Reviews in Cumbria and Lake District

Food was lovely, staff lovely, atmosphere lovely. And bonus the dogs where welcome too. Couldn't fault the pub. Everyone was so friendly and portions were very generous. It was nice to chat with family whilst we were on our holiday. I highly recommend this pub We will be back when we come back to the lakes.

Great, friendly service, good atmosphere. Catered for my Gluten Free dietary requirements no issues.

We were recommended the Wheatsheaf by friends and were glad we went. The staff were friendly and efficient and the food was good pub food that had a bit more zing! We share are food, swapping plates halfway so we both get to taste the others choice. I ordered fish and chips as were near the sea - a good sized piece of fish, though the chips were a bit less generous, but all delicious with proper homemade tartare sauce to top it off. My husband had the salmon with oriental coleslaw. The salmon was cooked to perfection and the slaw was the zing that lifted it with flavour. Puddings were delicious - apple and blackberry crumble and chocolate brownie, both with vanilla ice cream. The staff oiled the wheels of a good spot by being friendly, attentive and helpful. All in all, I would recommend the Wheatsheaf as a place to go.

Very nice atmosphere very good service and excellent food.

Recommended this place by a couple of people who had been before. On the whole a lovely experience, friendly staff. Very dog friendly and both mine and my husband’s pies were really tasty. However, I really do have to say one thing…. Please, please do not advertise “creamy mash” at an extra £2 to other potato options when it was only rustic mash with lumps and certainly not smooth creamy mash. Sorry guys but this really was the only thing that let the meal down.

My No 1 favourite restaurant. Great atmosphere, superb food, lovely staff and delicious food. Well done to everyone in creating this fabulous venue.

Great local pub with fantastic food, hence very busy, so booking early essential. Warm welcome from staff and good selection of beers and wine. Prawn starter was amazingly good and recommended. Really tasty main of beetroot bourguignon and pheasant.

Exquisite food, real treat, fabulous menu, beautifully presented and taste. Great service, new favourite place.

What an amazing find! We were looking for a convenient city centre location as we were dropping our daughter off at the station and this was really handy. But much more than that. It was superb. The service attentive, the ambience pleasing and the food itself absolutely outstanding. We had a variety of sharing plates and each one was distinctive and delicious. Thank you for a brilliant meal!

Excellent visit asusual

Delicious food in a cosy pub. We pop in here whenever we can. Thank you to all staff.

A really enjoyable night with good friends fabulous food and great service. Just perfect!

Booked up last minute following a recommendation from a friend. We arrived 15 minutes early and were very surprised how popular the restaurant was, and we were given the last available table. The waitress was very friendly and attentive. The food arrived very quickly because the other guests were either eating or had finished their meal. We had a bottle of wine, and although it was a little expensive it was very good. Overall, we had a nice time and enjoyed the meal and wine, and we will definitely eat there again next time we are staying in Grasmere.

Amazing staff felt welcomed and relaxed straight away, very attentive and the food was lovely and arrived quickly.

Great service and lovely food. This is the third meal that my friend and I have had here and we’ll definitely be back again next year.

Came here to celebrate my daughter's birthday on Tuesday night. The place was full and what a fab atmosphere. Had a great night, staff were lovely and food was amazing. Not one negative thing to say will definitely be back soon.

Very tasty food, lovely friendly service. Highly recommend and I will be back.

Lovely food and excellent service
