Reviews in Cumbria and Lake District

we had lunch yesterday & can honestly say it didn't disappoint. my husband had Rissotto Pollo & I had Salmon both absolutely delicious. whenever we're in Carlisle Mezzaluna is a must visit

Have been several times over the years for evening meals, always a bit quirky and disorganised but overlooked by great food, including local vegetables and an interesting menu. Always hoped they would get their act together with not running out of menu options etc. However this last time was a massive disappointment. The wine and beer were poor quality virtually undrinkable . The menu was very limited and 4 dishes had run out giving us very little choice. There were no locally grown vegetables with the meals only green beans which had to be ordered as a side. The food was uninspiring and the whole evening turned out to be an expensive mistake. It needs to be more organised, improved quality of wine available, improve the menu needs to be more original with more variety and to not run out of dishes.

Honestly one of the best meals we have had in the last few years. Food and service were amazing and definitely a 10/10 experience.

Food was amazing and the service was fantastic.

Absolutely amazing food with plenty of choice , warm and welcoming staff and lovely atmosphere

We had a great evening at Grants of Castlegate. The food was delicious and well prepared. The staff are welcoming and attentive and the atmosphere is nice. We will be back.

Tremendous meal with friendly service in a relaxing environment. A real great evening out.

Relaxed atmosphere. Food was great. Menu is limited but what we ate was absolutely delicious Staff seemed overly busy so struggled to check in for our reservation. The girl serving at the bar was border line disinterested. Think you either need more staff or more training so greeting is warmer.

Amazing Amazing food as always

Amazing food and a great place . Really friendly staff.

Our holiday to the lakes wouldn't be the same without a couple of visits to this outstanding place,food excellent has always,service outstanding, staff always run of their feet but always have time for you ,a must visit

Wonderful pub with great service and lovely food. Price was reasonable for proper home cooked food. We wouldn’t hesitate to go back again.

Lovely food, wine and service, definitely value for money. I would highly recommend and I plan to return as it was a lovely meal.

Food was tasty, and you get a lot for your money. Possibly the best onion rings ever. Drinks were good value too.

I was staying in Applethwaite all last week, enjoying beautiful walks and climbs each day and decided that for three consecutive evenings, I would dine at the Pheasant Inn. It was my first time eating there and I was not disappointed in any way. The food was brilliant...staff very friendly, helpful and attentive.....and my three visits made the perfect end to my days of fell walking. Each meal I tried off the menu I would happily order again and although I didn't have enough room left after my main for a dessert, a cheeky glance at the puddings heading out to other customers confirmed that these were of a really high standard too. So thank you Pheasant Inn and I hope to dine with you again when I visit Keswick next time. Very memorable for all the right reasons....would highly recommend a visit!

The food was exceptional and the service was very welcoming and thorough

Absolutely fantastic. Thoroughly recommend to anyone staying in the Lake District you won’t be disappointed.

We went for a mid-afternoon meal - the food was delicious, the ambience was great, and the service was just right. An easy pick for somewhere nice to eat - especially if you love Italian food!
