Reviews in Cumbria and Lake District

Had a wonderful meal in this atmospheric pub which was full on a Thursday evening; always a good sign. Great menu. The Tempura Prawns and Chicken Pie were fabulous. The staff are exceptional and so friendly. We’ll stocked bar with good wines by the glass. Excellent selection of Rum! Food was also extremely good value. Would definitely recommend and revisit when the opportunity arises.

Friendly welcome and pleasant atmosphere. Service was quick and efficient. Food was lovely. Will be returning.

I was a little surprised that it appears impossible to book over the telephone as a recorded message requests you to book on-line. This was easy enough but means you cannot discuss anything you might wish to prior to booking. We found the welcome and service very friendly and efficient. Our meals were well cooked with good ingredients and generous portions. We thought they were a little expensive but in line with other eateries in Grasmere. Our only disappointment is that the restaurant is an unbroken rectangular shape with no private or intimate dining spaces and in fact the tables are tightly packed in together and we felt uncomfortable close to other diners.

We returned to the Wheatsheaf after twenty five years to find it had been tastefully updated and were thrilled that it had lost none of its ambience in the process. The room was fine, clean tidy, comfy bed, meals were excellent from an interesting selection, breakfast superb and staff courteous and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. We shall defintely return again.

Excellent meal and service.

We had a lovely meal at Lewis’s Bistro. The French Onion soup was delicious and one of the best I’ve tasted . We had the Cumbrian pork , which was excellent but spoiled with the amount of mashed potato. It was far too much . We also noticed that quite a few diners left some of their meal. I’m sure this was only due to the portions being far too big. The staff here are excellent . Really friendly, courteous and professional. Would definitely return when we are next in the Lake District.

We have been here a few times when visiting Keswick. Lovely pub, lovely grub. Wife had the Lamb Henry and I had the steak pie. Both delicious. Pudding was lovely too with lashings of custard. Bonus for us is we can take the dog. Would definitely recommend and we will be back again next time we're in Keswick.

We had an evening meal here on Friday 27th May. There were 3 of us including my Dad who has mobility issues. We told the Hotel about this in advance and they put us on a nice table just to the left of the entrance door which had plenty of space around it. . The staff were very friendly and helpful. I had the veggie option, my wife had the salmon and my dad had the pork ribs. All very well presented and nice and hot. All the food was delicious. The pub was lively and had a good atmosphere, there were some customers with dogs but this not interfere with anything as they were all well behaved. Overall we had a very enjoyable evening.

We had a lovely meal as always and great that as a couple of us had coeliac disease we were well catered for, always friendly staff.

Great service , Great food . Hard to beat .My favourite place to eat in Carlisle

Had lunch on Saturday, the portions were excellent, service great and very reasonable prices. We will be back. Thank you.

We had a fantastic meal. The sea bass with scallops was amazing followed by the 5 cheese, cheese board to share. The service was fantastic and couldn't faulted.

Understated style. Great friendly staff. Responsive service.

Great food and service. Polite staff who looked after us very well. Nice atmosphere. Very good value for money. Would certainly go back.

Booked online for before going to the cinema. Friendly staff and relaxing atmosphere. Plenty of choices on the menu and food coming out smelled amazing and tasted just as good.

Excellent bistro. We were there on Tuesday and Wednesday 24/25 May 2022. All the staff are lovely and friendly. The food is amazing. I had the Halibut on one night and then the fillet steak the following night. Just gorgeous. Couldn’t fault it. Well done Lewis.

Eat there 2 nights in a row as it was not worth looking for any place better for the 2nd night and was not disappointed. The food is good value from a wide selection. The staff were friendly and helpful showing a genuine interest in what we were doing. (Walking Hadrians Wall).
