Food quality and taste was incredible, and service was very attentive. While overall value was good, the sea bass portion size was too small - ravioli was the lead ingredient, with sea bass being a minor component.
Grants Of Castlegate – PenrithLovely second visit to Grants and once again we were not disappointed. The food was lovely, the service - couldn’t have been better and the atmosphere just perfect for a couples meal. Excellent value for money too. Will be back soon.
Grants Of Castlegate – PenrithWe dined on the first sitting so eat before 2pm on a Thursday. Pub was very quiet which was nice. Two starters baked Brie and the Thai fish cake both lovely. Mains we had the beef curry and chicken and leek pie. Again really nice, the amount of food is great they don’t skimp on the meat portion's. We always book each time we visit Keswick
Pheasant Inn – KeswickLovely pub with good food. Only had starters and mains. Fish and chips is very large. Would certainly visit again
Hope and Anchor – Grange-over-SandsGood choice of food and enjoyed the meal. Beer was good. Staff were very friendly and attentive.
The Wheatsheaf at Beetham – MilnthorpeBooked online for Sunday Lunch and were extremely impressed with the food. Home cooked food with roasted vegans all the trimmings. We brought our dog as we were visiting the Lakes and they were happy for him to sit with us x The menu was great and staff were warm and friendly too.
Queens Head Inn Tirril – PenrithThe food was brilliant and the local ale was also brilliant. Service were excellent and friendly. Highly recommend going to the Badger Bar.
Glen Rothay Hotel and Badger Bar – RydalWe had a very nice meal on 12th July 2024 for 6 people, the food was good and some different dishes on the menu to the normal fare in Lakeland restaurants, which is always good. The staff were all very helpful and quick on a busy evening. Well done!
Lewis’s Bistro – GrasmereHave been to the Glen Rothay many times and keep going back. Great atmosphere and the food is excellent.
Glen Rothay Hotel and Badger Bar – RydalReally happy with the service recieved from booking a large party in to actually getting the food out all on time. We had to pre book as we were such a large party of +20 people, but it made it really easy when it came to everyone getting fed promptly and at the same time. The upstairs area was a lovely atmosphere with its own bar, which was really nice.
La Mezzaluna – CarlisleLovely.!! Welcome Food Atmosphere Service Beer Enough said!
Pheasant Inn – KeswickGreat little country pub. Great food, great service what more could you want !!!!
The Wheatsheaf Inn – KendalExcellent food and service we will definitely be returning customers
The Wheatsheaf at Beetham – MilnthorpeThe gentleman who served us was very pleasant but out of his depth. The waitress never smiled.. An essential if you are working in the restaurant business.. If you are serving 7 people with food surely at least two people could carry out plates at the same time to stop the first dishes arriving beginning to get cold. Gravy with Cumberland fairly ordinary. Much tastier at other pubs I have been to.
The Wheatsheaf Inn – KendalStill got it.
La Mezzaluna – CarlisleWe holiday in Keswick every year and always make the Pheasant Inn the place for our meal on the final night, knowing that we won't be disappointed. The food is always high quality and reasonably priced and the service is good. We had steak pie and Scottish salmon, which were excellent quality. The food was served timely, and the table service was attentive - in some bars/restaurants you can struggle to get attention, but at the Pheasant Inn the attentive staff made sure our glasses were never empty! The online booking system is an added bonus. I would suggest booking in advance to avoid disappointment as the Pheasant Inn is very popular.
Pheasant Inn – KeswickLovely meal with friends, food was delicious and great value
