Reviews in Cumbria and Lake District

Best pub for miles. Ace food / service / old traditional pub building What more could you want?

Top class Sunday lunch . Great service and food. The staff always seem happy to see you & make you feel very welcome. The cheesy leaks were just magnificent. The portion size was just right . Enough to fill but not over full .

Excellent food, interestingly different, beautifully presented, lovely surroundings. Staff attentive and friendly. A cushion on our seats would have been a bonus!

Lovely food, feels spacious as tables not too close together.

Really enjoyed our stay, the food was great, the service and staff very friendly, room was clean and nicely decorated, great traditional Cumbrian pub, would stay again

Came while on holiday and our meals were outstanding! Beautiful food! Just dont eat the day you are going! Portions are enormous!

Top food treated brilliantly by staff from start to finish . Loved it

When we vist carlisle we always book in here it is a fabulous restaurant and our food is always beautiful

Amazing food and service with a smile

Our first visit to the bistro and we weren’t disappointed. Great atmosphere, excellent food and a great choice of food. Very friendly staff. We had the French onion soup to start and it was delicious. A super evening and highly recommend.

I’m so pleased we ate at The Pheasant. Everything was great. Excellent service, lovely food and large portions, extensive menu, good value. This is a traditional pub, long may it last. Thank you for a lovely evening.

Lovely atmosphere, fantastic service and amazing food

Lovely meal, excellent service, great value for money. Despite arriving late after our train was cancelled this was no problem to them We will most definitely be back.

Brought my friend along who was visiting from out of town. Service and food was amazing as always and my friend love it as much as me. However, out night was dampened by a group of diners, who were extremely loud, disrespectful and seemed unaware they were dining in a restaurant, really tainted our night and not what I would expect

First class would recommend we will return

The food was really good although I've had better elsewhere, not that it will stop us visiting again. The service was a bit slow, others offered drinks at the table whilst we had to go to the bar to order. Again, not really an issue apart from the service charge which you feel obligated to pay for as they don't accept cash.

Had lasagne and got food poisoning, sauce was red hot but inside was only warm. £6 for non alcohol bottle same price as normal bottle. Tables so close waitresses backside was practically on out table.

This was our second time eating at Sage and Vine and we had a lovely time! The staff were very friendly and helpful, and explained the menu to us. The food was excellent. We shared a pizza and some small plates which we found to be just the right amount of food. We will definitely be returning! Thank you for a wonderful lunch time meal!
