We 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.

La Mezzaluna – CarlisleWe had a lovely evening at Lewis’s Bistro. The staff and service was great. The food was delicious. The affogato dessert was a lovely idea (espresso coffee, ice cream and shot of your choice with amaretti biscuits) We love Grasmere and will definitely return to this restaurant

Queens Head Inn Tirril – PenrithThe reviews on the website have the impression that good food would be served, how wrong we were. The prawn starter was not too bad, not good , just ok, but the scallops were soaked in grease and had n seasoning. However the main of monkfish was the worst example of fish cookery we have ever experienced. The lump of overcooked fish was congealed so much the fish could barely be separated from the main lump. I have never seen food so compacted due to overcooking, so dried it had shrunk . The pawn sauce that covered it contained frozen diced vegetables, the lumps of dried up baby carrots that had sliced across the middle added nothing due to their dried brown appearance. The piles of new potatoes would have added to the meal had they been clean and not covered in soil in their crevices. To charge £107 was the biggest insult, until the waitress informed us, after she asked for feedback, the food is better on a busy night. Pity we had chided to eat on a night there were only another 3 tables in. This was a birthday treat. To think you charge the same prices as placed such as Kysty in Ambleside is a joke. Maybe spend some time and the money you charge to training staff in cooking.

Pheasant Inn – KeswickFood was great, really tasty. Found portions just right for me. Pie and chips really nice, perfect. Staff friendly and helpful as always. Lovely atmosphere.
We dined at The Queens Head for the first time as we were staying the night. We found there to be a good variety of choice with a lite bite option too. My partner chose the Roast Beef Dinner with a Chocolate Brownie for dessert, the portions were generous and delicious. I opted for lite bite fish and chips, very tasty with homemade tartare sauce. Delicious post for pudding. Highly recommend dining here.

La Mezzaluna – Carlisle80th birthday, ten family members. Loved the table setting. Main waiter great but a couple of younger waiters did upset people with some unneeded comments. Food was very good except the Scampi which was mainly left and the Madras curry which were told was not overhot, oops it was and the meat was chewy, we did complain but nothing was done. Overall we had a great evening
