Reviews in Cumbria and Lake District

Our stay in Grasmere included a meal out,every night.Lewis`s was superb and not expensive for the quality of food we had.The Restaurant was lively,but not full,but the Staff were very good and were good for a laugh!Itwas nice to have a short walk to and from our Hotel,other places needed a bus/car trip.Definitely the best place to eat in Grasmere,in our opinion.Highly recommended.

Delicious food and a lovely, relaxed atmosphere. Faultless service. Perfect.

Good food, good service. Highly recommended. A bit noisy when we went, but it was a Saturday early evening, so a few parties were dining before hitting the town. Can't fault the food or the service. We'll be back soon.

It just gets better every time we go

Best vegan restaurant we’ve ever been to. Everything about it is wonderful. We will definitely return when we can and I would recommend it to anyone, vegan or not.

Fantastic value really good food my favourite restaurant in Carlisle now we have only lived here a few months but so pleased we found this restaurant

Had a meal on Friday night. I had the salt and pepper prawns, which were absolutely amazing, I would go so far to say best prawn starter I ever had. Then the vegetarian curry, which was good but didn't blow me away, hubby had scallops for starters which he said was good and the pork belly which he said was superb. Would highly recommend this place.

It’s so good to be able to go to a vegan restaurant without worrying about what you eating. Excellent food amongst kindred spirit. Very nice

Excellent Sunday lunch and service. Its been a favourite of ours for many years. X

Visited Saturday 17/9/22 Like many places in Keswick the Pheasant are seriously understaffed, we have eaten there many times but our latest visit fell short of there usual high standards, I hope they are able to remedy there problems soon, before it has an irreversible effect on trade

Went last night for the second time. Great atmosphere. Great service. Great food . Great wine . Great night . Thanks

We've been coming to The Pheasant for 4 years on our trips to the Lakes. It's great food, lovely little pub and well worth a visit - book ahead and you'll be rewarded with a great menu and some superb food. Every time we visit Keswick we will eat there at least a couple of times.

Fantastic Sunday lunch in a traditional pub.

Great choice for local fare with the locals. This inn is just outside of the main tourist area of Keswick. We stayed at the fantastic Allerdale House on Eskin Street which would have been a 20 minute walk. We drove as on street parking is more than ample. My wife had the beef tips stew special with veg. I had the 21 day dry aged ribeye steak. Both the stew and the steak were cooked and flavored to perfection. This is an old inn and while they can accommodate a good number of people space is tight and reservations are a must. The menu is very diverse and there is something for everyone. The staff is friendly and the service is attentive without being over bearing. Save room for one of their incredible desserts

We come to the Lake District every April and September. Always have a meal at Lewis’s. Without fail. The food is superb service excellent. Would recommend anyone to try it out.

Had to book but well worth the wait. Lovely food and friendly, efficient staff. So nice to have some decent choices as a vegetarian instead of the usual standard offerings

What a gem! Lovely food, cooked by an excellent chef. The menu is varied and staff are very friendly. Can’t fault it.

We visited The Greyhound during a short stay in Cotehill. We found a really friendly and welcoming atmosphere. The pub is dog friendly and when we arrived we were shown to a corner table as we asked to enable our Spaniel to lay quietly. The menu was typical Country Pub fare but pleasingly extensive with a good variety of meals to choose from. We would have no hesitation in returning.
