Reviews in Cumbria and Lake District

Brilliant place, wish it was near my home !!!

We have eaten Sunday lunches at the Wheatsheaf on several occasions recently and really enjoy them. We find the food excellent both quality and value, the staff are lovely and the ambience in the dining/pub areas is perfect.

Had a lovely Sunday lunch. I chose the small portion which was more than adequate while the male members of our party had a regular portion. The food was nicely cooked. I particularly enjoyed the vegetables which were cooked ‘just right’. All the staff were very pleasant. My only criticism would be the side room lacked the atmosphere of the main bar.

Excellent food and service. Thank you.

I went to the spa and had some light lunch after - absolutely loved the whole experience

Fantatstic, accommodating staff. Very helpful. Food was delicious and supported by wonderful pints of Jennings Cumberland Ale. A real find just outside of the centre of Keswick.

A really nice cosy place to eat, although it’s small you don’t feel on top of each other, food was exceptional, freshly prepared and very tasty, scallops were divine, and I’m not sure how the carrots were done but for me they were the star of the show! I had forgotten to ask on my departure how they were cooked, so maybe on reading this review perhaps you would respond? Delightful experience thank you very much to all involved .

A wonderful find. Staff, food and atmosphere excellent. Will definitely be coming again.

Had a great meal, good value for money and I would particularly like to compliment the staff who were friendly, helpful and efficient

Excellent food and service. Grants is consistently excellent

Booked a table in advance for a small group via the website, good communication on the booking, friendly welcome and great service throughout the night. Food was excellent, really good atmosphere, very pleasant evening.

Absolutely excellent meal, portions very good. Service was super, no rush & friendly. Sure to visit again ndxt time in Grasmere

Great menu, and all meals were thoroughly enjoyed by our party of 8. Staff were very friendly, helpful and accommodating, and we were really pleased to be able to eat there twice in our short stay in Keswick. Excellent all round.

We had a fabulous meal at Lewis's I can't fault the food - it was superb, up there with one of the best meals I've ever had! The service was friendly and helpful too, all requests were met and more! I would not hesitate to recommend Lewis's.

So came in for dinner two nights in a row which I think kind of speaks for itself. Yes there are lots of pubs in town where you can go and get something to eat in the evening but I think The Pheasant just has a few more options on the menu that makes it stand out as a great traditional pub to visit. Oh and the beers on offer are decent too.

Had a lovely meal, great atmosphere, would have booked to go again if we were staying longer. Will definitely be back next time we visit Grasmere.

A really lovely meal in a lovely bistro with a great atmosphere and service. We will definitely be back.

Booked online, table for four, confirmed promptly by email. Lovely homely atmosphere. Log fire. Good selection of beers. No starters due to staff shortages, a common problem unfortunately. Order taken quickly and food arrived quicker than expected. Between us we tried the aged steak and the venison. Both beautifully cooked and presented. Chips were perfect. For dessert we had cheesecake, gooseberry & apple pie and lemon posset. All were delicious. Waiters very friendly and helpful. Only (minor) issue is that, although Wifi is advertised on notice outside as available, they wouldn't give us the password for some reason I couldn't quite understand. Certainly not a deal breaker but as mobile signal is almost non existent it might matter to some. All in all a very pleasant evening. On my list to do again.
