Reviews in Grasmere

Food quality AVERAGE, nowhere as good as 2/3 years ago. Menu LIMITED with less choice than previously. SERVING staff initially off hand ( new person I guess) but improved and were pleasant as the meal progressed. COST quite high. Would be acceptable for a top class dinner but nowhere near that. FACILITIES - gents toilet did not flush properly and the wc was scruffy. I reported the flushing issue and was advised it was a common problem. There is better food in Grasmere, and similar quality at lower prices.

Good quality food and atmosphere. Had meant to try the restaurant on previous visits. Glad we came this time. Pork Belly and steak dishes were both delicious and generous portions too. Good to see locally sourced food. They were very aware on allergies - good to see. Would recommend.

We came for my birthday. Starters were lovely especially my halloumi which was simple but well presented and delicious. Unfortunately my main course was the opposite. I ordered the beef fillet stroganoff with rice and greenbeans. I did not expect the beef to be an intact fillet as I wasn't asked how I wanted it cooked. The fillet was well done ( I would have requested medium rare) , the rice was an obvious mush so I left most of it, and the vegetables of broccoli and carrots were overcooked. When asked about how we were enjoying the meal I did say that I hadn't expected the fillet to be wholeand that for me it was overcooked for which I received a brief apology and was brought some sugarsnaps when I mentioned that there were no beans ( again overcooked). I forgot to mention the rice but it was evident at the end that I had left most of it. Had the restaurant not been so small and intimate I would have made more of a fuss as I felt that my meal was definitely of a poor quality and at the very least we should have been offered some kind of discount. I left feeling extremely disappointed

Excellent food, friendly helpful staff. Lovely atmosphere , will definitely be back

After making an advanced booking online we arrived to find that the vegetarian menu had been altered from the current menu, not updated online til very recently, so the choice had been minimised considerably. We were left in a position of having to find a meal elsewhere on the evening, which wasn’t ideal.

We booked to go to Lewis's for the 2 night's that my husband and I were staying in Grassmere. Food was excellent, staff were very efficient and welcoming. No complaints at all. Tip - top We'll definitely be booking on our next visit.

Cosy, friendly restaurant with good choice of menu and efficient service. Chef did excellent job given that the kitchen is very compact!

Lovely warm welcome. Delicious food and lovely, buzzy atmosphere. The most generous and tasty cheese board. Would definitely recommend.

2nd visit, called in this time last year. Great food, simple menu with choice for all. Service superb & extremely friendly. Superb vibe throughout. Best of all, dog friendly…..sit anywhere. We'll be back next year if not before.

Food was excellent, I found a new way to serve beef stroganoff which tasted superb. The staff were very attentive and made us feel very welcome. It has been two years since we were last here and all was as good as we remembered.

Great food, super service, nice ‘buzz’ in the restaurant, reasonable prices. What’s not to like. Well done team.

Fantastic food in a wonderful location. Staff even allowed us to sample how hot the curry sauce was before deciding if we wanted to order. Would definitely come back next time we are in Grasmere.
