Reviews in Cumbria and Lake District

We have eaten at this Horse and Farrier several times over the last few years - this was a wedding anniversary evening out for us. The meal was quite excellent so we were both very happy. The parfait starter was delicious - my wife's Stone Bass was beautifully cooked, and my Duck from the specials board was - well, special. Two different deserts, equally enjoyable. Very well presented and served, so our congratulations and thanks to the chef and his helpers, and the front of house folk. Well done to you all.

We thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Sage and Vine. The food was excellent and the staff were friendly and helpful with explaining the sizes of tapas dishes. We will be back!

What a great restaurant with lovely attentive staff and fabulous food, thoroughly enjoyed the evening. Highly recommend.

Always a lovely meal in a friendly and relaxing restaurant.

We have been coming to the Horse and Farrier for a good few yers now and loved all of our meals here, but last nights was a cut above anything we've had here before, Compliments to the chef and his team and see you real soon again.

First time we have tried this restaurant and wasn't disappointed food was beautiful and very friendly service

What can I say? A most wonderful birthday celebration for my husband with outstanding food and hospitality. Cannot recommend this place enough. Excellent 10/10.

A lovely evening ,classy food, great service, thanks to all concerned!!

This is the second time I've been with my wife and the food again was excellent, plenty of variety to pick and the 6 "small plates" were quality

Amazing service and lovely atmosphere. Food is always delicious! Thank you for having us!

We’ve been regularly over the past 5 years and it just gets better! The food is amazing, a cut above usual pub fare, the menu is imaginative, all sourced locally and most importantly delicious! The staff are super friendly and welcoming and provide first class service. And if that’s not enough they serve superb real ales all in a proper Lakeland pub!!!

Fantastic meal from start to finish, the food was obviously scratch cooked and made on the premises and was delicious. The restaurant was full and had a great atmosphere. None the less the staff were quick off the mark and drinks were on the table in a blink. It's a family restaurant in every sense of the word from the cooking to the staff as well as its clientele.

A fabulous find in Grasmere and well worth a visit. A great menu with lots of choice and all perfectly cooked. Recommend the sea bass! Warm atmosphere with excellent friendly service. The team were super busy on our visit but it didn’t affect the level of service in the slightest with Lewis and his mum still making time to chat. We will absolutely return when we next visit the Lakes.

Really good food - superior pub grub. Great service in lovely traditional pub atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Fantastic food. Varied menu and a good beer and wine selection. The mains and desserts were both high quality. Pork belly was excellent.

Great food, great service & a great venue. Filet steak cooked to perfection. 100% recommended, one of the best restaurants in lakeland.

We visit the Pheasant whenever we are on holiday in Keswick, about three times a year. The quality of food is always exceptional and the service is second to none. Let them know in advance if you are taking a dog, and the staff go out of their way to be helpful. Can’t speak highly enough of the place. If it’s beer you’re after with your meal, there’s always a top selection. Nothing plastic about the Pheasant, it’s a rustic delight.

Booked here for a meal on our last night in Keswick, no regrets. Despite being a little cramped in the bar area due to having our pup with us, we can not fault this place at all. We enjoyed 3 courses, and each meal was absolutely stunning. The beef pie was just incredible. We will definitely be returning here on our next trip to Keswick!
