Reviews in Cumbria and Lake District

We were really pleasantly surprised at how good the food was. All food was piping hot, tasty and home-cooked. We had the parsnip fritters to start - lovely fusion of tastes. To follow, the beef pie was excellent, fresh veg perfectly cooked and the chips were just how we like them. The service was very efficient and friendly. Space was a little bit tight, but not a major problem, and reflects the historical nature of the pub. Thank you Pheasant Inn - we will definitely come again!

Our first and last nights in Keswick were here and the food here excelled both nights. The main attraction for us was the vegetarian options, that were interesting chef creations and balanced meals, NOT the inevitable burger & chips. Substantial serving of vegetables. Friendly service. It is 'pub grub' I guess and not overpriced gourmet, but is easily one of the best places to eat in Keswick.

All I can say is excellent service and excellent food. I have been here a few times and it is always amazing.

We all enjoyed great food, lovely friendly staff.

We enjoyed our visit to the peasant. We had a very pleasant evening. Food drinks staff were all great. We will definitely come back sometime.

Visited on 2 September, 2 adults & our 4 year old. We ordered the steak & ale pie which was massive & served on a huge portion of chips with loads of veg & lots of gravy. The pie had loads of meat & the meal was lovely. We also had a steak with chips & sides which was also lovely & well cooked. Our 4 year old had fish fingers & chips which was a good size for her. Overall the meal was fantastic. We ate in the room at the front but habe normally eaten in the smaller room by the bar but it was lovely. We've eaten here a few times now on our visits to the lakes & always enjoy it. Lovely relaxed atmosphere. The only downside was that the resident dog Kookie wasn't in on this visit & our little girl loves to see him so she got upset he wasn't there but we explained it was his day off lol. Love this place

Nice relaxed atmosphere and good pub food. I especially enjoyed the very dark meaty gravy on my pie, and had some very tasty "Dizzy blonde" beer. Our dog was welcomed and the staff were warm and helpful.

Excellent service and well presented food, good choice of real ales. Just the place to have our wedding anniversary lunch

Fabulous Sunday lunch Cooked to perfection. Staff also brilliant. Would highly recommend. Excellent value for money

Delicious Sunday lunch, and good value compared to other places in the lakes. Generous portion and all very tasty. Relaxed atmosphere, friendly service and easy to book. Definitely recommended! Thank you.

Very welcoming, friendly. Incredibly good food. Thank you!

Delicious Sunday Roast with huge Yorkshire and perfectly cooked veg.

Lovely Sunday lunch, the Roast Beef was delicious. Would definitely book again if in the area.

A really pleasant experience. The food, particularly the tournedos Rossini was excellent

Traditional old pub. Food good and service exceptional. Friendly staff.

What a lovely evening from Harry's and the visiting chefs! Drinks outside in front of an open fire, followed by delicious and meticulously prepared food. All in a very congenial setting.

5 of us had a very good evening at the Farmers Arms. The food was excellent. The venison was off the menu, but we had the added bonus of live music which was unexpected.

5 star
