Reviews in Cumbria and Lake District

Lovely food, good value and lovely staff

Fantastic food , good atmosphere . Always come here when in Grasmere.

My husband and I made a last minute booking here and we were not disappointed. It was very busy bit all the staff were attentive and everything was going smoothly. My husband had the Lamb Henry and I had the Venison Bourginion. The portions were hearty to say the least, no one could grumble at value for money. It was also delicious. We were gluttons and had pudding. My husband went for the cheesecake while I tackled the cheeseboard which would have easily served two. I would definitely go here again if in the lake district.

Very friendly staff, who couldn't do enough. The food was excellent, all piping hot, well presented and very tasty. My wife and her mum had Scampi and I had the sausage swirl, which was chosen as I am a coeliac and on a gluten free diet. We were all asked if we had any dietary needs prior to ordering. We had deserts which were delicious. All in all a great meal to celebrate my wife's birthday.

Fabulous meal, great service and a lovely vibe. Will definitely go again next time we're in Carlisle

5 star

We've been returning to this lovely restaurant for a few years now. It never fails to impress.. From Heather delivering the friendly informed service, to the excellent food... The menu is not very large, but it is a small venue, BUT.. We have never been disappointed with the quality of everything.. Would definitely recommend to anyone to visit..

We had early evening meal on 12/04, team members were efficient and friendly, as a party of two we shared baked Camembert as a starter, it’s a favourite of mine and didn’t disappoint, I had sea bass and husband had steak pie we can recommend both and hope to be back soon.

First time here. Lovely friendly waitress. Meal was amazing, really good variety on menu. Will definitely return and recommend to everyone.

6 of us went for Sunday lunch.3 had lamb and 2 beef and we all thought our meals were excellent. Thw other person had fish and chips which rated the best she had ever had. Although we were all full, we could not resist the desert menu. 5 of us had the .mascapone and rubharb with cinder toffee, flapjack and ice crea., absolutely delicious and the other one had the pofiterole, again superb. This pub is highly recommended

Excellent food and service. Highly recommend. Will definitely visit again, need to sample more of the menu, as found it very difficult to make a decision on what to have!!!

Excellent place for an early Saturday evening bite with the kids. Scrumptious pizzas that feed the largest teenage appetites and excellent value for money . Highly recommended.

We loved our food , staff were very good and service was quick and also very good .Will definitely be back

Had another excellent meal at Grants of Castlegate on Friday. Lovely food, drinks and wine. Friendly and helpful service.

Excellent again as usual, steak cooked rare and perfect, atmosphere great, staff are so friendly and a credit to the business.

Friendly and helpful staff, and good traditional pub food.

A friend recommended visiting and am so glad we visited. Lovely old pub building with cosy bar and dining area with gorgeous views. Good rang of menu options (incl gluten free options) - classics plus seasonal (I had wild garlic pea soup starter - super tasty!) Staff were really friendly as well as efficient and thoughful.

The leg of lamb was really great and tender. Also the stuff and the chef were so nice. They still cooked for me even though I arrived after the last order. I just finished a trail running race near Keswick on a really tough, windy and cold day and badly needed a warm delicious meal and they were there to offer me the dinner
