Avoid avoid! Must be under new ownership. Sunday lunch was inedible. Awful service Cold restaurant Insufficient staffing This place won’t survive!

Adriano's always delivers excellent service, first class food and an upbeat atmosphere.

Booked through the website, was very impressed, confirmation came through almost straight away. Plus a reminder the day before. Booked happy hour, the place has a vibrant atmosphere. Food was excellent, had garlic bread and the olives and languini.

Fantastic food and staff friendly and cozy atmosphere , coming back on Tuesday

We had a lovely meal on Thursday evening in Adriano's . Food was beautiful well worth a visit if you are in town or visiting Carlisle. Staff were so friendlly and welcoming

Wonderful food and good service. We were overcharged on the bill but this was rectified straight away once we pointed it out. Will definitely be back.

Excellent meal at Lewis's Bistro, at atmosphere was lovely and the staff were very friendly

Outstanding food and service I will return with my partner and family.

Love this place. We come to Penrith just to come for a meal hear. Service is always amazing, food is phenomenal. 5*

Booked late afternoon online for a table the same evening. Lovely food, great staff, really enjoyed our evening. Would definitely return the next time we are in Grasmere

Fabulous evening as always-great service from Josh and delicious food!

Liked it good food

An amazing restaurant, we enjoyed delicious tapas. Service was excellent and a great atmosphere on a Saturday afternoon.

We enjoyed an evening meal at Grants of Castlegate on the first night of a two night stay in Penrith. It's in a rather un-prepossessing street in Penrith, but once you go in, you are treated to a wonderfully warm welcome from Front of House, Mike - and then you can enjoy the excellent ambiance in the restaurant, as well as their delicious food, service and generally wonderful dining experience! We were just knocked out! We both enjoyed the fillet steaks and because we don't eat carbs in any shape or form, we were given some extra green vegetables to enjoy. I had the prawn and chorizo starter, and my husband enjoyed the twice baked cheese souffle with creamed leeks, both of which to die for. Obviously no sugary dessert, so we enjoyed a plate each of local cheeses - 4 cheeses I think, 3 of which were from Appleby and absolutely delicious - so much so that I went into the local deli the next day and bought some more to take home with us! A wonderful memorable meal. Many thanks to Stephen, the Chef Patron and front of house Mike!

Lovely little restaurant, great vibe, really lovely staff and great food! Service was attentive and quick too. Will definitely be back!

We came for a family meal to celebrate a birthday whilst we are staying at the haven holiday site down the road. All of the meals were piping hot and very good portion size, especially the children’s meal. We also had the apple crumble which was incredible, best we’ve ever had. Highly recommend the hope and anchor. We thought it was reasonably priced too.

We had a fabulous meal here last night on the 1st night of our holiday . The food was beautiful and the service was excellent. Small intimate little restaurant which would be great for any special occasion.

Excellent all round meet and greet very polite, table clean, food superb, definitely will be returning.
