Great food, lovely setting - would recommend

My hubby and I had a lovely dinner here. Hubby had rump steak that he said was delicoous, although the mushrooms were a bit withered. I had home made steak and Robinsons Ale pie wguch had big chunks of sreak that was cooked perfectly and lots of gravy. The chef even swapped veg for mushy peas for me. There was too much to eat so they kindly plated it and covered with foil for us to take away. We ate leftovers today. Yum! The beer garden at the rear of the pub is a fantastic sun trap. The sports channel was on TV which could have been at a lower volume, but thats a personal view. A great pub and the guys running it are great. We will return.

Meals were excellent. Staff very friendly. We’ve been here before and it never disappoints. Would recommend if you visit Grasmere

What an amazing find. Do visit as you won't be disappointed.

Lovely Sunday lunch, so good we went back on the Tuesday and had an evening meal, so tasty. Great team too.

Great food & service as usual wouldn’t go anywhere else

Always a wonderful meal. Select no.7 if you dare.

Had a lovely pub lunch. Food was yummy.

The best pasta ,best service and overall best in Carlisle . Lovely midweek, preferably book later or weekend.

Fantastic Lakeland pub offering excellent food alongside friendly service. I can highly recommend a visit.

went last night and had a smashing meal and at a very good price staff were excellent its not a big place but you will need to book its that good next time we in Carlisle we will make a point to go

The best pork belly ever ! Will definitely book again

Delicious meal to celebrate the end of our long hike from Skipton. Friendly welcome and good service. Pea and goats cheese tart and sea bass on crab and lobster ravioli were both excellent. Ice cream tasted homemade and fresh.

We were only in Penrith for a few days, and we found an absolute gem in this restaurant. Really good quality and presented superbly.

Stayed here for a one night Sunday special. We have stayed here previously and it has always been a wonderful place to stay and eat but to be honest on this occasion it was very muck lacking in the quality of food offered in particular the sunday roast was very very disappointing, a crisp roast potato and meat quality is the heart of every roast and these where certainly lacking, the roasters had obviously been stood for some while as I could have bounced them off the wall if required!! I mentioned to the young waiter but he wasnt forth coming with any viable options not even an apology for the lack of quality. The rooms and drinks service were fine but hte meal spoiled what was supposed to be a weekend treat.

Lovely pub. Excellent fish pie and good service. Can recommend.

Superb freshly cooked food, very attentive staff, a great dining experience. Definitely recommend a visit !
