Reviews in Cumbria and Lake District

Loved 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!

We enjoyed our visit very much - cozy atmosphere, friendly staff and delicious food.

Having been many times the food was great … however we felt a little isolated on service.

Great food as always but felt a little neglected wrt service.

Two 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

Even 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!

Recently 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.

We were in for dinner on a Saturday evening, it was a great atmosphere, the food was lively and the staff were very attentive

Excellent food especially the onion rings, been few times always excellent, this is how the ideal public house should be please don’t change

We 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.

Excellent 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.

Lovely food . Great atmosphere

Had a lovely evening at Rothay Garden restaurant. Food (we had cod & salmon) tasted really good and was cooked perfectly. Wine was chilled and refreshing, a pinot grigio blush. Service was superb as were our surroundings. A fabulous experience start to finish and we would definitely return. Thank you.

We stayed at The Wheatsheaf last year and said we would definitely return if back in the area. We popped back on Thursday 16th and booked a table for lunch and once again the food and the service was outstanding. We took our wee dog in to and they looked after him with water and a treat. We look forward to our next visit

We had a Saturday night family birthday celebration dinner at Grants recently with my extended family. The food was delicious, one of the best meals we all agreed that any of us had had in a while and the presentation excellent! The staff were very friendly and accommodating especially for the GF requirement one of us had, the F&B service was very good as well. The restaurant had a lovely atmosphere. We had a table at the back of the restaurant on the upper floor which was light and airy. We have no hesitation in recommending Grants at Castlegate and we hope to dine their again when next visiting our relatives in Penrith.

Lovely place, staff were amazing, food was great and very reasonably priced. We will definitely be back :)
