A real jewel in Grasmere as I have definitely not rated the evening meals elsewhere in the area on our yearly visits. Lovely staff and more importantly, delicious food. The sauce with the steak was absolutely incredible. Scallops cooked to perfection. Sticky toffee pudding was a delight.
Lewis’s Bistro – GrasmereEnjoyed an excellent meal here. Friendly staff, nice atmosphere, superb food.
Lewis’s Bistro – GrasmereBest pub food in Keswick without a doubt. It is a little way out at Crosthwaite , but walkable from Keswick centre or down through Fitz park. Recommend booking.
Pheasant Inn – KeswickHave been here before on afew occasions and as always. Fantastic service, friendly staff and great food, definitely be back.
La Mezzaluna – CarlisleWhat a lovely meal. The pheasant was excellent as was the lamb. A lovely (winter) pub with fires , good beer and a friendly atmosphere. We’ve eaten twice in two nights and would thoroughly recommend.
Pheasant Inn – KeswickHearty good food - roast was super. Breakfast was also very good. Pudding was okay but didn't blow us away. Very much worth the money - atmosphere and staff excellent.
The Wheatsheaf at Beetham – MilnthorpeEasy to book. Friendly welcome. It was a Sunday so limited to Sunday lunch which was fine by us. Food was good. You can have 2 meats if you like. Beef a little too pink for my liking but the chicken was perfect. The landlord was very friendly and couldn’t do enough. I would go again but there are other eateries in the area that are strong competition.
Pig and Whistle – CartmelExcellent Sunday lunch. We were a party of 8 choosing 4 different meals and they were all very good. Wonderful Basque cheesecake to follow. And great atmosphere.
Farmers Arms – UlverstonFirst time visitor to Lewis's but we'll certainly be back. Lovely atmosphere and the food was fantastic. We had the lamb and sea bass and both were excellent. The Baileys cheescake was wicked! Thoroughly recommended.

Goody Blake’s – GrasmereGreat spot, delicious food and homely service. Well worth a visit.
Lewis’s Bistro – GrasmereWe had a big table of 10 and literally everyone loved the night. Cocktails were lovely, some of us had pasta which was amazing, some of us had steak (melted in the mouth), and some of us had seafood. They all came out at the same time which is incredible for so many different dishes! We had someone hard of hearing at our table and the staff kindly turned music down so we could talk easier. Everyone was so lovely that we spoke to. Thank you for an amazing night.
La Mezzaluna – CarlisleWe would have chosen everything in the menu, and were delighted with our food. Friendly front of house team made us feel comfortable and welcome.
