Reviews in Cumbria and Lake District

Love this place. Yet again had a fabulous meal couldn’t have been more perfect. Staff were so helpful and friendly. The only reason I didn’t give a 5 for the “atmosphere” was because it was quite cold in there (but that was probably because it was snowing outside!!)

Great service, fantastic food. Would visit again

Delicious food, beautifully presented. Knowledgeable, friendly and efficient service.

Atmosphere a bit lacking but it was midweek early afternoon, so what can you expect?

Very nice excellent service and excellent staff very helpful in advising about menu

Excellent food in a relaxed atmosphere. Nothing was too much trouble.

beautiful food, excellent service. Would certainly eat their again next time we are in Grasmere

Really lovely small bistro in Grasmere. Everything from the food to the service was excellent. Will definitely be visiting next time we are in the lakes.

First visit since change of ownership. Impressive menu, very good food at reasonable price. We will be back

This is a really lovely friendly bistro with absolutely delicious food and excellent service. We will most definitely return when we are next back in Grasmere, or the lakes and will call in!!

Very clean and comfortable and very spacious. Bathroom is beyond what we have ever experienced. Menu is limited, but however very well presented and very tasty. The castle is very quirky and has great historical features. No room is the same!! The owners and staff are very accomadating. Nothing is too much trouble. The grounds are splendid and plenty of walks to explore. The poetry trail is one. Anyone that can explain them, I would love to hear!!! Overall a wonderful experience and stay.

This was our first visit - a Friday evening. Much to be recommended and we shall definitely keep it near the top of our regular eating-out list.

Put quite simply you have to book to eat here, we live in Keswick and booked a taxi to make life easier (the wine is also exceptionally good) and wouldnt hesitate to return again (this was a return visit as well!) The service is brilliant, the food is sublime, the atmosphere I love, small enough to be intimate busy enough to not be intrusive. Perfect. Thank you all.

Highly recommended, great selection on the menu, staff is very friendly and the food is delicious , we will be back.

A lovely friendly bistro with delicious food and excellent service. We will definitely return when we are back in Grasmere. Thank you

Had a lovely meal here and the scallops, sea bass and rum & raisin rice pudding were delicious. The staff very very pleasant and helpful with good level of interaction. Certainly worth a visit

Booked a table here for 7 o'clock . Arrived and the restaurant was busy . Ordered black pudding , chorizo and mushroom starter which was exceptional . This was followed by sea bass with vegetables and finally rum rice pudding with raisins and rum and raisin ice cream . Beautiful . Staff were friendly and attentive .

The change in the Pheasant made me emotional. The Inn Collection Group have ripped the soul out of this former genteel haven. Gone are the lounges and character. Its now just a pub restaurant, no longer an Inn. They have introduced the group redesign and furniture even though it doesn't suit this venue. Food is ok, just pub grub now with sachets of ketchup and vinegar at your table at dinner. The service was good and friendly and our room was nice and spacious. However if you liked it before you'll hate it now.
