Had a lovely meal on Thursday 29 February 2024 with my husband, Gary. This was the second time we have visited the restaurant on our stay at Grasmere. The food was excellent and good value for money. The staff were really helpful and friendly and we will visit again next time we are at Grasmere.
Lewis’s Bistro – GrasmereThis was our first visit to The Wheatsheaf set in picturesque Beetham. We enjoyed a lovely lunch and received excellent and attentive service from Tanya and Lucie. Our visit couldn't have been more enjoyable. Thankyou
The Wheatsheaf at Beetham – MilnthorpeGreat food, Great service.
Lewis’s Bistro – GrasmereFirst visit to the pheasant on Sunday Lovely Sunday lunch plenty of meat and cheesy leeks were delicious. Pub had good atmosphere lovely roaring fire in the bar visited as a couple 1 dog staff very pleasant did think it was tad pricey but we were in the lakes £17.95 for Sunday lunch £8.95 dessert would def return though think we bit out of touch with prices x
Pheasant Inn – KeswickMelt in the mouth lamb shank and highly recommended cheeseboard and thunder and lightning dessert. Service friendly and helpful. Fab every time we come . Thank you
Lewis’s Bistro – GrasmereWe generally enjoyed our meal at Lewis' Bistro. The food was well cooked and very tasty. (The lamb, which my husband chose was 'fantastic' apparently!) In addition our waiter, a young girl, was absolutely delightful. Our only reservations were, first, the price - the food here is expensive, especially as portions are not over generous! ( My monkfish portion was quite small, even for me and I don't eat 'big' amounts) Our other reservation is that we were given a table right next to the door, which meant we were periodically cold, and far too close to another couple, so there was zero privacy. ( We eventually started just chatting to them. They were very nice but it wasn't what we'd planned!) I think we would have had a better overall experience if we'd sat elsewhere and tables had been less crammed together. However, we still judge it to be a 'good' restaurant .. and would go again!
