Reviews in Cumbria and Lake District

Food and service both amazing, lamb was cooked to perfection.

My cousins and I had a gorgeous meal here last Saturday. The atmosphere was pleasant, the staff friendly and knowledgable about their food and wine. We all enjoyed our meals, altogether a fabulous little restaurant in Grassmere. We would definitely recommend it.

We visit the lakes from Northern Ireland as often as possible and we always ensure we visit the pheasant more than once during our stay, as the review states top marks in all areas it really has to be on your list to visit, you will not be disappointed, food amazing and plenty of it, tastes is 2nd to none, staff are brilliant and very welcoming you are made to feel like it's your local pub, it's dog friendly so our springer always comes along with us. Looking forward to our next visit, please look at the website to book in so you're not disappointed if there's no space.

Our neighbours and we, came on day after reopening, for dinner and a catch up. Each of us chose different mains from the mains, and we’re each wowed by the taste and quality of the offerings. Much different and more exciting than more standard pub fare otherwise locally (which is also good and hearty). But this menu is a step up, and stands out. Thank you. Oh! We then had dessert (boys ordered spoons). Absolutely delish (fyi honeycomb, lime sorbet, cream ice, as components to main item) We paid £75 per couple in total (incl service which we added as not auto included - that’s style. ). Thanks again.

Food and service were incredible. Will definitely be back next time I am in Keswick and already recommended it to family visiting later in the year.

This is a lovely country pub with great service and even better food. We enjoyed one of the best Roast Beef Sunday lunches we have ever had which also included a perfect Cauliflower Cheese. Every part of the dinner was perfect! Good wine selection, great local coffee and well kept independent Cumbrian real ales. The service was friendly and our table had lovely views!

Lovely little traditional pub. Sunday lunch excellent - full marks for food quality and portions sizes. Staff were friendly and attentive. Will visit again.

Second visit in 2 months. First for a birthday celebration at the end of December - great food for all of 5 of us from the Fish and Chips, to the Cobb Salad, and the Daily Pie Special - all were really pleased. Second visit on a Sunday with a limited menu because of Sunday roasts. Beef roast was ok; half a chicken roast wasn't - more of a quarter chicken leg plus thigh; cumberland sausage small but tasty; bubble and squeak awful to the point of unedible. Advice - steer clear of Sundays unless you want the beef roast - every other day of the week great food.

Lovely evening at Adriano's, friendly, welcoming and happy staff. Possibly the best plate of olives (presentation, quantity and quality) that I've had. Tasty and fresh mains (1 x pizza and 1 pasta). Highly recommend this restaurant!

Another amazing meal, this time with friends from Yorkshire who had never been before, we had an amazing night, fantastic food n fabulous service. Your very lovely lady that is front of house, (sorry I forget her name again) just made our night, she is worth her weight in gold xxxxxxx

First time visiting Pheasant Inn. Will definitely return. The best lamb Henry portion I’ve had in the Lake District melt in the mouth meat taste of whole meal absolutely phenomenal. We managed to clear our plates only having early done a 14 mile walk allowing us a little wiggle room to squeeze in a mighty portion of a dessert. Service was 2nd to none staff really friendly and couldn’t do enough for us highly recommend Pheasant Inn

So disappointing. Orders were taken promptly but had to wait about an hour for the food to arrive. Had to ask for steak knives to tackle the roast beef and could hardly cut into my roast potato which was rock hard. We left most of the food on our plates. Will not be back.

We had a lovely meal they have a fabulous interesting menu There's something for everyone. The staff are very attentive great service great place would recommend

This is a super restaurant in Grasmere serving great food Nothing seems too much trouble to ensure complete satisfaction. Fabulous

Food was great, but we were let down. We took our young children at 4pm after school and the music was highly inappropriate, with the word “bitch” and “fuck” being shouted over and over again, in one song.

I genuinely can not have a Pizza anywhere else, great quality, worth every penny, service always fantastic, very good selection of drink, look forward to my next visit.

Great food, relaxed atmosphere and friendly competent service. Thank you.

Celebrating my partners birthday at the pheasant was a wise decision. Excellent food friendly staff couldn’t do enough and even paisley our mastiff was welcomed. Highly recommended place to dine and drink
