Reviews in Cumbria and Lake District

Excellent scallops, tomato and mozzarella salad and cheese soufflé. Great wine. Very friendly and attentive service. Decor could do with cheering up a bit though it has a certain charm.

Had a lovely afternoon tea, great service and amazing food! Really enjoyed our experience and sitting outside in the beautiful weather.

Booked online a week before, easy to do and you receive a reminder too. Arrived a little earlier than the time we booked, that was no problem to the friendly and efficient staff. Whilst it was busy, it was mainly outside in the beer garden. Our Sunday lunch arrived promptly with the freshly cooked veg a minute later, that was no problem as the food was piping hot. We thoroughly enjoyed the meal, and of course the pints of Cumberland went down well too. Highly recommend to anyone wanting good hearty, tasty food, at a very reasonable price.

A busy place, but despite being over run the staff couldn't have been more helpful. The food was delicious, with a good selection of both food and ale. Hopefully I'm back up that way again so I can revisit.

Very very friendly staff and lovely food We had chicken Jalfrezi and Chicken in mushroom cream sauce. Both absolutely delicious. I will say the same for the Tyrill beers too. I had the Golden Ale and was invited to try the Stout. Excellent and had to have one to follow. Well recommended. Great community pub.

We were extremely pleased with our meal. The food was excellent quality and fresh. The service was very good and the overall ambiance.

Warm welcome on arrival. Order taken promptly. I started with the scallops which were cooked nicely then my wife and I both had the fillet steak which was a delight. No room for dessert.

Fantastic meal had at the Pheasents Inn. The staff were very attentive and looked after us very well. The atmosphere was great and the food was 11/10.

Atmospheric good real ale plus extensive drinks menu Super food Very friendly and attentive staff

As always, a very warm welcome and an excellent Afternoon Tea.

Quality, fresh and delicious home made food. Staff lovely. We are regular visitors and The Pheasant never disappoints.

Booked a meal, turned up early bang on opening time, but we were able to go straight to our table. Within minutes almost every table was occupied. There was a good variety of food on the menu. My wife opted for fish and I had balsamic beef stew. Both dishes were reasonably priced, and very enjoyable. Service was excellent. We would definitely go back again.

Beautiful food! Would highly recommend

wonderful food and service, we had a lovely night and will return.

The Pheasant is our go to pub to take friends and family for a lovely meal. The service is always warm and welcoming and the food is great, with very generous portions.

Disappointing, I've been going to the pheasant for years and this visit was totally out of character. We initially ordered starters and mains, within a few minutes the mains arrived, I reminded the staff we had ordered starters, which went down like a lead balloon ! We were told that the mains were ready and would spoil if the brought out the starters, eventually the owner came to offer us free deserts or a round of drinks, very disappointing. She refused to prepare new mains to allow us to have the starters and actually admitted that the starters had never been prepared. In the end we had to just forget the starters. The quality of the mains once they arrived was poor with a steak pie which should have steak pieced being 50/50 with mince. All in all a very poor show.

Great service - very polite and lovely. Really beautifully decorated with authentic atmosphere. Will return for the £99 deal for Sunday/Monday stay.

We have enjoyed this pub when visiting the Lakes over the years. We were not disappointed with the food or indeed the service - the young female waitresses all worked hard and efficiently- smiling helpful and running most of the time too! However we felt the tables in the bar area were somewhat close together- not so much from a post covid view but simply because conversations were inhibited due to closeness of fellow diners.
