As always going to the Pheashant is a pleasure I went with Family up from Leicester and all 4 of us have a great meal lamb henry {fabulous] Fish pie Duck Gammon steak All for of us enjoyed

We both loved the meal been before.Service was quick and it was busy.

Had a superb meal at Grants. We couldn’t fault anything. The staff are fantastic, really attentive without being overbearing. Great menu choice with enough in it to cater for everyone’s taste. I would recommend this place to anyone local and also visitors to the area.

Very pleasant evening , service excellent, food very tasty ,

An enjoyable meal at the end of our holiday. Friendly service. Menu was interesting and generally very good. We just felt the main meal was a little bit too complicated (one of the fish specials) sometimes less , in variety of tastes, can be more. However would happily return.

Amazing large group food came out really hot and fast great service great food highly recommend

As part of our day, travelling from Crewe to Carlisle by the steam train Blue Peter, we booked for lunch at Sage and Vine. It is diffiuclt to fault the food, service and value for money. Every single tapas plate was delicious with the crowning glory being the chargrilled pineapple with coconut icecream. Service was very friendly and enthusiastic at all times. As it was a mid week lunchtime, the restaurant was not full but with carefully chosen music the atmosphere was fine. Highly, highly recommended.

Delicious food and attentive service. Generous portion of vegetables served with fish. Would highly recommend.

Das Restaurant ist hervorragend mit tollem Essen und liebenswertem Personal,!

Love going here for a lunch with my partner. Lovely staff and service. The food is amazing and definitely worth a visit

Oh dear. I am so sorry to do this but the evening we went was awful. Let's be clear, the young girl who served us was lovely and personable. It would seem that, sadly, there had been a funeral party previously and so we were waiting for some time before anyone acknowledged us when we arrived. We both ordered the curry and, sorry to say, it's the worst I have ever had - so thin and watery, it was like soup. My partner then ordered another tonic water, which never materialised. We didn't say anything at the time as we discovered the young girl was on her own and did her best to be friendly. Really sorry as we do like to support small local businesses, but based on our visit, sadly cannot recommend

Lovely lunch, good portions and friendly and efficient service.

Perfect location I had fillet steak and it was delicious Staff were very attentive and friendly Would definitely recommend

Excellent as always! Food tasty and plentiful. Good atmosphere. Staff friendly. Even our dog had a good time with plenty of doggie treats! Would recommend.

Fabulous food and amazing service. Everything was very tasty and beautifully presented. I would highly recommend.

It was our 3rd visit and this is our go to restaurant in Carlisle. Lovely location, friendly staff and amazing food. We're just waiting to come without the car to sample the cocktails

A perfect meal to end a great week in Grasmere. We booked a couple of weeks in advance and were not disappointed! Easy to walk to if you are staying in Grasmere, or there is a great bus service too that stops near the bistro. The food was amazing with lots of gluten free options. Even though, I was full, having read a previous review I had the cheesecake, it was indeed delicious. The service was faultless, attentive but not overbearing and just the right amount of time between courses. A must visit if you are in Grasmere but remember to book.

Lovely meal with friends. The cocktails are so good! Can't wait to go back.
