Wonderful food. We were delighted to find vegan and vegetarian options. The butternut and lentil wellington was delicious and accompanied by a variety of vegetables that weren't just an afterthought. The pub coped well considering we arrived just before a party of 30 who had pre-ordered. We were happy to wait until they were served because the food was delicious and the portion were generous. Highly recommended!
The Manor Inn – St BeesA group of us had a fantastic meal there on Saturday for my husband's 50th birthday. The food was amazing and the lady was so helpful in recommending what to order for a large group. Such a lovely place to eat. A great atmosphere and delicious food. We can not wait to return.

Hope and Anchor – Grange-over-SandsRegularly book in for dinner and we always have a great meal. Staff are attentive and efficient and don’t seem to move on! A good sign! The food is varied and seasonal. It is a pub setting with good atmosphere. We bring friends and are never disappointed. Lunch time good too. Parking can be tricky when it is busy

Grants Of Castlegate – PenrithGreat food at this restaurant. Service was excellent and prices were reasonable. Would highly recommend this restaurant.
Lewis’s Bistro – GrasmereWe had an excellent meal at the Bistro. Food was amazing. Very generous portions cooked to perfection. Lovely atmosphere. Friendly, helpful staff.
Lewis’s Bistro – GrasmereDisappointing visit this time. We've always had good food before. Husband had roast beef with one small very thin slice of beef. Watery gravy and two shrivelled roasties brown inside. My food was tasty but not as advertised on menu, not bavarian bread with the pate and normal chips not shoestring with main course. Service was extremely slow and we were charged for drinks we hadnt had on the bill. Good thing I checked it. We heard staff saying they were low on beef but better to pull it when it is finished than give ridiculously small portions.
The Wheatsheaf at Beetham – MilnthorpeFirst time at Grants last night. They did a 2 or 3 course early evening (pre-theatre) menu which was absolutely delicious. Service was excellent. We will definitely go again before attending Penrith players. Perfect evening. So glad we have found this little gem.
Grants Of Castlegate – PenrithGreat evening had last night at Sage and Vine. I was catching up with a friend after months and we couldn’t have asked for a better venue.

Horse and Farrier – PenrithWe have stayed in Grasmere many times but this was our first visit to Lewis's Bistro and we will definitely be going again, the food was amazing and the service also amazing, the Bistro itself had a lovely atmosphere and we felt at home as soon as we walked in.
