We booked for a Wednesday night recently as found the restaurant by looking for 'best restaurants in Penrith' while we were on holiday in the area. This is a small, boutique restaurant & has been very nicely decorated & set up. The staff are very friendly & attentive. The food we ordered was superb. We both had the king scallops to start which were perfectly cooked and tasted superb. For mains I had the trio of pork & my wife had the seabass with lobster & crab ravioli. Both dishes were excellent. The local cheese board we shared was also extremely good. We really enjoyed the meal & would not hesitate to recommend the restaurant.

Excellent food and value for money. Nice quaint country pub, one of a dying breed. Staff couldn't have been more helpful. Also dog friendly. Sure we will return

Great bar with delicious food and plenty of great drink options. The pie of the day (steak and ale) was delicious and great price for the amount of food you get. The staff are so friendly and welcoming! Definitely best bar in the Lake District.

As always a delightful evening in this beautiful old pub with a good atmosphere and of course great food. Delicious and not a bad choice for vegetarians.

We enjoyed two evening meals while staying at the Glen Rothay; both were delicious. We had char-grilled salmon - which was so good my husband had it again the following night! - and belly pork, also very tasty. Well above what we’d reasonably expected and the atmosphere in the bar area and the dining room was cosy and relaxed. It was raining for pretty much our entire stay (that’s the Lakes for you!) but if you have to be holed up anywhere, the GR hotel and Badger Bar are definitely the place to be! All the staff were efficient and professional while also being very friendly. Highly recommended.

Found Lewis’ through excellent reviews and decided to have a dinner here with my wife. Food, service, atmosphere and value for money were exceptionally good. Had excellent dishes like: pan fried scallops, sea bass fillet and ice cream combination of several different flavors, all of these were outstanding combination of flavors, erbs etc. Strong warm recommendation for those who want to dine in this lovely restaurant. Reservation highly recommended, as there are limited amount of seats (34 when we were there, according to some reviews only 24), some of our hiking group did not make the reservation and as place was fully booked, had to find another good restaurant. Visiting the beautiful lake district area and having the possibility to enjoy excellent dinner here was an excellent decision.

Had a great meal here whilst on holiday. Fantastic food, Friendly staff and superb service. Loved everything about The Pheasant Inn, wish we lived closer so we could return more often.

Great country pub/inn. Friendly staff, made to feel welcome and the food was amazing. The battered fish and chips was one of the best I’ve tasted in a long time. The size of the fish was huge and it was cooked perfectly. We weren’t rushed and allowed to relax and enjoy our evening even after finishing our food. Highly recommend.

Had eaten here on a previous holiday so booked in advance of our visit. Once again was not disappointed. Lovely intimate restaurant with friendly service & excellent food. As everything is freshly prepared you need to be a little patient but with a bottle of wine to keep us company this was never a problem. Would certainly recommend.

Came to Grasmere as a couple for a break and found Lewis’ through some research and the reviews. My first couple of choices were sold out (a positive as it summarises the popularity and freshness of the food) We ordered the Pork Belly and the Chicken and they were amazing dishes, nice wine selection and a warm, friendly atmosphere. Will definitely be returning!

We had a lovely meal on Sunday evening. Food was very tasty and service was friendly and efficient. We had the beef pie and fish pie, which were very good. The children's menu had a good choice and was good value.
