Our Sunday lunch was excellent, with the beef cooked to perfection. The staff were also excellent, friendly and attentive. The experience was only let down for us by the ambience; we found the dining room cold and rather gloomy. Lovely building though.
The Wheatsheaf at Beetham – MilnthorpeNine of us received excellent service from this restaurant. The food quality was generally thought to be very good. The choice on the menu was also good, with plenty of veggie options. Alcohol was a little too expensive, but the food was very reasonably priced we thought. Would definitely recommend, and will definitely revisit next time we're in Carlisle. The central location was a bonus.
La Mezzaluna – CarlisleTwo of us had three courses and each one was lovely. When we visit the area again it will be our dining place of choice.
Pheasant Inn – KeswickExcellent service and excellent quality food will definitely be back x
Sage and Vine – CarlisleA friendly greeting on arrival and quickly seated. Serice was excellent and the food was very good and served on warm plates. A relaxed atmosphere and very enjoyable evening. We will certainly return next time we are in Keswick
Pheasant Inn – KeswickGood food Good service Good beer Good price Will call again when we return to Keswick
Pheasant Inn – KeswickWe had 2 roast, sharing platters which were excellent. Just enough food for 4 which meant we could have desert. The apple crumble cheesecake and sticky toffee sundae were beautiful. Would definitely recommend.
Pig and Whistle – CartmelWent at 5pm on a Sunday - husband had the 3 meat roast dinner and I the fish and chips. Food was sensational - absolutely gorgeous and cooked to an extremely high standard. Staff were lovely although a few service issues to iron out such as no cutlery on the tables, salt shaker was brought with no salt, drinks on the bills that weren’t ours but nothing major and all problems resolved immediately. Overall brilliant and would return!
The Royal Oak – UlverstonFantastic sunday lunch, great value for money and fantastic quality.. Easy booking process and good communication with Greg for pre ordering, very easy process!! Highly recommend
Harry’s Cafe Bar at Yew Tree Barn – Grange-over-SandsX
The Wheatsheaf Inn – KendalWe visited yesterday for Sunday lunch and were a table of 5x including a toddler. The pub has been refurbished to a high standard and was very clean and cosy - I didn't mark 5/5 as we were a table by the door and with it being so busy (which is good thing and positive to see) it kept getting left open and we were very cold. I know the pub well from over the years and will definitely request a table further in or by the fire as they have a lovely real fire which can be lit in the pub area. Service was a bit muddled and on the slow side but this was to be expected as they have been open literally a week. But when the food arrived it was sensational - the best roast I have had in this area in a long time! Also, all the staff and new owner were so friendly and welcoming and literally anything we asked for they would accomodate. We will all be returning regularly! I am so happy we have a local pub five minutes drive from Ulverston with such amazing quality food! Thanks to the chef and all the staff yesterday!
The Royal Oak – UlverstonThis is the second time this year that we have been to Grants and it doesn’t disappoint. The fillet steak was delicious cooked exactly as I like it and it was just as good as the first one. The roasted chicken and bacon was absolutely amazing excellent combination of flavours with a carrot purée sauce. Finished off with an amazing sticky toffee pudding that we had to share as I could not have eaten the whole portion by myself. Compliments to the chef, service was excellent, worth every penny, a beautiful dinner to finish off our anniversary. Thank you to all the staff at Grants
Grants Of Castlegate – Penrithwell, I booked a table a week ago for dinner for my friend's birthday. After arriving on Thursday this week we found a sign saying there was renovation. The day before I got a message about a reservation reminder heh. I called and asked what was going on, the lady said she called me several times with information about the renovation. Unfortunately I didn't get any phone call. Very sad because it's our favorite place and a big minus for them.
La Mezzaluna – CarlisleDecided to try this place after seeing their facebook page and it never disappointed. The pub was clean and the owners were very welcoming. The food was amazing and well worth the money and was good to see pub food with a little bit of class. I will be back and will recommend the place.
The Royal Oak – UlverstonVisited for a pre-booked evening meal on a very busy night. Service was excellent from well trained staff who were friendly with terrific senses of humour. The food was excellent. We both went for chefs specials and we weren't disappointed
Pheasant Inn – KeswickFood nice, service good. Disappointing that the menu was not the same as the one outside the pub, we were looking forward to the stuffed chicken breast. Room we were sat in was very cold.
