Reviews in Cumbria and Lake District

Our 2nd visit food was great and dogs allowed that’s a bonus for us

Great to have the Sunday lunch back again, -- the standard is as good as before, -- excellent. People with large appetites will be happy at the quality and quantity of vegetables.

we had roast Vension and caseolet , both very tasty and not bad value for such good food. Staff very friendly .

Lovely atmosphere, attentive service. Excellent

Booked the Sunday Night Special which included the Sunday Roast and Breakfast the following morning. Order was taken for our Sunday Roast and arrived 15 mins later and looked promising, however it was not so. The meal wasn’t hot at best it was luke warm and the broccoli & cauliflower were under cooked almost still raw, the mash and carrot/swede mash were very tasty just not enough as with the roast potatoes (only 2). The topside of beef was ok as was the Yorkshire pudding. Following our roast we ordered the Sticky Toffee Pudding which we had eaten there before and once again it did not disappoint it was the best part of the meal. One other downside were the two uncontrolled children at another table whose parents weren’t interested in calming them down just wanted the rest of us to know about their recent holiday. It was a relief when they left. The following morning we had our breakfasts which again were very good and plenty of choice.

It’s always been an easy option, when staying near Penrith, to walk to a local pub for a meal but after a bit of research we drove to Penrith. We certainly made the right decision. Friendly staff, great food ( beef cheeks and the filet steak were cooked beautifully) Would certainly recommend Grants of Castlegate to anyone staying in the area

Our 6th or 7th visit to this lovely bistro in Grasmere, and once again it did not disappoint. A warm welcome on arrival, the staff remembered us from our last visit a year ago! The restaurant had a lovely comfortable atmosphere. The food was delicious. I had the starter of Hummus & pita , my husband had the olives & bread, both dishes were plentiful. For the main meal, my husband had the lamb rack with various veg ...he thoroughly enjoyed the lamb, perfectly cooked! I had the chicken dish which was very good. Ice cream to round off a very enjoyable evening.

Had booked in advance, dined early evening, 22/11/24 food was exceptional, great selection of drinks, made to feel welcome. Only slight niggle was that it was a little cold in the dining room. Would definitely eat there again when in the area.

Loved it ! Service was excellent, wine was great and food was delicious! The manager looked after us very well and all her team were great too !

Great atmosphere - lovely food and service excellent

Me and my husband were in Grasmere this weekend celebrating and wanted to dine somewhere special. We are so delighted with our choice and already can't wait to go back to try something different. My husband is vegan and he said their food was outstanding. Please don't hesitate to book or visit this place.

great atmosphere food was great had the onion soup it was served at the right temperature the garlic bread was freshly cooked and moist. The mains - belly pork and stuffed chicken was cooked to perfection with additional veg and finished with cheesecake and lemon posset staff were very friendly even the chef popped to say hello which was a nice touch

Amazing food and service as always! Visit every time we stay in Keswick, our favourite place to eat out.

Had a lovely meal at The Pheasant on Tuesday evening. (19th nov)were very friendly and the pub had a great atmosphere. Venison bourginion and steak pie were really tasty. Good selection of drinks on offer. Would recommend you book as it was busy at 6.15pm. Best place for food in Keswick and just a short walk from the centre. Will definitely be back when we visit Keswick again. Woul

We had a lovely evening at the Pheasant - we were made to feel very welcome and warm on a particularly cold evening! The food and service were both great and special mention goes to the Lakeland Beef Pie. All in all a lovely evening in a proper independent pub. Thanks for a lovely evening all.
