Reviews in Cumbria and Lake District

Very cosy ye old nooks and crannies place and staff were very friendly. Loved the fact that dogs were allowed. The food was lovely… we had Sunday lunch and there was 3 choices as well as veg options and it was plenty … however the beef and lamb was a little tough to cut but pleasant to eat and I know veg should be al dente but when you have falsies it’s a bit difficult when you bite into the tender stems!! Would definitely return however as would love to try the dishes through the week too

We have been many times and enjoyed it but yesterday it was really disappointing, food was really poor and service too.

As a frequent visitor to the area we often eat out and booked the Wheatsheaf for Sunday lunch I have just read previous reviews and saw that someone commented that they had a table in a corner next to the stairs, we had the same table. It was tucked away, dark and cramped also it was very cold! The food is always good, reasonably priced and has decent portions. The service is also good with efficient polite staff. I have marked the atmosphere down purely because of the table

Great food, great value. Good atmosphere in pub, nice hosts and helpful staff, but Saturday night was so busy and tables very tight together, combined with many people with dogs, made the experience quite fraught for the staff.

8 of us went to the pheasant after a long walk with the dog. The food was delicious and the portions generous, the staff were so friendly and attentive and we really couldn’t fault it! Would 100% recommend. We all had the steak pie and it was spot on!

We had a lovely meal at the Pheasant , great portion size, really tasty, fabulous atmosphere with good service .

Six of us had lunch here on 3rd March and it was absolutely amazing. The food was delicious and the staff weee friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend. In fact I have just booked again.

We had a great meal on our first visit to Lewis’s Bistro, and it definitely won’t be our last. The lady who was in charge was really friendly and accommodated us even though we had not booked till the day of our visit. We both had steak which was cooked to perfection. Great addition to Grasmere.

Love this place. They catered for an important family event following the loss of my father and, even though he had never been, the ambiance of the place makes him feel close. The building is fabulous, love the history. The food and service are second to none. My husband and I had a great meal - indeed we have never had a poor meal here and the service is top notch. Love it.

Went for lunch, seated straight away, served menus and drinks, within 5mins and ordered soon after....starters were delicious, good portions, and not too much! Main dish of pastas was fabulous, very tasty and had garlic bread as side, again good portion....couldn't leave any, but them completely full, so no room for pud! Lovely atmosphere, friendly, helpful staff and in, eaten and away again in less than an hour, but in no way rushed.....well done LaMezzaluna, will definitely come back!!

Another great meal last week. Thank you for your great service and relaxed atmosphere. The food was all delicious!

The food was really nice, staff really friendly and the value for money was fantastic. We had a booking for 9 people and all 9 of us enjoyed the food and all said they would go back the next time we were up in Keswick. Really nice atmosphere in the pub, all tables were busy and the staff were really friendly

Absolutely fantastic meal at the Pheasant during our trip to Keswick. 4 of us had the home made steak pie which was delicious and very generous portions and the other two had lamb Henry which they also thoroughly enjoyed. Brilliant atmosphere in the pub and service excellent.So glad I booked this venue only wish it was my local!

A friendly welcome was just the beginning to an excellent well organised and beautifully presented evening of high quality flavoursome food. Each dish carried a variety of good clean flavours, perfectly cooked and a little artistic flare.

We received a warm welcome by the staff, and the service was really attentive. The menu and food was just what we wanted (I went for the (cumberland sausage dish with all trimmings - excellent). Overall I would definitely come back after experiencing such a lovely evening (next time I am in Keswick)

Had spa and lunch with my friend, was really surprised how small the changing area in the spa was, totally inadequate for the number of clients that were there. Also not enough lockers and no private changing area's which could be a major issue for some people. The spa itself was fine though not a patch on others we have been to e.g.The Daffodil, The Swan etc. After the spa,we went for lunch and ordered soup and sandwiches. The waitress appeared to be rushed off her feet and it took 1hr 15mins for our food to arrive and even then my friends soup was forgotten. The sandwiches were fine but unfortunately the soup was dreadful, completely devoid of flavour, watery and powdery. It had clearly come from a packet. Overall the whole experience was underwhelming and not to be repeated.

Friendly welcome Food ok Average prices Didn’t know how to make a Liqueur coffee, served in a cup with liqueur in and cream in jug.
