Great food, well priced for the area, which us no mean feat! Three niggles: 1. We explained food intolerance issue for two of us on the booking form but this was totally ignored. Usually this issue is picked up at the point of welcome and discussed but, here, there was nothing. We instead chose items that we thought wouldn't present a problem, only to be faced with the offending foodstuff! At that point we reminded them of the problem. It's a tiring issue to deal with so we don't eat out much as a result and really appreciate staff looking after us. Note to self - continue to be active in making a fuss about the problem on arrival! 2. We had the second dining slot at 8.30. Don't arrive before then as there is NO room to wait with a pre-dinner drink. Nor are early arrivals welcomed! 3. The restaurant is tight on space and you may share your table within breathing distance of your eating neighbours.

Our annual visit to Keswick and we always have at least 2 meals at the Pheasant and always book well in advance. On the Saturday night it was incredibly busy and there was quite a wait for food but it was certainly worth waiting for. The Venison Bourguignon was great as was my wife's vegetarian option. On Wednesday we both had Lamb Henry with chips rather than mash. Another great meal. Suberb chips and vegetables and on both occasions neither of us could manage a dessert. Staff were very friendly, especially the man who was waiting on and sorted out a table for a couple with a baby and offered to help them carry out their own highchair after their meal. Also liked that they sent confirmation email after I booked online and I also got a reminder of the booking the day before. Best meals of our holiday. All in all, faultless. Thank you. See you next year Pheasant.
Pheasant Inn – KeswickThe pub was busy and so service was slow. When we got our coffees they were warm at best. When our meals arrived which was quite a bit later, I found the fish batter too greasy for my taste but my husband enjoyed his ham, eggs and chips although the eggs were not runny. Also a tad expensive in general
The Wheatsheaf at Beetham – MilnthorpeReviews about the beef pie were right. Great meals and deserts and it felt like we had a really good dining experience. Will be sure to return next holiday.

Greyhound Inn Cotehill – CarlisleAmazing food, absolutely outstanding. Fabulous service, if a teeny bit slow but it looked a tiny kitchen and it was, not surprisingly, very busy. A little expensive but it is a tourist hotspot so expected. With that in mind it was value for money. Lovely little restaurant So good we went back the following night. Make sure you book in advance as we saw people turned away all the time we were there!
