Reviews in Cumbria and Lake District

I cannot fault this place. The owner was extremely good at accommodating us with a dog at short notice over the phone. He came over and asked for me by name to check everything was ok. The food is outstanding and all the staff are happy to help with anything. Well done to all the Pheasant!

Highly recommend, the food was exceptional and staff so friendly! Special thanks to Luke, there was a problem with our booking confirmation but he done everything he could to still get us seated that suited our nervous dog also!!

Good ambience and excellent food, both menu choices and presentation. The cheeseboard with unusual crackers, celery, grapes and apple slices all imaginatively displayed, with our cheese choices was a great finale.

Really enjoyed our meal. Beautiful food and excellent service in a lovely old pub.

Fantastic food in a lovely place with great service and nice atmosphere . Would definitely recommend to anyone

Ate at the Wheatsheaf 2 x nights as we were stopping over. The dinners were lovely - in particular the Steak and Pepper pie were delicious. Service was efficient and friendly despite how busy they were. Breakfast was made to order, good choices - food tasty but think they could be more generous with the portion sizes eg: only 1 x chipolata sausage and 1 slice of toast. Should offer more tea/coffee.

This was our 3rd visit and each time we have enjoyed the food . The staff are friendly and the service is always with a smile . I run holiday lets and always steer my guests here. The pub has loads of character set in a gorgeous little hamlet . Just love this place .

Second time visiting here and it was equally as good. A bit kooky, the staff are absolutely lovely and the chef is a top chap. I had the Kung Po and it was lovely. Dog friendly as well.

Lovely food, great service, really nice little restaurant. Cosy and welcoming Would definitely visit again

Booked Lewis Bistro for my wife and I for her birthday while staying in Grasmere for a couple of night last week. We had a great evening with good food, atmosphere and service! Look forward to getting back at some point.

Good food, good service, good time.

A great dinner this week at Grants, the food is always fresh and good portions. They have a good wine selection and staff friendly and helpful. It’s great to have a local bistro offering modern style dishes in an atmospheric building.

A very pleasant meal - prompt service & very accommodating to my 5 year old grandson . Lovely atmosphere. Will definitely visit again & possibly stay if in the area .

Excellent food in a delightful little bistro with fabulous service. Best monkfish I have ever had and will most definitely be back next time we are in Grasmere. Only slightly negative comment is about the toilets which should be cleaner and don’t do the restaurant justice.

The food was delicious. Really good portions and everyone was happy with their choices. The beef pie, Lamb Henry and Cumberland Sausage and Mash were great! There was one staff member on the night we visited and she did a great job, running the bar and serving the table. Thank you we will be back.

What a lovely find ! This old traditional pub, had a great feel about it. Staff so polite and friendly. Food was amazing. We will most definitely be visiting again.

Favourite restaurant in Keswick ! Great atmosphere, friendly staff and the food has never disappointed. Superb sized portions , high quality food, not just your average pub grub . Will be returning again in the summer.

Excellent meal served by friendly and professional staff. Cosy atmosphere with cost very reasonable for Keswick. Will definitely return on our next visit to Keswick.
