Reviews in Cumbria and Lake District

Hello Preston! (Dave Tierney)I was pleased to read your kind comments, look me up on facebook!(I visited this restaurant many many times :)CiaoGiuseppe Carmine (former Chef at Rastellis)

My wife and I with a famliy friend visited Keswick for a couple of days and were initially guided to Luca's by our holiday site. The first visit was really so excellent with friendly staff and delightful food that we returned the follwing night for a repeat experience, Both were oustanding in the quality of food and service - however more than twice a week would not do my waistline any favours. We look forward to a return next year

Beswick's is a lovely traditional French/British restaurant with good attention to detail. a dying breed in today's climate. Very comfortable welcoming atmosphere the owner is an excellent host! Our food was delightful steak cooked to perfection and my starter of Trout was delicious. Beswicks has an excellent wine list and our Burgundy didn't disappoint. A lovely quirky restaurant well worth a visit.

Love this place! child friendly, big portions, great decor and friendly service. The children's portion sizes would suit and adult! The food is fresh and well cooked and the waiting staff helpful and friendly. Lovely

Brought my parents here, who were visiting from Canada and we all had a wonderful evening. A delicious meal, well presented with a wonderful combination of flavours and excellent service. Thank you all.

Jolly good food in pleasant surroundings. friendly staff and a wide range of drinks and ales at reasonable prices. Also the pub was obviously well cared for as the tables were kept clear and the pub was a credit to the management and staff. Well done!.

Great little cafe. Good food, lovely atmosphere. Excellent lasagne, soup and gorgeous icecream. Child friendly but busy! Fair prices too. We will return.

We stayed at the hotel the night before my sons wedding, the staff could not have been more helpful, they even supplied a room for the Bride to change into her gown, The food was delicious, and the accomodation was great. Non of us could find a negative thing to say. Thank you again for making a special weekend even better.

Now in my top 5 favourite pubs! Reasons; 1. Rather than a Menu they have "Beer Blotters". 2. Brew their own awesome real ale. 3. It's quirky and privately owned. 4. Great pies. 5. When the landlady was asked for 2 halves of lager to accompany the 2 real ales, she replied "we dont serve that rubbish in here, we are a real pub". 6. Great views of Black Combe. 7. I can walk there from my new house. That is all.....

As the name suggests this Cafe is in a great spot in Broughton square. Their USP seems to be big hearty portions and friendly service. Nothing hip or artisan here but thats why we like it!

OK, the range of Chinese food I can eat is limited to 8-12 items on most menus, however I have eaten in Chinese restuarants in China, Hong Kong, across Europe

We love the Newfield Inn!! It's a great little pub, good honest food (the lasagna is gorgeous) a really nice atmosphere and a warm cosy fire. If you like walking this is the pub to relax in with a pint afterwards.It's our new regular.

Great food service and attention to detail and value for money.

Love this place. Bought lots of foodie goodies to take home and my son and I enjoyed our lunch there too.

Really enjoyed our Garlic Chilli Chicken and Jalfrezi. Service was very friendly. Waiters seemed to know all their regulars and shook hands and had banter with most of them. Lots of complimentary drinks flying about too. Will return.

Well it was 3rd time lucky having tried to book twice before while in on visits to Keswick........and now I know why. The food was outstanding...locally sourced, fresh and beautifully presented with great attention to detail. All this is underpinned by the attentive and friendly service provided by staff from the moment you enquire about a booking until you reluctantly leave this hidden gem.

Great family pub - well recommended. Good food and beer at reasonable prices. Sky Sports and lovely beer garden for the kids. Great place.

What a find! A real gem of a Cumbrian pub nestled in the fells by the Duddon Valley at Broughton Mills. A tiny pub in size but filled with character and many nooks and crannies. We were sat in the front by the fire. Service was good and pleasantly eccentric. Four cask ales and the Golden Fleece from Dent was a cracker. I had the tomato garlic soup which was fresh and made with full tomatoes. Followed by the fish and chips. My wife had pork and chorizo stew which was gorgeous. All our party enjoyed their sunday lunch in a beautiful part of the Lakes. Look forward to eating outside in the summer.
