Reviews in Cumbria and Lake District

This was our third time dining at Lewis’s and was as good as it has been in the past. I had scallops and lamb chops, husband had the creamy mushrooms and the chicken pea curry. Our children ordered the arrabiatta pasta from the childrens menu. I know arrabiatta sauce is spicy but I thought it would be toned down for the childrens menu. Unfortunately not. However, the staff were wonderful with overtired (after a busy day) youngest son and offered him a replacement dish. Great value for money, the dishes are very substantial. We’re back in Grasmere in a couple of weeks so I’m sure we will be visiting the Bistro again.

AMAZING, Thankyou

We stayed here for just one night to go walking with wolves on the predator experience. We got the warmest welcome, felt like we was VIPs :-) they had upgraded our room and couldn't be more friendly. The rooms where emaculate, freshly painted and we felt very comfortable from arriving to leaving. Definitely recommend to anyone. Thank you Hope & Anchor ⚓️

Absolutely fabulous food and easy booking process. Reasonable prices for stunning food and large portions. Very well catered for as we were a group of 7. Best place in Keswick for pub food by far!!

Excellent food and service on our recent visit to launch mezalluna,will certainly be returning.

Have dined here many times over the last few years and will admit the experience went downhill a little from our initial impression. However our last two recent visits have seen a noticeable turnaround. Last night the online booking was easy, the service was perfect and the food was very very good. We’ll worth a try if you haven’t been, we will continue to go for sure.

Went for early evening meal with grandchildren, lovely meal and fab service made to feel very welcome and the waitress was lovely with the children, would highly recommend

Our first visit to The Pheasant Inn, great food and service from the staff.

Loved the ambience but the food was the real winner! Fantastic quality and quantity. Thoroughly recommend a visit but make sure you book.

A really enjoyable visit with a lovely savoury afternoon tea in comfortable surroundings. The staff were very friendly and helpful and served an excellent gluten free alternative meal. We would certainly recommend Augill Castle and we intend to return for dinner in the near future.

Excellent small Bistro with a good menu. Quality of food was very good, I had a fillet steak which was as good as I have eaten in a long time. Staff were friendly and attentive without being overbearing. Glad we looked on line before travelling and booked this venue.

We have an evening meal, it was absolutely delicious. My husband had the mushroom and walnut pate and I had the potted shrimps to start. For main I had the burger and the Dahl for my other half, we both had a dessert as we were enjoying everything so much we didn't want it to end. The taste and look of every dish was excellent. The staff were super efficient and all cheerful and so helpful. I would certainly recommend anyone to try it as I am sure they will not be disappointed.

Lovely to sit out in the courtyard garden for pre dinner drinks. Service friendly and accommodating. Food was delicious, fresh ingredients, well conceived combinations. So much better than the pub and no more expensive.

delicious food and lovely service

We wanted to find somewhere different to eat on Saturday, and booked in at Grants, which we had been meaning to visit for some time. We couldn't have made a better choice! The service was excellent - friendly without being over-familiar, slick and professional, and service timing was spot on. The food, moreover............. absolutely marvellous. I can't remember the last time we had such a delightful meal. Neither of us could find a single thing that could have been improved. We are fortunate in the Penrith area to have a lot of very good restaurants, and up until a few years ago delighted in the cuisine of the Sharrow Bay, now alas closed. I'd say Grants was well set up to rival our memories of that world famous Hotel, and we shall be visiting again as often as we can manage

On the hottest day the UK has on record the staff were great. Food doesn’t fail to please. Will be back soon.

We had a superb Sunday Lunch. Great service and a friendly atmosphere.

Amazing food, service and efficiency. Our party had a great evening. Will definitely be back.
