Reviews in Cumbria and Lake District

Never disappoints!.. great beer, great menu and lovely staff!!

Went Valentines day,great food and service

I have to say I was surprised at just how good the food was, most pub type restaurants are all very similar in the Lake District. What’s on offer on their menus, the quality of the food served & the price. Here the menu was a special one for Valentine’s Day but the regular menu was still available. I’d say it was maybe a little more expensive than the standard LD pub restaurants, but my god was it worth every penny. We had the special sharing rump steak dish, which was cooked to perfection as was the accompanying vegetables with a very tasty gravy. The food was divine & they obviously had a very talented chef, the service was also excellent from the team of young lady’s working that night. Also the red wine of the month was so good too. I highly recommend anyone thinking of eating here to try it, I’m sure you will not be disappointed.

Food was fantastic as always, staff always great of the mark cleaning plates and asking for drinks only thing let it down was clearly issue between a couple of staff members as with us siting by the bar we could feel the tension

Excellent meal, super bistro in the heart of Grassmere - service excellent, very attentive We will return - thank you for making our experience at your lovely restaurant memorable one

Paying a visit to the Lakes we wanted somewhere special to dine out one evening. The website and menu looked really good so a booking was made. I have to say that we fell lucky. A great place for an evening meal with superb food and excellent service. It’s unfortunate that we live so far away otherwise Grants of Castlegate, to give it its full title would be our “go to place.”

Our second visit and just as brilliant as we remembered. Great choice of classic food with amazing steak and stout pie made in house. We love the atmosphere that only an old English inn provides, from the warming log fire to the chunky old tables and chairs. It’s very comforting and welcoming and a great place to come for some delicious food. Can’t wait to visit again.

Absolutely amazing food, top quality food and superb service. Our new favourite place to eat. We'll be back!

one of the best meals I've had in a long time. We both loved the friendly welcome and the cosy setting. The food was delightful - my sea bass was cooked to perfection and the accompanying veg were really good, not overly crunchy as appears to be the modern way. Just wish Grasmere was a bit closer - we'd be there once a week! Thank you - we've had quite a few mediocre meals recently and this was outstanding.

We had an excellent meal on Saturday evening. The food was excellent as was the service. We would definitely recommend this restaurant and will visit next time we are in Grasmere. Plus they are dog friendly.

Fantastic meal at La Mezzaluna, as a regular diner at the restaurant it never lets you down, delicious food and great staff/service - will see you again soon.

On arrival advised that they were running slightly behind time but would be as quick as possible. It was only a short wait of less than 10 mins when food arrived it was presented nicely, plenty of it and staff were attentive without being in your face. The costs were appropriate to the meal. Will thoroughly recommend it to others

A fabulous Sunday lunch. Shame that by 2.30pm a few dishes were already sold out but our next choices were still great. So nice to be able to take the dog with us. Would highly recommend.

Another great Sunday lunch, a must for anyone in the Keswick, Penrith area who haven’t discovered the place yet.

Excellent meal and delightful service. Menu included tradional Lakeland options and some creative new dishes. We loved the mackerel and cashews. The venison was generous and very tender and the whole evening was very good value.

We had Sunday lunch 9th Feb for my wife’s birthday and it was great. The Service was really friendly, the main course were excellent, I recommend the roast beef dinner and the sticky toffee pudding was delicious. We definitely recommend a trip to the Queens.

Food was very good with a wide selection of dishes available. Had eaten at three other pubs and this was the best. Very popular so you need to book. Will eat here again next time I am in Keswick.

The food and service was exemplary, incredibly attentive and extremely delicious, highly recommended!
