Lunch at the Wheatsheaf was more than just pub grub. The food tasted fresh and the portions were generous. The staff were friendly and service was prompt. As someone who hates background music, its absence was very welcome in the spacious dining area.
The Wheatsheaf at Beetham – MilnthorpeWonderful country pub with superb selection of dishes including vegan options Great wine selection by the glass Excellent value
The Wheatsheaf at Beetham – MilnthorpeThe Wheatsheaf went above & beyond the call of duty when we arrived half an hour late for our booking meaning they had stopped food service. (We could get no phone signal to inform them) The staff were very kind & still provided us with an excellent meal. Full marks to all the staff. Brilliant.
The Wheatsheaf at Beetham – MilnthorpeOur first time back in since the rebrand, everything is still excellent. Service is always wonderful and all the food is exceptional. A meal at Plant is the highlight of our day, we had a wonderful time celebrating our anniversary and will be back as often as we can!
Plant by Kat’s Kitchen – KeswickWe had a lovely meal at this restaurant. You really need to book your table well in advance - if you do it will be worth it !
Lewis’s Bistro – GrasmereWe booked for 4 adults, 1 teen, and 1 child on a Saturday lunch time. It is a central location as we are spread about and I looked the look of the online site and reviews so I booked. We arrived early (around 20 minutes) as traffic was light but this was not a problem for the Wheatsheaf, we were greeted with a warm welcome and given seats at our table. The building itself is quirky, old, peppered with curios and antiques and very tastefully decorated. The staff were very attentive but discrete, always available to assist but not interrupting the conversation. There are also call buttons on every table (even outside) should you require assistance but not be able to see anyone. The menu was interesting with every taste catered for, seafood, chicken, beef, veg and vegan all had options. A good selection of seasonal local produce had clearly been sourced to tempt diners. We had a variety of the choices between us, from Morecambe Bay shrimp to halloumi portions for starters, Philly steak, burger and fish for main courses. There wasn't a single thing wrong with any of the food or service. We were in the area for a special occasion and the venue and meal were prefect for the day.
The Wheatsheaf at Beetham – MilnthorpeFood and service really good,as always. Good value for money. Will be back!
La Mezzaluna – CarlisleReliably good food and interesting menu. Beer good - particularly the Pheasant Bitter New online booking is a doddle.
Pheasant Inn – KeswickLovely food as always in this beautiful historic building . Would highly recommend
The Wheatsheaf at Beetham – MilnthorpeA lovely two night stay at Netherwood Hotel and Spa. Evening meals were excellent, Goats cheese ravioli starter, although a small portion very enjoyable. Main course of chicken was delicious and very succulent. My husband had the lamb also very tender. Staff were friendly and the service was good, went out of their way to help. Buffet breakfast was good, although a little disappointed that the cooked part of the breakfast was buffet too and not served to the table, so not as hot as it could be but nicely cooked. We enjoyed the Spa too. Definitely will be returning.
The Netherwood Hotel and Spa – Grange-over-SandsFrom the moment we arrived (early), we couldn't have been made more welcome. Everyone was so friendly. The surroundings were lovely, the food was gorgeous. Everything was so relaxed
The Music Room Restaurant at Augill Castle – Kirkby StephenWe lunched at The Netherwood and enjoyed the beautiful vista over the bay in beautiful 19th century decor. The lunch was gorgeous , made with care and quality ingredients. We will definitely be back when we are in this part of the Lake District.
The Netherwood Hotel and Spa – Grange-over-SandsMy husband and I visited yesterday and had a lovely meal. Staff were really welcoming, pleasant and efficient throughout. We each chose something different. I had starter of deep fried Camembert as a main and gooseberry crumble and my husband had venison and same pud. All absolutely delicious, nicely presented and ample portions. Defo will return.
Pheasant Inn – KeswickAmazing food, lovely little resteraunt. It's a must visit in grasmere!
Lewis’s Bistro – GrasmereGreat food and atmosphere and they were dog friendly. Def be back on next holiday thank you
Lewis’s Bistro – GrasmereTo say I had an incredible experience would be an understatement, the food was absolutely stunning, and the service staff, both those who were directly serving us and those who were working in general made the whole experience exemplary. In fact we enjoyed our time there so much, with the short wait times and constant feeling oif being welcome, that we came back for an early dinner the following day, and picking something completely different off the menu I can confirm that our first outstanding meal there was no exception. Fantastic Food, Fantastic Environment, and absolutely Fantastic Staff. Thankyou very much!
La Mezzaluna – Carlislethe food was well presented. we had the Sunday roast. only critical point was the amount of meat ,,,, one very large slice. We added a shared pigs in blankets and some cauliflower cheese between the four of us..... Dogs were very welcome and the staff were excellent. Not cheap but good value for money...
The Wheatsheaf at Beetham – MilnthorpeThe Pub was very busy when we arrived, the staff apologised for any wait we may have as they were short staffed. But the two young ladies that served us were lovely and friendly, food was as amazing as always. Our favourite place to eat in Keswick.
