The Wheatsheaf at Beetham – MilnthorpeFriendly staff, quality food at affordable prices and prompt service. This was our first visit and we are already planning our next one.
The Wheatsheaf at Beetham – MilnthorpeFabulous find. We booked last minute and can’t fault it in any way. Highly recommend the food and ambiance,
Lewis’s Bistro – Grasmere2nd time here. Atmosphere still good. But owner was not cooking and my sea bass was a totally different dish to when he was. Sauce poured over the fish making the skin soggy not crispy as it had been before. Supposed to be served with samphire but only a minute amount a teaspoonful. Other vegetables on the plate very soggy. Lobster sauce not very pleasant. So disappointed as had really been looking forward to the night based on our first visit. Also dead flowers in the window boxes not a good look.
Lewis’s Bistro – GrasmereLovely fish dish, and excellent cheeseboard (i had the blue, the smoked, and the brie). White wine was really good too
Lewis’s Bistro – GrasmereLovely atmosphere and really attentive staff. Nice choice of food and wine and I picked a great steak. Expertly cooked with great chunky chips. Fantastic and great value for money. When back in the area this will be on my list for a return visit.
Lewis’s Bistro – GrasmereDelicious food. Great service and atmosphere!
Lewis’s Bistro – GrasmereOur food was amazing, the staff were so friendly and polite. The only issue we had was a large group of people were that noisy, myself and husband couldn't here ourselves talk, neither could other guests. They were that loud I didn't realise there was music playing. We would have ordered dessert but it was way to loud. I understand people come out to have a good time and a laugh. But they were that loud it was unbearable to stay.
La Mezzaluna – CarlisleExcellent meal yesterday evening. Good service, tasty food and pleasant surroundings. Food portions not too excessive either so left feeling full with empty plates.

Pheasant Inn – KeswickHad an amazing meal here...Stopped in a highly rated hotel for a few nights in Grasmere and decided to try somewhere different to eat on our last night, wish we had found it sooner!! The whole experience was brilliant and far superior to the food in our 5 star hotel. Will definitely be returning and more than happy to give this 5 stars.
Lewis’s Bistro – GrasmereHad a great meal. The food was lovely and the staff were very attentive
Pheasant Inn – KeswickAn excellent afternoon tea, thoroughly enjoyed by my wife and I. Lovely savouries and delightful cakes, scones and lots of jam and crram. All served by great staff in a wonderful setting. Highly recommended.
The Music Room Restaurant at Augill Castle – Kirkby StephenThe 4 girls that were working when we visited on Monday 11th June were literally running everywhere to try and keep up with the orders! They were amazing under very stressful circumstances. There were irate customers complaining about not being able to order food and in all honesty I think the management need to take a long hard look at themselves rather than leave the youngsters to try and front the complaints. There didn’t seem to be any senior management around! The food was excellent when it arrived, but the young staff deserve better support!
Pheasant Inn – KeswickFood good. Service poor. Three overworked servers struggled to cope with the numbers of diners. Long waits at every stage of the meal Pity - as the food was of good standard and well presented.
Pheasant Inn – KeswickThe food was lovely tasty and nicely presented The staff were lovely
