Reviews in Cumbria and Lake District

We had lovely pub grub on Friday evening. Staff were very accommodating and friendly. Good value and we will be back

Food (sharing grilled platter and fish and chips), was lovely and reasonably priced. We particularly loved the cheese balls as starter! Sadly it was a very cold day and the dinning room was very cold, we had to keep our coats on throughout. Maybe we will come back in spring when it is a bit warmer!

We were in for a surprise birthday celebration meal last night and we were extremely happy with the whole service. The food was gorgeous and the service was excellent. Thank you to all the staff for making the meal so enjoyable. We will definitely be back again! ❤️

Best place in Carlisle! Excellent service and great food.

What a gem of a place. We decided on going to the Pheasant as we hadn’t been since before covid and are now wishing we had gone sooner. We had a very warm welcome on entering, there was a good choice of ales and wine. The menu is different from your usual pub grub and the quality of the food was more restaurant standard than pub food. We had the venison and lamb which were cooked to perfection, the meat was melt in the mouth. The veg were served separately and were so fresh, not your usual warmed up microwave veg that you get in most pubs. The deserts were delicious we had a lemon posset and apple crumble, both were delicious, the crumble came with a good serving of custard, my husband usually moans about the lack of custard, but not this time!! All the staff were wonderful, very attentive and they really made us feel that our custom was important to them. It’s our number one place to go now and only wish we had visited sooner

a must visit when in Carlisle The staff are always attentive & cater for all requests, the food is always delious & good value for money

Amazing food, great cocktails. Unfortunately when me and my partner were here there was an extremely loud, drunk, family beside us shouting and swearing infront of really young children. It was only peaceful once they had left. And that was not long after we were leaving.

Met friends for a meal and the food and service were excellent and well priced. Would def recommend and will be back.

It’s my 3rd time going yesterday and I’ll say the mince wasn’t as good as last weeks but but the mash is still super awesome. & bread & butter pudding is brilliant. Please keep it on your menu.

Dropped in for light lunch and really enjoyed the experience. Staff welcoming friendly and helpful. Great choice of food which was excellent. Lovely historical village we had views towards the church. Will definitely call in again as roast dinners looked fab. Highly recommend this place a little gem.

We ate for the first time on Saturday 1st February while visiting Grasmere for a long weekend. We had a wonderful meal, the atmosphere was lovely, the staff were very friendly and attentive. I would recommend you book a table and I would most definitely recommend it to my family and friends. When we visit the Lake District again we will definitely be returning. Thank you to all of the staff for your hospitality you gave us a wonderful evening.

The food was excellent. The roast was amazing. And I really enjoyed the atmosphere. Very cozy, very welcoming
