Reviews in Cumbria and Lake District

Fabulous quality and value Sunday roast dinners in an old world atmosphere. Excellent staff and service.

Excellent service, delicious food and cosy ambience. The perfect recipe!

We stayed at the North Lakes hotel for a spa weekend and wanted a special meal out. Looking at the menu online and reviews we chose Grants and were extremely happy with our choice. Our expectations where food is concerned are high and Grants did not disappoint. Do not let the location or first look at Grants deter you from taking a seat. The taste and presentation of the food was excellent. The service staff were very friendly and attentive. The online booking was simple and the following communication regarding booking reassuring. My only negatives were atmosphere (especially as one of the first diners that evening) it lacked finishing touches in the restaurant itself in decoration and music and crockery (I know modern tends to be earthenware but with such gorgeous food I hate the scraping noise when trying to savour the last bits on the plate). This said, the food and attentive, knowledgeable staff will bring me back!! Thanks for the salmon recommendation x

Cena piacevole con due ottime fish pie e due fagiani un po' duretti, anche se di gusto buono. Verdure cotte rivedibili e un po' insipide. Buona la birra e gentile il servizio. Prezzi in linea con altri pub inglesi, tendenti all'alto.

Always a warm welcome and good was brilliant. Particularly like the range of specials they always have. As ever the fish pie and chicken/ham pie are top favourites! Oh and don’t forget the New Zealand saivvy blanc!! Will be coming back at end of week for more!

Excellent food, albeit my wife’s salmon could have been slightly less cooked for her liking. Otherwise this was a very good evening and you get what you pay for. Very enjoyable! See you again soon.

Small portions,long wait between courses and prices extornshanet.

Great food and atmosphere, shated a cheese board finish was fantastic

We ate with you last Friday. Booked online based on reading other reviews. Really enjoyed our meal, it was delicious. Your pancake wrapped around banana and served so nicely with ice cream, maple syrup and a mint leaf, was exceptionally good! Very welcoming team and excellent service.

Very easy to book on line, excellent food great service would highly recommend

Excellent meal reasonably priced. Good size portions. Staff very friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend going there for a meal.

Had a lovely stay in May 2024 represented excellent value for money. The food was good (especially breakfast) and a good selection of wine. The pub was quiet for a Friday on a bank holiday weekend but the atmosphere hospitable. There did at times seem a shortage of staff and so getting served at the bar (which was not busy) did take a little longer than it should, but the staff were gracious and hospitable at all times. The room was clean and cosy with a great coffee and tea selection. The shower and towels excellent. I would certainly visit again if in the area.
