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.
Pheasant Inn – KeswickA lovely Sunday dinner,excellent food and presentation,staff were really nice and friendly,all set in a relaxing atmosphere, will definately return as we are quite local,many thanks
The Wheatsheaf at Beetham – MilnthorpeExcellent Sunday Roast!!! Family of 6 all very happy with their choices from the Nut Roast to Roast Beef. Will be back again soon. Thank you
The Wheatsheaf at Beetham – MilnthorpeDuring our trip to Ambleside we happened upon Lewis’s Bistro. What a find! Fantastic food. We had the steak and the lamb, however DO NOT MISS the STICKY TOFFEE PUDDING. Our server was a local lad with an hysterical, dry sense of humor and a cheeky smile. The entire experience was top notch. Treat yourself!!!!
Lewis’s Bistro – GrasmereFood was good and well presented. Service was very efficient possibly slightly too much as main course came out almost as soon as starter was cleared. Meals on pricey side. Billed for an extra glass of wine, amended when pointed out, but shouldn't really have happened as on two of us and only 4 drinks consumed.
Lewis’s Bistro – GrasmereWonderful little bistro that allows dogs. A real treat as we normally have to eat in pubs. The food was divine and the service was excellent. When they found out we'd just got engaged they discounted our bill. A really lovely gesture as they didn't have to do that. Would definitely return when we're next in Grasmere.
Lewis’s Bistro – GrasmereGreat food and service as always and met our request for space by the table for a pushchair. Nothing was too much trouble thank you and we will see you again later this year. Highly recommended 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

La Mezzaluna – CarlisleI can honestly say the only “fault” with this restaurant is that they are not charging enough! The food was delicious and extremely fair priced! best Italian in Carlisle I couldn’t recommend this enough if you’re visiting or fancying a meal out! The staff were extremely helpful and even entertained my child and kept her busy! The food was fresh and brought quickly, will definitely be returning! Thanks for a lovely experience guys! Xx
