Reviews in Keswick

We came after hiking Blencathra, visiting from the Isle of Man & Cheltenham. We are fussy with roasts - especially having a veggie in the group. This was the most incredible roast ever. Creamed leeks to perfection, the most beautiful array of carrots!! Roasties, Yorkshires, gravy, even mash all amazing. Veggie wellington was insane (and that’s coming from someone who doesn’t like mushrooms). Presented beautifully too. Meat absolutely perfect and cooked how you want. The loveliest, cosy village atmosphere to have a drink and a laugh. The nicest waiters who sang happy birthday to one of our group. We will absolutely be coming back for our next trip! Thank you!

When visiting Keswick we always call in at the Pheasant and are never disappointed Old Peculiar on draft is excellent We had the Pheasant and black pudding for main and it was really good Sticky toffee pudding is the best I have had anywhere The Staff were very polite and were interested as to where we were from We definitely be going again Till the next time CHEERS

The restaurant became quite cold as the fire reduced. Our main meals were so very hot we could not eat them for ages, meaning our veg on a side dish got cold. My fish pie was on a serviette on the plate, the waitress explained this was to stop the dish of the pie from slipping from the plate. Unfortunately the dish was stuck to the serviette & far too hot to lift it off. I prefer my food all on one plate & able to eat the vegetables with the main dish. We decided not to have a sweet of Apple & Gooseberry Crumble with custard in case it too came red hot. We have eaten at the Pheasant a few times with a group of friends & enjoyed it. Sadly this was our 38th wedding anniversary and we were disappointed with our food on this occasion.

Tasty and reliable, as ever.

Fantastic meal in a real cosy pub with great staff

Pre covid dined here 3 or 4 times a month. They then had issues and stopped going. Seen recent positive reviews and decided to book an evening meal. Could not fault food or service. Good value. Will book again.

We had Sunday lunch here, service was good, food was tasty and cooked freshly.

Really friendly staff and lovely food. The open fire in the bar was excellent after a cold walk. We had the Scampi and the Fish pie.

Proper pub; real ale; real fire; excellent home cooked food; excellent service. Best pub food in Keswick.

Good to find a chef who is willing to cook a steak as I like it _ not red in the middle. So many chefs refuse to do so, and do not get return visits.

Absolutely fabulous meal

Warm welcome. Cozy,friendly atmosphere. Food amazing. Great choices. Reasonably priced. We had cumberland sausage & meatfree wellington! Which was so tasty. Good portions too. No room for pudding, but they looked yummy. Maybe next time? We have rebooked already! Thankyou

Lovely food - very well cooked and presented. Attentive staff - cozy fires - great music over the speakers- dog friendly

Food was delicious and very generous portions. The best sticky toffee pudding we’ve ever had! Great atmosphere and the staff were lovely. Our only complaint is that the chairs are a little big for the tables. My husband and I struggled to get our legs under which meant we were a bit uncomfortable during our meal. The pub was very busy so didn’t see another table to move to.

We booked a meal for Mikes birthday. Very friendly staff made us very welcome. Mike had chips eggs & ham. I had the fish pie. We had initially planned on ordering starters however, the main meals are a big portion! Therefore we ordered from the main menu. Very good value with plenty of choices. We really enjoyed our visit & planning to visit again soon. Good selection for allergies including GF.
