Reviews in Cumbria and Lake District

Fantastic food and friendly service. We booked our meal the same day and wasn’t sure what to expect but we thoroughly enjoyed the food. Staff were really friendly and service was quick.

Always a treat going to the Wheatsheaf. Whether it’s for lunch, dinner or just a swift half, we’ve always enjoyed our visit. A warm welcome, great atmosphere, lovely food and a smashing pint awaits.

Searched for a good place to eat before visiting Keswick and pre booked a table at The Pheasant. Fantastic food, great service, cosy surroundings. Recommend booking as it was a midweek night and still very busy. Lamb Henry was perfectly cooked, the beef pie was flavoursome and the chips were home-cooked and tasty. Prices were excellent considering its popularity. We will definitely go back when we next visit Keswick.

excellent meal all round. Nice and ward with good service and friendly atmosphere. My daughter has Coeliac disease and has to be gluten free - no problem here, really made us all feel relaxed the menu was very clear regarding what was and wasn't gluten free so we knew exactly what we could and couldn't share and so nice for the chips in particular to be GF so much more choice. Thank you.

I was very pleasantly surprised by the Pheasant Inn. I was expecting more pub that serves food versus a restaurant that is also a pub. The food is very, very good. Everyone at our table was very pleased by what was ordered. A very cozy, pleasant experience and I would very happily come back.

Very welcoming and friendly. Had a lovely meal with plenty of choice. Would recommend.

Always a great experience at a genuine Keswick Pub. Great food, friendly efficient service and a warm - if a little cluttered - atmosphere. All part of the charm of one of the best dining venues in Keswick.

We booked a table for a meal with family. We travelled 3 hours to get there. When we arrived at the relevant date and time the restaurant was closed. Found another nice restaurant to go to instead, but was disappointed.

Excellent experience. Staff were very friendly and efficient. Beer was good, food very tasty and well presented. Whole process from online booking to paying was well managed. Really enjoyed our evening

Visited with family from the Midlands They had been many years ago and loved the hotel Their meals were fine but mine was v v disappointing I am coeliac and was limited for choice I chose the beef dinner The meat was inedible It was so tough I could have soled my shoes with it !! Not really what I expected from a hotel of your calibre

We had a lovely afternoon tea at Rothay Garden on Saturday 16th December 2023. The hotel were able to deal with Gluten Free requirements and the dog was made most welcome! Highly recommended.

The delicious, home cooked food was lovely. We would recommend the Belle Vue to anyone looking for a tasty meal, friendly atmosphere and excellent service.

The food we had was very nice but very disappointing that there was nothing left in the menu for starters even though we had booked the table in advance The staff were lovely and very friendly just a shame they ran out of droid for starters

Fantastic food and service. Highly recommend.

Called for Sunday lunch. Very nicely cooked and quick professional service. Staff were welcoming and cheerful and we will certainly be renewing our acquaintance with the Wheatsheaf fairly soon.

We had a meal for 4 on NYE staff were really welcoming and service was great. We had 3 Sunday roast meals that were amazing with a good selection of vegetables. One person had fish pie and said it was delicious. We had one person who was gluten free and they were well catered for. The STP was gorgeous, highly recommended, we will be back 5 Star

Great place to enjoy a Sunday lunch near Keswick. Lots of food and very friendly staff. Good value for money. Booking in advance required to avoid disappointment. I would return there when in the area.

My husband, daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed our Sunday lunch. It was beautifully prepared and served. The serving staff were very pleasant and attentive.
