Reviews in Cumbria and Lake District

Lovely evening, excellent food and service. Will definitely be back. Thoroughly recommend

Lovely meal, great staff, brill pub highly recommendable, will certainly visit again next year when we are back in the lovely lakes,

excellent meal once again. The steak was one of the best I have ever had, cooked to perfection. very friendly staff, excellent wine, the place never disappoints!

Long story short, being a foodie and being diagnosed as gluten intolerant was really tough. After being served so many poor, half-portion, "adapted" GF meals since, I am constantly on the look-out for GF-friendly restaurants to promote to other GFs. Well, this is certainly the best gluten free meal I have ever had and probably one of the best meals ever too even without considering it was GF. Every element of my beef stroganoff was cooked perfectly, the meat and the veg just melted, and the meal meal portion was very generous. Had scallops to start and they were also gorgeous. Best of 4 meals we had in Grasmere during our stay by far. If you are GF then nothing is too much trouble here, and you will get an amazing meal no matter what. Fab venue and fab wine too.

3rd time visiting The Pheasant Inn and each time the food has been amazing. It is by far the best place to visit, especially for a Sunday roast. The staff are so friendly and accommodating. Can not fault it at all. We’ll be back when we’re next in the Lakes.

Great food and great ambience.

We came after hiking Blencathra, visiting from the Isle of Man & Cheltenham. We are fussy with roasts - especially having a veggie in the group. This was the most incredible roast ever. Creamed leeks to perfection, the most beautiful array of carrots!! Roasties, Yorkshires, gravy, even mash all amazing. Veggie wellington was insane (and that’s coming from someone who doesn’t like mushrooms). Presented beautifully too. Meat absolutely perfect and cooked how you want. The loveliest, cosy village atmosphere to have a drink and a laugh. The nicest waiters who sang happy birthday to one of our group. We will absolutely be coming back for our next trip! Thank you!

A little known gem. A wet and miserable day outside but inside a roaring fire, superb food, and a friendly and welcoming team. Genuinely could not have been better. The roasts went down well including the mammoth Yorkshire puddings….. my Haggis and Neeps (off the specials board) was brilliant. Lovely warm puddings topped us off. Book to avoid disappointment.

Food was delicious, atmosphere was lovely and staff were friendly and welcoming!

Beautiful food and venue. Staff were excellent and I cant wait to come back.

Good service and delicious food

Incredible as always!! Tapas is amazing and great wine and deserts to go with it!! Kat and Cosmina are amazing at what they do xx

Our favourite Italian in Carlisle. Fabulous food, great customer service, decent prices!!

As always, really great food and ever welcoming service. Definitely the best place in Carlisle for an appetising meal, especially if time is tight. Great value for money!

10/10...Service, Food absolutely fantastic. Thankyou.

Always visit when in Carlisle, fantastic food, service and lovely atmosphere.

Lovely meal and good service meant a great evening was spent with friends. Being saturday night it was pretty busy and quite lively but that didn't detract from our experience

Delicious food. Friendly efficient service and warm cosy atmosphere. Definitely recommend
