Reviews in Cumbria and Lake District

Having been with family quite a while ago I recommended that friends & I would treat ourselves to a meal. The chicken they chose was overcooked however they were kindly offered an alternative meal that they chose to leave but were then offered a free dessert. The service was fine

Food was delicious, love the variety on the menu and locally sources produce. Service was good considering how busy it was. Love coming here when we visit Keswick and wi be back again next year!

Amazing food as always. Service was excellent too. I’d recommend to anyone

Amazing food, service excellent

This was our third visit to Lewis’s and, if anything, the food was even better than we’d remembered from our previous visits (the last of which was a couple of years back). I had the fillet steak, my wife had pork belly. We also had some bread and olives to share for a starter. Can’t fault any of it; lovely food, friendly staff, excellent service and a nice atmosphere. Decent value for money too, given the quality of the food. Will definitely be back next time we stay in beautiful Grasmere.

Had a fabulous meal here. The bar staff were lovely and there was water available for our dogs. The meal was top quality and the portion of lamb my Mum had was enormous. I had the duck which was great. Waiting staff friendly, especially Dan. Great night out!

The food was excellent, atmosphere was good, even the dog felt cared for.

Very busy which wasn’t a problem as handled well and professionally. Food was excellent and our whole party loved what they ordered. Drinks were also excellent.

I have been visiting here for years and never disappointed. Lovely food, well presented and nicely cooked. Staff were so helpful and reasonable prices. We will definitely be back.

We spotted that there were a lot of cars outside The Pheasant a few days earlier so took the chance to book. I can see why it is so popular. Excellent home cooked local food and exemplary service.

I also wanted to add that the portions were huge and well worth the money we paid. The service was incredible.

We had a fabulous meal on Sunday. My husband had the Sunday lunch and I had a vegan lagine, and vegan apple crumble and custard, which was to die for! Keith was very attentive and him and Linda made sure that my mark was totally vegan . The place is cosy with an open fire and very clean. I would definitely be back to eat again

Lovely meal, pleasant and attentive staff. The fact that our table was wedged cheek by jowl between two others at the front of the room was a bit uncomfortable. We might as well all have been sitting at the same table! No chance for private conversation.

A delightful bistro with delicious food and friendly staff. And a real bonus - able to cater for coeliacs. Actually made eating out a pleasure. Book in plenty of time as seems very popular.

The food and service at Grants in Penrith were both excellent. Unfortunately the interior decor (only saw the front part of the restaurant) was not as inviting. Needs 'softening' in some respect.

Went for a meal last saturday great meal and great service

Went here for a birthday meal, service was not good. We waited 25 minutes to even order our food and then didn’t receive our mains for another hour. We then had to wait ages for our bill to be given to us, at which point we had to go up to the bar ourselves, which would have been fine if we weren’t told to wait and our waiter would bring us it. Food was okay, my boyfriend enjoyed his pheasant, but the Cumberland sausage was overcooked. Disappointed as this place was highly recommended to us.
