Sage and Vine – CarlisleFabulous time in Sage & Vine! Amazing food & wine, excellent service, very friendly & welcoming. Perfect place to chill, spend time with friends. Staff very attentive.
Sage and Vine – CarlisleWhen visiting Keswick we always call in at the Pheasant and are never disappointed Old Peculiar on draft is excellent We had the Pheasant and black pudding for main and it was really good Sticky toffee pudding is the best I have had anywhere The Staff were very polite and were interested as to where we were from We definitely be going again Till the next time CHEERS
Pheasant Inn – KeswickThe restaurant became quite cold as the fire reduced. Our main meals were so very hot we could not eat them for ages, meaning our veg on a side dish got cold. My fish pie was on a serviette on the plate, the waitress explained this was to stop the dish of the pie from slipping from the plate. Unfortunately the dish was stuck to the serviette & far too hot to lift it off. I prefer my food all on one plate & able to eat the vegetables with the main dish. We decided not to have a sweet of Apple & Gooseberry Crumble with custard in case it too came red hot. We have eaten at the Pheasant a few times with a group of friends & enjoyed it. Sadly this was our 38th wedding anniversary and we were disappointed with our food on this occasion.
Pheasant Inn – KeswickTasty and reliable, as ever.

Pheasant Inn – KeswickMy partner and I visited on 28th January 2026 and had a most enjoyable evening. Both the food and service were excellent, definitely worth dining here.
Lewis’s Bistro – GrasmereBeautiful food, staff couldn't have been any better and great value too
Sage and Vine – CarlisleBooked for a party of 15 and we were seated on 2 separate lots of tables, which wasn't ideal, as you expect to be seated all together. If I booked for a large party again, I would request to be seated together.
La Mezzaluna – CarlislePre covid dined here 3 or 4 times a month. They then had issues and stopped going. Seen recent positive reviews and decided to book an evening meal. Could not fault food or service. Good value. Will book again.
