Friendly, relaxed atmosphere with different types of seating areas available to book a table in. We were happy to talk to other tables and discuss different food options. Vegetarian and meat eater both well catered for. He particularly enjoyed the pheasant and black pudding.

Lewis’s Bistro – GrasmereMy wife and myself had another enjoyable evening at Lewis's Bistro during our recent stay in Grasmere, having visited the restaurant earlier in the year. Delicious fresh, home cooked food in a pleasant and relaxed environment with a friendly and welcoming host and staff . We hope to return to the Lake District early next year and look forward to paying another visit. Advise booking early if dining on Friday or Saturday.
Lewis’s Bistro – GrasmereVery pleasant and welcoming atmosphere. Good choices on menu with slight variations catered for, e.g. chips for mash
The Wheatsheaf at Beetham – MilnthorpeDecent food, service and value for money. Wife had Sea Bass and really enjoyed. I had Steak Pie and only minor criticism was pastry a bit thick in the bottom corner, but really tasty. A bit disappointed that a Robinson's Pub had no hand-pulled ale on.
