Reviews in Cumbria and Lake District

We was recommended the pheasent and been numerous times ,always busy but always given excellent service, excellent food ,the staff are amazing nothing too much trouble

Great food friendly service

Had a lovely meal on Friday night. Will definitely be returning

An unassuming little hideaway offering a surprisingly extensive menu. The food was both excellent and plentiful with the service being friendly and attentive. We visited on a quiet day (hence the reduced score), but when full, I'm sure the place would be buzzing. Wish we had found it sooner - but we'll certainly be back again next visit.

Had a lovely 1 night stay at the queen's head staff made you feel very welcome, we dined in the restaurant and had a excellent meal would certainly go back if in the area keep up the good work.

Excellent food

Had a really lovely starters (garlic mushrooms) and dinner (fillet steak) yesterday. Both delicious but the fillet steak was cooked to perfection (med to well). Hubby had black sausage and pork belly, both v good Also ice cream pud shared. Great atmosphere had lovely nite. Server's nice. Bit more expensive than the pubs but worth it.

Excellent food

Last minute booking. Food excellent, service brilliant and friendly atmosphere.

Everything you would expect from a local country pub. Well worth a visit.

Great food. Good atmosphere. Lovely polite staff. If we want a meal out in Keswick it's always our first choice.

menu is not the biggest but the food was very good and tasty

Quick service lovely good quality food and drink was good too in nice glasses

First visit but a really good find and we will certainly eat here again. The food was delicious, I had belly pork which was drop to bits tender. My daughter had chicken which was also beautifully cooked. All the accompaniments were of an equally high standard. After a starter and a main course we were too full to have a desert. My only criticism is that the portions were too large particularly the belly pork. I am only too aware of people in this world of ours are starving. I felt really guilty leaving so much food on my plate.

What a find! We had a great evening in Lewis Bistro this week. On a Tuesday night we wondered if it might be quiet - not a bit of it, several tables were turned over twice while we had dinner. Great service, delicious food, generous portions - highly recommended. Booking is a must - no walk-ins available on the night we visited.

Fish pie was had lots of fish so worth the money but was very dry. Venison berginon was good but could have been warmer. We both had a sweet, cheese cake & sticky toffee pudding which were lovely.

This is just one of those places you should go, it's a traditional pub serving great food and the staff are also great.

Excellent food well cooked and well presented BUT no interesting drinks without alcohol , no espresso coffee and an unchanging menu
