What a perfect Sunday lunch Lovely traditional pub setting in village just off the A66 near Penrith Beautiful tender roast beef served with tasty vegetables which had been prepared with the same attention Perfect Yorkshire pudding Couldn’t manage a pudding but had to share an affogato
Horse and Farrier – PenrithTwo excellent meals on consecutive nights. The soufflé was outstanding and the specials on both nights were inventive and well executed. Staff were super, friendly and helpful. The chef is very talented.

La Mezzaluna – CarlisleFirst time at sage and vine and was very impressed. The food was delicious ( but we ordered too much lol) . The service and staff were excellent. It was really busy and the only drawback was that it was extremely noisy-so chatting was really difficult.
Sage and Vine – CarlisleEnjoyed the food and pub, thank you
Greyhound Inn Cotehill – CarlisleExcellent meal with attentive service. Food superbly cooked. Had steak and chicken both beautifully presented. Quite expensive but worth it!
Grants Of Castlegate – PenrithStayed in Grasmere for the first time and decided to eat here. Food great. Very nice vibe. Would highly recommend booking to eat here.
Lewis’s Bistro – GrasmereWhat a great place!! We had a wonderful dinner outside during the great heat wave of 2026 and it could have been a better evening. Delicious wine, a great setting, friendly service and yummy food. Highly recommended and not a thing I would have changed!
Lewis’s Bistro – GrasmereFirst time at this menu and I cannot praise staff and quality of food ..11/10...top job..defo re visit
Pheasant Inn – KeswickA little gem of a restaurant, with a warm friendly atmosphere. It was pleasing to see the menu had a great selection of gluten free options. The food was freshly prepared to order a was certainly worth waiting for and good value for money. The staff were welcoming and attentive throughout our visit. I would advise booking in advance to avoid disappointment.
Lewis’s Bistro – GrasmereThe food was very tasteful and ‘just right’. All of the staff were brilliant. A pity we don’t live in this area and can be frequent customers.
Horse and Farrier – PenrithThey have Old Peculiar, which I haven't tasted for nearly 50 years and I may be back to taste it. I will not comment on the food, since we will not be eating any more of it. The staff are lovely, funny, lively and helpful.
Pheasant Inn – KeswickNicely presented Bistro. Staff a bit off hand. Food ok but my lamb rump was over cooked and the carrot purée was a mere smidging whilst the drizzle of jus was a smothering. Think for me was the 20% service charge. No one pointed this out they just asked if I wanted to add 10% tip on top!
