Reviews in Cumbria and Lake District

We arrived at the castle on a cold gloomy May afternoon and in no time we received a very warm welcome and were invited to sit infront of the roaring fire on very comfortable seating. In no time we were served tea and coffee followed quickly by our afternoon tea which was lovely consisting of Chilli puff , chicken and mozzarella wrap which were nice but not what we expected with an afternoon tea, the soup was hot and delicious and the scones and cakes were simply Devine, nicest scone I've ever had ! The setting and castle are out of this world even with snippets of historical information dotted around the lounge which was a nice touch. The staff were all very nice and genuine and friendly. We will be back and look forward to our next visit to this wonderful castle. Best wishes Max & Lesley

Another fab meal! Always so friendly and great atmosphere! See you again soon!

Alway amazing food and freindly service

I had the risotto de pesce and, unfortunately, got bad food poisoning from the fish. The garlic focaccia was delicious and the prices are reasonable but I was very sick after my visit, so I am unlikely to dine here again.

Lovely meal and excellent service.

Very disappointing to find that having ordered that there was no ham available for the ham and eggs main course.

A nice bistro, very friendly staff, relaxed atmosphere, good food and a good range of choices.

Lovely pizza's as always. Nice friendly staff

As always the food was top notch. The staff are always happy and helpful. Sometimes a little to helpful, when you don’t really want a desert but get talked into it. I have to say I’m pleased I was talked into it as the chocolate cheesecake was the best I’ve ever had. Don’t know how they make it so light. I would definitely recommend this little gem of a restaurant.

Lovely comfortable stay, very nice breakfast. Look forward to our next visit.

Lovely food fast service highly recommend

Enjoyed the food and atmosphere at this lovely place. The staff are so friendly and attentive too. We tried to book for another evening but it is so popular that we couldn't get in - the best evening meal that we had during our stay in Grasmere by far; highly recommended.

Brilliant afternoon tea, not classical but a lovely mix of savoury and sweet. The venue is such a lovely place and we felt very welcome. We loved everything about the tea and the afternoon.

Lovely to have a hot savoury in the afternoon tea. The food was delicious. The staff could be heard arguing in the kitchen during the course of the afternoon however this did not detract from the afternoon as we quite like to people watch and eavesdrop in on conversations.

The food was delicious and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was very relaxed and welcoming. We had a lovely evening

1st visit to Mezzaluna and was not disappointed, really enjoyed the meal, prices reasonable and felt really comfortable to sit in. Staff were friendly. Will definitely be back.

Can't fault it. Had Sunday lunch, the Jan and the veggy option. Both were really nice. Good portions. Lovely point to go with it. Staff were very friendly and efficient. Would recommend.
