Reviews in Cumbria and Lake District

Fab little restaurant. Friendly, helpful staff. The scallop starter was particularly delicious as was the pork main according to my husband. Definitely recommend a visit!!

Fantastic evening meal at Grants. We were celebrating a special birthday and it was the perfect setting for a nice intimate dinner. The staff were friendly and attentive without being overpowering or disrupting your night. The food choice was fantastic and we actually struggled to choose! The soufflé and prawn risotto were amazing and the lamb and pork were also delicious. The black pudding was especially good! The cheese board was great and the baileys roulade was amazing and huge too! We really enjoyed our night and will be recommending you to friends and family!

Our first visit and definitely not our last. The menu had a great selection. The food was fresh and presented beautifully. Staff were friendly and the atmosphere was lively. Definitely a must try.

Really friendly staff, delicious food and beautiful surroundings both inside and outside. Would definitely recommend.

Excellent service, outstanding setting, old world and modern at the same time, beautiful listening to the church bells ringing night before the Kings crowning too.

We had some lovely meals at this restaurant-the service was good and a most pleasurable experience

Great food. The staff are really welcoming and the atmosphere is relaxed. Definitely recommend here.

Visited with family , 6 altogether over the Coronation weekend. Fortunately prebooked as several walking were turned away. Welcome fro staff very friendly, good choice on menu. Good value for money . Food was e collect all plates for all courses were lean at the end. One slight negative, my lamb was over done for my taste, but that's personal taste and I ate it all As we own a caravan on the nearby holiday park we will definitely be back

Great healthy food. Wonderful service, very cute place with a wonderful river view. Loved the lentils and squash and the ragu. Highly recommend if you want to eat veg.

First time we had been. Beautiful village but we were disappointed with the eve. We were sat under the stairs and it was dingy and meant it was hard to catch the staffs attention. We waited a long time for our meal, the nacho starter was good but my main, which was supposed to be crispy skinned salmon was not crispy and lacked in flavour. My partner is vegetarian and was looking forward to falafel burger but they had run out, the other option was quiche which was ok. We couldnt face waiting for dessert. We know it was a very busy special weekend, so we will give it another try.

Went with friends for a meal , absolutely excellent. Great service , excellent food and drink and a friendly atmosphere . It's was always the best restaurant in Penrith and it's even better now . Reasonably priced for the quality of food and service.

Had a lovely 3 course meal on Friday night, the staff were very friendly and efficient. They also cater well for gluten free meals.

Warm friendly staff. Great food with plenty of choice. Reasonably priced and very much good value

Reserved table ready and waiting for us on arrival on a busy night. Very friendly service in a reasonably prompt manner. Food choice enjoyed by all members of our party. Will return for a pie and a pint at a later date!

Beautiful food and genuine and friendly service. Best restaurant in Grasmere!

Booked for Sunday lunch. Had the beef (slow cooked medium rare). It wouldn’t be our choice to have the meat pink but it was excellent. Plenty of veg and nice to have something slightly different. Overall it was all delicious. Best roast dinner we’ve had for a long time.

Food and service lovely as always. Friendly and helpful staff, food tasty and piping hot. We always find time to visit Lewis’s when coming to lake district each year.

Excellent dinner experience. Friendly welcome, professional and impeccable service, and superb food.
