Reviews in Cumbria and Lake District

A perfect meal to end a great week in Grasmere. We booked a couple of weeks in advance and were not disappointed! Easy to walk to if you are staying in Grasmere, or there is a great bus service too that stops near the bistro. The food was amazing with lots of gluten free options. Even though, I was full, having read a previous review I had the cheesecake, it was indeed delicious. The service was faultless, attentive but not overbearing and just the right amount of time between courses. A must visit if you are in Grasmere but remember to book.

Lovely meal with friends. The cocktails are so good! Can't wait to go back.

Lovely meal with good choice of gluten free options. Very popular bistro so it's best to book a table. The fillet steak with a blue cheese sauce was excellent.

The whole evening was excellent from polite and efficient staff to the excellent meals we had

Amazing food, amazing service and very good value for money, for a family of 4 we were well fed and watered and came away happy like we do every visit. Can't wait to go back x

We were staying nearby and wanted an evening meal. Booked for 4 of us. Menu was different to online but great choices. Slightly disappointed that there wasn’t the option to have a steak but food was tasty. Staff fantastic.

We had a lovely meal here.The restaurant has a nice atmosphere and a bit more personal than other Italian restaurants in the area.

My wife and I had an early dinner at the Wheatsheaf last Saturday evening. As always, the food was excellent quality, well served by friendly and efficient staff.

Great pub, great food , wide choice of dishes and superb service by the team. Try the Pheasant Ale!

Despite pre booking our food several days in advance, we were told when pudding was being served that they were out of custard. Can’t understand this if we had pre booked. The decor was very tired. Food was ok. I wouldn’t return.

We went with our children, and everyone enjoyed it. Lovely place, food was satisfying, service was excellent and warm

Excellent food, our table of four couldn’t fault a single item. We received pleasant service also from all waiters staff who seemed happy to be there. We would recommend for anyone in the area and will return next year when we revisit the lakes!

Always my go to restaurant when in town. Fantastic food Fantastic services Excellent value for money

We brought our golf society to Mezzalunna after a recommendation. There were 16 hungry (and thirsty) men. The owner was a pleasure to deal with before we arrived and incredibly helpful. On the evening itself, we were slightly late due to us underestimating Silloth golf course, but the staff were very understanding. The service was impeccable from the moment we arrived. The food was brought out piping hot and all at the same time, even though it was clearly a busy evening. The food itself was excellent. I had a Canneloni which was top notch. Our starters were superb too. Everybody in our party were happy with their meals. The atmosphere was excellent with the other larger party joining in with our “Happy Birthday” rendition for one of our senior members. He was thrilled to have a bit of a fuss made of the occasion. All in all we couldn’t have been happier with our evening. Thank you very much to all the staff, they are outstanding, and contributed to a lovely evening. Top marks.

The Pheasant is a fantastic Lakeland pub, where the atmosphere is always lively and welcoming and the kitchen team consistently produce good quality food. I am a regular and I am never disappointed.

Amazing meal, amazing service, fabulous gluten free options. I’ll be back most definitely, highly recommend.

Delicious food, beautifully cooked and well presented by friendly and attentive staff. Over 2 visits, our party sampled meat, fish and vegetarian options for starters and mains and can recommend them all. Rhubarb crumble tart with ginger ice cream is a perfect pud. We'll be back!
