Reviews in Cumbria and Lake District

Our annual visit to Keswick and we always have at least 2 meals at the Pheasant and always book well in advance. On the Saturday night it was incredibly busy and there was quite a wait for food but it was certainly worth waiting for. The Venison Bourguignon was great as was my wife's vegetarian option. On Wednesday we both had Lamb Henry with chips rather than mash. Another great meal. Suberb chips and vegetables and on both occasions neither of us could manage a dessert. Staff were very friendly, especially the man who was waiting on and sorted out a table for a couple with a baby and offered to help them carry out their own highchair after their meal. Also liked that they sent confirmation email after I booked online and I also got a reminder of the booking the day before. Best meals of our holiday. All in all, faultless. Thank you. See you next year Pheasant.

The pub was busy and so service was slow. When we got our coffees they were warm at best. When our meals arrived which was quite a bit later, I found the fish batter too greasy for my taste but my husband enjoyed his ham, eggs and chips although the eggs were not runny. Also a tad expensive in general

Reviews about the beef pie were right. Great meals and deserts and it felt like we had a really good dining experience. Will be sure to return next holiday.

We had a team meeting at The Kings Arms for Thai night and it is fantastic! Thai night at the kings is an amazing idea and we will definitely be back thank you! The food was amazing and so were the staff!

Great pub, good food & beer. Friendly & chatty staff, good service. Definitely on our list to go back

Amazing food, absolutely outstanding. Fabulous service, if a teeny bit slow but it looked a tiny kitchen and it was, not surprisingly, very busy. A little expensive but it is a tourist hotspot so expected. With that in mind it was value for money. Lovely little restaurant So good we went back the following night. Make sure you book in advance as we saw people turned away all the time we were there!

Excellent restaurant within easy reach of the station. Interesting menu and very helpful staff. Reasonable prices too.

Exceptional meal in relaxed surroundings, in the beautiful village of Grasmere.

Love the Wheatsheaf, food is good in a great location. All the young staff are very well trained and engaging. Very good cask beer is a bonus.

Staff are very friendly. The food was delicious. Toilets are very clean. Great place.

Great pub, relaxing atmosphere. Very friendly and helpful people. Lovely food and very helpful with gluten free requirements, thank you very much.

The staff were wonderful. We arrived from out of town an hour early and they made us welcome and found space for us. The lunch was plentiful and excellent. The variety on the plate was unexpected and all fabulous. Highly recommend.

Sunday lunch was just brilliant.

Great food superb service. All staff were very helpful and curtious. Will definitely be back. Thank you

Great food again

There was a group of 6 of us for a sat night dinner. The restaurant was busy when we arrived but we had booked and our table was waiting for us. We all had starters except one and all thought their choices were delicious. The main courses were all great, one was forgotten and arrived later than the rest but staff were most apologetic. None of us had desserts. Overall an excellent meal in a lovely atmosphere.
