Have visited for lunch several times over the last few years when holidaying in the area and it never disappoints! Lovely bar and dining area, welcoming friendly staff and great food and service. Will certainly pay another visit next time we’re in the area.
Horse and Farrier – PenrithWarm atmosphere and fire and welcomed our two well behaved dogs. Staff were attentive. Our meals were 1 lamb, 2 Cumberland sausage- all delicious, I had chicken ham and leek pie - it was thin consisting mainly pastry and a few small bits of meat- poor. Beer range was disappointing.
Pheasant Inn – KeswickFantastic food and amazing staff so lovely and great service! Restaurant was decorated beautifully. Celebrated Grandson’s 18th birthday Friday. Thank you all you made it so special.
Adriano’s Italian Restaurant – CarlisleLovely food & excellent service
Sage and Vine – CarlisleExcellent service, friendly staff, delious food. Will definitely be booking again
La Mezzaluna – CarlisleWe had a lovely meal on Saturday evening. This is a traditional, cosy, country pub. The service was great, the staff were friendly and keen to help even though it was busy. The food was delicious, lots of choice for vegetarians. We will definitely be returning.
Pheasant Inn – KeswickBeautiful. We had the chefs specials, tuna dish and a chicken wrapped over Cumberland sausage. Superb. Service was 10/10 as always. Completely faultless so thank you for a lovely Saturday evening. We will be back.
Pheasant Inn – KeswickPleasant pub serving a good choice of tasty dishes and good beer. Our only reservation was that portion sizes are rather small!
The Wheatsheaf at Beetham – MilnthorpeBeen here couple years ago and the food was incredible - brought the whole family over this weekend and unfortunately the food was very disappointing. The food came out luke warm, tasteless and not a thrilling menu to begin with. We ordered 6 pints on arrival, the food came out and we ordered another 6 pints. These drinks had not arrived by the time we finished our meals, at which point we didn’t want to stay any longer due to disappointing food and a lack of atmosphere and warmth in the pub.
Queens Head Inn Tirril – PenrithAlways enjoy an evening at Adriano’s. Staff are so friendly, service is excellent and food is delicious. Already booked to go back.
Adriano’s Italian Restaurant – CarlisleWe visit most times we are in the Lake District, and our most recent visit did not disappoint! We tried the 3 courses for £33 deal, and were both blown away by our starter and mains in particular - amazing combinations of flavours - and with a couple of very tasty pints to boot it provided a great reward for having walked over from Stainton. Look forward to seeing what you have on offer in the New Year when we're next back.
Horse and Farrier – PenrithGreat restaurant love the cheese boards, fab wine! Favourite place at the lakes?
