This is about the 5th time I have eaten here, in the last 4 years. Every time the food is absolutely first class. Not your normal pub chain stuff, clearly homemade and a really nice menu. Throw in great drink selection, friendly locals, great atmosphere and great staff. Oh and dog friendly with a real fire. My favourite pub in the Lake District.
Pheasant Inn – KeswickWe had an excellent meal, the food was fantastic and the portions were very generous. We were very pleased that a side dish of vegetables were served alongside the main courses. We had two young children and a baby with us but were made to feel very welcome as the staff were friendly and attentive. Would highly recommend!
Lewis’s Bistro – GrasmereGood food lovely atmosphere could do with a special in addition to the regular menu And some vegetable / salad sides . Fantastic cakes and deserts . Good value for money
Farmers Arms – UlverstonGreat food, great service, great venue
Harry’s Cafe Bar at Yew Tree Barn – Grange-over-SandsMyself and my mum love the YTB food, especially their supper clubs so when we saw their roast dinner advertised under the new head chef Scott we had to book! The roast at £34 with a dessert included was great value for money as the roast came with all the trimmings and plenty of gravy! We literally couldn’t fault any of it and the desserts were really tasty too. Highly recommend to anybody thinking of visiting.
Harry’s Cafe Bar at Yew Tree Barn – Grange-over-Sandswonderful food, delightful atmosphere and great staff, would definitely recommend a visit.
Lewis’s Bistro – GrasmereAbsolutely first class as usual never fails to delivers x
La Mezzaluna – CarlisleWe have been visiting The Pheasant for many years on our trips to Keswick. The atmosphere is great and the staff very friendly. The food was excellent, especially the pheasant! Wine was very good too.
Pheasant Inn – KeswickExcellent food, superbly cooked using fresh and high quality ingredients. Couldn't fault a single thing. The pork belly bites which we shared as a starter were delicious, tender and flavoursome. I had two starters rather than a main as I wasn't overly hungry. The leek and blue cheese gratin was delicious and piping hot, The garlic bread was sliced ciabatta perfectly toasted and soaked in garlic butter. My so had the sea bass with tandoori butter which was fantastic. Such a delicate flavour perfectly paired with the salty samphire. We shared the sticky toffee pudding which was ever so slightly strong for me (more treacle than toffee?). We didn't have wine but the selection is very good and reasonably priced. Both of us would highly recommend the restaurant and the staff were very friendly also.
Lewis’s Bistro – GrasmereLovely bistro, nice atmosphere and attentive staff. Food lovely and a good choice. Only one grumble, ordered hand cut chips and got fries. Think they forgot as had to ask so got fries and at £5 this was disappointing and no apology or explanation. It was lacking something for £95. One drink each and 2 courses.
Lewis’s Bistro – GrasmereVery good meal in a pleasant setting with friendly, helpful staff. The beef curry was rather hotter (spicier) than expected but the lamb rump was cooked to perfection.
Pheasant Inn – KeswickGood food attentive staff makes for a great experience.
Pheasant Inn – KeswickA relatively small menu choice, BUT the food was excellent. Very tasty, great portions and interesting! We felt it was a little over-priced (Lake District economy!) and whilst busy, not much of an atmosphere. However all in al, I would definitely come back.
Lewis’s Bistro – GrasmereSunday lunch was the best I have ever had. Service was excellent too A little expensive but its a major tourist area.
Pheasant Inn – KeswickStayed at the Queens Head Inn 2 nights over the weekend with family. What a fantastic place. The Inn has so much character and a lovely ambience. The staff were probably the friendliest and welcoming we have ever met in a hotel, they go above and beyond to ensure a pleasant stay for their guests. We ate in the restaurant for evening meal and breakfast. The food was gorgeous. It was fresh and good quality and enjoyed by all in our party. Highly recommend the Queens Head Inn and we will definitely be back.
