Reviews in Cumbria and Lake District

We have been visiting the Pub since the early 1990,s and have seen many changes in this time. Wonderful location, atmosphere and staff. The food has changed over the years and was ok. Couple of points we would like to make from our last visit, the prawn starter is served with no side salad or accompaniment. The prawns were a lovely flavour but were lonely on there own. The main roasts were served slightly cold, and I asked if I could change the mash for cauliflower cheese and was told flat no. I wouldn’t of minded paying the difference, but no option was offered. These are a few points of feedback, overall we enjoyed our food and visit. The waitress was attentive and the food was served in a timely fashion. There was ample staff to deal with the customers throughout the pub.

Was down visiting parents in workington and booked here for Sunday Lunch, it was fabulous best tasting Roast Beef, proper Yorkshire pudding and Roast potatoes , staff were amazingly helpful, would def recommend you try it well worth it.

Fantastic meal, lovely milkshakes, service great & everything reasonably priced, look forward to going back

Lovely atmosphere, very tasty food and attentive hosts. Well worth a visit, we would definitely return!

Lovely pub - food and beer excellent and staff very friendly. Would definitely recommend

Purchase a Spa and afternoon tea offer. Spa was wonderful, food great but service was terrible. They don't seem to do anything logically, eg when bringing food, taking empty plates back. We had to get up and look for menu to order sweets and when it came to pay there was nobody around so had to ask at reception.

We checked out the website and booked online, which was an easy process. On arrival we were greeted warmly. We were disappointed that we had to choose from a Xmas menu, with very little choice. The portion sizes were small. The turkey was thinly sliced and I've seen similar prepackaged meats in the supermarket. We didn't have a dessert.

Wonderful meal and service. great atmosphere. Will be back.

Great meal again very attentive staff still excellent price

Great meal again very attentive staff still great value for money

We got a good table and the service was as one would hope for.

Service excellent but food average. May return again when less busy in January perhaps. Starter garlic prawns was lukewarm and main veg well overcooked unfortunately.

Excellent last night as always with this venue....we're hoping to return around christmas with the family...very welcoming & lovely food. I had he steak & my partner had the cod....plus starters & desserts....all perfecto

Went to Grants for our Christmas meal, fantastic food and service, couldn’t fault anything. Highly recommend.

Brilliant food and a great wine list. The service was excellent, staff were very friendly and attentive and a lovely atmosphere in the restaurant. This definitely won't be our last visit.

Our 1st visit to Grants last night, will definitely be back, lovely food. Blade of beef was amazing, all very tasty. There was 4 of us & we all had a lovely evening. Staff were so nice.

As always food was top notch, staff are very friendly and attentive and nothing is too much trouble, even down to my request for chocolate cheesecake on Christmas Eve. We absolutely love this restaurant, definitely the best Italian in town!!!
