Our first and last nights in Keswick were here and the food here excelled both nights. The main attraction for us was the vegetarian options, that were interesting chef creations and balanced meals, NOT the inevitable burger & chips. Substantial serving of vegetables. Friendly service. It is 'pub grub' I guess and not overpriced gourmet, but is easily one of the best places to eat in Keswick.
Pheasant Inn – KeswickAll I can say is excellent service and excellent food. I have been here a few times and it is always amazing.
La Mezzaluna – CarlisleWe all enjoyed great food, lovely friendly staff.
Goody Blake’s – GrasmereWe enjoyed our visit to the peasant. We had a very pleasant evening. Food drinks staff were all great. We will definitely come back sometime.
Pheasant Inn – KeswickVisited on 2 September, 2 adults & our 4 year old. We ordered the steak & ale pie which was massive & served on a huge portion of chips with loads of veg & lots of gravy. The pie had loads of meat & the meal was lovely. We also had a steak with chips & sides which was also lovely & well cooked. Our 4 year old had fish fingers & chips which was a good size for her. Overall the meal was fantastic. We ate in the room at the front but habe normally eaten in the smaller room by the bar but it was lovely. We've eaten here a few times now on our visits to the lakes & always enjoy it. Lovely relaxed atmosphere. The only downside was that the resident dog Kookie wasn't in on this visit & our little girl loves to see him so she got upset he wasn't there but we explained it was his day off lol. Love this place
Glen Rothay Hotel and Badger Bar – RydalNice relaxed atmosphere and good pub food. I especially enjoyed the very dark meaty gravy on my pie, and had some very tasty "Dizzy blonde" beer. Our dog was welcomed and the staff were warm and helpful.

Pig and Whistle – CartmelWhat a lovely evening from Harry's and the visiting chefs! Drinks outside in front of an open fire, followed by delicious and meticulously prepared food. All in a very congenial setting.
Harry’s Cafe Bar at Yew Tree Barn – Grange-over-Sands5 of us had a very good evening at the Farmers Arms. The food was excellent. The venison was off the menu, but we had the added bonus of live music which was unexpected.
Farmers Arms – Ulverston5 star
Sage and Vine – CarlisleSupper Club night cooked by Simon Doherty, this was probably one if not the best meal , I have ever had. The waiting staff were great, the venue was great, the food was 5 star. If ever there was a winning combination of venue, atmosphere and a quality dining experience then this was it. I would really struggle to criticise anything about it, maybe the loos could do with a refresh, but to be honest I don't care as everything else was fantastic. Well done Yew Tree
