Reviews in Cumbria and Lake District

Visited Sunday 5th Oct 2025, for lunch. Busy. Food superbly cooked, portions were generous.

The pheasant inn is a long established pub in Keswick with a good reputation, very busy at times, but a plea to the serving staff please give people a chance to sit down and enjoy a drink before being harassed for your order. It would also be beneficial if you comment on the meal or the price that staff accept your comments and don’t come up with counter comments to suggest that you were wrong in your views.

Wow, not only was everything first class and tasty, when leaving we struggled to get a taxi and the weather was garbage , the manager offered us a lift back to campsite, that’s what I call going that extra mile!!!

We've never been before. We booked prior to our holiday and we were not disappointed. The food was outstanding, the service was good. Even on a busy night the staff still had time to check if everything was OK with our meal. They even had a doggy menu.

Great pub! Fantastic food, excellent service and a cosy traditional atmosphere. To be recommended.

Amazing food! The Sunday roasts are delicious and so are the desserts. Great selection of local ales.

First time here on Saturday fab place fab service fab food just go for yourself and see how right I am

Lovely meals and wine selections. Both the red bream and the pork were excellent. Very enjoyable and highly recommended.

We eat her often and the food and service are faultless if you have never eaten here before give it a try you will not be disappointed and you will be hooked the house wine goes down a treat very nice friendly staff and the chefs are highly praised they get full marks from me and my friends

Amazing as always

One of our favourite places to eat in Penrith. Friendly, efficient service coupled with delicious food and a well balanced yet not overly busy menu makes for a fantastic dining experience. We like to try and eat here at least once a month. At this visit I had the Soufflé to start which is divine, followed by the mushroom cobbler. This was a random choice by me and it was bloody lovely! The carrots were cooked to perfection and were very tasty.

Second time here. We will return soon. Nice and cozy place for dinner/date. Welcoming and generous staff. The service was excellent. For the food quality, can't complain about price, it's just right. For those who appreciate italian dishes, you can pick blind folded, you won't be disappointed. Thank you for making our date special! (Again)

We had such a lovely evening at Adrianos! The food was fantastic – everything was fresh, full of flavour, and beautifully cooked. The service was excellent, really friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere was warm and relaxed, perfect for a date night. Definitely one of our favourite places to eat in Carlisle – we’ll be back soon!

Excellent service in a charming relaxed atmosphere. All three courses were delicious especially the raspberry cheesecake.

Warm welcome as always, all the staff are so friendly and welcoming. Always the most beautiful food and quick service. We come as regularly as we can absolutely love it here.

Food very average, probably wouldn't bother eating here again.

Here in Cark on holiday We always eat at the Hope and Anchor with its extensive menu and lovely food The staff always make us feel welcome
