Reviews in Keswick

This was my second time at the Pheasant and we were disappointed . Urgency to order drinks before getting a chance to look at the menu - three requests from waiters in the space of several minutes . Food under whelming . Pastry on the beef pie was thick and quite wet . Chips looked and tasted like frozen chips and gravy had little taste . Venison was a little better. Prices expensive . Ordered a peroni beer which was priced at not much over 5.00 but paid more on the bill as I was given a pint . Had I known I would have said a small peroni as per the drinks menu . Deserts also expensive . It’s a pub after all. So by sadly doubt we will return .

Second visit but underwhelmed this time . Beef pie had an over thick pastry and was soggy . Gravy lacked taste . Chips tasted and looked like frozen ones . Venison was a little better but not great . Red wine was poor despite the price . Given a large Perini- when I asked for the one on the drinks list so paid more . All items were expensive for pub food . Long wait for food too . Doubt we will be back .

Good quality tasty food with a varied menu and enticing specials. Wide selection of drinks. Cosy, friendly atmosphere and the staff were excellent - very welcoming, efficient and personable. You could tell that they were part of a team who looked after each other and took pride in looking after customers. We will be back!

Always our fave place to eat amazing staff food and vibes never a problem at all

A very enjoyable experience. Fortunately, the wife and I prefer an early evening dinner which was just about available! This is a very busy pub. The meal was pipping hot and there was plenty of it. We are due back next September and will book in for dinner again.

Really good food in a traditional pub. Great service. Can't fault it. Vegetarian roast one of the best I've had. Wish we loved locally - we'd be here all the time!

We have been coming to the Horse and Farrier for many years and it is always lovely to see the same staff members. The staff are always very friendly and attentive and the food is great. No negative comments.

We booked in for Sunday lunch at the weekend, we had a vegetarian wellington and roast beef dinner, the food was delicious, all home made , cooked perfectly, gorgeous Yorkshire, and the staff were so friendly and helpful

Food and service was amazing! Great portion sizes, really tasty food and excellent friendly service. Look forward to another visit in future!

Food was superb staff a delight very efficient friendly and good fun well done

Second time visiting the Pheasant, a lovely welcoming place. Food is excellent service great. We will be back next time we're in Keswick

This was our second visit and it won’t be the last. We had the guinea fowl from the specialist board and it was absolutely delicious. The service and atmosphere are first class and I would highly recommend visiting.

Really lovely pub, food and atmosphere always perfect when I visit Keswick. Will definitely return

Food was delicious. The gentleman that served us was very good. Lovely evening!

Nice atmosphere, great service and really good food. Could not have asked for anything better. First impression was it’s a bit on the pricey side but upon seeing the portion sizes, good value. Would definitely recommend if you’re in the area

Simply Excellent

Nice atmosphere, staff friendly & helpful! Meals tasty & good portion sizes! Have visited several times over latter years - one of our favourite eateries! Doggy friendly too!

We had a lovely time at the Horse and Farrier. The staff were intentive to our needs, and we really enjoyed our Sunday lunch. Even when the pub got busy you could see how hard the staff were working, to make everyone's experience enjoyable. I know from personal experience how difficult it is to work in a restaurants and how exhausting it can be for the staff to work in these conditions. The owner and manager should be really proud of their team. You could see the younger members of the team being guided by the experienced staff and a real family dynamic was being created. This pub has a great future, its is a gem worth visiting to feel apart of their special family. In this day and age that in its self is worth its weight in gold. See you all soon. Take care.
