Reviews in Cumbria and Lake District

Lovely meal with friends, had cod, sea bass, stroganoff and steak and was all well cooked and decent portions. Good selection of wines and friendly service.

Our second visit and again wonderful lunch. Food, staff and atmosphere could not be faulted. Highly recommend and we will be back.

This pub goes from strength to strength. Not just proper beer but increasingly wonderful food all served by genuinely hospitable staff.

Yet another amazing meal at the Horse and Farrier! Service was impeccable yet warm and friendly. My wife had the cod from the specials menu whilst I had the most amazing wild Cumbrian pheasant burger. Both were absolutely delicious, and washed down with stunning local ales! Couldn’t recommend it more highly!!!

60th birthday meal couldn't have been better, easily some of the best food we've ever had! Excellent use of local and seasonal ingredients. All 3 courses were delicious and beautifully presented. Service was spot on and all the staff are very welcoming and friendly. Well done to the chef and all the team.

What a find! Easy to book online. Helpful and friendly staff. A relatively limited menu, however, a good choice. We very rarely eat steak out as it is not always cooked to our liking. We decided on the fillet of beef stroganoff and we weren't disappointed. Excellent quality and it was cooked to perfection. Really good value for money. Would definitely go again.

Excellent evening, great beer , great food. Cumberland sausages to die for and very well looked after by Dave, an asset to the pub 10/10 Very easy to walk to through Fitz Park from town

Superb My wife and I came for dinner and had a great evening. The service was good, the drinks were good. The food was god. All boxes ticked. We have been before, so knew (hoped) what expect. We were not disappointed. We will be back in the area next year and sure to book in. We have also recommended Grants to where we stay.

Our meal at the Horse and Farrier was in our Top 10 of the best meals we have ever eaten! It was delicious in every way. Quality ingredients, excellent presentation with warm service. We will definitely return.

Nice bar with a good selection of ales. Food selection excellent and was top quality. Barman was chatty and good company. Only downside was the total lack of car parking outside, had to use a car park near by.

Despite a booking faux pad last year (not created by us I must stress) we decided to try The Pheasant again this year for Sunday lunch. The Beef pie was sublime and cooked to perfection along with gorgeous chips and seasonal vegetables. My favourite ale is Theakston Old Peculiar and in all honesty it was the best draught pint of TOP I've ever had, so thank you all at The Pheasant. My wife had the roast beef which she thought was truly excellent, the only critique would be is that the need could have been cut thinner rather than hunking great thick slices which made the best not easy to cut or chew. On the whole a lovely meal and well worth the booking.

Spent few days in Keswick and wanted and found a fantastic Sunday roast. On arriving the bar staff were welcoming and fun, classic pub very comfortable and enjoyed couple of decent pints. Food was amazing, tasty, hot, massive yorkie, crispy potatoes 10/10 followed by rare crumble which was unbelievable thank Pheasant Inn made my Sunday very special

We have a caravan in the area and The Pheasant is the best place we have found for meals, especially Sunday lunch. Dog friendly too!

Evening meal after driving up from Kent, excellent! Friendly welcome Excellent food, service and atmosphere. Will return.

Delicious food and excellent service. Gluten free options available. Would highly recommend.

Smart but cosy setting. Easy to book on line with reminders before our reservation time. Warm welcome and great relaxed atmosphere. Staff were particularly friendly. Food was of top quality and not too expensive. Excellent value for money. We had a lovely evening and will certainly go back.

Always go to The Pheasant when we're in Keswick. Great food and beer and a good atmosphere. Very cosy, proper pub.

Excellent as always, the food is always fresh and full of flavour and the service is outstanding!
