A lovely pub. Always welcoming. Food was excellent, I loved the Lancashire Haggis! Friendly and cheerful service. Very good choice of beers including well-kept local ales. I often recommend the Wheatsheaf. Thanks to everyone!
The Wheatsheaf at Beetham – MilnthorpeAmazing food, great service and fantastic atmosphere. The room was amazing too
The Wheatsheaf at Beetham – MilnthorpeWe've had a few excellent lunches here, but this was our first special occasion - the Festive Christmas Lunch. Warm atmosphere in the barn, attentive and helpful waitress, nice chilled rose wine, excellent roast dinner. Particularly liked the vegetables and gravy - the rolled breast of turkey while good wasn't excellent. We were too full to have pudding! This cafe is wonderful - we can't praise it highly enough - it deserves all the plaudits it gets. Thank you to a brilliant, talented, innovative chef.
Harry’s Cafe Bar at Yew Tree Barn – Grange-over-SandsEvery course was delicious and portions perfect
The Wheatsheaf at Beetham – MilnthorpeBooked last minute for 8 , no problems and had a beautiful post walk lunch. Pub cosy , atmospheric and food was amazing.
Pheasant Inn – KeswickWe have been to the restaurant many times over the last few months, also have a lovely time, good food, and wine, very polite and good service by all staff, have recommended family & friends.
The Wheatsheaf at Beetham – MilnthorpeWe enjoyed our Christmas Eve dinner, lots of choice great vegetarian options and may we say a big thank you to all staff and to Laura she makes the best cheese cake ever. We have visited many times best food in Keswick.
Pheasant Inn – KeswickEasy online booking and reminder several days before the reservation date. A menu in which there was something for everyone and, being Christmas, a seasonal choice too. Both our choices were well presented, tasty and filling. The variety of vegetables in the side dish were also very good. A warm and welcoming place to eat so I would definitely recommend it.
Pheasant Inn – KeswickLovely atmosphere in the barn: log fire and tables beautifully set. excellent service and an excellent Christmas lunch
Harry’s Cafe Bar at Yew Tree Barn – Grange-over-SandsAmazing food and great service. Definitely recommend and we will be returning.
Kings Arms – UlverstonWe had a very enjoyable meal here. Booked for our party of 4 at 7.30 , service was friendly and prompt. Food was freshly cooked and served with a nice selection of vegetables.
Pheasant Inn – KeswickDespite having been described as “congenitally greedy” I have to say I had my fill when enjoying Harry’s Cafe Bar Christmas lunch. It was perfect in every way. Could not be faulted. Top class.
Harry’s Cafe Bar at Yew Tree Barn – Grange-over-SandsWe had the brioche bun with halloumi sticks. It was smothered in mayo and included many cold ingredients so the halloumi and portobello mushroom were cold too. Chips were lovely. Affogato was awful - the coffee and amaretto sauce was watery and it was served with an overdone ginger biscuit - an amaretto biscuit would have complimented better. Our friends chocolate brownie was really a chocolate sponge, it lacked the richness of a brownie. Staff tried hard and we were seated by the fire which was cosy. The wine was decent and beer good. The Wheatsheaf just needs a few tweaks to make it a great place to eat.
The Wheatsheaf at Beetham – MilnthorpeAs expected and as always delicious food, great service, lovely atmosphere and well worth a visit!
La Mezzaluna – CarlisleAn excellent Christmas lunch thank you. Very generous, tasty portions. The cauliflower cheese was amazing. Great atmosphere as always. We will be returning to enjoy a dessert as the main course was so generous.
Harry’s Cafe Bar at Yew Tree Barn – Grange-over-SandsWe went to the pub to try their pie and pint night. The pie and chips were tasty but not big and really just enough for my husband. The wine and beer were also fine. The only thing I didn't enjoy were the vegetables because they tasted as if they were frozen. It was however good value but I hope fresh vegetables would be considered.
We had a lovely meal. The food was very tasty and well presented. The staff and service are friendly. The only thing I would say is that some of the dishes are too expensive..fish pie and many other choices £20+ and deserts £8.50?! Having said that we will be going again but maybe just choose something else.
