A lovely welcome from the barman who made us feel really welcome. We were a group of 6 and everyone loved the food. All the meals came together with just a nice wait time. The only downside to our meal, we wanted to try the puddings but weee too full. Next time we might go for one of the delicious looking starters and a dessert.

Greyhound Inn Cotehill – CarlisleEverything was fantastic from the moment we walked in, the atmosphere, the food, the wine selection and local gins! The cheese board was superb as was the main course lamb rack. I highly recommend Lewis’s Bistro.
Lewis’s Bistro – GrasmereAbsolutely fantastic food and similar service. Definitely dine at the pheasant inn again!
Pheasant Inn – KeswickHad a lovely meal last night, smoked duck salad starter for me and cheese soufflé for my wife both were lovely and perfect size, often starters are far too big. Then for main, roast chicken for me and loin of pork for my better half again absolutely delicious. Dessert followed for me, dark chocolate crème brûlée. Again just the right portion size. the portion sizes are such that you can enjoy a full 3 courses without being over stuffed. We had a lovely evening and we’ll definitely be back
Grants Of Castlegate – PenrithWe prebooked this restaurant after checking Tripadvisor and the food is very good. I would have given 5* as my food was superb, chicken,leek and bacon pie, my wife had the pork fillet from the specials board and found it too salty. However if in Keswick this is worth a visit about a 12 minute walk out of town but the staff are friendly.
Pheasant Inn – KeswickHearty, delicious food. Enormous portions and we were too full to have a pudding. Friendly, efficient service in a lovely environment. Will definitely come back and highly recommend.
Lewis’s Bistro – GrasmereThe meal was delicious. Very well presented. And excellent.
La Mezzaluna – CarlisleWe recently visited for the first time and were very happy with our evening. The staff were very helpful and friendly and the food was delightful. Excellent value for money too!
Pheasant Inn – KeswickWe had read good things about Lewis's and after a wonderful 3 courses capped with Amarettos over ice, we agreed that the food is lovely, the service is attentive without being intrusive and the price is about right for the location and the standard of the menu on offer. Highly recommended and will definitely return.
Lewis’s Bistro – GrasmereNice, homely pub with great service and good, down-to-earth food. Definitely recommend the lamb henry. Dog-friendly too!
Pheasant Inn – KeswickI explained one of our group is vegetarian and gluten intolerant at the time of booking, but the only real option was the vegetables without the meat/wellington. It was quite cold when we sat down, but it did warm up a bit when a few more people came in. The basic roast dinners were generous, but there weren’t many side vegetables for 4 people to share. Nice ice creams.
Pheasant Inn – KeswickJust been for our 3rd visit in 3 years of visiting Grasmere. Love this restaurant, food is amazing, and the staff are so attentive and welcoming.
Lewis’s Bistro – GrasmereWe had the black pudding bon bons to start, which were delicious. We then ordered the vegetarian Wellington and the Cumberland sausage; both of which we would highly recommend. Good service too throughout the evening.
Pheasant Inn – KeswickFive of us went for Sunday lunch as we’ve done happily on previous annual visits to Keswick. Staff were friendly and we were quickly shown to our table although it was very busy. Our order was taken quickly but sadly we had to wait over an hour for our meal. We were told after several requests that the kitchen was short-staffed. The roast dinners when they arrived were disappointing with very dry beef and some over-cooked vegetables. There was also far too much food.
Pheasant Inn – KeswickFood was absolutely amazing. My daughter has coeliac and the range of food for her is the best in Carlisle. The staff are very helpful and friendly. Mezzaluna is our go to restaurant.
