Reviews in Cumbria and Lake District

We felt well looked after from the minute we booked. We were sent a timely reminder; we were served drinks and nibbles outside at our request on a nice summer evening while our main course was being prepared; and all our needs were met. In keeping with such friendly and professional service, the food was divine. We felt it was on a different level from most restaurants where we have eaten. The menu is imaginative, the portions good and the quality exceptional. We are only sorry we don't live in the area as we would become frequent patrons. Thank you for a lovely evening.

Enjoyed Sunday lunch and breakfast at The Wheatsheaf. Staff extremely helpful and unobtrusive. Food was delicious. Stayed for one night here and would highly recommend, the room was extremely clean and comfortable, thought of everything, including earplugs should you be a light sleeper, as church bells chime throughout night. Highly recommend for either eating or staying at this establishment. Will be back.

Had a lovely relaxing meal meal last week (w/e 27 July 24). We both had the prawns to start with, followed by the fillet steak, which was cooked to perfection. The services was efficient and friendly.

Food nice, service efficient. Moderate prices, scallop dish small portion for cost of £13.00 but overall food was good. Nice wine menu too.

Excellent food and service my partner commented the Gamberoni al pomodoro was the best she had ever had

Always amazing food with a warm welcome and excellent service , highly recommend

Another great meal at the Pheasant Inn. The Lakeland beef pie is second to none, and the sweet menu finishes the meal off wonderfully.

Lovely food as always. Very friendly girls. Definitely the place to go in Carlisle for an authentic Italian meal at reasonable prices.

The food at the Glen Rothay Badger Bar is absolutely amazing. HUGE portions, fantastic choice. Have the Chicken Supreme if you can!

We were in the Lakes for our anniversary, and chose the restaurant based on existing reviews. It truly lived up to its reputation. The food was lovely, a nice range of choices and the deserts were also unusual and tasty, not too sweet on top of the other great courses. We were pleased to see, as we were leaving, how busy it was, but we hardly noticed it fill up. Staff were attentive without being intrusive. We had a lovely evening, thank you.

Nice atmosphere and great service. The food was truly excellent and great value. We shall be back.

Lovely meal. Chilli chicken and rice. Well presented

Thoroughly Enjoyed. Ate here as a couple in July 2024. The food, service and drinks were all amazing. My husband asked for the Thai curry with added chicken and they were happy to oblige. He said it was the best he’d ever eaten. Wine freezing, lots of gins to choose from. Lovely corner table. Highly recommended.

Excellent service with friendly communication from all staff.. Meals served fresh and hot in relaxed comfort. Good value.

We had an excellent meal here on Saturday. Both the lamb rack and pork belly were superb, as were the desserts. Atmosphere was pleasant and service was good. Recommended.

Another fab meal. A lovely warm welcome on arrival & drinks order taken & brought quickly. The meals were piping hot & very tasty! The cheesecake was really delicious too! A fantastic meal in a lovely setting with very reasonable prices ! Thankyou :)

We visited the Wheatsheaf after booking a table online. We received a warm welcome & shown to our table. We asked to move table as we were meeting friends & preferred to sit nearer to them. Nothing was too much trouble. Our order was taken, drinks delivered to the table & our food followed. Great service, tasty food & reasonably priced. Will be returning soon to try more items on the menu. Highly recommend.
