First visit to this lovely pub. We loved the decor of the pub and the food was delicious. Very friendly and courteous staff nothing was too much trouble. Will definitely be calling again soon.
The Wheatsheaf at Beetham – MilnthorpeThought we stepped into someone’s living room but the food was great, I had the rack of lamb and my wife had seabass. Very tasty and reasonably priced. Staff were friendly and efficient. We will definitely be back next time visiting the lakes
Lewis’s Bistro – GrasmereLovely venue, great food, quick service and very friendly staff. Enjoyed it so much we came back on our 2nd night and will certainly return in the future!
Lewis’s Bistro – GrasmereWe are frequent visitors to the Wheatsheaf. The welcome is always warm and the food delicious.
The Wheatsheaf at Beetham – MilnthorpeCustomer service was 5*, even when the dessert came out and they didn’t have a specific ice cream our needs were still met and the food was exceptional. Definitely will return
La Mezzaluna – CarlisleFantastic food and atmosphere. Highly recommended.
Lewis’s Bistro – GrasmereVisited Pig and Whistle with friends Sunday 8th September. Had Sunday Lunch which was delicious. Everything was good would definitely dine here again.
Pig and Whistle – CartmelLovely food, great service , will definitely be back.
Pheasant Inn – KeswickDoes what it says on the tin - don’t go expecting non bistro dishes. What they do, they do well. No complaints.
Lewis’s Bistro – GrasmereAbsolutely delicious meal and wonderful staff . We had the surf and turf and it was to die for . All the flavours were just merged into a heavenly taste . We were staying at the Rothay Garden and the food was disappointing. We took a chance and booked here . So pleased we did ! Highly recommend for a delicious experience. We also had scallops , belly pork starters and the Bakewell at the end burp !!
Lewis’s Bistro – GrasmereExcellent menu and food was first class. Friendly service both at dinner and breakfast.
The Wheatsheaf Inn – KendalFantastic meal and service. Couldn’t recommend more highly. So impressed immediately booked the following night and although full they managed to squeeze us in.
Lewis’s Bistro – GrasmereAbsolutely beautiful fish sharing platter, gorgeous wood fired pizza. Excellent service. Would highly recommend. Lovely atmosphere. Will definitely be back.
Sage and Vine – CarlisleWe visited based on options provided by our guest house and with our sister in law and her friend who were doing the coast to coast walk. The food was nice but the service was the worst that we have experienced for a long time with the staff seemingly happy to chat to certain tables while ignoring a lot of others who were clearly waiting to order or ask for the bill. The food was ok when it arrived and tasted nice but were small portions compared with the two other establishments without providing any obvious benefit compared with others places that we visited in Grasmere but the poor service coloured our evening and so this was the only place visited where we declined to provide a tip. We will not return because of the service and and cannot recommend to others over the other options in Grasmere such as Tweedies and the Good Sport which were both excellent for food, service and value.
Lewis’s Bistro – GrasmereFound this restaurant online and reviews were excellent. Went for a meal on a Wednesday evening and the place was nearly full ,so i would book in advance. Staff were very attentive and the meal was superb , best we had whilst in the lake district and we had some good meals. Would totally recommend Grants if you are staying in the area , we will be back next time we are in Cumbria.
Grants Of Castlegate – PenrithExcellent meal and cheerful service as always on our annual visit to this area. Our only regret is that the choice of pies has reduced to just 3 since lockdown. Would not miss going for a meal at least once while up.
