Reviews in Cumbria and Lake District

Great spot, delicious food and homely service. Well worth a visit.

We had a big table of 10 and literally everyone loved the night. Cocktails were lovely, some of us had pasta which was amazing, some of us had steak (melted in the mouth), and some of us had seafood. They all came out at the same time which is incredible for so many different dishes! We had someone hard of hearing at our table and the staff kindly turned music down so we could talk easier. Everyone was so lovely that we spoke to. Thank you for an amazing night.

We would have chosen everything in the menu, and were delighted with our food. Friendly front of house team made us feel comfortable and welcome.

11 of us had a fabulous night, food was excellent as was the service. Thank you

Absolutely stunning. Food was incredible and service was warm and welcoming. Would recommend to anyone visiting Grasmere to enjoy a meal here. One of the nicest restaurants we’ve been to in a long time.

This is about the 5th time I have eaten here, in the last 4 years. Every time the food is absolutely first class. Not your normal pub chain stuff, clearly homemade and a really nice menu. Throw in great drink selection, friendly locals, great atmosphere and great staff. Oh and dog friendly with a real fire. My favourite pub in the Lake District.

We had an excellent meal, the food was fantastic and the portions were very generous. We were very pleased that a side dish of vegetables were served alongside the main courses. We had two young children and a baby with us but were made to feel very welcome as the staff were friendly and attentive. Would highly recommend!

Good food lovely atmosphere could do with a special in addition to the regular menu And some vegetable / salad sides . Fantastic cakes and deserts . Good value for money

Great food, great service, great venue

Myself and my mum love the YTB food, especially their supper clubs so when we saw their roast dinner advertised under the new head chef Scott we had to book! The roast at £34 with a dessert included was great value for money as the roast came with all the trimmings and plenty of gravy! We literally couldn’t fault any of it and the desserts were really tasty too. Highly recommend to anybody thinking of visiting.

wonderful food, delightful atmosphere and great staff, would definitely recommend a visit.

Absolutely first class as usual never fails to delivers x

We have been visiting The Pheasant for many years on our trips to Keswick. The atmosphere is great and the staff very friendly. The food was excellent, especially the pheasant! Wine was very good too.

Excellent food, superbly cooked using fresh and high quality ingredients. Couldn't fault a single thing. The pork belly bites which we shared as a starter were delicious, tender and flavoursome. I had two starters rather than a main as I wasn't overly hungry. The leek and blue cheese gratin was delicious and piping hot, The garlic bread was sliced ciabatta perfectly toasted and soaked in garlic butter. My so had the sea bass with tandoori butter which was fantastic. Such a delicate flavour perfectly paired with the salty samphire. We shared the sticky toffee pudding which was ever so slightly strong for me (more treacle than toffee?). We didn't have wine but the selection is very good and reasonably priced. Both of us would highly recommend the restaurant and the staff were very friendly also.

Lovely bistro, nice atmosphere and attentive staff. Food lovely and a good choice. Only one grumble, ordered hand cut chips and got fries. Think they forgot as had to ask so got fries and at £5 this was disappointing and no apology or explanation. It was lacking something for £95. One drink each and 2 courses.

Very good meal in a pleasant setting with friendly, helpful staff. The beef curry was rather hotter (spicier) than expected but the lamb rump was cooked to perfection.

Good food attentive staff makes for a great experience.
