Reviews in Cumbria and Lake District

Had a fantastic weekend at the Wheatshief. We were looked after very well. Great front of house and good food. Room clean, pub lovely. We will definitely come back. The only area where it could improve is the stairs and landing were not clean and need to be vacuumed and the pub floor when you come down for breakfast needs a sweep. Seemed to be a shame that everything was really good except the public areas. However we will return again

Pork belly dish tasted fantastic, but plate and potatoes weren’t very warm. Potatoes were missing from the fish dish and we were told they shouldn’t have been on the menu. Found this a bit odd, but they were provided at our request. Cheesecake for dessert was one of the best I’ve tasted. More serving staff needed, but I realise this is difficult at the moment.

Attentive helpful service, delicious food and beer - we will be back - thank you!

Food was lovely, beef very tender. Piping hot. Deserts expensive for a desert that we thought would be home cooked. Crumble was like jelly and crumble was not like crumble

Booked for our meal via the website, got email confirmation. Arrived early & our table was ready - staff very attentive and friendly. Plenty choice on menu - food was delicious. Food arrived quickly and thoroughly enjoyed by everyone in our party. Staff checked table for more drinks and that food was ok.

Another fabulous meal at the Pheasant Inn. The homemade food is very tasty. Perfect end to a walking day. Local beer is highly recommended too. Friendly, welcoming staff.

Good quality food and excellent service.

My friend & I were greeted with a lovely friendly welcome, there was a good selection of food to choose from on the Menu as well as a 'Specials Board' The food was very good & so tasty, we would definitely recommend it, a nice mix of locals & visitors created a lovely atmosphere.

Food was excellent and good value for money staff were very friendly and helpful highly recommend. Will be back soon

The food, ambience and service were all excellent. A very refreshing change to be able to actually hear chatter rather than some screaming diva. The food was clearly prepared by someone who enjoys producing a quality meal. Those serving the food and drinks were attentive and knew about what they were serving. A thoroughly pleasant dining experience. We also stayed overnight and the room was beautifully clean and well set out. Breakfast was very well presented and delicious. Well done Team Beetham!

First of all the staff are great, excellent service and thankfully had still saved our table even though we were late and they had such demand they could have easily given it away. The food is delicious and the menu far beyond your usual pub. It’s in no way overpriced and has a lovely atmosphere.

Absolute quality. Would thoroughly recommend. Food and staff faultless.

It’s been many years since we’ve been due to moving away from Carlisle. I was hoping that after all this time it would be as fantastic as I remembered, and it was! Great food, beautiful restaurant, incredibly consistent.

We had a pleasant meal in comfortable surroundings. We thought it was slightly overpriced especial for starters and reasonably priced wines.

Another great evening at Lewis’s Amanda and the team are so friendly and efficient Our go to place Food and service fantastic as always We shall return!!!

Lunch yesterday my wife and I had meat pie, chips and vegetables afterwards we had apple gooseberry and treacle crumble with cream. The meal was really enjoyable. Staff were very friendly and couldn’t do enough for us. Excellent service Thank you

Excellent food, very pleasant service and a blissfully not noisy restaurant setting - a rare find these days.
