Great Sunday lunch. I had pork and hubby had chicken. Both served with yorkshire puddings and a great selection of veg. We shared lemon posset for pudding served with home made shortbread biscuits. Food excellent and staff friendly and efficient. Book in advance to he sure of a table.
Pheasant Inn – KeswickWe visited The Wheatsheaf recently and enjoyed the food we were served, the Staff were great, very friendly and welcoming. Should we be in the area again we will most definitely call in for a meal.
The Wheatsheaf Inn – KendalThis was the first time we had visited and the food and service was top notch! We arrived early but they let us have a table and have pre dinner drinks. Unfortunately they didn't run to cocktails, though they seemed to have all the ingredients. The scallops were delicious, which all 4 of us had, followed by the pork or steak, though I thought the latter was overpriced. All food was cooked to perfection. I would certainly recommend this little gem!
Grants Of Castlegate – PenrithAlways book a table here when we're holidaying in Keswick. Food is very good nice atmosphere in a busy restaurant.
Pheasant Inn – KeswickGorgeous little place ! Lovely food and staff ! Highly recommended!
Lewis’s Bistro – GrasmereExcellant all round
The Wheatsheaf at Beetham – MilnthorpeA hotel full of character set in a lovely village just far enough away from the main road. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The menu was quite extensive and varied. It was well prepared and presented. Louise was very efficient and not over pushy. Overall a very nice experience in a lovely hotel.
The Wheatsheaf at Beetham – MilnthorpeThe Farmers Arms at Lowick Green was recommended by the host of our Airbnb holiday home. A party of 7, we were made to feel very welcome on arrival. The staff were friendly and looked like they really enjoy their work. We sampled a range of the local ales and lagers, delicious!! Whilst the menu is not extensive, there was something to appeal to everyone and we thoroughly enjoyed our food. We loved the 70’s vibe and decor .
Farmers Arms – UlverstonGreat atmosphere with friendly staff - food, limited choice but excellent quality on ‘pizza Thursday’
Farmers Arms – UlverstonWe had a wonderful meal here, it’s so refreshing to be able to go to a place and eat top restaurant food whilst with the dog… most dog friendly places are pubs or do basic food. We were pleasantly surprised with this place. Every course was wonderful, excellent and friendly service and the place was full which makes for a great atmosphere! Didn’t even notice any dogs as they’re all so well behaved. Will return next time we are in the lakes!
Lewis’s Bistro – GrasmereGreat Food best meal of the week in Keswick.service great.portions Great. Will be back in November. Thanks
Pheasant Inn – KeswickAnother lovely evening . Fabulous food and friendly staff. Thank you
La Mezzaluna – CarlisleGreat service, friendly staff, lovely food. Our dog enjoyed it too. Would definitely recommend.
The Wheatsheaf at Beetham – MilnthorpeWe had pre booked to eat at the resturant for 5:30 pm arrived 11:30 intending to do a short walk around rydal / caves . We parked up only to greeted by a very rude man who came out of the hotel saying we couldn’t park there despite are booking or are vehicle would be clamped even though the car park was empty. We tried explaining but this fell on deaf ears needles to say we cancelled and went elsewhere I certainly won’t be returning with such bad customer service .
Glen Rothay Hotel and Badger Bar – RydalWe arrived early to enjoy a drink in the sunshine outside before eating. My husband asked straight away if we could extend our table and the request was granted, no problem, even though we had anticipated having to leave to make room for the second sitting. The warm, welcoming service continued and my order of a main course that was not exactly as the menu offered was granted with pleasure. Service was slow, in terms of our food being served, with diners all arriving together for the first sitting of the night. It’s a shame, and our only criticism of the evening. It didn’t spoil our night though and we both enjoyed our selections. All in all, Lewis’s was delightful.
