Quick info
About Brown Sugar
At Acme House in Windermere, Brown Sugar is a restaurant with separate breakfast and lunchtime menus and evening meals after that. The banoffee pie arrives as an oversized portion, so it works as a dessert to split between people. Cappuccino comes with a stick of brown sugar and a small almond bite on the side. For something savoury, the menu includes a fish finger butty, and the fries come in garlic parmesan truffle and halloumi versions. Cakes and pastries sit alongside a wine and cocktail selection. Veggie options are on the menu, and the kitchen also caters for gluten-free diners.

Customer Review Summary
The criticism is sharper but less frequent. Two reviewers describe food that missed the mark: garlic parmesan truffle fries arriving undercooked with little garlic, parmesan, or truffle, greasy halloumi fries, a fish finger butty with one finger containing almost no fish, and chips that seemed reheated. One also describes a table left uncleared with a half-eaten waffle on it, replacement drinks that never arrived, and a food runner who was rude on the stairs. Another notes the gents toilets had no seat.

“We came here on Monday at around 2 ish- it had plenty of space and the service was impeccable. From the moment we walked in, we were very welcome and the atmosphere was remarkable. They had plenty of Veggie options and the deserts are 10/10- would highly recommend the banoffee pie. Our server Alan was an absolute gem, went out of his way to make us comfortable and even bought my little sibling the rock sugar stick that she was too shy to ask for. Alan was a gem ! 💎. Would defo recommend.”

“Stayed two nights in Windermere this week and Brown Sugar is the place to eat. Top notch evening meals, great breakfasts and don't skip out on their banoffee pie. It's a monster of a portion, so you may want to share. Could probably feed five, to be honest 😂 great staff, service and food quality. Highly recommended. A+++++”

“I would like to preface by saying that I have many years of hospitality experience and do understand how a restaurant SHOULD run and this just is not that. Staff seem poorly trained and overrun with orders, and as a result of this food arrives as though it has been rushed. Garlic parmesan truffle fries arrived undercooked and with a lack of garlic parmesan or truffle :( as well as this, halloumi fries are extremely greasy. I know that reviews are read but instead of spending time arguing back with the poor quality of service maybe try to improve it. Thank you !”

“My sister and I visited Brown Sugar a little while ago, and it was honestly one of the best experiences I’ve had. The staff were all incredibly sweet, and a woman I believe was the owner was especially lovely and welcoming to both of us. The food and drinks were amazing. I would definitely recommend and can’t wait to come back!”
