Reviews in Cumbria and Lake District

We were staying on a B&B in the village and booked a table for dinner the food and the service was excellent we were made to feel very welcome

Had 2 evenings meals here, great on both occasions. Great atmosphere and great food with good gluten free options too!

Upon booking, we were requested to email our order in advance due to the number of our party (eight). After waiting for twenty minutes without any refreshments offered, we were asked to place our order anyway. Two other tables, each of two, arrived after us and also ordered after us were served promptly. Despite the tasty and of high quality food, the food was lukewarm and the service was subpar.

Great food , lovely atmosphere and very friendly staff . Thoroughly enjoyed xx

Excellent birthday meal. We particularly enjoyed the cheese soufflé, duck starter and wine of the month

Excellent, all round, highly recommend

Always enjoyed flat iron steak here on numerous previous visits. Surprised not to see this on menu last night Opted for the £30 sirloin but too big too boring and the chips mushroom and tomatoes boring Left quite a lot. Please reintroduce flat iron or even bavette steak. Service as always excellent.

Superb food & excellent attentive service ! Definitely worth a visit.

First time visit, amazing food and a brilliantly relaxed atmosphere.

A cozy, friendly, restaurant with excellent food.

Love everything about this restaurant, the food, the staff, the management, the atmosphere it is exceptional.

Stayed two nights and ate both nights and can't fault it the food was delicious we had the fish and chips also the steak pie and the burger everything we had was delicious . The staff were all brilliant couldn't do enough for you, can't fault the place.

We were recommended this pub while we were staying in Keswick, it's a lovely place, plenty of staff on hand. Fantastic Sunday lunch. We should have visited more than once during our stay, will definitely call again next time we are in the area.

The Wheatsheaf is a great pub for its old style atmosphere and very decent food. We had the game pie and the cheese and onion pie. Both home made and both excellent. Not so sure about the rest of the plate. Would much have preferred red cabbage to mushy peas (?!) with the game pie. And salad with the cheese and onion pie was also an odd one. Lastly as another reviewer has mentioned the menu choice is quite restricted which limits our enthusiasm for more frequent visits.

Really enjoyed a lovely meal. Very friendly bar staff and restaurant staff. Food was really hot and nicely presented. Food served quickly and efficiently. Great atmosphere, cosy fire.

A very pleasant, busy restaurant serving a nice range of choice for food. So good we went back 2 nights in a row & only staying 2 nights in Carlisle!!

So good, we ate there both nights of our 2 night stay in Keswick. Great atmosphere, lovely staff, and a varied menu. A proper pub, warm, friendly, good food.
