This was our first visit to The Wheatsheaf set in picturesque Beetham. We enjoyed a lovely lunch and received excellent and attentive service from Tanya and Lucie. Our visit couldn't have been more enjoyable. Thankyou
The Wheatsheaf at Beetham – MilnthorpeGreat food, Great service.
Lewis’s Bistro – GrasmereFirst visit to the pheasant on Sunday Lovely Sunday lunch plenty of meat and cheesy leeks were delicious. Pub had good atmosphere lovely roaring fire in the bar visited as a couple 1 dog staff very pleasant did think it was tad pricey but we were in the lakes £17.95 for Sunday lunch £8.95 dessert would def return though think we bit out of touch with prices x
Pheasant Inn – KeswickMelt in the mouth lamb shank and highly recommended cheeseboard and thunder and lightning dessert. Service friendly and helpful. Fab every time we come . Thank you
Lewis’s Bistro – GrasmereWe generally enjoyed our meal at Lewis' Bistro. The food was well cooked and very tasty. (The lamb, which my husband chose was 'fantastic' apparently!) In addition our waiter, a young girl, was absolutely delightful. Our only reservations were, first, the price - the food here is expensive, especially as portions are not over generous! ( My monkfish portion was quite small, even for me and I don't eat 'big' amounts) Our other reservation is that we were given a table right next to the door, which meant we were periodically cold, and far too close to another couple, so there was zero privacy. ( We eventually started just chatting to them. They were very nice but it wasn't what we'd planned!) I think we would have had a better overall experience if we'd sat elsewhere and tables had been less crammed together. However, we still judge it to be a 'good' restaurant .. and would go again!

The Wheatsheaf at Beetham – MilnthorpeFood was not as good as usual only just warm, went as couple for my birthday put upstairs with the large noisy loud party of people, spoilt it for us. Rather disappointed with it all
La Mezzaluna – CarlisleExcellent meal with a really friendly atmosphere and an independent look
Goody Blake’s – GrasmereWe really enjoyed the evening here. The food was delicious, the service was friendly and it was just the right start to our time here in Grasmere. Whoever thought of putting Eccles cake with toffee sauce is a genius! Ridiculously good.
