Reviews in Cumbria and Lake District

We were on holiday at the local Whinfell Forest Center Parcs and came to Grants for a birthday meal. We had an amazing time. The menu was lovely and we can highly recommend the fillet steak, cooked to perfection. With two children in our party, we were delighted to hear that there were child friendly meals such as sausages, southern fried chicken, etc. But going the extra mile, they offered to do a smaller portion of anything on the main menu for the children too. Overall, fantastic service, lovely food and very reasonably priced for such high quality. We will definitely return when we’re back in the area.

Superb great food good beer could not fault it. It has to be the best pub in Keswic

Food was good. Service was very poor I am sure that the people who booked in for the 6-00 sitting thoroughly enjoyed it but I can assure you that the people on the 8-00 sitting did not They are too busy and cannot cope It is obvious when you look at the stressed out staff Please management, just do the 6-00 sitting instead of trying to earn a bit more and spoiling your reputation Also I know it is a thing in the lakes but why do you allow dogs in to a nice restaurant, let them sit in a side room or outside ,not in a room that’s busy where food is being served

Went here for a meal with my partner. Fantastic food and wine. Two courses and a glass of wine each came to £85 which is quite pricey, but the food was magnificent. I would definitely recommend and return if I was in the area.

Warm hospitality and very good food for reasonable prices. Very friendly staff in a familiar atmosphere. We will come again. Thank you very much.

Best food in town and always great,friendly service. My favourite place to eat and will choose it every time! Never disappoints.Love La Mezzaluna!

The food, atmosphere and service were impeccable. We will definitely be back next time we visit

Food was amazing. All of the staff were lovely, very welcoming and polite. We will be going back in 2 weeks for my daughters birthday. Thank you all for a lovely meal for my husbands birthday.

Whilst the food is always good, big problem with bookings - I had a five minute conversation with one of the staff on our previous visit on Sunday, and requested a specific table for a return visit this evening. The member of staff filled this in on the iPad reservation in front of me, so I know it was done. We arrived this evening to find that our table had been given to someone else!! I had requested a table to suit my needs, but this had been totally disregarded. Can I just comment at a time where we are all considering our mental well-being, that not every issue is visible.

Delicious fresh food served in a restaurant with a lovely atmosphere from people who care. What’s not to love.

Always good honest food at The Pheasant . Staff are always friendly, attentive and pleasant to chat with. Will be going back soon

The food was very enjoyable, the service was good and the atmosphere was lively considering the time of our sitting. However, the peas served with our meal had clearly not been cooked as they were fridge cold. The staff member we reported it to apologised and said she would pass it on. I didn't think this was a satisfactory response so mentioned it to the staff member who I was paying my bill to and a more acceptable resolution was offered by a reduction to the bill. During the meal, we were not asked if everything was ok. This will not stop us from another visit to The Pheasant.

Delicious dinner with 4 friends. Staff were friendly and service was good. Menu is fairly standard but quality of food was good. Enjoyed our meal.

Unfortunately not as good as our springtime visit. The main man behind the bar was missing, don't know whether he's left, but he was an extremely good host. I'd ordered the ham Sunday roast but the meat was dry. I was given another piece when I complained which was tender and tasty. We tried to order desserts by attracting the staff but the menu wasn't forthcoming. A gentleman from another table also asked on our behalf. Eventually we ordered and the steam pudding and custard was good. I'd recommended the place last time to friends but I probably won't this time.

Lovely Sunday roast

Lovely food and friendly staff, but very, very rushed. We were in the restaurant for less than an hour (just had 2 courses). They wanted us to order within 2 minutes of sitting down, had to ask if we could order a drink first, and even then the waitress was back at our table in less than 5 minutes for our food order. As I said, food was nice and staff friendly enough, just made us feel rushed and I have to say, unwelcome. Will try elsewhere next time.

Wonderful food & fabulous service

Had a scrummy meal on Saturday. There were 5 of us in the party and we all had something different. I had the Venison , it was so tender. Fab service, lovely wine and delicious food. Definitely go back again.
