Reviews in Cumbria and Lake District

We had a lovely family Sunday lunch in this unique pub run by Grizedale Arts. The locally sourced, home cooked food was enjoyed by all of us. We all agreed that the mix of original 16/17th century features combined with contemporary handmade furniture and artefacts works together well to create a very engaging interior. The staff are friendly and relaxed. Highly recommended.

Great night on Thursday quiz night. Vibrant atmosphere and delicious curry.

Lovely meal in lovely surroundings. Staff attentive and polite. A very enjoyable experience. We wish we were local!

Utterly amazing food. Probably the best meal we’ve had in Carlisle. Such a great place for tapas and variety, and cooked to perfection. Staff could not be more attentive and helpful. Our new favourite place! THE best restaurant in Carlisle.

Great service. Very friendly staff and lovely food and drink ❤️

Great service Good menu especially including GF options Lovely country pub atmosphere

Food was lovely, the staff were lovely and polite. Nice relaxing meal with the family

The food was unbelievable, the steak pie is my favourite! I cannot fault the meal at all, although my starter never arrived, it was a blessing in disguise. The most awful part to be honest was the forgotten gift my mother in law to be got us, me and my partner had got engaged that morning. The Pheasant being normally one of our favourite places to eat. She had paid on for a bottle of champagne and some congratulations stuff as a surprise for us, which was not on our table upon arrival. After eating our meal and leaving we got a text to ask if we enjoyed our surprise, she was completely devastated. It was blamed on being busy - which I have seen it a lot busier. I am not sure on whether I will be returning again, knowing you could forget something on such a special occasion.

Food was excellent and catered for several allergies really well. Would certainly visit again

Absolutely brilliant experience. Initial greeting to the food. The cod chunks are to die for. Staff amazing and the owner goes out her way to talk to you. Nice wine and the other tapas was just as good. Will definitely be back. Thank you
