Was a shame the Venison Burbrigon was unavailable as that was something I had seen on the online menu and was looking forward to. However,what we eventually had was excellent as was the service. This is an excellent pub and is thoroughly recommended.
Pheasant Inn – KeswickThis pub is a hidden gem in a truly beautiful part of the Lake District. The food, beer, welcome and service are all perfect. A friendly and comfortable pub, welcoming locals and people further afield, like us, the Farmers Arms deserves to be well known. Go on a Thursday night for brilliant pizzas and amazing home made cakes!
Farmers Arms – UlverstonThe team were so accommodating when half our party of 18 were stuck in the A590 traffic. Food was great, thank you!
Kings Arms – UlverstonFast becoming our go too place in Town ! Amazing little place ! Atmosphere is so vibrant , great service and attentiveness and the menu and dishes particularly the seafood platter are superb !
Sage and Vine – CarlisleHad a lovely meal in a great setting. The only thing was that a biscuit provided with the sweet had a small hair stuck in it. The waitress couldn't have been more apologetic and the restaurant didn't charge for the sweet However we will certainly visit again.
The Wheatsheaf at Beetham – MilnthorpeWas in the restaurant recently. Had a lovely meal and with wonderful service. First class on both counts. However a group booking of around 10 guys made it very difficult to hear each other talk around our table. Volume got louder with time and took the shine off the visit. Understand why the restaurant would take group bookings but the noise was starting to become imposing. Would certainly return if I was ever in Carlisle again.
La Mezzaluna – CarlisleUnreliable .., website advertise food service from 12.00-20.00. Arrived at 19.38 and was told kitchen closed. Very poor won’t be back.
The Coach & Horses – CarlisleI dined here for 3 nights in a row and found it to be an absolute, culinary delight. I would highly recommend it to anyone. The food was outstanding in every aspect, the staff were extremely friendly and attentive and the atmosphere and ambience was so relaxing. I will definitely want to visit again when in Keswick.
Pheasant Inn – Keswick5 star!
Sage and Vine – CarlisleReally impressed - we had a lovely meal, food was excellent as was the service. The menu is fairly small but extremely well done. The restaurant is small and was fully booked but it still had a nice atmosphere and didn't feel too full or loud. I would love to go back - highly recommend.
Lewis’s Bistro – GrasmereWe've been going to the Pheasant Inn everytime we come to the Lake District - food, drinks and friendly staff are second to none - thoroughly recommended. :-)
Pheasant Inn – KeswickOutstanding food and service, a real gem
Grants Of Castlegate – PenrithNot or first fantastic meal here and it won't be out last. Superb food, great service, great atmosphere and all on all just a lovely evening meal.
Pheasant Inn – KeswickA fantastic meal - the food was outstanding and was complimented by fine service and nice drinks - wonderful. And we could book a table for the time we wanted. Our meal out was a great experience and we would highly recommend the pheasant Inn

Pheasant Inn – KeswickExcellent evening meal whilst staying at a local B&B. Welcoming and helpful staff, cosy traditional village inn.
Queens Head Inn Tirril – PenrithHope and Anchor has changed hands since we last visited from Scotland and I wouldn't recommend to anyone anywhere near this place . The owner is extremely unhelpful and this was reiterated by the people we spoke to in the area . Having tried 3 days in a row to get a booking and continually told there was nothing available we decided to book online and to our surprise there was plenty of availability online . Against our better judgement with a family of 5 and 3 kids decided to give it a go as we had promised to take our children out for a meal , wish we never bothered, sat in an area right at the bar and the service was shockingly bad from the manager , the other staff members where fine but the managers service was shocking, we waited an hour yes an hour for our starter then we must have been at least half an hour after the starter to get our main course , food was mediocre at best and very bland , portion size poor but we could've accepted that if it wasn't for the shocking service . Considering we tried continually 3 days in a row to get a table we would have expected better service than this , the manager wasn't interested seemed more about himself than the customers definitely won't be back next time we are in the area
Hope and Anchor – Grange-over-SandsGem of a place. We came for dinner. Great service. Great atmosphere. Dog friendly. And the best home made pie ever. We'll be back.
