Reviews in Keswick

Excellent service and well presented food, good choice of real ales. Just the place to have our wedding anniversary lunch

Above average pub fare , with wide range of choices and some quite adventurous options. Hardly 'gastro' in my view. Generous portions with proper potato and vegetable sides. Pastry on pie[ lovely steak filling!] was heavy and soggy, however. Waited quite a while for mains to arrive. Service team pleasant. Average prices for Lakeland, though better value and quality for the money than many outlets locally.

Great atmosphere, friendly service, good range of choices and delicious hearty food.

Honestly, I wasn't going to bother leaving a review, but I had an email promoting me for one. This is probably the worst meal we've had in Keswick, accompanied by mostly terrible service. I'll try to keep it brief. Partner ordered Chicken Supreme from the specials menu for £21. Served slimy chicken thighs and bland sauce. Son's kids meal was 2 chicken nuggets and literally 5 chips. He's 8 years old and complained constantly. Had to cook him more food when we got back to our lodge. My 'Lamb Henry' was a mixed bag. The lamb itself was delicious, but the "creamy mash" was a squashed, lumpy new potato without any creaminess whatsoever. It took 1 hour 10 mins from ordering to receiving our food, and we were stuffed into a corner with barely enough room to move. When we complained about the meals after, the waitress said, "I wish you had told us sooner", but at no point did anyone come over to check to see if we were happy with our meals, and the couple of people running about looked completely overwhelmed. After waiting over an hour, you just want to eat, not have them go back and start again. I'm sure you understand that. They did knock us £11 off our bill, which was a nice gesture, but I genuinely feel that even the £60 we paid in the end was very bad value for the quality of the food and service received. We'll definitely not be going again.

Cosy, friendly and busy pub. Food was good and plentiful with fresh vegetables included. Service excellent as well. Good idea to book in advance.

Excellent early evening meal. Go for the traditionals, beef pie, venison or the fish pie. Vegetables very good, fresh, just cooked, red cabbage especially good. Don’t leave without trying the sticky toffee pudding

Real lakes pub Great menu Fab service Proper atmosphere Lovely

My partner and I had an excellent Sunday lunch at The Pheasant. We both had the lamb henry which came with superb seasonal vegetables and an excellent sauce. We were provided with superb and helpful service throughout and were extremely impressed. We have booked for Christmas week but will return before then. I cannot recommend The Pheasant highly enough.

Came here for Sunday lunch and we were not disappointed. The roast beef and chicken were brilliant and service was great. We ended our meal with the sticky toffee pudding and it was one of the best we've had! Highly recommend! Definitely worth the walk in the torrential rain!

Me, hubby and our cocker spaniel Max ate Sunday lunch at The Pheasant yesterday. Food was delicious, service was great and the staff were friendly, warm and welcoming. Would recommend x

Sunday lunch at the Pheasant was superb. This was our first visit and we both had the roast beef Sunday lunch. The food was extremely tasty and thebportion size was very generous. Well cooked meat with plenty of additional veg and the yorkshire pudding was half the size of the plate. We even had a side portion of cheesy leeks thrown in with the meal. The staff were so polite and ensured everything was ok with the food. Such a warm welcoming and we felt very comfortable as we were not rushed even though they were very busy.

we had dinner at the Pheasant last Saturday. Our reservation was honoured at the appointed time at a table in the main dining room as requested. It has a cosy but lively atmosphere. Service was excellent: staff quickly took our orders for drinks and food. The menu and drinks list are extensive. My three course meal was superb and I think that the rest of party thoroughly enjoyed theirs. When delivered at the end of the evening, the bill seemed quite reasonable for such an enjoyable evening.

Absolutely delicious meal. Generous portions and tasty too. Friendly staff and lovely atmosphere.

Superb Sunday lunch Eaten hear dozens of times over the years holidaying in Keswick Had a break for 5 years and holidays in Yorkshire Dales However returned this year and the meals here are by far the best we've had anywhere Very very tasty. Good portion sizes. Lovely presented.

4th time we have visited and yet again exceptional service and food would give eleven out of ten drinks as well can’t wait for next visit recommend to all
