We arrived with no prior knowledge of the Pheasant Inn. It was a delightful evening. The staff are genuine and friendly, the atmosphere is that of a real pub and the food was off the scale! It was delicious. The fish pie was as good as I’ve tasted in many a year as was the goulash. We will become regulars if this is the norm. Well done indeed (I don’t do reviews normally).
Pheasant Inn – KeswickExcellent Sunday Lunch - sure more families would book if children’s portions were offered as full price for young kids is somewhat of a deterrent!
The Netherwood Hotel and Spa – Grange-over-SandsAnother lovely meal Staff are very friendly and helpful Will definitely return
Pheasant Inn – KeswickExcellent as always nothing too much trouble .
Grants Of Castlegate – PenrithWe had Sunday lunch on the late sitting. It was excellent; prompt service, fabulous food good beef and lovely fresh vegetables. Service was excellent too, even though they were very busy. Will be returning during this week. I appreciated also the option for a smaller roast, which was a good sized portion.
Pheasant Inn – KeswickExcellent Sunday lunch. The lamb was superb and its really good value.
Greyhound Inn Cotehill – CarlisleHad a meal on Sunday afternoon. The food was great as normal but the service was a bit off. Tables not cleared, drinks ordered but not delivered and several extra drinks put on the bill.
The Wheatsheaf at Beetham – MilnthorpeWe were a big group with several young children celebrating a birthday. We were warmly welcomed and the food was good. The children were catered for and their was space for them to entertain themselves. Service was food. Altogether a lovely evening.
The Music Room Restaurant at Augill Castle – Kirkby StephenWent for Sunday lunch and had booked the day before. However it was very busy and our table was tucked away by the side of the stairs and so was quite dark and cramped. However the staff and service was very good and the Sunday dinner couldn’t be faulted. Will certainly go again but not at that table. It wasn’t really suitable for anyone to eat their dinner.
The Wheatsheaf at Beetham – MilnthorpeA really lovely place to eat with an intimate and cosy feel. Really friendly staff and most importantly the food was exceptional and the service was quick. Great selection of drinks as well.
Lewis’s Bistro – GrasmereAnother great meal last night only thing was seated up stairs near the door and there was a cold draft coming up the stairs the staff sorted it got a bit cold and spoilt the night but will still re-book
La Mezzaluna – CarlisleThis place is amazing. The staff are always friendly and helpful, the atmosphere is so warm and welcoming. And as for the food we have never had a bad meal I would definitely recommend this place.
The Wheatsheaf at Beetham – MilnthorpeFood was fabulous with generous portions. Excellent sea bass and chicken. Lovely atmosphere.
Lewis’s Bistro – GrasmereUpon arrival, staff were very friendly and welcoming. We were quickly sat and offered teas and coffees. Our afternoon tea shortly followed which was lovely. Different to the norm - offering half a panini, prawn cocktail and a sausage roll each in replacement of sandwiches which was novel and delicious. Thank you!
The Music Room Restaurant at Augill Castle – Kirkby StephenAmazing and friendly service, decorated table for me for my daughters 30th food was amazing couldn't do enough for us. Will definitly be back and would highly recomend.
La Mezzaluna – CarlisleGood service, enjoyable food and a nice pint of Swan. If I had one observation, I would have appreciated some mashed potato with the Venison Stew. I had to leave some delicious gravy, it broke my heart !
The Wheatsheaf at Beetham – MilnthorpeWe had afternoon tea on Saturday, but whilst the food was good, the single member of staff was very busy both running the bar and serving food. It was disappointing to be sat at a small table at the back of the bar behind groups of people on the sofas eating bar food and having drinks. It was very loud in the room, not helped by being under the music speaker. We asked for the music to be turned down, but after an hour, it was turned back up which we took as a signal that we should leave. We won't be back.
