Reviews in Cumbria and Lake District

First visit there in some time and was shocked at the difference. I should have realised when we were the only ones in on a Friday lunchtime that it was going to be disappointing. The food was a big let down and the pub was cold. The wine was the only bright spot. I shan’t bother making the trip again. Wish I’d read the reviews first.

We wanted a traditional pub meal rather than going to chain pub, we found the Greyhound on line. Easy to book, food was good value with good portions (couldn’t manage desert!) Really friendly staff who were happy to have a natter with us. Definitely recommend and we’ll be back.

Food was great, really quick service. Staff were all very friendly and efficient.

First time visit whilst on holiday. The staff were brilliant: a warm welcome when we arrived and good service throughout. A good short menu made it easy to select the sharing nacho plate to start and salmon and a steak ciabatta. All were cooked to perfection, beautifully presented and most importantly very tasty. When we are back in the Lakes, The Wheatsheaf will be a “go to” place to eat a value for money lunch.

The many times we have been here it never disappoints great food great service always a lovely atmosphere

Lovely meal, as always. Pleasant, attentive staff. Timely service. Have always been happy with our eating experiences here.

Food and service excellent

Fillet steak was excessively fat and gristly. The “new” potatoes with the fish were not only “skin on” but were riddled with eyes. These should never have been served. The so called pan fried scallops were no more than one scallop cut into three layers. The ambience was acceptable (although the table near the entrance door on a cool and windy Saturday evening was not the best despite having been booked weeks in advance) until the loudest party of 8 arrived making normal conversation impossible. Although not within the direct control of management it is still a wonder why a man needs to shout past 5 diners in his party to explain the dangers in swimming in parts of the Bahamas. Although our server prompted comment as to our dissatisfaction there was no response.

Great food and atmosphere. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I thought it excellent value for money.

We always visit The Pheasant for a meal when we are in Keswick. The staff are always very pleasant and the food is good. Yes, you sometimes have to wait a little while but meals are freshly prepared and worth waiting for.

Our third visit to Lewis Bistro and it did not disappoint. Starters all fabulous and the main courses were to die for. Staff are amazing and go out of their way to accommodate as had wheelchair user and large dog in our party. Perfect restaurant in centre of Grasmere!

Excellent food, nice atmosphere, would definitely go again. Think they could have done with an extra staff member but they were really friendly and helpful.

Lovely place staff friendly and welcoming. Food very good.

Excellent food and service again. Never fails to impress.

My wife and I enjoyed our food; fish pie and sausage and mash. Tasty, well presented and reasonably priced for Keswick. However, service was quite slow, 30 minutes from taking order and all covers were not taken.

This is the second time we have dined at La Mezzaluna and we will definitely be back. Food, staff and service are fantastic.

We were warmly greeted and promptly served. The atmosphere was good:the only thing we didn’t like was the presence of dogs, although they were well behaved. Beware the size of the portions! We had looked forward to the delicious-sounding desserts, but couldn’t manage to eat anything else.
