The Manor Inn – St BeesAlways a great meal here. The menu offers a variety of options and every course is delicious. Staff are friendly, attentive and make you feel welcome. I can't wait for our next visit.
Lewis’s Bistro – GrasmereHad a fabulous meal again at La Mezzaluna, great food and a great vibe. Staff are lovely. Will always recommend this Italian
La Mezzaluna – CarlisleFriendly clean pub in a great location. Good menu, not many specials available this visit. Good selection of beverages, very dog friendly.
Pheasant Inn – KeswickAlways so lovely in here, the food is delicious with plenty of choice, and the specials are fantastic. Excellent service and really lovely staff
Sage and Vine – CarlisleNobody acknowledged us on arrival and when they eventually did we were made to feel uncomfortable as we had arrived early. (We had called earlier to confirm it was ok to arrive early and were told that was fine as long as we sat outside - it was a hot evening so this was fine with us) We then asked if it would be ok to just have a drink while we wait for our table and were told they were busy with drinks too so no. At this point we were feeling very unwelcome. The food was sub standard and one meal was removed from the bill but in short we would never go back to this place.
Lewis’s Bistro – GrasmereGreat food great staff can’t beat it
Pheasant Inn – KeswickWe had dinner at Lewis's Bistro and had delicious food. A generous, well cooked piece of seabass was accompanied by excellent fresh and really tasty vegetables. A fantastic little restaurant with lovely friendly staff.
Lewis’s Bistro – GrasmereThe meal at The Pheasant Keswick was the best meal out we’ve had in years. The serving ce was wonderful, friendly, best part of the meal. The food was excellent, I had two pints of real ale, Cumberland and a Theakstons OP. We ate early at 5:30pm and easily finished in our 2hour window. Deserts were great, the white chocolate cheesecake excellent, I need to go back to try the other dishes.
Pheasant Inn – KeswickDrove nearly 200 miles to revist this restaurant, and it didn't dissapoint. The atmosphere was lovely, and the food was exceptional. Highly recommend a visit to anyone.
Grants Of Castlegate – PenrithAmazing food with lovely service, one of the best dinner we’ve had in Keswick, including vegetarian options. Fresh produce, great flavours and friendly staff, good portion size, nothing to fault really. Thank you for a great meal!
Pheasant Inn – KeswickPleasantly surprised at the overall experience on a Saturday evening having booked earlier that day. Scallops nicely cooked. Delighted with the Chardonnay we drank. Fillet steak was quality and cooked as desired. Chicken supreme also good. Sticky toffee pudding to share and espresso martini both up to standard. Would book again.
Lewis’s Bistro – GrasmereWhat a fantastic night. Food & service was excellent
Sage and Vine – CarlisleVery disappointed in the nearly hour wait for our meal. Even more disappointed when paying my bill, and asked how it was. I kept it polite and said “ok”. But was pressed by the lady over and over to expand and when I did, she didn’t like my answer and as good as tried to turn it on ourselves. Never experienced customer service like it. I have booked for another meal for next Friday 24 Jul 26 at this bistro but obviously can you cancel this now please. Thankyou.
