We had a fantastic family meal on Sunday evening to celebrate being together before our daughter leaves for Canada for a year. The food was excellent with plenty of variety. Service was superb as always. Special note was the wood pudge on starter and duck breast main. Steak was melt in the mouth. Desserts were also outstanding.
Grants Of Castlegate – PenrithGreat meal Prompt friendly service in an informal Bistro setting Thoroughly recommend
Lewis’s Bistro – GrasmereThe food was brilliant- almost too good for the venue! From the outside the place looks a bit shabby; scruffy looking beer garden, bad music pumping out…etc and inside was a bit cramped, tables a bit sticky, more bad music, tired toilets… etc so our expectations were low for the meal. However, the Sunday roast was one of the best I’ve had; meat cooked perfectly, great veg, superbly presented; all delicious and the puddings were incredible too! The venue just needs to up its game to match the quality and standard of the meals.
Pheasant Inn – KeswickThis was gorgeous food, we had the chicken and the steak and it was one of the best meals I’ve ever had. It was beautifully seasoned, great portions and delicious. Highly recommend
Grants Of Castlegate – PenrithThe food was great but it took a long time to come and two couples who arrived after us received their food first . I don’t mind that but I think it would have been courteous to let us know that our meal would take longer to prepare . We were informed of this when the meal finally arrived but that was too late .
The Netherwood Hotel and Spa – Grange-over-SandsFood unreal. Service Fantastic. I recently moved here from Teesside and the only thing I miss is the perfect roast! This place offers the Perfect roast. The lovely young girl serving was credit to you. Up selling extras and doing regular check backs. I think she was from Liverpool. The place itself is quaint and quirky and everybody at work looked to be having fun. We did order a desert but didn’t receive it because we had to leave nothing at all to do with timings etc we just had a call and had to leave. Will definitely be back every Sunday and may even stay the Sunday night with the promotional offer you have displayed. Thank you for a lovely meal xxxx
The Wheatsheaf at Beetham – MilnthorpeLovely food as always. Very friendly staff. Was lovely to be recognised, even though we only go around 3 times a year. Will keep going back as I can't fault it. A little gem.
La Mezzaluna – CarlisleFantastic first time being here☆☆☆☆☆ Staff very polite and instant services Smiles and great atmosphere
La Mezzaluna – CarlisleExcellent food, Great atmosphere
Lewis’s Bistro – GrasmereFirst time at Grant’s and we enjoyed it very much. Plenty of choice on the menu, and the dishes we chose were imaginative, well cooked and nicely presented. Having said that, we found the starters a bit small for the price charged. Main courses were better in that respect. The atmosphere in the downstairs area was a bit lacking, and we would probably opt to sit upstairs next time.
Grants Of Castlegate – PenrithHad a lovely lunch here during a day trip to Carlisle. We had booked ahead, and were glad we did as the place was busy! This is clearly popular with the locals. The food was amazing - we had the risotto pollo and fusilli calabrese. We also shared a dessert. Wow. Gorgeous!! We will certainly return here - and bring friends who share our love of good food. Staff were friendly and fun. Service was quick but not rushed.
La Mezzaluna – CarlisleFirst visit to the restaurant, we liked the menu choices so booked . Lovely ambience, great service & the food was excellent. Definitely recommend.

Lewis’s Bistro – GrasmereWe had a lovely dinner after a long day in the fells. The service was great, the food was excellent and plenty, couldn’t have asked for more.
Grants Of Castlegate – PenrithDespite being very busy the staff were polite and friendly. We were served courteously and in a reasonable space of time. The food was nice & the atmosphere very friendly.
Pheasant Inn – KeswickThis was our third time dining at Lewis’s and was as good as it has been in the past. I had scallops and lamb chops, husband had the creamy mushrooms and the chicken pea curry. Our children ordered the arrabiatta pasta from the childrens menu. I know arrabiatta sauce is spicy but I thought it would be toned down for the childrens menu. Unfortunately not. However, the staff were wonderful with overtired (after a busy day) youngest son and offered him a replacement dish. Great value for money, the dishes are very substantial. We’re back in Grasmere in a couple of weeks so I’m sure we will be visiting the Bistro again.
