Reviews in Keswick

Excellent food and service as always when we visit Keswick.

We visit keswick several times a year and regularly eat in the pheasant. Atmosphere, beer and food always first class. Book in advance because you will be lucky if you just turn up. Portions are very generous.

Food was excellent, great portions, service was friendly and kept coming to us on regular basis, only thing we can say was time limit if we weren’t rushed we would of stayed longer but would go back and will recomend thank you all for a good night

Booked two nights with two mates here when staying opposite in a holiday home. What a right choice that was . Fabulous service, a warm welcome and food and drink of a high quality. The fact this place is pretty full on week nights in November says everything you need to know. I recommend you pre-book as doubt you would get in otherwise. Thanks to all the staff last Tuesday & Wednesday evening, great team, and we will be back. Thank you

Excellent food, very good service.

The food, the staff and the ambience were all absolutely spot on. If you are in the area I would highly recommend a visit

The service was excellent from the minute we entered the pub. The guys were super attentive and very friendly. My wife had the Beef Pie which she said was excellent. I had the Fish Pie, which was packed with Salmon, Smoked Fish and Mussels. It also had lots of mash and topped with melted cheese. The only negative for me, was it was a little dry and could have done with having more sauce within the pie.

Excellent meal, good portions and good value for money. Previously wasn't keen on the real ales offered, but this time the selection was great and included old peculiar. Will definitely go back again.

Had a wonderful evening again staff very welcoming food great will be back again

Had a lovely meal at the Pheasant. There was a nice atmosphere, the service was efficient and quick. The portions were large. Good variety of dishes and drinks.

Fantastic service and food couldn’t fault anything.

Fantastic Sunday lunch, cooked beautifully, massive Yorkshire pudding. Piping hot food. Wonderful, attentive, friendly and caring staff. Love this place.

We visited for Sunday lunch and really disappointed. Food was cold and waited over 90mins for it to arrive. Staff were inattentive and ignored people. Quality of food not great and so wouldn’t recommend.

Unfortunately our experience yesterday (2nd November 2025) wasn't our best. We've been coming to this restaurant for over 10 years, when we visit Keswick. The waiting time was very long, as I think our order got lost as we were witnessing meals coming out to people who had sat down way after ourselves. Eventually we had to ask where our meal was, and when it did arrive one meal was not what we had ordered, so I said just leave it and I'll have the beef. The beef was inedible, couldn't cut or chew it. So Unfortunately we had to complain and go home hungry. So disappointed as this has always been one of our favourite restaurants when we come to Keswick. We have booked for midweek on our stay and we shall honour this booking and hopefully our review will change...

Excellent atmosphere with friendly, humorous and courteous staff. Quality of food is excellent with very generous portions. It serves pub food as it should be unlike many of the other pubs in Keswick which can be overpriced and mediocre!

Average for a Sunday Roast. We’ve been here for Sunday Roast for the past 3 years and sadly I would say standards are dropping slightly. The area we were seated in yesterday was draughty, no heating in the room. Service was acceptable. I had roast beef, a quarter of the roast beef I had to leave, as I could not cut it, even with a steak knife…not sure one should need a steak knife for roast beef. Some of it was not hot. My partner had the roast chicken which was ok, however the roast potatoes on both plates were very hard in parts. Sorry, Pheasant Inn, but next year when we come to Keswick we’ll be trying elsewhere. Didn’t bother to complain as my partner did last year about the beef and obviously nothing has changed.

the pheasant inn is the one place we always eat at when we visit Keswick. depending on which table you are at it can be a little cramped as it is on the the small side but it just adds to the atmosphere. the food is absolutely amazing, I have never been disappointed

Absolutely tasty and superb, lovely staff, our 2nd time here and will not be the last.
