Reviews in Cumbria and Lake District

Lovely warm welcome, cozy environment and delicious food. We’ll definitely be going back!

Booking online was easy, staff exceptional and food really tasty. Would highly recommend.

Fabulous food. It's the first time in 10 years I have had gluten free fish and chips, it was a real treat. Great atmostphere, will definitely be eating at the Wheatsheaf again - thank you.

Food was good, some of the staff could smile a bit more and the menus could be better laid out. Also not enough light in restaurant.

Excellent food, beer and service

Delicious afternoon tea in a perfect setting. So cosy by the fire on a windy day. The staff were very friendly and attentive. Lauren was a great help during the booking process.

We booked the music room for a family get together to celebrate the wedding of our son/daughter in law that had taken place in Australia during Covid lockdown. The cabaret layout helped people to mingle and the food was excellent with regular supplies of tea/coffee throughout the afternoon. The venue was perfect for adults and children with the lounge and garden available for the children to play and the wonderful atmosphere of the castle charming everyone who attended. The staff were extremely helpful and attentive. Thanks to the whole team for making this a wonderful and very happy occasion

Date night at Grants was delightful! A long time ago we went after my husband's proposal and the place has kept its charm but improved the food. The service was lovely and food delish!

5 star

A lovely atmosphere, staff helpful and smiling. Hot food selection limited but good. Sunday roast option could be better, but Beef tasty. Sandwiches fresh and tasty. Desserts good but expensive for what you get. Overall a pleasant experience

5 star

Good food and nice atmosphere with a real fire and candles on the tables. Attentive staff - nothing was too much trouble.

Great food & atmosphere after a super walk. Very attentive staff who looked after us. Morecambe Bay shrimps were delicious. My husband loved his Italian bean soup. We both had the pie mash and mushy peas. Delicious. We’ll definitely be returning

We visited the pub for a meal on Sunday 13th February. Initially we were offered a table right in the doorway of the entrance door. The weather was cold, wet and windy so it was a terrible place to be eating a meal. We then were offered a better table in a much nicer area which was practically empty the whole time we were there so why we had originally been offered a dreadful table is a mystery. The food was dreadful. We both had the Sunday roast. Beef and the nut loaf. Both arrived in a pool of watery gravy practically swimming in the stuff. The nut loaf was awful, just a pile of nuts on top of mash and the beef was equally poor. We didn't bother with desert as we didn't want to stay any longer. A thoroughly disappointing meal. We will not be going back.

Excellent service and fantastic food.

Food & service was absolutely fantastic, will definitely be coming back.

Fantastic meals, our party had a mixed selection of meals and we all thoroughly enjoyed it, the staff were excellent friendly and polite and we would highly recommend a meal at the Woodstone Restaurant
