Great experience - very friendly staff, excellent food. Best cheese board I’ve had!

Had a fabulous meal at Lewis's Bistro last night. Great food, lovely staff and at last somewhere in Grasmere where you can take your hound and have a really good quality meal. Thank you, Lewis's

What a delightful find for our weekend away! Welcoming venue and staff who were very accommodating when I requested a change of table due to my deaf ear (otherwise I'd have only been able to hear the conversation at the next table all evening!). And quite simply THE best pork belly that my husband and I have ever eaten, highly recommend!

Great food as usual. Will definitely come back. Great staff and very friendly. Must make a booking especially during summer.

Lovely food, very nice pub

We visited The Farmers Arms as a group of four this weekend. We love this community pub and we're keen to share another Farmers Arms experience with visiting friends. As always the staff were friendly and helpful. We enjoyed a freshly cooked, locally sourced meal accompanied by great beers from the region. We will visit again very soon. All the ingredients are there for a perfect evening with friends- relaxing and thoughtfully created environment- friendly and helpful staff- a daily menu made with locally sourced ingredients and good beer. Icing on the cake too!! The shop space with handmade items that you can peruse for that special object to top the evening off!

An absolutely fabulous restaurant. Great menu with plenty of gluten free options. Plenty of hot steaming food cooked to perfection and pleasent staff. Good prices too. What's not to like? Highly recommend

Lovely meal and staff were great. We would definitely recommend it to others. Perfect for couples or a catch up with friends Thank you

We ate here on the 6th July as my son was here on holiday all I can say is this restaurant is fantastic the food is to die for staff are so friendly and the prices are very good we have eaten here so many times I have ran out of praise I would highly recommend eating here if you visit carlisle

Another amazing meal at our favourite restaurant can’t wait to return

Haven't been for a while really enjoyed the food. Service was great.

Excellent food, great atmosphere, helpful staff and great draught beer.

5* all round, a friendly welcome, great atmosphere, excellent choices on the menu, the food was beautiful and the service first class, we live local and this was our first visit to Grants to celebrate my wife's birthday as a couple, everything was just brilliant easily outweighed our expectations. We will be back,.

Every plate emptied. Range of food to suit everyone. Friendly prompt service. Really lovely evening.

Everything was really good. We enjoyed our dinner very much!

Lovely meal, but one problem was my sister is a vegetarian and the hake had bits of bacon which ruined the meal for her.

Great food and atmosphere was great…we ate there on the 2nd July 2024…they catered for our 1 year old and nothing was a problem, definitely will return.
