We had a lovely meal at the Pheasant, the food was delicious. The service was perfect and the atmosphere there is very friendly. This is not the first time we have been there and it will not be the last.
Pheasant Inn – KeswickFood absolutely delicious, we both had the Sunday roast and also ordered a plate of fries which are amazing. For desert we both had the apple crumble, one with cream and the other with custard. Portion sizes are great Staff are so lovely and friendly, highly recommend, we will definitely be back
Greyhound Inn Cotehill – CarlisleExcellent atmosphere and service from the moment we arrived. We had an extra diner which was catered for without any fuss whatsoever. We all selected either chicken or beef pies and both were superb, nothing was left on any plates at all. Value for money was very good, all in all, a cracking meal in a cracking pub.
Pheasant Inn – KeswickThe restaurant itself has been decorated and laid out lovely. Staff were very welcoming. There were four of us and we ordered a sharing board and some small plates to share. Portion sizes were perfect, everything was cooked fresh and tasted delicious and service was really prompt. Favourites for us were the cod cheeks, croquettes, Hitchin? Chicken although as it was all so nice we would eat everything we ordered again. Drinks menu was also plentiful we had wine and beers and finished with a cocktail each. I would recommend the espresso martini. We will 100% be back.
Sage and Vine – CarlisleWonderful meal, great value and we were well looked after. Too full for pudding but will be back to try them.
Pheasant Inn – KeswickWe had a lovely meal on the evening of January second. Very tasty food and excellent, pleasant service.
Sage and Vine – CarlisleFirst time visiting the Greyhound and not disappointed. The food was delicious and the portion size was just right, I'm not a big eater but could quite easily eat three courses. The deserts could have been a bit hotter but overall a very enjoyable evening. Service and choice of food on the menu was very good. Would recommend.

Pheasant Inn – KeswickLovely meal, food delicious & great service especially from Rachel
La Mezzaluna – CarlislePositives- Food was really lovely- high quality and good portions. Quirky little place with lots of character. Negatives- we’d booked for lunch for 4 people- we were shown into room next to the bar, it was freezing so we all sat in our coats. After about 45 minutes we had to ask if the heating could be put on. Bar man was pretty miserable and not very welcoming.
Pig and Whistle – CartmelVisited La Mezzaluna last night and the food was as beautiful as always, everything arrived on the table in good time and as it was ordered. Atmosphere was lovely and staff very attentive. Would recommend on all fronts.
