Reviews in Cumbria and Lake District

Friends recommended The Pheasant to us and we weren’t disappointed. The food was excellent and the staff attentive but not intrusive. We’ll definitely book again next time we’re in Keswick.

Spot on every time. Consistently perfect. Roast beef perfectly cooked, just that nice pinkness in the middle. Always a good selection of ales and lovely staff with a great view across the fells. If you have room don’t miss the puddings.

Perfect place for a sunday roast.

Excellent Sunday lunch. The lamb Henry fell off the bone and the sticky toffee pudding was out of this world.

What a perfect Sunday lunch Lovely traditional pub setting in village just off the A66 near Penrith Beautiful tender roast beef served with tasty vegetables which had been prepared with the same attention Perfect Yorkshire pudding Couldn’t manage a pudding but had to share an affogato

Two excellent meals on consecutive nights. The soufflé was outstanding and the specials on both nights were inventive and well executed. Staff were super, friendly and helpful. The chef is very talented.

It’s our go to place to eat when we go to Grasmere and get again the food was amazing. If you want a chilled fuss free night with genuine service and great food come here

Food & service was amazing ! Lovely atmosphere, would highly recommend.

Once again excellent service excellent food fantastic atmosphere thanks for a great night

The chef is the only onse I know who cooks a steak just as I want it.

Excellent food and service definitely will be back

Fantastic food as always.

First time at sage and vine and was very impressed. The food was delicious ( but we ordered too much lol) . The service and staff were excellent. It was really busy and the only drawback was that it was extremely noisy-so chatting was really difficult.

Enjoyed the food and pub, thank you

Excellent meal with attentive service. Food superbly cooked. Had steak and chicken both beautifully presented. Quite expensive but worth it!

Stayed in Grasmere for the first time and decided to eat here. Food great. Very nice vibe. Would highly recommend booking to eat here.

What a great place!! We had a wonderful dinner outside during the great heat wave of 2026 and it could have been a better evening. Delicious wine, a great setting, friendly service and yummy food. Highly recommended and not a thing I would have changed!

First time at this menu and I cannot praise staff and quality of food ..11/10...top job..defo re visit
