Reviews in Cumbria and Lake District

There were 6 of us last night,very busy,but no problems at all,food excellent no complaints from anyone,the staff were very friendly,and although it was busy the service was excellent also,

My partner and I came here for dinner for my birthday and we absolutely loved it. The staff were all really friendly and kind, the pub is one of the few truly traditional country pubs left in Cumbria, with a lovely atmosphere - this was our second time visiting and both times we didn't want to leave! We will definitely be back soon :)

Lovely food,well presented Service excellent,accommodating when 2 of the party were delayed

Food was good (chicken Caesar salad excellent and gammon good).., was disappointed menu had changed as I’d been a week before and had the steak which was excellent and had looked forward all day to my steak. Which unfortunately had been taken off the new menu and I had to have the chicken Caesar salad which was good but did not compare with the excellent quality and the cooking of the steak . My party felt the music was a bit loud and struggled to hear the conversations.. I will definitely return and fingers crossed the steak will come back on the menu

What is there not to like?! The ambience was lovely, service great, food and wine superb. We had a lovely evening thanks! I'd recommend this gem is well worth a visit.

Always a pleasure to eat here. Staff lovely. Thoroughly recommend it.

Great service and excellent food Lamb Henry was a real pleasure very good and huge portion. Good beer and fabulous service no complaints at all which is rare nowadays highly recommended

5 star!

Very friendly, good food and even a meal for the dog

We thoroughly enjoyed our meal here. I am a diagnosed Coeliac and felt very confident that the chef would do his utmost to avoid cross contamination, although it was a small kitchen. Saying that, talking to the chef afterwards, he said that he doesn’t have flour in his kitchen. He uses cornflour if he has to. With regards to atmosphere , my husband and I were the first customers in for the early sitting, although gradually during our meal the restaurant did fill up. We didn’t feel rushed or uncomfortable though. I had salmon which was delicious and a huge piece. My husband had the Belly Pork which he thoroughly enjoyed. We ate here originally on the Wednesday night and before leaving, booked again for the Saturday night. I would definitely recommend.

Outstanding food and service in a traditional pub. Beef pie, best chips you'll ever have, veg, sticky toffee pudding, 2 pints of bitter. Tough to beat anywhere.

A superb restaurant with a great menu. The warm friendly service was first class. I would not hesitate recommending this restaurant to anyone. We will definitely be back.

Great food, great service and good atmosphere. Would eat there again.

As said previously, a little gem of a find. I am Coeliac and the chef (presume owner) came out to explain what I could have r that was gluten free and how he could adapt sauces. The meal was absolutely delicious. We booked for 6.45pm and it was a shame that there were only three tables in use, one being a single diner, all the time we were there. This was on a Friday night as well. I don’t know why but the location may put people off as it’s situated at the back of the chocolate shop and the outside doesn’t seem very welcoming. There is also a For Sale board prominently displayed on the building. I don’t know if this is the restaurant or the building itself. It’s a real shame as the chef obviously knew what he was doing and both my husband’s and my meal, were absolutely superb. He really deserves to be better patronised. It most definitely warrants a five star rating.

Love the pies at the Wheatsheaf, had a Game one and it was lovely. The chips are almost like a crossover with Roasties and that can only be a good thing. Staff are welcoming and friendly and it is a lovely old place. Lovely pint of well kept Cask pale ale made for a perfect lunch.

Went for family meal for daughters birthday, lovely pub, food excellent and wonderful service. I had beef and potato pie, meat was cooked to perfection. My only complaint would be that the menu had less choice at the lower price range than shown on on website, but there was more choice of pricier specials. But it was worth the money and all 5 of us enjoyed the meal we had.

Had a fantastic first date here! The food was excellent and the service was wonderfully friendly. Everything was top-notch, except they weren't able to make me a Negroni. Otherwise, it would have been a solid 5 stars. Will definitely be back for the food and service!
