Reviews in Cumbria and Lake District

Had another lovely meal at the pheasant and have another one booked, we spend two holidays in Keswick every year and always go there because the food is the best and staff are very nice

Never had a bad meal at mezaluna. Staff are lovely, service is great. Food delicious would highly recommend

A really nice building full of character.The food was delicious and reasonably priced,the staff friendly and polite.

Booked dinner based on reviews as we planned to stay overnight in Penrith on route to Scotland. Grants certainly did not disappoint. Not the most obvious location but very central and easy to find, we had booked a hotel round the corner. Interesting menu with perfectly acceptable options, friendly and attentive service. Food was excellent quality and reasonably priced. All in all a really good find and somewhere worth visiting again. Would happily recommend to anyone looking for good food served well.

Lovely meal and great service

My partner enjoyed the roast beef meal. The beef was very tasty but I did not like all the ingredients stacked on top of each other. The roast potatoes had no crispy edges and only just cooked and the veg too Al Dante. Very disappointed, shame as the service was very good , attractive pub and the land lord very welcoming.

Had an evening meal here with my wife on Friday 3rd June. It was truly an outstanding dining experience. The service was excellent and the food was out of this world. We both had the Halibut as we are massive fish eaters and we can honestly say it was one of the finest fish meals we have ever had! It was a thoroughly enjoyable experience and the next time we are in Grasmere we will definitely be booking again!

Mezzaluna is my favourite Italian restaurant in Carlisle. The food is fantastic and the staff are great.

We came across this pub when we did a walk around the fairy steps in April on our way to the lakes, so on a return to the iakes we booked in for lunch on our way. The food is delicious, 1 ham and eggs and 1 salmon. We both then had brownie with ice cream followed with coffee. The staff are great and friendly. We highly recommend

Once again we enjoyed an excellent meal ay the Wheatsheaf. As usual the staff were great and could not do enough to make the night special. The menu is somewhat limited and it would be good to extend the choice or change some of the dishes on offer.

Good food and relaxed, friendly service in a beautiful setting. We hope to be back!

We enjoyed the food served however the service was incredibly slow. A number of people complained. We were told that a lot of walk ins meant the staff were unable to cope.

the food was horrible and the people were too loud

When we arrived we were impressed with this traditional looking British pub and were attended to immediately and shown to our seats. Drinks service was prompt and the waitress took our orders timeously. Unfortunately that is where the positives ended as the food was a major let down. My wife had Scampi for a main course, which she said was OK but the garden peas were rock hard, I ordered the Thai fishcake with Wasabi sauce for a starter and the Beef Madras curry with rice. The fishcake and the sauce especially, were tasteless and the beef curry consisted of stringy, chewy beef with no taste and as far from a Madras curry as it could possibly be. Will not be returning and would not recommend.

Absolutely fantastic, really enjoyed the experience, the food was excellent. We will certainly be going again

Great traditional pub, Lovely food, we had steak pie and a rib eye steak, both excellent . Super efficient and friendly staff, it’s a busy place with a good atmosphere , best to book , we really enjoyed it .

Amazing! Really enjoyed our evening. The food was just so delicious, the staff really friendly but professional and the ambience was spot on. Great place and will definitely be booking again.
