Reviews in Cumbria and Lake District

We are frequent visitors to the Wheatsheaf. The welcome is always warm and the food delicious.

Customer service was 5*, even when the dessert came out and they didn’t have a specific ice cream our needs were still met and the food was exceptional. Definitely will return

Fantastic food and atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Visited Pig and Whistle with friends Sunday 8th September. Had Sunday Lunch which was delicious. Everything was good would definitely dine here again.

Lovely food, great service , will definitely be back.

Does what it says on the tin - don’t go expecting non bistro dishes. What they do, they do well. No complaints.

Absolutely delicious meal and wonderful staff . We had the surf and turf and it was to die for . All the flavours were just merged into a heavenly taste . We were staying at the Rothay Garden and the food was disappointing. We took a chance and booked here . So pleased we did ! Highly recommend for a delicious experience. We also had scallops , belly pork starters and the Bakewell at the end burp !!

Excellent menu and food was first class. Friendly service both at dinner and breakfast.

Fantastic meal and service. Couldn’t recommend more highly. So impressed immediately booked the following night and although full they managed to squeeze us in.

Absolutely beautiful fish sharing platter, gorgeous wood fired pizza. Excellent service. Would highly recommend. Lovely atmosphere. Will definitely be back.

We visited based on options provided by our guest house and with our sister in law and her friend who were doing the coast to coast walk. The food was nice but the service was the worst that we have experienced for a long time with the staff seemingly happy to chat to certain tables while ignoring a lot of others who were clearly waiting to order or ask for the bill. The food was ok when it arrived and tasted nice but were small portions compared with the two other establishments without providing any obvious benefit compared with others places that we visited in Grasmere but the poor service coloured our evening and so this was the only place visited where we declined to provide a tip. We will not return because of the service and and cannot recommend to others over the other options in Grasmere such as Tweedies and the Good Sport which were both excellent for food, service and value.

Found this restaurant online and reviews were excellent. Went for a meal on a Wednesday evening and the place was nearly full ,so i would book in advance. Staff were very attentive and the meal was superb , best we had whilst in the lake district and we had some good meals. Would totally recommend Grants if you are staying in the area , we will be back next time we are in Cumbria.

Excellent meal and cheerful service as always on our annual visit to this area. Our only regret is that the choice of pies has reduced to just 3 since lockdown. Would not miss going for a meal at least once while up.

Lovely food, excellent service, will be back.

My wife and I had dinner on the 12th September We both really enjoyed our meals . The service was excellent as was the food quality.

Cosy setting, great service & most important of all fantastic FOOD.

My husband and I had a delicious meal here on the 14th as usual the meal wine and service was outstanding always served with a smile my favourite place to eat so inexpensive and the bottle of red goes down a treat thanks to all the hard working kitchen staff you all do a fantastic job never once had to complain and your sweets are to die for
