Reviews in Cumbria and Lake District

I had high hopes for Lewis’s Bistro but was unfortunately let down particularly by the service I received. Upon arriving everything seemed fine I was shown to my table. My starter and main course came out right but once I had finished my main course they took ages to clear it away! when they eventually did I asked for a dessert menu. Got given my dessert menu and they left me to decide. Once I had decided I was left sat there waiting for ages again with the menu in front of me waiting for them to take my order! While other diners were being served efficiently. In the end I went up to the counter to order my dessert only to be told this wasn’t possible because they needed my table for another booking. So I was forced to pay there and then! Very disappointing. I understand you might want to put time restrictions on tables during busy times but it’s then down to you to make sure your customers get served quickly during that time and that they can enjoy 3 courses if they want too. I suppose in the end I got a smaller bill by not having a dessert and you guys missed out on more money! So guess who got the last laugh! I sure won’t be returning anyway x

Friendly staff, good food

Been here several times for food and never disappointed.great food .nice pub and friendly staff ..will be back again .

We had vegetarian food and it was delicious. We'd definitely go there again, and take other people. Very friendly service. Only downside is that my partner was disappointed that there weren't more traditional British beers.

Amazing food and service- couldn’t fault either.

Lovely meal, would definitely recommend

Another excellent meal at the Pheasant Inn, Keswick. Two of us had the beef pie, one the Cumberland sausage ring. Both mains were delicious, accompanied by chips, new potatoes and mash, with perfectly cooked vegetables served in a warm side dish. One dessert of sticky toffee pudding, freshly made. All served by the affable and efficient David.

Exceptional welcome and wonderful food. Super evening at the Queens Head!

Another enjoyable meal. Always the case at La Mezzaluna - great food great staff and good value for money.

A real gem. Great service. Great food. The staff are very friendly, We’ll definitely keep coming back

We regularly come to cockermouth to visit family and tried The Bell Vue for the first time and we were impressed. Lovely quiet atmosphere, staff ensured we got the food exactly as we ordered it, service was very timely. The food was great, plenty on the plate and really tasty. We will be visiting again.

This is the 2nd year running we have dined at The Pheasant Inn during our holiday to Keswick, and it certainly will be our 3rd when we return again in Feb 2025! Superb food, literally the best we’ve had in Keswick and we have been coming for decades! Amazing service, lovely cosy pub atmosphere. We highly recommend this place!

Brilliant restaurant, gorgeous food and friendly staff. Will definitely be going again!

Lovely restaurant. Always very busy. Staff are always welcoming and friendly. Food is delicious. Best Italian in town.

This was our second visit after dining at the Badger Bar on our visit to Grasmere last year. Such a unique old building and a lovely relaxed atmosphere. The staff were so friendly and welcoming to us and our children and dog. The food was delicious and the children’s meals were great. Will definitely be back!

Lovely food, very lovely staff, can't wait to go back.
