Reviews in Cumbria and Lake District

We had to wait an hour for our food but when it eventually arrived it was excellent. The food couldn't be faulted but I couldn't say the same about the service

We absolutely loved it here! The service and food was amazing from start to finish, the perfect end to our weekend away, would highly recommend!

This was our third visit to the Pheasant. Each time, we have enjoyed the food, but the service is very slow in spite of the restaurant not being very busy. We waited over 45 minutes and the table of Six to the side if us , including children, walked out!!

We had a lovely meal at Lewis's last Saturday. I had sea bass and my husband had lamb. I then had the treacle and lemon curd tart and my husband had the cheese board. It was all delicious. The staff were very helpful and friendly. I would definitely recommend and we will be back.

Fabulous afternoon tea in a very relaxed setting, lovely friendly staff would recommend to everyone. We will hopefully return to stay over night at Augill castle one day.

Another great meal - beautifully cooked and beautifully presented. Delicious! Great service and so much better than other places near to Penrith. We will continue to visit and support this restaurant.

Superb food The staff were so friendly and attentive The food was delicious So pleased we booked last night Would defo recommend Lewis’s Bistro

Turned away by restaurant, despite both booking on line and arriving before cut off time for ordering food...very disappointing attitude

Fantastic food, one of the best meals I have had in a long time and wonderful staff!

Our first visit and what a marvellous experience. Relaxed atmosphere, delicious food , a wee bit pricey but worth it.

Absolutely amazing as always

Excellent food, good potion size, perfect could not fault. Dogs are welcome to. Tip, you will need to book

Fabulous Pub. Decent quality food at reasonable prices. Good choice of items along with a daily specials board. Very good portion size and good choice of vegetables to go with dishes. Always very busy with a great atmosphere so book to get a table!

I can’t believe that we’ve lived in the Penrith area for years but only recently ‘discovered’ Grants. We’ve dined there twice in the last month or so and it is really excellent. Expect a warm, friendly welcome from the team who are helpful and knowledgeable. The menu is interesting and original, the wine selection is limited but good quality and terrific value. Most importantly the food is great. Last Saturday my wife had the cheese soufflé followed by the lamb and hotpot combination and both were fantastic. I had the tomato salad with gazpacho and then the best fillet steak I’ve had for a long time, served with a blue cheese rarebit topping. Original and beautiful. I couldn’t resist the fruit crumble and custard dessert, also first class. Great place.

We enjoyed our meal was very tasty. Nice pub with great atmosphere and friendly staff. We will be back when we are visiting the Lakes again.

We enjoyed a delicious meal at Lewis’s Bistro. Between us we had three different starters, mains and desserts, we enjoyed every dish. For myself, the 8hr slow cooked pork was divine! The staff were friendly and helpful. We will certainly visit again the next time we are in Grasmere.
