My wife and I had chosen a restaurant very carefully for celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary in Grasmere and Lewis’ Bistro certainly didn’t disappoint. Great service, a naturally created great atmosphere and stunning food. We came away from happy indeed

Lewis’s Bistro – GrasmereGreat place to eat, no complaints, We had a lovely meal, and will certainly visit again when in the area
Pheasant Inn – KeswickIt’s usually great in the Pheasant,been there several times,but last Sunday the 6th July was not a great dining experience.The food was poor quality,not up to the usual standard.The beef pie had very little meat in it,and was tasteless.The chips were rock hard and dry and had clearly been reheated . The service was non existent for at least 20 minutes despite the member of staff saying he would be “back in a minute” to take a drinks order. I will put it down to them being very busy,and leave it at that.
Pheasant Inn – KeswickI cannot get enough of this garlic bread and the huge cobb salad - such fresh produce and so tasty. Service is professional and efficient and we were regularly asked if everything was ok which it was. Love the option of different beers and although not GF it was actually really nice anyway and more like the hoppy lager I like. There was also the option 0% freixenet prosecco. It was so quiet which was surprising as it was the perfect night to sit out but guess everyone was having BBQs.
The Wheatsheaf at Beetham – MilnthorpeSuper food spot close to the station Met up with a friend & really enjoyed food. Staff friendly and helpful
La Mezzaluna – CarlisleJust returned from a wonderful 2-night stay at Wheatsheaf. Great staff; really kind and helpful. A big thanks to Lucy who helped us arrange this. A lovely waitress, Isla, deserves a compliment too. Meals great; really enjoyed the steak and cheddar pie. Breakfasts really enjoyable…..wonderful scrambled eggs! Good room; spacious bathroom. So glad we managed the Fairy Steps! We’ll pay another visit.
The Wheatsheaf at Beetham – MilnthorpeExcellent meal to be recommended.
Hope and Anchor – Grange-over-SandsA lovely local pub - great selection of beer , wine and other drinks. Tasty, well-presented food . Friendly staff . We had 3 great meals here - all good. Generous portions!
Pheasant Inn – KeswickThe owners went out of their way to accommodate 4 adults and 2 dogs with food and drinks and I’m glad they did the pub/restaurant had plenty of character and was fully booked the staff were very friendly and extremely helpful the menu was adequate and the food was plentiful with a good choice of ales very reasonably priced.
Pheasant Inn – KeswickLewis‘ Bistrot was recommeded to us but unfortunately didn’t live up to our expectations. Most reviews were very good., however … The veggie starter ordered wasn’t available (alternatives were suggested) and the veggie main wasn’t great either. And the prices are steep compared to other venues in the vicinity. After finishing our mains our plates weren’t cleared away and nobody asked if we’d like dessert or coffee. So we paid our bill and left. Not what could be considered excellent service. All in all a mediocre experience and a shame it didn’t match the other reviews.
Lewis’s Bistro – GrasmereExcellent food, warm and cosy atmosphere, very attentive staff, would definitely recommend.
Lewis’s Bistro – GrasmereThis was our third visit to the Horse and Farrier and we will be back next year! The food is always lovely and fresh. There is a beer garden to enjoy the sun. Staff are very efficient and friendly.
