Reviews in Cumbria and Lake District

Had another lovely meal here. The servers were so lovely & attentive, really made it.

First time we have been to Grants , it was great, food was fabulous, lovely atmosphere. We'll definitely be back

We had a really friendly welcome and the wines by the glass were exceptionally good. My wife had olives and bread to start an absolutely massive portion! I had the scallops which were absolutely delicious, perfectly cooked with as really amazing depth of flavour in the sauce. From there it went downhill, my wife had the prawns as a main - a small portion served in a couple of lettuce leaves with sweet chilli sauce which did not taste homemade, I had the lamb chops , they had far too much fat on which was not properly rendered and not very tender. The accompanying gereen beans were tough and the turned carrots did not cross the boundary between under cooked and al dente The ‘buttery’ Chateau potatoes ‘was a single pale offering not cooked through and showing no t an inkling of a crisp golden buttery coat. if a menu specified ‘Chateau potatoes’ that is what should be on the plate.The red wine and mint jus was slimy and unpleasant. I commented to the charming waitress that the dish was not how I would have cooked or presented it, so I’m somewhat surprised to be asked for a review ! We did not attempt the deserts,

Fantastic food. Cooked to perfection. Friendly and attentive service.

Lovely surroundings. Absolutely fantastic food and friendly staff. Shame the other table accepted my boys birthday cake when taken to them by accident. Didn’t spoil our meal though. Management and staff couldn’t have been nicer.

I wish we'd eaten at The Pheasant on the first night of our 3-night stay near Keswick because I would have eaten here on every night had I known how good their food is! It was very easy to make an online booking for our party of 4. Three of us had the venison bourguignon, which was superb, and the fourth loved the fish pie. There were plenty of vegetables too - can't stand places that only give you half a carrot and 1 broccoli floret but The Pheasant doesn't make that mistake. I couldn't manage a dessert but my friends assured me the crumble, which came with extra custard when requested, was delicious. No grumbles with customer service, which was good. We will certainly be back next time we're holidaying nearby.

So when arriving we had to walk over to the area near the restaurant as no one greeted us at the door. We were shown to our table and waited 25 minutes before going over to ask if we could order food and drinks as we were forgotten about. However the food was very nice. After finishing we asked for the bill 3 times before we finally got it. Shame about the service but top marks for the food

As we stayed around the corner for a weekend away on my daughters 21st birthday I booked in advance as it was also bonfire night and spoke to a lovely lady. We arrived on time with a great table with a view of the street. The staff were so polite and couldn’t do enough for us and the food was excellent recommend for service and food.

Fantastic food particularly the Thai menu. Great service and decent value for money

Excellent food and service. Great menu. Huge home cooked portions! Friendly and quick service. Best meal I've had in a long time! We went twice.

Amazing Food last night very tasty, Great atmosphere. The ladies who were working were very attentive nothing was no trouble, we will definitely be returning.

Worked out last night we have been coming here for at least 18 years and not had a bed meal yet. Food is lovely , whole family enjoys it. Good size portions and lovely deserts. Was daughters 13th birthday and they brought out her fester with candles in it and sang happy birthday to her. Will be back again soon.

What a fantastic stay and the food was superb

Booked online and despite being early my wife and I were shown to our reserved table. Like a lot of restaurants there are staff shortages which showed as after 20 mins we were still waiting for our drinks order to be taken! 20 mins later we managed to order our meal but unfortunately the order was mislaid so we were back to square one. The staff were very apologetic and when our food eventually arrived it was lovely. Our drinks bill was taken off our final total and again the staff were very apologetic. The bar and restaurant were very busy which begs the question why take so many bookings if you haven't got the staff to handle that number? Meal was excellent.

Excellent food and customer service

We have eaten here twice recently, once for Sunday Lunch, once for an evening meal. Both times the food and experience were excellent. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

Enjoyed a superb meal on Saturday with family visiting from Yorkshire . You are becoming our favourite place to bring visitors, food excellent and made to feel so welcome. Staff and atmosphere are both excellent, we will be back.

Great cafe that is open for dinner too (check times). Very nice, friendly atmosphere. Central. Definitely worth a visit
