Best Italian in Carlisle. Food and service is always great

Absolutely delicious, probably one of the best Italians I’ve ever had (and I have had hundreds all over the world) definitely book, you won’t be disappointed xx

Always a good welcome here and the service is 1st class. The food is well presented, tasty and good value.

Spa and afternoon tea. Really nice place with lots of character. Food was good and we got through three pots of tea! Could consider bigger tea pots?!

Lovely little spot. Food, ambience and staff were fantastic.

Been previousley food and service excellent well worth repeat visit.l

Used the Wheatsheaf for a post funeral meal for 50. Helpful staff before and during the buffet. Coped well with various dietary requirements. Good sized room with ample seating and circulating space.

Not large portions,but excellent quality food.Both meals very good

Booked ahead for a party of 11 people for a Saturday afternoon (food & drinks) and it was faultless! The staff were so attentive and friendly and the food was superb! Not one bad word to say from all of us, we have all said we would love to return again :-) Also very reasonably priced! 10/10

Loved our recent visits. Very cosy and ample quantities of good British favourites. Make sure you book as it’s very popular.

We had dinner on Friday evening. The food was so good we booked again for Sunday lunch. Excellent quality of food and service.

Excellent food. Lots of it plus extra gravy. Proper lakeland pub. Good beers and locals willing to chat. Would definitely go again.

My review is based upon my spa and afternoon tea. This was an amazing experience from arrival to departure, the spa was amazing with all the amenities I could ask for from hot tub to salt rooms to the tropical shower wich was perfect. The afternoon Tea that followed my spa experience was lovely with plenty of choices to choose from. The hotel staff were friendly and more than happy to cater to my individual needs also. Thankyou. Will most definitely be back for an overnight stay where I will follow up on my review of the stay wich I already know is gonna be 5 star from the service I have received on my first visit.

We had an excellent afternoon Tea at the castle and were made very welcome by our hosts. The selection of items on the menu was well chosen and just a little different from the 'usual afternoon tea'. We especially liked the soup in a jar idea. It was January when we visited, so was quiet, but we loved the peaceful ands homely ambience of the castle. We would definitely recommend the castle and the afternoon tea.

It is so hard to find a proper sunday roast nowadays, especially at chain restaurants. The Pheasant is as close to your mothers sunday dinner as you will find. Fantastic food with local ingredients, great service and a top country pub atmosphere.

Had a fantastic meal on Saturday night food was the best I have had for a long time definitely recommend very easy to book on their website.

What can I say the food is just perfection and the bottle of house red I shared with my sister was so smooth the staff are so nice always a warm welcome there is no where else we would want to eat absolute gem of a find it’s our favourite place to eat cannot recommend it highly enough and if that’s not enough so reasonably priced I think we will be eating here forever
