Best rack of lamb my husband had ever had and my steak was really tasty. Waitress was very helpful. Only criticism is that is was so cold inside, especially if you are sat in line with door to toilets, that both myself and the two ladies either side of me had to wear our coats whilst eating.
Lewis’s Bistro – GrasmereWow we were so pleased with our meal. We had the beef pie and the chicken/leek/ ham pie (on the specials board) and it was sooo tasty!
Pheasant Inn – KeswickGorgeous meal and well priced
La Mezzaluna – CarlisleIt was very nice and relaxing there the service was amazing. I had the steak and so did my partner and it was soo nice. I was originally going to have the chicken as I saw it on the online menu but when I came to the actual menu at the restaurant it had been changed to something else which was disappointing. But all in all it was a very nice Valentines evening!
Grants Of Castlegate – PenrithWhenever we are in the Lake District we make a point of going to the pheasant, even when It means going out of our way to do so. Always superb food at excellent prices with a warm welcome, what more can you ask for ?
Pheasant Inn – KeswickGreat thai menu very fresh and delicious
Kings Arms – UlverstonHad a really lovely valentines meal at The General Burgoyne. There was a warm welcome and a high standard of service. The food was amazing. I am gluten free and don't eat meat but that wasn't a problem. We will definitely be paying another visit soon.
General Burgoyne – UlverstonWe visited for a weekend evening meal, real fire, a welcoming atmosphere, and excellent food at a fair price - will definitely return.
Greyhound Inn Cotehill – CarlisleAbsolutely bang on ,as ever. Can't fault them
La Mezzaluna – CarlisleEasy to use website with booking facility. Fantastic meal, lovely food and drink served in the upstairs restaurant and looked after by an attentive and professional Team, great atmosphere and good price. Close to bus routes, local pubs and cinema. A pleasant evening
La Mezzaluna – CarlisleWe prebooked and had the table from 6.15 till 8pm which was plenty enough time. The food was absolutely amazing. We had garlic mushrooms & cheesy garlic bread for starters. For mains the fillet steak and rack of lamb, all of which were cooked to perfection. Portion sizes were fab and the staff were very friendly and attentative in a relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommended and we will 100% be back again!
Lewis’s Bistro – GrasmereFood was nice. The space was fairly empty, despite being told it would be very busy and it was a bit 'soulless' and lacking in atmosphere. We were 'managed' well by one waitress, who was in rather a rush to take our orders. We didn't stay for dessert, as felt they were a bit pricey starting at £7.50. It's always nice to get a wee treat when it is someone's birthday, but none was forthcoming, despite telling the waitress.
Grants Of Castlegate – PenrithBeen trying to eat here for a while and it was really worth the wait. Lovely food and service for my partners 40th
Pheasant Inn – KeswickI opted for this venue after reading many good reviews and it certainly didn't disappoint. Despite it being a weekend at the beginning of half term we were welcomed with warmth and seated quickly. The food was superb and the atmosphere was lovely, unfortunately due to being short staffed, they were closed the next two nights otherwise I wouldn't have hesitated to book for the next evening. I'll definitely be returning the next time I'm in Keswick!
Pheasant Inn – KeswickWe visited Kats Kitchen on Saturday night it was a lovely experience. The food and the service was fab and Kat even shared one of her recipes with me.
Plant by Kat’s Kitchen – KeswickFood excellent. Great pub with plenty of character. Staff very attentive, polite and professional.
The Wheatsheaf at Beetham – MilnthorpeFood was lovely and plenty of it. The service was a tad slow but when staff did come to table they were very pleasant. The atmosphere was good although they would benefit from a mobile card machine, as the bar area was quite full and would have liked abit more room and privacy whilst using my card. It was lovely to sit by the open fire and our three year old grandaughter also loved it too. Always a friendly welcome .
The Wheatsheaf at Beetham – MilnthorpeEnjoyed a wonderful relaxing evening at Lewis’s Bistro.
