Reviews in Cumbria and Lake District

Excellent service and great food.

Delicious way to celebrate a 50th birthday. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff lead by Louise and the food was excellent and plentiful. The whole experience from booking to menu choices was dealt with in a very friendly manner by Louise

I had the roast dinner - vegetarian wellington which was sadly disappointing as it was supposed to be brie, cranberry and walnut but all you could taste was mushroom. The trimmings were all tasty, with the exception of the roast potatoes which weren't at all crisp. The pub itself is nice and the front of house staff were friendly and attentive.

The meal was excellent beautiful food and the staff were so helpful

Enjoyed Sunday lunch at the Hope & Anchor. Staff were great and the Roast was excellent.

We have visited this pub a few times and the food is always excellent and service great but yesterday we met family for Sunday lunch, the service is always pleasant and efficient which it still was but the food was not up to the standard we are used to here, the plates were cold therefore food not too warm and the game stew was lacking any veg and the nut roast could have had a Yorkshire pudding equivalent and then we waited ages for puddings which were coolish again. Really disappointed on this occasion as we love meeting here.

Service was good and food well prepared and tasty. Quality of the food was very good. It was disappointing that the hand pump beers were all unavailable. Quality of the wine could be improved.

Lovely friendly staff who helped make our 40th wedding anniversary meal so special. The food was amazing, nothing but praise from our guests. We will be back next time we are back in the area, highly recommend.

We had a very good meal at Lewis's Bistro. We had booked in advance which was fortunate as the Bistro was fully booked. Food was great, the service was friendly too. Would definitely re-visit if we are in the area.

The restaurant was very welcoming, the service excellent and the food outstanding. A very vibrant place to enjoy an evening out.

The staff went out of their way to make sure they could provide an allergy safe meal for my grandson. The food was very good and he ate it all. The time they gave to make sure he was fed was very much appreciated.

Excellent meal on Friday evening, fantastic quality food, professional well trained team of staff were producing exceptional customer service throughout the restaurant. Which created a tremendous atmosphere and vibe in the building. Well done to all the team.

Good

5* food ! The fillet steak melted in our mouths it was so tender . Lovely small intimate restaurant with very friendly & attentive staff . It will definitely become our regular “go to “ . Highly recommend.

A little gem in Grasmere booked last minute on Saturday- super busy - service was very good despite full house staff were very attentive. Food was fabulous , good choices, excellent quality and beautiful presentation- highly recommended

Fantastic meal. We love this pub and have been many times… Just a shame you have to book to get in as is so popular. Full marks to the chef.

One of the very best places to enjoy a fantastic meal.Wonderful menu choices and excellent service from very pleasant staff. Our 2nd visit here and we will definitely be returning. Highly recommended.
