Reviews in Cumbria and Lake District

I booked a table for ten people for my wife’s birthday last night (Sat) and, as ever, the staff and service was superb. Matched perfectly by the quality of the food we had to eat. Everyone in the party were extremely happy with what they had ordered and duly scoffed. Having eaten here a few times, the two of us knew everyone was in for a treat, but I was a little apprehensive about how they would manage with such a large order … I needn’t have worried as everything came out on time, piping hot and delicious. Cheers guys and thank you for making her birthday a great one.

Great pub - friendly staff - excellent food and a great atmosphere!! Will definitely return again - and thanks for a lovely meal

Incredible food - never ever disappointed! Great service and the staff always welcome us back with a smile and friendly greeting .

While my husband enjoyed his fillet steak I had a few issues with my meal. The lamb rump was good but the sauce was far to strong and very salty . To be fair the waiter did offer to have another meal prepared by which time my husband would have finished his meal. The seasonal veg were rather boring, undercooked carrots and over cooked cauliflower and broccoli. The veg and fondant potato did not taste freshly cooked. Staff and ambience good.

Fantastic lunch, food divine, service excellent will definitely be returning

One of the nicest steaks in peppercorn sauce I've ever had!

The restaurant was packed (always a good sign!) yet we enjoyed excellent service all evening. There was a really wide menu and the four of us all had different meals and every one of them was delicious. Great puddings too! This is a real gem of a pub in Keswick and is very highly recommended.

Excellent atmosphere and staff. Each member of staff were friendly,helpful and chatty. Food was amazing and came to table quickly. Will definitely use again.

Excellent food. Especially the duck special and the twice baked soufflé. Great atmosphere and friendly staff.

Having enjoyed dinner here one evening whilst staying in Grasmere, we booked for the following night. The food is excellent, as is the warm atmosphere and efficient service. Perfectly cooked rice too!! We would thoroughly recommend eating at Lewis' Bistro.

My partner and I eat here regularly. The menu changes frequently, fabulous delicious food with consistent quality . Service is welcoming, hospitable and good. The H&F is our preferred venue for eating out .

12 in our group excellent service excellent food we will be going back

Excellent lunch. Freshly cooked and beautifully presented. Very welcoming venue and somewhere we will visit again in Carlisle.

Really lovely early evening meal. The server was polite and knowledgeable and just the right level of attentive! The food is fresh and obviously made to order. Will definitely return.

Fantastic food & great service. All deliciously fresh produce, would highly recommend Adriano's to anyone who loves Italian cuisine. Will definitely be back.

Excellent experience, food of a high quality, very well presented and generous sized portions. The salmon steak and pork belly bites were particularly worth commenting on, they were amazing. Unfortunately we didn’t have room to experience the desserts. A lovely ambiance and we look forward to visiting on our return to Grasmere. Tip. We managed to book using the online facility, worth doing as it was very popular.

5 star!

Cosy traditional pub with log fire. Friendly staff. Good food. Somewhat pricey. (Lunch main ~£20 beer £5.25)
