Reviews in Cumbria and Lake District

Lovely fish dish, and excellent cheeseboard (i had the blue, the smoked, and the brie). White wine was really good too

Lovely atmosphere and really attentive staff. Nice choice of food and wine and I picked a great steak. Expertly cooked with great chunky chips. Fantastic and great value for money. When back in the area this will be on my list for a return visit.

Delicious food. Great service and atmosphere!

Our food was amazing, the staff were so friendly and polite. The only issue we had was a large group of people were that noisy, myself and husband couldn't here ourselves talk, neither could other guests. They were that loud I didn't realise there was music playing. We would have ordered dessert but it was way to loud. I understand people come out to have a good time and a laugh. But they were that loud it was unbearable to stay.

Excellent meal yesterday evening. Good service, tasty food and pleasant surroundings. Food portions not too excessive either so left feeling full with empty plates.

Lovely meal as usual been to the Pheasant several times and the the service and food is always top draw.

Had an amazing meal here...Stopped in a highly rated hotel for a few nights in Grasmere and decided to try somewhere different to eat on our last night, wish we had found it sooner!! The whole experience was brilliant and far superior to the food in our 5 star hotel. Will definitely be returning and more than happy to give this 5 stars.

Had a great meal. The food was lovely and the staff were very attentive

An excellent afternoon tea, thoroughly enjoyed by my wife and I. Lovely savouries and delightful cakes, scones and lots of jam and crram. All served by great staff in a wonderful setting. Highly recommended.

The 4 girls that were working when we visited on Monday 11th June were literally running everywhere to try and keep up with the orders! They were amazing under very stressful circumstances. There were irate customers complaining about not being able to order food and in all honesty I think the management need to take a long hard look at themselves rather than leave the youngsters to try and front the complaints. There didn’t seem to be any senior management around! The food was excellent when it arrived, but the young staff deserve better support!

Food good. Service poor. Three overworked servers struggled to cope with the numbers of diners. Long waits at every stage of the meal Pity - as the food was of good standard and well presented.

The food was lovely tasty and nicely presented The staff were lovely

Lovely lunch, the food is first class and the service very quick and friendly.

Delicious afternoon tea. Lovely, friendly staff. Thoroughly recommended.

Dinner last night and cream tea this afternoon were spectacular, as was the personalized service and gorgeous accommodation. We count ourselves beyond fortunate to have experienced Augill Castle.

What a fabulous Afternoon Tea experience we had at this delightful off-the-beaten track Castle. We had a wonderful time. The food was delicious and plentiful, a lovely quirky change from traditional finger sandwiches, and the staff very attentive. We sat in the grounds in the sunshine and it was blissful. Thank you so much, we will definitely be back.

Me and a friend visited La Mezzaluna on 8th July 2022. We were staying in Carlisle the night before a bike ride from Bowness on Solway to Sunderland in a day. We needed a good hearty meal and the chance to relax before a huge event. We got that and MORE! The food was delicious, I had bread and olives followed by Fusili Campagnola (there is a cycling reference) my friend had Funghi Ripieni followed by Pollo Mezzaluna. The welcome was really warm, but not overpowering. The staff were brilliant, it was a really relaxing evening, they explained everything we needed to know. I had a bottle of red that really complemented the beef and my pal had a pint and a half of Perroni. If you are visiting Carlisle I can readily recommend this lovely little restaurant. There was absolutely no downside.
