We love everything about the Wheatsheaf. Top of the list for us in food quality and service for some years now and very good value too! Worth a mention….If you order the steak pie(scrummy!)don’t forget to order your veg too as not included. Book early!
The Wheatsheaf at Beetham – MilnthorpeBrilliant roast, wonderful service. Really enjoyed how welcoming the pub was to us and our dogs, thanks again.
Pheasant Inn – KeswickThe starter was lovely but the mains a little bit of a let down, it felt like trying to be something its not, well not yet. Service was good along with atmosphere. Just need a tweak on food. At the moment not good enough for us to go back.
The Wheatsheaf at Beetham – MilnthorpeVery enjoyable evening at Lewis Bistro. Food very tasty particularly as red wine sauce on haddock gave me an excuse for drinking red wine with fish. Friendly and fast service.
Lewis’s Bistro – GrasmereLovely meal as always , great service, staff and lovely atmosphere
La Mezzaluna – CarlisleBeen here a couple of times and were in the Lakes for our 60th birthdays. Had an amazing meal and the staff are so friendly. I would definitely recommend and would definitely go back. We had French onion soup for starters and rack of lamb followed by cheese cake . Delicious x Thank you to all the staff we had such a lovely night xx
Lewis’s Bistro – GrasmereA very good meal, tasty, well cooked and well presented. Minor point was a little too much salt in the creamy mash for my palate. Atmosphere is pleasant but touch Spartan. However, excellent value and we will return.
Grants Of Castlegate – PenrithAwesome food, friendly, fast service, relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. Stephen even gave us a lift home as we were the last customers, as he was passing our hotel on his way home. We would definitely recommend. Thank you Darren & Kathryn
Grants Of Castlegate – PenrithSorry. Am a good cook myself. My chicken was reasonable. The belly pork meal pretty awful. Staff did their best. Very pushed due to lack of help. Didnt think the quality merited the price paid. As an aside. The broccoli wasnt cooked at all and couldnt cut it. No offence to anyone. They were busy and pleasant.
The Wheatsheaf Inn – KendalI had cod fish and found it to be overcooked and dry. We were also put in the conservatory part of the restaurant which both my husband and I felt there was no atmosphere and rather chilly. In other words we were ‘out on a limb’ with service rather slow.
The Wheatsheaf Inn – KendalStayed for 1 night after revisiting my childhood driving around some of the lakes, this suited me, room was very nice, food both PM and the breakfast was very nice, staff very friendly, very much recommend and and come stay again
Queens Head Inn Tirril – PenrithReally nice food I had the Fillet Steak and my wife had the pork both where very good. The restaurant just lacks a bit of ambience but staff and food excellent.
Grants Of Castlegate – PenrithWe booked to come on Saturday evening, table of 4. As soon as we walked in, the pub just felt gorgeous, homely, cosy and lovely. Staff could not be anymore attentive. I had the Venison which was to die for. Everyone else’s dinner was amazing too. Absolute 10/10 and will be back without a doubt.
Pheasant Inn – KeswickLovely pub, friendly staff and locals. Food very nice. Would recommend
Greyhound Inn Cotehill – CarlisleDined on Monday7th October 2024, my third time at the Pheasant. Foo as always superb value , varied menu to include all tastes and restrictions. Service was exceptional, attentive yet not imposing and the food arrived in perfect time. Always a generous portion and the extra vegetables cooked to perfection
Pheasant Inn – KeswickHad a most enjoyable meal whilst on holiday in Thornthwaite in early October. I had prawn and smoked salmon, with a horseradish sauce. A very fresh and clean taste with a nice tang from the sauce. I had the pheasant and black pudding main course and my partner the scampi. Pheasant was particularly impressive - very unctuous. Followed by a shared lemon posset. They were aksos erving an excellent guest beer - appropriately the Pheasant golden ale from a Warrington brewery.
Pheasant Inn – KeswickMy wife and I came for Sunday lunch,I had the half roast chicken with an extra yorkshire pudding and also pigs in blankets.My wife had the nut roast and a portion of the cauliflower cheese and both of us it was a fantastic meal,the only negative was the amount of roast potatoes on each plate (2) other than that it was faultless.Very friendly staff and very cosy, we will definitely be back!!!
The Wheatsheaf at Beetham – MilnthorpeWe have been for both lunch and Sunday roasts, and both were delicious. Really flavoursome food and a cosy, quirky vibe! I would love the roasts to be slightly bigger, as my only feedback. Lots of meat but I love lots of roast potatoes, even if you could buy extra as a side. I would highly recommend the spicy sausage rolls too!
