Reviews in Cumbria and Lake District

This is a super restaurant in Grasmere serving great food Nothing seems too much trouble to ensure complete satisfaction. Fabulous

Food was great, but we were let down. We took our young children at 4pm after school and the music was highly inappropriate, with the word “bitch” and “fuck” being shouted over and over again, in one song.

I genuinely can not have a Pizza anywhere else, great quality, worth every penny, service always fantastic, very good selection of drink, look forward to my next visit.

Great food, relaxed atmosphere and friendly competent service. Thank you.

Celebrating my partners birthday at the pheasant was a wise decision. Excellent food friendly staff couldn’t do enough and even paisley our mastiff was welcomed. Highly recommended place to dine and drink

The food was delicious and the service was second to none! Fantastic!

Ate at the Sage and Vine with my friend on Saturday 7th February and once again, thoroughly enjoyed the experience. We had three small.plates each, a large glass of wine each and a caramel latte each. Came to just short of £50 each. It's not cheap here but it is the lovely food, atmosphere and service you are paying for. I had skin-on plaice fillets, hummus with flat bread and ham pieces. The amount was small (as small.platesuggests) but the sum was filling. My friend had beef and mash (this is a hearty serving and one of the larger small portions), ham pieces and three smoky cheese croquettes. She couldn't finish the croquettes. So if you fancy that combo, it is one of the more filling ones. The place was empty when we entered at 1200, but soon filled up with its typical clientele; small or large groups of women average age from mid 40s upwards and the occasional couple group. Get dressed up, stay casual, you can do both here. Do book ahead though. It's busy every day and particularly on a Saturday. We saw people coming in on-spec having to be turned away.

Good food, good service, nice atmosphere!

As with previous visits, we thoroughly enjoyed our meal at Sage and vine. There is a good choice of food. A lot of the dishes offer unusual and well thought out ingredients that not only well presented but taste lovely. The atmosphere is good and the place is very clean. The staff are always very friendly and helpful.

Another excellent meal at Sage and vine! The welcoming, attentive and friendly staff standout above others in the area.

Fabulous food, service and atmosphere!
