which made the evenings feel extra cosy. It’s those thoughtful little touches that really elevate a stay, and The Yan gets it just right. We also made great use of the excellent selection of walking guides available in the pod, which helped us make the most of the stunning surroundings. The location felt perfectly balanced – peaceful, private and wonderfully remote, yet only around a 20-minute walk into Grasmere. The ideal base for exploring without being in the thick of it. The team were all fantastic throughout our stay, but a special mention has to go to Erin, who was incredibly friendly, welcoming and attentive. She really made us feel looked after. We also dined in the restaurant and were blown away – it’s a gorgeous setting with truly amazing food. The highlight for us was the Sunday dinner, which was hands down one of the best we’ve had. All in all, an exceptional stay from start to finish. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend The Yan and can’t wait to return.

Fabulous food in a beautiful restaurant. You can tell everything is made with a passion for great food and a really warm service. Our dog was also made to feel more than welcome. We'll certainly be back at this wonderful high end restaurant. 10/10 🥰🐾👌
