Reviews in Cumbria and Lake District

Great menu, and all meals were thoroughly enjoyed by our party of 8. Staff were very friendly, helpful and accommodating, and we were really pleased to be able to eat there twice in our short stay in Keswick. Excellent all round.

We had a fabulous meal at Lewis's I can't fault the food - it was superb, up there with one of the best meals I've ever had! The service was friendly and helpful too, all requests were met and more! I would not hesitate to recommend Lewis's.

So came in for dinner two nights in a row which I think kind of speaks for itself. Yes there are lots of pubs in town where you can go and get something to eat in the evening but I think The Pheasant just has a few more options on the menu that makes it stand out as a great traditional pub to visit. Oh and the beers on offer are decent too.

Had a lovely meal, great atmosphere, would have booked to go again if we were staying longer. Will definitely be back next time we visit Grasmere.

A really lovely meal in a lovely bistro with a great atmosphere and service. We will definitely be back.

Booked online, table for four, confirmed promptly by email. Lovely homely atmosphere. Log fire. Good selection of beers. No starters due to staff shortages, a common problem unfortunately. Order taken quickly and food arrived quicker than expected. Between us we tried the aged steak and the venison. Both beautifully cooked and presented. Chips were perfect. For dessert we had cheesecake, gooseberry & apple pie and lemon posset. All were delicious. Waiters very friendly and helpful. Only (minor) issue is that, although Wifi is advertised on notice outside as available, they wouldn't give us the password for some reason I couldn't quite understand. Certainly not a deal breaker but as mobile signal is almost non existent it might matter to some. All in all a very pleasant evening. On my list to do again.

Once again a perfect meal. Quality food, well presented and brilliant service. We always eat here as the standards are so high. See you next year and thanks again

Fabulous meal & great service yet again. Probably the best bistro in the north of England.

Absolutely brilliant food and friendly staff

The food was delicious, hot and well presented. Took a long time to take our order, staff seemed to be more interested in folding napkins and chatting together. Male staff on his first day was working his socks off.

Yet again we have had another lovely meal at Lewis’s. They never disappoint. We have visited Lewis’s many times over the years whenever we stay in Grasmere, this year we were staying in Windermere but still made the journey to Grasmere to specifically eat at Lewis’s. The food is always perfect and the staff are so lovely. It’s not the cheapest option, but it is 1000% worth the price and the quality is there. We have tried most things on the menu and everything is so delicious. We will be visiting again as this is our favourite place to eat in the Lake District

The Pheasant Inn is always our go to when we come back to Keswick for a few days away. It's just what we want in a pub at the end of a hard day on the fells. Great food and beers available and friendly staff who look after us well. The menu is just that bit more interesting than the other pubs in town and the quality is excellent. Yep it works for us and that's why we like to keep coming back.

Absolutely great evening meal. Makes a great change to have some perfectly cooked vegetables. Best food in Keswick.

This is one of the best food experiences I've ever had. The food was fabulous, the service was amazing, they allow dogs and the wine selection was top quality! Our table was the only let down. Instead of offering us a nice quiet table against the wall, we were offered the table near the front of the restaurant where everyone comes in, walks past and announces their reservation. Like a table on a busy lane. That said, I became so focused on the quality of good and service that I didn't mind as much as I thought. I'm not a fan of tables in the middle of a room like that. It's not peaceful. The staff were kind, perfectly timed and pleasant. 8d recommend this when anywhere near Grasmere. 4/5 only because of the table, otherwise 5/5!

Always good food and craft ales. Staff friendly and very efficient.

We had lunch at the Wheatsheath to celebrate my husband's birthday . We were not disappointed. We both had the fish and chips . They were beautifully cooked and presented. Although the pub was very busy the waitress was very attentive and the wait not too long. Our little dog Evie was welcomed . We will definitely return in the not too distant future.

enjoyed a pleasant 2 night b&b with a dinner included. breakfasts were good, the two course dinner included was very nice but left us hungry, some extra cost and fabulous puddings did the trick

Excellent service, quirky surroundings and the food was special. Definately worth a visit and we'll be back!
