Reviews in Cumbria and Lake District

We have been visiting Keswick for several years and generally visited the pubs and restaurants in the immediate town centre. This year we decided to visit the Pheasant Inn which was an extra ten minutes walk. We are very pleased we made this decision. The food was very good value and there were some good options for vegetarians, large portions which were ideal after a day of walking. Very good beers from the bar and attentive service from the staff. We will definitely be making a visit again in the future.

The food is consistently delicious we go back constantly. Sunday lunch is plentiful with an amazing gravy biggested yorshires you see in a pub . Staff lovely and friendly highly recommended.

We have had a couple of meals at the pig and whistle and every meal was gorgeous. The staff were amazing and so accommodating. Highly recommend this place for food or for a drink

Fantastic food and great service.

We stopped here to break a long journey. There was a Father’s Day menu offering roast dinners. The food was excellent and portions were very generous. The staff were friendly and efficient.

Lovely food and friendly staff

The food was excellent and different tastes of product. The staff were excellent and well versed in their roles. This pub is well worth a visit if you are near Keswick

We were recommended this little Lake District gem, by friends who had experienced The Pheasant Inn. Our experience was amazing, a genuine old fashioned family pub serving real ales of quality and food that was exceptional, particularly our Sunday roast beef lunch. An plateful that most will fully enjoy whilst others may flounder, but the taste and quality were great. The staff at The Pheasant Inn were welcoming, helpful, knowledgeable and efficient, our wait for our meal was acceptable, bearing in mind the hostelry was full to bursting. We would certainly recommend you book a table otherwise there may be a wait for a table. Value for money, we would say yes bothe for drinks and food, this hostelry has now become a firm favourite of ours and we will be back ..... would be rude not to. Thank you, Team Pheasant Inn.

3rd week on a run we’ve been for food. Can’t fault it. Tony is a fabulous host and can’t do enough for you. Highly recommend

Not as good was previous visit. Chicken was over cooked and hard. Vegetables mushy and overcooked. One of our pasta dishes was also overcooked too soft. Probably wouldn’t visit again. Gone down hill.

We are on holiday in flookburgh at haven lakeland. After looking around for a place to go for a meal we found this place. The food was great, very tasty and you actually got a decent portion, we then went back for Sunday lunch, which again, was lovely, fresh veg, homemade yorkies and roast potatoes ( no aunt Bessie's here) beautiful beef and pork. The staff are very friendly too. We already booked for next Sunday. I do recommend booking for Sundays.

Simply excellent

Really enjoyed our Sunday dinner for Father's Day. The staff were excellent, warm and attentive, and the food was delicious. Even with baby and dog in tow we were made to feel like no trouble and had a great time.

Lovely food, great service from friendly staff. Thanks for a great night.

The best pub food in Keswick by far, visited with three friends and the food and service were first class. The rainbow trout was superb.

Fab dinner service amazing friendly staff portion sizes very good. Menu choice excellent. Will definitely be back

We had a lovely welcome and although we arrived early we were seated straight away. The staff were really friendly and efficient. We both had lamb which was perfect and delicious, as was the Chianti ! We will definitely recommend and return when we are in the area again.
