Reviews in Cumbria and Lake District

I don’t normally leave reviews however it feels a must. Everywhere was booked over back holiday so couldn’t get a table and they had availability which made me question going. Wow. The food was amazing there was a party of 8 of us and I’ll we spoke about in the walk back was how axing the food was. 5 stars from all of us. Chatting to the staff they’ve only just been taken over by new management. Keep doing what you are doing and you guys will smash it. 5 stars from us

This was a fantastic evening! Firstly, how refreshing it was to have outstanding service, they were lovely and very passionate about their menu and produce. The ambiance here was perfect, well designed, clean, intimate atmosphere. The food was just beautiful - I would highly recommend anyone coming here!

Visited Sage &Vine on 1/5 it was a brilliant experience from start to finish. The service was exceptional friendly,attentive and very welcoming without feeling intrusive. The staff clearly take pride in what they do,and it shows in every interaction. The food was impressive each dish was well presented and packed with flavor. everything we had was fabulous. I would not hesitate to recommend Sage &Vine .

Have been to The Pheasant many times before and our return visit this bank holiday weekend did not disappoint. The food is always excellent and it's great you can now book a dog friendly table in the bar area. A great selection to choose from and always a nice cosy atmosphere.

we booked this for a family meal was please to see they can cope well with allergies offering alternatives or alterations to suit dinners, we had a full three course meal with wine all the food was great and good value we all had a great time and would recommend and happily go back next time we are in Penrith, Thank you

Lovely country restaurant Very friendly and welcoming staff, we visited whilst on holiday as a family with our dog, what a find, food was by far outstanding, highly recommend if you're visiting the area or a local, super experience, thank you for your hospitality

Nice food, good service.

We had a really warm welcome at The Pheasant in Keswick — the reception made us feel genuinely special from the moment we arrived. The service throughout was excellent: attentive without being over the top. The food was just as impressive. I started with a leek and potato soup that tasted just like something homemade — simple and comforting. For my main, I had the fish pie, which was packed with generous portions of fresh fish and full of flavour. My wife chose the baked Brie to start, followed by the Lake District beef pie, which she thoroughly enjoyed. The vegetables were all cooked beautifully. To top it off, the Old Peculier was in great condition, clearly from a well-maintained cellar. A thoroughly enjoyable visit — we happily left a £10 tip and would definitely return.

Absolutely delicious food with good ambience. We totally enjoyed in a cosy corner. Highly recommended.

I had the most wonderful meal with my friend who had never been to the Horse and Farrier and she was delighted with the fish and Chips she had. She said it was the best cooked fish she has ever had. My meal course was very colourful in the way it was presented and the taste was reflected in the taste, it was delightful and very memorable meal. The service was good and friendly.

Have eaten here quite a few times now and never fails to please. Staff are very good - efficient and helpful. Great menu - often end up with only one thing able to choose - definitely apply for choice here. Will be back

Food very good as always, we had the cod, sea bass, stroganoff & red thai curry, great service we will be back next time we’re in Grasmere.

Had a wonderful meal & were greeted with friendly staff. The menu gives a good choice & the cooking & presentation of the food is excellent. Booking is essential as this is a small venue

I had a disappointing meal. Food was very average. Prawn piri piri was anything but - frozen prawns barely warm and little or no chilli oil Herb crusted cod wasn’t great. Crust was on skin of cod which was tough and impossible to eat. Sadly, I wouldn’t recommend restaurant or return.

Another great meal with a fantastic atmosphere! Never fails!
