Fab evening with friends - lovely fresh hot meal Great Service and Prices Will be back a fav go to x

Visited the Horse and Farrier in Dacre twice while on holiday. The food was exceptional, great portions and beautifully presented and cooked. Good choice of locally brewed ales and lager. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. Definitely worth a visit if in the area.

Another amazing last night meal for our holiday in Keswick, at the Pheasant Inn.Service is amazing and the food is superb. We have found the pre booking as been required,as the evening have been busy.

First time visit fantastic food, service and value for money portion size was great we will be back soon, cannot fault anything about the place

Visiting Carlisle for one night and we were lucky enough to find Mezzaluna for our evening meal. Nice atmosphere, very pleasant and friendly staff, and lovely food. I can highly recommend the chicken risotto, and my husband really enjoyed his baked bolognaise pasta. Rounded off by a delicious and simple affogato! Would definitely return on a future visit to Carlisle

I'm fortunate enough to have dined here twice in the last week. Once with a friend and once with a very large group . The service was excellent both times, with everyone in the large group also receiving the personal touch that the two of us did on our second visit. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Good value and service

5 star

Although very busy we were greeted well and looked after very well by the team here. The food was excellent, the service very prompt and the atmosphere very convivial. We will certainly be back.

Been here a quite a few times during our 2 and a bit week stay, as usual the service and food was excellent, a few comments mention slowish service, but the food is cooked to order and piping hot, staff are friendly and the pub welcomes dogs. Will definitely be visiting again.

Very friendly staff very courteous did not feel rushed food was delicious and water explained what it was

We always have a meal here with our 3 children always has been good and service had been great with excellent staff we will see you in a couple of weeks x

All five of us had a lovely meal at the Pheasant. A good range of gluten free food which is clearly identified on the menu. The duck was tender and delicious and the fish pie lovely. Would come again.

Had the traditional Sunday lunch which overall certainly was value for money. With the exception of the roast potatoes, which were not as crispy and fluffy as we had hoped, all the rest was really tasty and the portion sizes were really generous. Ideally we would have preferred a cauliflower cheese option over cheesy leeks, but recognise that as a personal preference. The wait to get the food once ordered was longer that we were expecting, about 40 minutes, but as the atmosphere was really nice and we were in no rush being the second sitting, it just made us appreciate the food more when it arrived.

A hidden gem. Consistently good on all fronts. Excellent food, service and atmosphere. A varied menu with daily specials. Welcoming as a lunch or dinner destination or just for a drink. They always have a good selection of local beers.

Food was hot, fresh and very very tasty. Service was excellent and very friendly.

My rating for food is due to the fact that, sadly, we never got our order. We waited & waited & finally, after 1 hour & 20 minutes of waiting the staff approached us . Our order got lost in the chaos and never made it to the chef. By this time, it was already late to go to a different restaurant. The floor manager, Chris, tried to make it right & offered us food that were already prepared for someone else. We took it as I was already hangry! Our compensation for all the missteps? A whopping staff discount of I think 10% or 15 % off!
