Reviews in Cumbria and Lake District

Both the food and the service was fantastic .

Excellent meal well cooked also well presented, very pleasant and friendly staff so nice we have booked another meal with them. Disappointed and surprised to see that they allowed dogs into the restaurant,

I've wanted to try this place for a while as I've heard good things about it, and I wasn't disappointed. The service was good, the food was great, I couldn't fault anything about the experience, best meal I've had in a long time, I'll definitely be back, and spreading the word. Well worth a visit.

We always visit the Pheasant Inn when staying in Keswick. The food is good and the atmosphere very pleasant. Its popularity does mean it is always busy but the staff are hard-working and attentive and we have always enjoyed our visits.

Very nice food, very good for those of us following a gluten free diet. Portions very big, service good. This is a very busy pub and can be a bit tight getting past chairs etc but well worth a visit.

We ate at the Queesns Head 4 times in our 'walking week'. Started with Sunday lunch with some friends which was lovely, then we had 2 full meals finishing off with some small bites on our last day. The staff were amazing, the food was also fantastic; best find - Cumbrian way ale!!!!! Thank you to everyone who we met and the ones behind the scenes working so hard!!

Excellent food, decent sized portions not over facing. Staff were very attentive.

We had a really lovely meal on our first visit to Carlisle. Starters and mains were tasty, generous and very good value. Would have had a desert if I could have fitted one in. Friendly, prompt service. Thank you.

Absolutely the best steak dinner I've had from arriving into the UK from Australia. Staff were amazing, the Italian Red was superb, we'll be back, our new favourite.

On our annual visit to the Lake District decided we must enjoy Lewis’s menu again even though we were staying over 45 minutes drive away. It did not disappoint. The food was excellent and the service friendly and efficient. You know the standards have been maintained when the restaurant is full and there is a steady turnover of tables throughout the evening and people being turned away who haven’t booked. There is a good selection of starters an£ main courses and the portions are not small. Great care is given to the food presentation and it arrives all hot. Cannot praise them highly enough and would recommend them to anyone staying in Grasmere and the surrounding area. Well worth the visit.

As ever the food (a cassoulet) was delicious. The Farmers Arms is unquestionably the best pub for a meal in the South Lakes.

Visit the pheasant inn every year we go to Keswick . Always enjoy the food and atmosphere. Pently of local beers to choose from.

Excellent good food great quality nice atmosphere very friendly staff 100% recommend. Will definitely revisit if in the area

One of best meals we have had in the Lake District. Definitely recommend the pie. Friendly staff, nice atmosphere. Will visit again.

We had an excellent meal there yesterday. The portion size was just right and it was excellent value for money. I would have no hesitation in making another booking.

Food was delicious as usual. Service very friendly and timeous. Puddings are gorgeous and enormous.

We were lucky enough to be on holiday in Lake District on the same week as the monthly evening supper. The menu choice was superb and the actual food was delicious. Staff here are friendly and efficient and other than being drenched with rain as we walked from car to door, the evening was unbeatable, both in flavour and value

We were booked in at 2 .30 for Sunday lunch which we were really looking forward to. The place was really busy but we were directed to our table after getting drinks at the bar. The order for our roast dinner was taken within about 15 mins, along with the table of 4 at the side of us . They received their roast beef and we sat there and sat there! Eventually I asked a young waitress if she would check as we had waited 30 mins already and the other table had finished their main course ! After another 5 minutes our roast beef dinner arrived. We almost walked out but the food was delicious and a big plateful with lots of vegetables. I’m sure our order couldn’t have been put in!
