Reviews in Cumbria and Lake District

A pleasant experience. Good drinks menu.

What an amazing meal we’ve just had at Harry’s at Yew Tree Barn. Scott was on top form once again with a mouthwatering turkey dinner with all the trimmings. The food was all exceptional and not a crumb was left! There was only one issue… how on earth do I follow that when making Christmas dinner for the family?! Seriously, hats off to the team… service was brilliant, food unbeatable and a great atmosphere too. Well done team.

Delicious food, service and very friendly staff. Definitely worth a visit

Went for a meal on Sunday tea time in December. My partner had the burger which he said was superb and I had the traditional christmas turkey roast dinner. It was perfect, a huge plateful with all the trimmings and a Yorkshire pudding. The sticky toffee pudding and ice cream was great too. We’ve eaten here a few times and love it. It’s our no.1 choice for eating out.

Excellent Sunday lunch as usual!

Great festive Sunday lunch ! The place was bustling . Very tasty vegetarian option, well presented and cooked beautifully with a delicious tart to follow. Staff attentive, friendly and helpful. A great start to the Christmas celebrations. We’ll be back early in the New Year

The meals the four of us had were very good , especially the Sunday roast , lovely and hot , very tasty and fresh ,one of the best I've had anywhere..lovely old pub with plenty of character , nice and clean , and very friendly staff..will definatley be going again

Recently went for Sunday lunch a party of 4. The service and meal was very good, and would not hesitate to recommend the Pheasant Inn and we will be returning for another meal.

Had a fantastic 3 course meal last Friday at the supper club. The greeting when we arrived was friendly and professional. The atmosphere and low sounding music was perfect. Food was imaginative, delicious, hot and well presented. Well done team Harry. We will be back soon. Karen, Neil & Julia

Beautiful pub, beautiful food and lovely staff

Another excellent meal at the Pheasant, Keswick last night. We eat there each time we visit Keswick which is usually every 4-6 weeks. The food is always delicious, piping hot and generous in quantity. Dan and his team work hard to deliver quality home cooked food with a friendly service and a smile. Our favourites are the Venison Bourguignon, Barbery Duck breast, pan seared pheasant and the steaks are excellent ! Real vegetables and proper chips or dauphinoise potatoes. Highly recommend!

Great service from our local, cosy pub. A lovely Xmas dinner special after a night running on the fells

Incredible staff & service. Quite easily beat most places and food was also delicious. Would go back!

Amazing food last night! I had the Lamb Henry and my wife had the Cumberland sausage. Lovely, friendly staff. Good value for money! Would highly recommend.

Beautifully cooked food - fish pie with 75% fish! and Venison Bourgignon with super tender meat, lovely veg, cooked al denté - great service and good real ale and pub atmosphere. Wish this pub was our local.

Dined here whilst visiting the area after looking for somewhere to eat on TripAdvisor. Went for the festive Turkey Sunday lunch. It was outstanding, all home cooked, full of festive flavour and the best Sunday lunch I've had in a long time. Service great too and goo value. Wish I'd have visited both nights we were in the area.

Last night, we had the pleasure of dining at Harry’s Café, and it was an experience to remember. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was enchanting. The pathway leading to the barn was beautifully illuminated with candles and fire pits, setting a warm and inviting tone. Upon entering, we were welcomed with a choice of a glass of bubbles, mulled wine, or another drink of our preference. I opted for the mulled wine, which was simply delightful and the perfect start to the evening. We were then seated, and soon after, our starter arrived: beetroot-cured salmon with horseradish cream. It was exquisitely prepared and absolutely delicious. This was followed by an enormous and equally delicious roast turkey with all the trimmings. While I couldn’t quite manage all the vegetables, the meal was nothing short of perfection. To top it all off, we were treated to a local cheese platter accompanied by a complimentary glass of port from Harry himself, which was a thoughtful and much-appreciated touch. The evening was truly special—my wife and I enjoyed the perfect blend of good company, privacy, and a culinary experience that exceeded expectations. Harry’s Café delivered in every way, and we can’t wait to return!
