Was in the restaurant recently. Had a lovely meal and with wonderful service. First class on both counts. However a group booking of around 10 guys made it very difficult to hear each other talk around our table. Volume got louder with time and took the shine off the visit. Understand why the restaurant would take group bookings but the noise was starting to become imposing. Would certainly return if I was ever in Carlisle again.
La Mezzaluna – CarlisleUnreliable .., website advertise food service from 12.00-20.00. Arrived at 19.38 and was told kitchen closed. Very poor won’t be back.
The Coach & Horses – CarlisleI dined here for 3 nights in a row and found it to be an absolute, culinary delight. I would highly recommend it to anyone. The food was outstanding in every aspect, the staff were extremely friendly and attentive and the atmosphere and ambience was so relaxing. I will definitely want to visit again when in Keswick.
Pheasant Inn – Keswick5 star!
Sage and Vine – CarlisleReally impressed - we had a lovely meal, food was excellent as was the service. The menu is fairly small but extremely well done. The restaurant is small and was fully booked but it still had a nice atmosphere and didn't feel too full or loud. I would love to go back - highly recommend.
Lewis’s Bistro – GrasmereWe've been going to the Pheasant Inn everytime we come to the Lake District - food, drinks and friendly staff are second to none - thoroughly recommended. :-)
Pheasant Inn – KeswickOutstanding food and service, a real gem
Grants Of Castlegate – PenrithNot or first fantastic meal here and it won't be out last. Superb food, great service, great atmosphere and all on all just a lovely evening meal.
Pheasant Inn – KeswickA fantastic meal - the food was outstanding and was complimented by fine service and nice drinks - wonderful. And we could book a table for the time we wanted. Our meal out was a great experience and we would highly recommend the pheasant Inn

Pheasant Inn – KeswickExcellent evening meal whilst staying at a local B&B. Welcoming and helpful staff, cosy traditional village inn.
Queens Head Inn Tirril – PenrithHope and Anchor has changed hands since we last visited from Scotland and I wouldn't recommend to anyone anywhere near this place . The owner is extremely unhelpful and this was reiterated by the people we spoke to in the area . Having tried 3 days in a row to get a booking and continually told there was nothing available we decided to book online and to our surprise there was plenty of availability online . Against our better judgement with a family of 5 and 3 kids decided to give it a go as we had promised to take our children out for a meal , wish we never bothered, sat in an area right at the bar and the service was shockingly bad from the manager , the other staff members where fine but the managers service was shocking, we waited an hour yes an hour for our starter then we must have been at least half an hour after the starter to get our main course , food was mediocre at best and very bland , portion size poor but we could've accepted that if it wasn't for the shocking service . Considering we tried continually 3 days in a row to get a table we would have expected better service than this , the manager wasn't interested seemed more about himself than the customers definitely won't be back next time we are in the area
Hope and Anchor – Grange-over-SandsGem of a place. We came for dinner. Great service. Great atmosphere. Dog friendly. And the best home made pie ever. We'll be back.
The Wheatsheaf at Beetham – MilnthorpeReally lovely meal, good service and lovely atmosphere. Really dog friendly too - he had his own menu. Would definitely eat there again.
The Wheatsheaf at Beetham – MilnthorpeNice meal and good atmosphere. However we got there 15 mins early to have a drink at the bar... was told that our tabel was ready.. I said I like to have a drink at the bar first if possible. Was told by the lady it's easier to take drinks straight to the table.. she was a bit off to be honest... then proceeded to ask my 21 year old son for ID. Which is fine.. I get the risk around their drink liscense.. So we were sat at the table with our mood a bit dampened. The staff from there on in were very good.. just a shame about the start.... first impressions count and she was quite abrupt and stressy...
Pheasant Inn – KeswickThought we would give a try after seeing new menu on Facebook and we were not disappointed.The best menu I’ve seen around for ages.Everything we had was lovely and we were well looked after by I presume the manageress. Will definitely recommend and be back.
The Wheatsheaf Inn – KendalA lovely atmosphere with amazing food and wine. The lamb and cheesecake were heavenly!!!! The staff were helpful, courteous and friendly. This was definitely a highlight of our holiday and we would recommend everyone to dine with them.
