Excellent meal with attentive service . The only negative was the cheese and leek gratin which was very runny and basically inedible. This was mentioned after service and on payment of the account . They were apologetic but no offer of a discount in full for the course or part thereof .
Lewis’s Bistro – GrasmereMy stir fry was very salty. My wife’s veggie wellington was delicious - if anything there was too much on the plate. Bailey’s cheesecake was lovely. Odd building - lots of disjointed areas. Eating spaces could do with some music so that you don’t hear everyone else’s chat. Felt a bit disorganised when we arrived even though we’d booked.
Glen Rothay Hotel and Badger Bar – RydalAfter a lovely day in Keswick - pencil museum included - we had an early bite at the Pheasant Inn. The beer was lovely and very welcome on a hot day and the food - one meat and two veggie - was great. The staff managed to step around and over our dog (who had decided the best place to be was in the middle of the slate floor) and everything was fresh and filling. And the beer was great.
Pheasant Inn – KeswickAbsolutely lovely Sunday Lunch - visited with wife and friends. Food was lovely and plentiful - Excellent cheesy leeks - Nice selection of drinks - Staff very polite and friendly - Highly Recommend
Pheasant Inn – KeswickA very popular and busy pub with a varied menu, tasty food and good portions. The Lamb Henry and Sticky Toffee Pudding definitely a favourite of mine. We will be back soon when we next visit Keswick
Pheasant Inn – KeswickWe visited the Pheasant on Monday 20th May The staff were very friendly and helpful but the food was exceptional, the best chips we have had in years, I had the venison and my wife had the beef pie and both were delicious, so much so we booked again for later in the week. Well worth a visit when in Keswick
Pheasant Inn – KeswickLoved it all! The food was exceptional and the service fast and friendly, but also professional. Had my 40th birthday there and don’t regret it one bit! Will visit again for sure!
Grants Of Castlegate – PenrithWe enjoyed our visit very much - cozy atmosphere, friendly staff and delicious food.
Pheasant Inn – KeswickHaving been many times the food was great … however we felt a little isolated on service.
Pheasant Inn – KeswickGreat food as always but felt a little neglected wrt service.
Pheasant Inn – KeswickTwo weeks later and we were back having Sunday lunch again. Veggie roast, couldn't have been better and seemed to have grown bigger, wonderful vegetables. Same table as before - great and excellent service. This time there were three very good dessert options. Would have loved to have tried the crumble but we were absolutely full and more than satisfied with the main dish - sorry! Returning again very soon Thank you
Harry’s Cafe Bar at Yew Tree Barn – Grange-over-SandsEven though the waitresses were run off their feet, the service they provided was very good, indeed. The food, both presentation and taste, were excellent and yummy. The Wheatsheaf is friendly and comfortable. I would have, and, actually have had, no problem with recommending it to friends. It’s a good place. A keeper!
The Wheatsheaf at Beetham – MilnthorpeRecently stayed at this cosy pub for 4 nights. Breakfasts and evening meals were excellent particularly the new menu which started on our third night. No complaints at all and will return.
Queens Head Inn Tirril – PenrithWe were in for dinner on a Saturday evening, it was a great atmosphere, the food was lively and the staff were very attentive
La Mezzaluna – CarlisleExcellent food especially the onion rings, been few times always excellent, this is how the ideal public house should be please don’t change
Queens Head Inn Tirril – PenrithWe are in the area on holiday either family, and decided to try Lewis's Bistro as it is just a walk away from our cottage. What a find! Fantastic food, we all enjoyed our meals tremendously, and will definitely be going back next year. As a vegetarian, I had a choice of two dishes and I was impressed by the flavour and inventiveness that was achieved in a tofu dish. The three meat eater all raved about their food, and we all agreed it was one of the best meals we'd had together.
Lewis’s Bistro – GrasmereExcellent meal here with a group of friends as we started the Coast to Coast hike. Food quality and presentation was excellent. Service was outstanding. Nice ambience. Stephen is a talented chef. Highly recommend.
