What a superb place. Great food and service, a very interesting historical building. The bar staff were excellent and engaged with us. The pottery and workshop were a very valuable addition. Would thoroughly recommend.
Farmers Arms – UlverstonOur meal at Grants of Castlegate was a special end to a memorable day. I had proposed to my girlfriend - now fiancé, phew - earlier in the day. I had emailed Grants the night before and asked that they mark the engagement in some way. When they brought the desserts out, “Congratulations!” was written in sauce on each plate. It was a lovely touch that went down very very well with my fiancé, so a massive thank you to the team. Better than that was the food though, it was beautiful.
Grants Of Castlegate – PenrithA delicious Sunday Lunch, despite having to wait over 45 minutes for our food. To be fair, one of the team did come to see us after half an hour to explain the problem in the kitchen.
Pheasant Inn – KeswickWhen we stay in Keswick we always like to eat at least once at the Pheasant. This time we enjoyed Sunday lunch yesterday. As usual, the meal didn’t disappoint. The portions were hearty, tasty and the service was spot on. Thank you and here’s to the next time!
Pheasant Inn – KeswickMy partner and I had travelled to Grasmere to celebrate his 40th birthday, and chose to eat on the Saturday night of our stay at Lewis’ Bistro. We really couldn’t have chosen a better place! The staff were excellent and attentive, even treating my partner and I to a glass of champagne, as part of his birthday celebrations. The starters and main meals were delicious; all substantial portions, so much so that we didn’t have any room for dessert. Would recommend to anyone visiting Grasmere and will certainly return in future. Thank you to all staff for your hospitality.
Lewis’s Bistro – GrasmereReturn visit as staff are very friendly and helpful and the food was amazing and plentiful

La Mezzaluna – CarlisleHave been several times over the years for evening meals, always a bit quirky and disorganised but overlooked by great food, including local vegetables and an interesting menu. Always hoped they would get their act together with not running out of menu options etc. However this last time was a massive disappointment. The wine and beer were poor quality virtually undrinkable . The menu was very limited and 4 dishes had run out giving us very little choice. There were no locally grown vegetables with the meals only green beans which had to be ordered as a side. The food was uninspiring and the whole evening turned out to be an expensive mistake. It needs to be more organised, improved quality of wine available, improve the menu needs to be more original with more variety and to not run out of dishes.
Farmers Arms – UlverstonHonestly one of the best meals we have had in the last few years. Food and service were amazing and definitely a 10/10 experience.
Lewis’s Bistro – GrasmereFood was amazing and the service was fantastic.

Grants Of Castlegate – PenrithTremendous meal with friendly service in a relaxing environment. A real great evening out.
Grants Of Castlegate – PenrithRelaxed atmosphere. Food was great. Menu is limited but what we ate was absolutely delicious Staff seemed overly busy so struggled to check in for our reservation. The girl serving at the bar was border line disinterested. Think you either need more staff or more training so greeting is warmer.
