Reviews in Cumbria and Lake District

Portion size was great, food value for money and be staff and owners where very friendly.

We visit keswick several times a year and regularly eat in the pheasant. Atmosphere, beer and food always first class. Book in advance because you will be lucky if you just turn up. Portions are very generous.

Amazing steak pie! They don't serve them often, apparently (the owners were well known for their pies when they used to run the Cross Keys pub in nearby Carleton), but they do occasioal Pie NIghts at Grants so it's worth looking out for them!

5 star

Fantastic food and service in lovely pub and location. Staff brilliant, building superb and bar very cosy after right good soaking during day. Request for quiet spot for our two dogs accommodated really well too. Chicken pie, beef and two nut-roast Sunday dinners. Thank you very much!

Very good Sunday Lunch, just like a “homemade meal” , thoroughly enjoyed it. Ambience a “bit basic “, however food was very good. We will definitely return again for both midweek meal or Sunday lunch again.

After a 2 hour walk in the rain we had a Sunday Roast here to look forward to. The roast beef was amazing, generous portions and delicious veggies. Friendly staff who let me sample the chocolatey stout before purchasing ( I recommend!!) Make sure you book ahead, it’s a popular place and we didn’t mind having a late lunch as early slots booked up. Excellent value, we’ll be back!!

Had a fantastic Sunday lunch with friends, food and wine excellent and staff very efficient and friendly. Party size increased fro 1 to 3 and then 5 people and the staff we're very accommodating. We all had a wonderful time.

Food was excellent, great portions, service was friendly and kept coming to us on regular basis, only thing we can say was time limit if we weren’t rushed we would of stayed longer but would go back and will recomend thank you all for a good night

Food was a 10/10 for all courses, lady running the bar was lovely and couldn’t do enough for us

Amazing restaurant with wonderful service!

Warm welcome on arrival, staff very attentive and friendly. Food was served quickly and was delicious despite how busy it was. Lovely atmosphere we will be back.

Food is delicious every time, access and car parking are easy, great experience

Friendly bar staff. Enjoyed a traditional rag pudding with tender meat and delicious gravy, mushy peas and chips. Had a pint of Cumbria Way, very tasty. Very dog friendly and Lily enjoyed the chips.

This was our first visit since the management change and we are very pleased to report that all is well - a good meal in the dining room and Louisa and Grace looked after us well. The pub looks as though it has also been smartened up a little and with an open fire, what's not to like

Easy to book online. Warm welcome on arrival. Food was delicious and staff were friendly and attentive

First time i have been it was recommended to me by friends and wow it was amazing! The waitress was so friendly and helpful and the food was unreal! The variety of breads was unreal. I lived the gammon and the baked feta. Can't wait to return. Thanks
