Reviews in Keswick

Lovely food. Staff really good. We always eat here when in Keswick and never been disappointed.

Table for 3. Lovely choice of meals. Very accommodating to one member who is dairy free. All 3 meals were lovely, very tasty & well presented. Staff very friendly and helpful. Portions perfect after a very long walk on the fells. Been before & never been disappointed. Thank you

Lovely traditional pub, friendly staff and atmosphere, food excellent, highly recommended!

Fantastic food, friendly place to go we enjoyed it that much we went back again, will definitely come here again when in the area.

Lovely family Sunday lunch. Great food and service.

The food here is always excellent. We’ve been several times whilst visiting Keswick. A good range of choices, super tasty and fresh. Whether you want something indulgent or more healthy. The menu changes too so there is always a reason to go back (although I love that the works burger stays there!) Staff are also very helpful and friendly. Highly recommended!

Arrived at a busy Sunday lunchtime and so glad we had booked a table. The roast beef Sunday lunch was fantastic and a generous portion too! Highly recommended

Lovely cosy pub with nice fire. We both had the beef pie with chips and veg. Pie was lovely as were the chips. Gravy was loaded with dried thyme which was very overpowering and didn’t taste nice at all. Just hearty beef gravy would have been nicer.

It was a very busy Saturday evening so service was a little slow but the food was fantastic. We would definitely come again.

Wow we were so pleased with our meal. We had the beef pie and the chicken/leek/ ham pie (on the specials board) and it was sooo tasty!

Whenever we are in the Lake District we make a point of going to the pheasant, even when It means going out of our way to do so. Always superb food at excellent prices with a warm welcome, what more can you ask for ?

Been trying to eat here for a while and it was really worth the wait. Lovely food and service for my partners 40th

I opted for this venue after reading many good reviews and it certainly didn't disappoint. Despite it being a weekend at the beginning of half term we were welcomed with warmth and seated quickly. The food was superb and the atmosphere was lovely, unfortunately due to being short staffed, they were closed the next two nights otherwise I wouldn't have hesitated to book for the next evening. I'll definitely be returning the next time I'm in Keswick!

We visited Kats Kitchen on Saturday night it was a lovely experience. The food and the service was fab and Kat even shared one of her recipes with me.

Have been to the Pheasant several times before for meals and always enjoyed it there and recommended it to many people. On this occasion our experience was disappointing. We booked for the reopening night 8th Feb. 2023 and arrived for our allotted time and were shown to our reserved table. This table was probably the worst in the whole pub. Firstly I had to move the table and chairs and a large potted plant to be able to sit down so that should have been a warning but at that stage ok. As the night went on though things became more dire. The table was right next to the staff opening into the bar so as things became busier there was a constant stream of staff mulling behind our table. The cutlery, dishes and other items were all located here so it was constantly noisy. Staff were in and out to collect items, pour drinks, answer the busy phone etc. This completely spoiled the ambience and atmosphere of what should have been an enjoyable night out. Our starters were good but the steak pies we had were spoilt and nothing like what we have had on previous visits. The pies arrived on plates completely drowned in the gravy { jus} so much so, that the pie crust had disintegrated into a soggy mess. The rest of the meal was ok but obviously spoilt by the soggy pie. I know we could have said something at the time but it was reopening night and busy and the staff were doing the best to serve everybody. If we ever return we will make sure that we are not sitting in the small back room at the rear of the bar. As we were leaving and walked into the main area it was a different world. Lovely set out, fires burning, light and airy and plenty of space and atmosphere.

Always a warm welcome and great food.

Loved our recent visits. Very cosy and ample quantities of good British favourites. Make sure you book as it’s very popular.

We had dinner on Friday evening. The food was so good we booked again for Sunday lunch. Excellent quality of food and service.
