Reviews in Cumbria and Lake District

Food was poor or at least below expectations. A sunday roast and fish and chips are a great test of a kitchen. They were both just about OK. The white fish was fresh but flaky, not suitable for deep frying. The triple cookedd chips were dry, possibly undercooked or left under warmer. Easiest thing in the world to do. Roast had veg piled in the middle of the plate covered in gravy that can only be described as Brown. Beef was overdone. Ill give the Wheatsheaf the benefit of the doubt and say it was a busy sunday running up to Christmas andthey were overbooked. I'd like to know one reason why I should give them my patronage again though

Excellent service and delicious food in lovely surroundings - thank you.

Second time we've eaten at the Pheasant Inn. Excellent food, wonderful staff. Is now our ' go to' when we're in Keswick.

Second visit after riding MTB bikes , food is great and staff are friendly. Easy booking online.

The place was warm and friendly,the staff courteous and the food was very good and great value for money.

Meal fine but I wasn’t fond of the ‘proper’ chips. Not at all appealing to look at. I prefer a nice golden chip. Not a lover of the taste either.

Excellent food and friendly good service

We've made a last minute booking for a Sunday lunch and our experience was amazing. Very friendly and warm welcoming staff, excellent Sunday roast, both beef and pork. Reasonable prices and good location close to the trails.

Excellent meal. 4 Xmas dinners and 1 beef all really enjoyed. Good serive and warm welcoming pub

After years of visiting Keswick this is the first time we’ve ventured to the Pheasant Inn, but I have to say the drink,food and service was excellent, from what I could see if you just wanted a drink there were three tables that appeared to be available for drinks, it really does feel like a traditional pub. We will definitely be going back and booking well in advance as the place is very popular.

Delicious food and great atmosphere. Super, friendly service.

Cosy atmosphere. Well presented tasty food. Staff very pleasant and welcoming.

We were very pleased with our meal at the Belle Vue. The atmosphere was warm and friendly, and the staff were welcoming. We all had the two course Festive lunch and it was excellent, plenty of it and very well presented ( and above all, very tasty!) We certainly will return. Thank you

Best pub in Keswick! We had a meal there last night, absolutely amazing food. Three of us had the turkey roast and one had the lamb shank, everything was superb . Staff are brilliant and the atmosphere in the pub is the best. We will be back for more!

Absolutely brilliant grub. Lamb and chorizo stew is to die for. Great range of beers on tap too.

The food at Grants is beautiful - local ingredients, cooked perfectly - and the staff were knowledgeable and very friendly. Highly recommended.

Excellent meal, service and surroundings. We were running late due to public transport and it was not a problem. When booking did not have to leave card details or pay a deposit. I cannot recommend this place enough will definitely be back.

Despite several emails to the pub confirming my booking and providing a pre order, when my friends arrived they were told there was no booking or pre order received. They were given no cutlery and had to wait ten minutes for it, and were not asked if they wanted to order drinks. This shows an atrocious level of customer service in a venue which is being mis managed with faulty procedures in place.
