Reviews in Cumbria and Lake District

As usual, great food, great beer, and great atmosphere.

We went on a Friday lunchtime. The tables were full but it was not crowded. The pub was warm and welcoming. We have a large puppy, a German Shepherd. She was made very welcome and we didn't feel that she was in the way. We had an excellent lunch, two of us had Cullen Skink, which could possibly have had a little more of the smoked haddock in it to give a stronger flavour, but was very enjoyable. My husband had the steak pie which he said was excellent. We were too full to have a pudding! Will definitely return.

Booked a meal for wife and I on Wednesday 29 th Jan. to celebrate my birthday. Booked online which was very easy. Table was booked for 6.30pm.we arrived and were quickly shown to our table, wine ordered, and the evening was seamless, attentive staff. Great food and wine, nice ambience, a lovely evening was had. Thank you so much, we will definitely be back.

A fabulous atmosphere and lovely attentive staff. Recommend the lamb Henry and the duck, excellent food.

Lovely food and welcoming staff and great service

Delicious Sunday lunch and excellent service. We enjoyed everything about our visit on Sunday and we are looking forward to returning very soon. Many thanks.

Thought we'd try the Roast Dinner and very glad we did. Everything was beautifully done and tasted great. Crispy potatoes, huge Yorkshire pudding, well seasoned veg. The nut roast was also very tasty, not dry like some. We will definitely be back!

Outstanding food, quality very good and cook d perfectly. Lovely friendly staff.

Excellent quality food - well presented and all freshly made on the premises. Friendly and attentive front of house staff., with everyone enjoying their meal. Fairly priced; reflecting the quality of food presented.

Best place in carlisle , great staff great service and amazing food.

Absolutely perfect, food amazing, staff lovely, nothing to fault.

We went for lunch on Saturday 25.1.25. Pre booked. Busy on the day. We both ordered from the specials menu. We had the haggis neaps and tatties. It came with a large jug of gravy. The food took a while to come due to the volume of people , but it was worth the wait. We tried one of the guest ales, tiffin gold. Worth trying if you like ales. It was refreshing and went well with the food. For dessert we had the amble crumble with ice cream and the chocolate salted caramel tart with ice cream. Both desserts were lovely and we would have them again. Friendly staff. Good atmosphere. Would go back.

We went for our second meal enjoyed the whole dinning experience .The service was amazing no rushing us .friendly staff and food was amazing .Tapas dishes were so tasty pizzas were home made and excellent .An overall a memorable birthday meal .Would highly recomend

Lovely meal, lovely atmosphere. Dogs were made very welcome.

Absolutely amazing here. Would recommend for a date night, family meals, friend’s evening meal, small dinner or just a few drinks. Amazing staff, could not of asked for better!

The quality of the food is always excellent at the Pheasant and yesterday wasn’t any exception. The chicken bacon and leek pie is an excellent choice as was the the chicken stew I had off the specials board. It is a very cosy, traditional bar with a great focus on quality food.

Another lovely, cosy meal at the Queen's Head Tirril. Friendly staff and a good village feel.
