About Us
Fellinis is a modern 'Vegeterranean' restaurant catering for the most discerning vegetarian palate with a distinct Mediterranean twist.
Above the restaurant our state of the art digital cinema shows the latest arthouse, niche film productions and live satellite link screenings.
There is a lounge bar area adjoining the screen with a full licence.

Zeffirellis
About Us
Zeffirellis began life in 1980. From simple beginnings it has grown into an award-winning contemporary restaurant. Offering a modestly priced Italian-inspired vegetarian menu focusing on pizza and pasta dishes, Zeffirellis continues to delight both locals and visitors alike.
Housed in the original Ambleside cinema building, the stylish decor and ambience enhance a unique dining experience. The combined dinner and cinema offer with exceptional service is as popular as ever.
At any time of the year Zeffirellis remains a vibrant hub in Ambleside. We have hosted film premieres: ‘Withnail and I’, Ken Russell’s ‘Gothic’, Sir Anthony Hopkins BBC film, ‘Across the Lake’ and many superb, live musical events.

Fellinis
About Us
Fellinis was founded in 2009 and is housed in the former Conservative Club building, where the twisting staircase first inspired the vision for a truly special venue.
Designed to offer a complete evening out, Fellinis combines a carefully curated cinema programme with an elegant vegetarian restaurant. Guests can enjoy a refined fine dining experience, with a menu that changes regularly to reflect the seasonal flavours of the Mediterranean.
Whether you choose our popular dinner-and-cinema package or attend one of our special event screenings, including Ballet, Opera and Theatre, Fellinis offers a memorable and sophisticated experience.
