Reviews in Cumbria and Lake District

Finally got booked in missed out last visit Service and food very good not disappointed at all.

Brilliant place for date night. The food was amazing, the staff were excellent and the atmosphere was really pleasant. Had the lamb and the duck and both were cooked to perfection. Dessert was also great. Honestly a great place. Thank you!

5 of us ate I the evening and all enjoyed our meal, good portions went down well after a day walking. Very busy and restaurant space is tight you need to book. Vegetables and side orders were lovely. Helpful staff.

Good location - close to the city's main bars. Booked table online without any issues. Food was lovely, service was great and prices were very reasonable. Would definitely recommend.

Excellent

Absolutely excellent food. The fish was beautifully cooked and the beef - amazing! Such great value for money and not only a good beer list but a good wine list too. Great to see families, couples and groups in here with great service too.

Warm, friendly and very professional staff, lovely atmosphere, great beers and wines and, of course, a superb choice of fabulous food. First class service all round.

We have eaten here three times in the last few weeks. Each time we have had excellent food, very well prepared and beautifully served, by attentive and sharp staff. We will become regulars in due course, because for us, the standard of food and service cannot be beaten in this area. I have no hesitation recommending Grants for delicious food that will go down well.

Lovely food, lovely atmosphere, lovely staff. This little bistro never disappoints.

Despite the pub's rather shabby appearance and slightly crammed together seating, we were delighted with the food. All four of us chose the fish pie - really tasty, lots of fish, with a good selection of perfectly cooked vegetables. Although very busy, we didn't have a long wait for our meals, and the waitress was very friendly and helpful. We would definitely return to The Pheasant.

My family and I visited the pub for the first time last year, I had the venison bourgignon. It came with seasonal vegetables and I chose the double cooked chips. It was, hands down, the best restaurant food I had ever tasted. So, you can imagine my surprise and ultimate elation when I returned to the pub with my family again to find that the venison was still on the menu! My family also thoroughly enjoyed their meals too. I was so pleased to find that the food still tasted just as it had the first time I had it, and although the staff had changed, the new staff were just as friendly and their service was first class. I really must take my hat off to the chef. The best restaurant food I have eaten. (Again!) I would thoroughly recommend eating there to anyone. Well done.

Definitely recommend food was excellent service and atmosphere was good will definitely be back when we are in grasmere had a wonderful evening thank you

Great food, and excellent service. The perfect venue for a pre-cinema meal. Will definitely be back.

We had a wonderful time at Augill castle when we went to afternoon tea. There were 10 in our party and the staff were very accommodating, supplying extra tea and coffee and really helpful with dietary requirements even preparing alternative food due to tomato allergy. The staff were extremely friendly and they helped to make our visit memorable. The surroundings were superb and the grounds delightful. We will definitely be returning next year. (This is our third visit)

Ok for a local pub, the service was friendly and the food was ok. Don't order the pizzas on the kids meal, its more like cheese on toast but not with proper cheese. The portion sizes are generous, the ketchup satchets were not! The veg accompanying the pies were not cooked properly, they were very hard and not tasty. The decor in general was a bit tired and dated. No old school pub charm, just in need of a lick of paint.

Wanted a good quality, not too large, meal with a nice bottle of wine. Grants hit the bullseye. Good value for money and attentive service.

Yet another lovely afternoon tea at Augill. Always love going there. It's like being welcomed into a friend's home. The staff are all lovely and attentive and the food delicious. There's always something different on the afternoon tea from interesting savouries to a range of mouthwayering desserts. It's dog friendly too which makes it more of a reason to keep going back

Great food, friendly service. Seven of us for Sunday lunch and everything was spot on.
