Reviews in Cumbria and Lake District

Great service and a delicious meal. We had our own dining room too for our Christmas family get together

What a fantastic find. I booked this restaurant because of the great reviews it received & it didn’t fail. The restaurant was lovely, the food was excellent & the service was first class. We will visit here again when we are next in Carlisle.

Excellent. Food service atmosphere and choice of gluten free beers. A real treat!

Great restaurant, Beautiful food .

Thank you lovely evening meal good hot curry

Fabulous home cooked foods. Everything was piping hot and very good portions. Cosy intimate little country pub feel and service was prompt and friendly. Can’t fault a thing. There was even a smaller appetites section on the menu which is brilliant for children but also anyone who isn’t a big eater. Beautiful meal. Thank you

This place is always a treat to visit! Excellent food and brilliant service. I thoroughly recommend anyone looking for an Italian restaurant in Carlisle, to go here.

The pub is so lovely and bar staff so nice but I have to be honest the food wasn't great overpriced for what you get sorry

One of my favourite - and my family's - favourite restaurant. Food always tasty and good value for money - especially during Happy Hour, obviously! - and the staff are always so friendly and attentive. My 11 year-old grandson has had his last two birthday meals there and I'm not surprised because the food is so good and such a good choice. Plus the staff always make a fuss of him!

Food and service first class. Will certainly be back

Food and beer was amazing and a proper pub that hasn't had its heart ripped out. Chris the waiter was a lovely guy. Will deffo return.

Food was beautiful. It was very busy but service was still excellent. Highly reccomend

Brilliant, as always! Favourite Italian in town - fantastic food & great atmosphere!

A gem of a restaurant in the centre of Carlisle. Always a friendly welcome. Staff knowledgeable about the dishes on menu. If you like to try lots of smaller plates, it's a great place to come. Woodfired pizza is delicious.

Lovely meal. Good service. Nice atmosphere. Warming fire. All good. Thank you Phesant Inn Team x
