Reviews in Cumbria and Lake District

4 of us dined and everyone of us thoroughly enjoyed our meal. My brother who is notoriously critical passed his compliments on to the chef for the best chicken dish he has eaten.

Traditional homely pub which has long served wholesome pub favourites. There aren’t enough of these around now! Portions are generous and all meals home cooked, not overly fancy just good quality tasty food at reasonable prices. Staff are friendly and dogs are very welcome.

Grasmere's hidden gem , wonderful food , good value , nice wines .. don't tell everyone or we won't be able to book next time .. but it's a rare treat ..you won't be disappointed...

Came here for a date night for my boyfriend’s birthday and we had an amazing night, incredible service, amazing food and 10/10 overall from the both of us! :)

We love to eat here when we visit Keswick. It’s a cosy pub with very friendly and accommodating staff. The menu is much more interesting than most pubs and the food is a reasonable price. We visited on a Sunday: I had Lamb Henry and it was delicious but the Sunday roast also looked amazing and a neighbouring customer said she had thoroughly enjoyed it. We will be back.

Great food and atmosphere. Lovely old pub in a great setting. Short walk from the centre of Keswick

Very pleasant pub and very busy and though booked in at 5.30 didn't get our meal til 6 35....food very good but mine was not hot enough but did not mention at time as was too hungry to wait

Visited Sunday 5th Oct 2025, for lunch. Busy. Food superbly cooked, portions were generous.

The pheasant inn is a long established pub in Keswick with a good reputation, very busy at times, but a plea to the serving staff please give people a chance to sit down and enjoy a drink before being harassed for your order. It would also be beneficial if you comment on the meal or the price that staff accept your comments and don’t come up with counter comments to suggest that you were wrong in your views.

Wow, not only was everything first class and tasty, when leaving we struggled to get a taxi and the weather was garbage , the manager offered us a lift back to campsite, that’s what I call going that extra mile!!!

We've never been before. We booked prior to our holiday and we were not disappointed. The food was outstanding, the service was good. Even on a busy night the staff still had time to check if everything was OK with our meal. They even had a doggy menu.

Great pub! Fantastic food, excellent service and a cosy traditional atmosphere. To be recommended.

Amazing food! The Sunday roasts are delicious and so are the desserts. Great selection of local ales.

First time here on Saturday fab place fab service fab food just go for yourself and see how right I am

Lovely meals and wine selections. Both the red bream and the pork were excellent. Very enjoyable and highly recommended.

We eat her often and the food and service are faultless if you have never eaten here before give it a try you will not be disappointed and you will be hooked the house wine goes down a treat very nice friendly staff and the chefs are highly praised they get full marks from me and my friends

Amazing as always

One of our favourite places to eat in Penrith. Friendly, efficient service coupled with delicious food and a well balanced yet not overly busy menu makes for a fantastic dining experience. We like to try and eat here at least once a month. At this visit I had the Soufflé to start which is divine, followed by the mushroom cobbler. This was a random choice by me and it was bloody lovely! The carrots were cooked to perfection and were very tasty.
