Gilpin Spice

Seriously impressive food and awesome, friendly service. Everyone knows their stuff here from help with your wine selection to ordering food. With an open kitchen to watch your food being prepared and chat with the chefs, who were more than happy too(which is not always the case with chefs, I know 😉). Great buzz in the dining area, too. We came here for a joint birthday meal and everything was perfect, I can't wait to return.

Great find. Dishes were bursting with Asian spice flavors, balanced and not overly spicy.

Dining at Spice in the Gilpin Hotel was an exceptional experience. The fusion of flavors and spices in every dish was outstanding, delivering bold and exciting tastes with every bite. The ambiance was warm and inviting, perfect for a relaxed yet refined evening. The service was top notch staff were attentive, friendly, and made excellent recommendations. Overall, Spice offers a unique and memorable dining experience that I would highly recommend to anyone visiting the area.

Superb dining experience at the Gilpin this week. We've visited a few times over the years. The food is always perfect and we left more than satisfied. Great surrounding, beautiful location-what more can you ask for.

Had 2 wonderful meals here during our week in Bowness. The decor and atmosphere were lovely and it was nice to watch the chefs working from the chefs table. The food was amazing and the service was friendly, welcoming and comfortable right from our greeting. Prices were also good value.

We ate at Gilpin spice for my fiancée birthday. We visited earlier this year with friends and always said we would go back. The food was amazing so tasty and delicious. We sat at the kitchen table which we didn’t book but glad we got the chance to sit here. It was brilliant watching the chefs at work. I would highly recommend Gilpin spice to anybody. It’s a very relaxed atmosphere nice background music. Just give it a try you will not be disappointed. Nice of the head chef to get our names to thank us also which is a nice touch. I had the ox cheek which doesn’t require a knife as it’s like butter and my partner had pork belly which was cooked perfect.

The only disappointment was that it had to end - Top tier dining! 🏆 Everything from the food to the interior decor to the ambience was fantastic. We were blown away by the flavours and presentation of all the food we ordered (spicy tuna sushi, crab, ox cheek, king prawns, mango kulfi & Jamaican spiced cake)! The staff were very friendly and helpful with any questions we had. Would not hesitate to recommend this to anyone who enjoys full flavoured Asian food 👌

Mixed experience, whilst some of the food was very good, I thought my main was average. we were located just outside the main seating area and as such, at times, felt neglected, it did feel that they were short staffed for a Saturday night. Being just outside the main seating area meant the atmosphere was lacking, I’m sure this would have been much better in the main area, so not quite sure why they have this arrangement.
