Reviews in Cumbria and Lake District

Delicious food in beautiful traditional surroundings. The pie was outstanding as usual.

Absolutely amazing service and food. Will definitely be back.

Lovely little pub, Sunday lunch today was epic, 1 vegetarian option, and 1 lamb, portions were generous, with plenty of gravy, great selection of vegetables, and a monster Yorkshire pudding. The sticky toffee pudding was to die for. All the staff were efficient, polite, and friendly, and we didn't have to wait long for our food. I really have nothing negative to say

Lovely atmosphere, great service, tremendous food and good value.

Small town centre restaurant, with free evening parking nearby. Food delicious and beautifully presented. Service excellent.

Our first visit to Grasmere and this dog friendly restaurant. The presentation of food was first class and all three courses were delicious. We would have welcomed a larger portion of vegetables,but that's just us. The staff were welcoming and helpful. Definitely recommend .

Relaxing atmosphere, great menu, tasty food, good ales on tap, good service. Highly recommended

Very enjoyable evening. Busy restaurant with splendid views. Lovely soufflé starter and lamb harissa to follow. Menu is not a standard one; there wasn’t too much meat from which to choose. Only disappointment was a lack of zero alcohol gin.

My wife and I eat at the Wheatsheaf 3-4 times a year and in the past have always enjoyed the food/experience. We had dinner yesterday evening (19:00) and sadly were disappointed. The usual young lady who runs the restaurant so efficiently was missing and I have to say standards dropped. My wife’s food - pie, chips and peas was cold and when she asked for the peas to be warmed, they were returned still cold. This was rectified later. My steak was tasty and well cooked as requested. Service was ok but a bit slower than usual. However, the young waitress was abrupt and unfriendly (or so it seemed). I appreciate every establishment has an off night and there may be circumstances of which we’re not aware.

A pleasantly busy bistro, with great ambience and a nicely decorated space. Food was excellently cooked and there was a good wine list. Staff could not have been friendlier. Recommended and definitely worth a visit - but you’ll have to book!

Had afternoon tea on Saturday. It was lovely. We have had afternoon tea in various places but this was by far the best. Will certainly be back to check out other items on the menu.

This is a very friendly family run pub with a brilliant kitchen. We regularly stay at the Crossroads B&B on our way back from Scotland (same proprietors). As well as being very friendly and accommodating we really look forward to the high quality of the food both at the pub in the evening and at breakfast in the morning at the B&B. 10 out of 10 from us. Well worth a visit.

Loved the nachos sharing starter it was amazing best we have ever had. Main meal was average to poor. Chips were very dry. Service was very slow- it was busy. We were served meal without cutlery and had to ask several times before we got some. There were a lot of flies in the restaurant which I think is the heat. Overall disappointing.

The food was amazing and the staff helpful. After a first course did not appear (the main meal was superb). The cheese plate which we shared between 2 from the dessert menu was wonderful. I would recommend this place for anyone staying in Grasmere but you must book as it is very popular. So why oh why is the street appeal so bad - dead plants or weeds in the planters, it would not take much effort to bring these planters in line with other wonderful specimens in the town.

Unfortunately my wife and I were disappointed with our meals. We had a birthday voucher purchased by a family member who had dined with you and was really impressed. I have to say that I have never felt the need to complain about a meal ever in my my life, but the quality of my meal was poor and the steak was undercooked. I should have complained. We didnt think it was worth the long walk from town. Sorry

Went in for lunch with family, the food was amazing. Pizza as always where outstanding and the selection of tapas where ordered where simply delicious. Service was also A1 as usual. Highly recommend

Food was excellent as always. Friendly staff made us feel welcome and valued

Delightful dining experience with fabulous quality food, well-thought out creative dishes and drinks, enhanced by an extremely professional, courteous and considerate team.
