Our favourite Italian in Carlisle. Fabulous food, great customer service, decent prices!!

As always, really great food and ever welcoming service. Definitely the best place in Carlisle for an appetising meal, especially if time is tight. Great value for money!

10/10...Service, Food absolutely fantastic. Thankyou.

Always visit when in Carlisle, fantastic food, service and lovely atmosphere.

Lovely meal and good service meant a great evening was spent with friends. Being saturday night it was pretty busy and quite lively but that didn't detract from our experience

Delicious food. Friendly efficient service and warm cosy atmosphere. Definitely recommend

Cracking fish and chips for me and 2 friends, plus a classic cheese and onion pie for my wife - very nice indeed. Service great too!

Superb food in a lovely cosy atmosphere and lovely attentive staff and so friendly,will definitely return for more!!

Fabulous time in Sage & Vine! Amazing food & wine, excellent service, very friendly & welcoming. Perfect place to chill, spend time with friends. Staff very attentive.

When visiting Keswick we always call in at the Pheasant and are never disappointed Old Peculiar on draft is excellent We had the Pheasant and black pudding for main and it was really good Sticky toffee pudding is the best I have had anywhere The Staff were very polite and were interested as to where we were from We definitely be going again Till the next time CHEERS

The restaurant became quite cold as the fire reduced. Our main meals were so very hot we could not eat them for ages, meaning our veg on a side dish got cold. My fish pie was on a serviette on the plate, the waitress explained this was to stop the dish of the pie from slipping from the plate. Unfortunately the dish was stuck to the serviette & far too hot to lift it off. I prefer my food all on one plate & able to eat the vegetables with the main dish. We decided not to have a sweet of Apple & Gooseberry Crumble with custard in case it too came red hot. We have eaten at the Pheasant a few times with a group of friends & enjoyed it. Sadly this was our 38th wedding anniversary and we were disappointed with our food on this occasion.

Tasty and reliable, as ever.

First class in every way as always. Service brilliant, staff friendly and funny the food is unbelievable. Just top, top class.

any time we stay in Carlisle we always book a table never disappointed with the service is fast staff so helpful and good value for your money and 10 out of 10 for the food

Fantastic meal in a real cosy pub with great staff

My partner and I visited on 28th January 2026 and had a most enjoyable evening. Both the food and service were excellent, definitely worth dining here.
