Reviews in Cumbria and Lake District

Very pleasant and welcoming atmosphere. Good choices on menu with slight variations catered for, e.g. chips for mash

Decent food, service and value for money. Wife had Sea Bass and really enjoyed. I had Steak Pie and only minor criticism was pastry a bit thick in the bottom corner, but really tasty. A bit disappointed that a Robinson's Pub had no hand-pulled ale on.

Excellant meal and service

I had an excellent meal here. All the food was perfectly cooked. I recommend having the cheese soufflé as a dessert after a sorbet.

Wow, wow, wow….. yet another amazing meal and evening at Lewis’s Bistro. I cannot praise this gorgeous restaurant enough. Their menu and food is absolutely stunning. Their staff are fabulous and go out of their way to ensure all your needs are catered for. An absolute must if you fined yourself staying in Grasmere. You cannot leave without trying for yourself.

Excellent meal as always,unfortunately for us we can’t resist the fish and chips. Each visit we try to resist but it is sooo good we don’t have the willpower. Staff are always friendly and attentive. Lovely place to break the journey to the lakes .

Absolutely fabulous food and service. A great atmosphere and extremely friendly service, plus generous platefuls at excellent prices. Our new go-to place in Carlisle.

Fabulous restaurant. Amazing atmosphere with delicious food. The staff are so knowledgeable and attentive. Most definitely one of my favourite places

Lovely meal, belly pork starter tastie and sea bass cooked beautiful will be back again soon. Steve and Elspeth

Been here lots of times one of our fav Italians food excellent served by very pleasant staff

Both myself and husband enjoyed our meals and can recommend both the Duck and Vegetarian wellington the food and service could not be faulted, was a little pricey but would pay that again for the quality and excellent service. Would have liked a bit more room between tables but looking at pictures on this site looks like they may have sqeezed a few extra in to not disappoint anyone. Would definitely go again when in the area

Friendly service, good food and reasonably priced - well done.

amazing food and atmosphere cant fault the service highly recommended

Delicious food and excellent service last night for our group of 8. Thank you. We will be back soon

What a little gem the Wheatsheef is. From the moment I walked in to when I left the staff were always polite and friendly. Evening meals were really nice and tasty and the bar was well stocked - what more could I ask for. The bedroom was clean and tidy and the bed very comfy. I loved the notice in the bedroom about the church bells, I didn't even notice them unless I tried!

We were staying at the Quiet Site and randomly wanted somewhere to eat on Saturday night- 11th October. Found the Horse and Farrier on line and the menu looked impressive. It certainly lived up to expectations. The pork belly and pineapple pudding were exceptional. Will recommend this eatery to my friends and family who are often visiting the north Lakes. Brilliant chef and lovely service. Thank you
