Reviews in Cumbria and Lake District

We enjoyed our two meals at Lewis's. The food was cooked well and portions were reasonable. Something on the menu for both of us. The staff were friendly and service good. One personal reflection was that the choice of desserts didn't quite chime with the nature of starters and mains. While sticky toffee pudding is popular and I can see why it would be on the menu, the other selections were also very sweet and heavy eg treacle and lemon curd tart, eccles cake with treacle (theme here?) cheesecake and chocolate cake etc. Perhaps less treacle?

Excellent restaurant, our waitress was lovely and very helpful. The portion size was large which we appreciated after a day hiking. Everything was beautifully cooked and we had an excellent bottle of wine. Would highly recommend. Will definitely return here in the future.

Took my daughters here to eat as part of my belated 60th celebration. We had a fantastic time. The service and the food were outstanding and really made the night memorable and special We would all go back again when in the area - thank you

The service was excellent and the staff were excellent and very friendly and the food was very good

Friendly staff, quality food at affordable prices and prompt service. This was our first visit and we are already planning our next one.

Fabulous find. We booked last minute and can’t fault it in any way. Highly recommend the food and ambiance,

2nd time here. Atmosphere still good. But owner was not cooking and my sea bass was a totally different dish to when he was. Sauce poured over the fish making the skin soggy not crispy as it had been before. Supposed to be served with samphire but only a minute amount a teaspoonful. Other vegetables on the plate very soggy. Lobster sauce not very pleasant. So disappointed as had really been looking forward to the night based on our first visit. Also dead flowers in the window boxes not a good look.

Lovely fish dish, and excellent cheeseboard (i had the blue, the smoked, and the brie). White wine was really good too

Lovely atmosphere and really attentive staff. Nice choice of food and wine and I picked a great steak. Expertly cooked with great chunky chips. Fantastic and great value for money. When back in the area this will be on my list for a return visit.

Delicious food. Great service and atmosphere!

Our food was amazing, the staff were so friendly and polite. The only issue we had was a large group of people were that noisy, myself and husband couldn't here ourselves talk, neither could other guests. They were that loud I didn't realise there was music playing. We would have ordered dessert but it was way to loud. I understand people come out to have a good time and a laugh. But they were that loud it was unbearable to stay.

Excellent meal yesterday evening. Good service, tasty food and pleasant surroundings. Food portions not too excessive either so left feeling full with empty plates.

Lovely meal as usual been to the Pheasant several times and the the service and food is always top draw.

Had an amazing meal here...Stopped in a highly rated hotel for a few nights in Grasmere and decided to try somewhere different to eat on our last night, wish we had found it sooner!! The whole experience was brilliant and far superior to the food in our 5 star hotel. Will definitely be returning and more than happy to give this 5 stars.

Had a great meal. The food was lovely and the staff were very attentive

An excellent afternoon tea, thoroughly enjoyed by my wife and I. Lovely savouries and delightful cakes, scones and lots of jam and crram. All served by great staff in a wonderful setting. Highly recommended.

The 4 girls that were working when we visited on Monday 11th June were literally running everywhere to try and keep up with the orders! They were amazing under very stressful circumstances. There were irate customers complaining about not being able to order food and in all honesty I think the management need to take a long hard look at themselves rather than leave the youngsters to try and front the complaints. There didn’t seem to be any senior management around! The food was excellent when it arrived, but the young staff deserve better support!
