Reviews in Cumbria and Lake District

A wonderful dining experience with flavours that will leave you wanting more

The Horse and Farrier was recommended to us by the receptionist at The Quiet Site, when asked for the best place locally to get Sunday roast. It did not disappoint, the food was delicious, and excellent value. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a fabulous meal.

I've been visiting the Pheasant for years, but this is the first time I've eaten here. The beef Sunday roast was the best I've ever had. From ordering, to being on my table was a short wait too which is always good. The service from the staff was just great.

Warm welcome staff nice and attentive Traditional pub decor plenty of space around tables

Absolutely delicious roast beef Sunday lunch. Very good vegetables Great atmosphere (by the fire) and good service as always

Fantastic atmosphere,georgeous food,the best carbonara in Carlisle 10/10 and as the only place serves pistachio ice cream

This is just one of the best places you could ever wish to dine at. Simple enjoyable food, perfectly presented. The owners are ever present, welcoming us as part of the "family". Our 10 year old, who is incredibly fussy, stuffed himself so full that he was uncomfortable on the journey home. A 65 mile round trip just for the meal was well worth it and we'll be back next week before a concert.

Three of us had a meal on Friday night, we all had different main meals and they we all enjoyed the food very much, lovely atmosphere and the staff were very friendly and polite. I would definitely go back.

Visited here on Saturday with a party of ten ladies food was lovely staff were fabulous and very helpful looking forward to visiting again

Absolutely spot on. Would recommend and will visit again

This was our first visit and unfortunately will not return. The young lady was run off her feet, trying to do 10 jobs at once but was very helpful and really tried her best to accommodate l. The chef that brought out the food was obnoxious and off hand. Food was very poor, cold and expensive for what we got. Will definitely not retum or recommend

The food and service were impeccable as ever. Sage and Vine, alongside its sister restaurant, La Mezzaluna, is the best place to eat in Carlisle.

Second time we've been to The Pheasant and I'm sure we'll be returning when we have a third short break in Keswick. A bit of a walk from the Camping and Caravan Club site by the lake, but well worth it. Thanks for a lovely evening.

Me & 3 friends ate dinner at the Pheasant Inn last night. My friends had never eaten there before. They were all very happy with the food, service & value for money. We can highly recommend the Lakeland Beef pie, Venison Bourguignon, Apple & Gooseberry crumble & Sticky Toffee pudding. We will definitely return! Thanks

Went with my husband for a birthday meal. I had the mushroom risotto and it didn’t disappoint. My husband had a roasted chicken breast in a white wine sauce with roasted veg and roasted potatoes he said he would recommend it as it was very well cooked and the flavours were perfect. The restaurant was quite busy but we didn’t feel rushed. Service was very good all staff friendly and welcoming.
