Reviews in Penrith

Food and service great thanks again

We ate there last night 30th October, the food was excellent. The staff were very attentive, knowledgeable and friendly. The atmosphere score was not a 5 as it was a Wednesday night and most customers were leaving as we arrived later in the evening. We will definitely dine there again in the near future it is well worth the 40 mile round trip

We had a lovely meal at the Queens Head. We had a drink in the bar first which had a lovely ambience and atmosphere. The restaurant was delightful with the food and service being top quality. Recommend booking as it is very popular.

We had a fantastic evening on the 25th October. The service was excellent: very friendly and efficient. The food was amazing. I had the scallops to start followed by the fillet steak and finished off with the raspberry mousse. All 3 courses were superb and the steak was one of the best I have ever tasted. I would highly recommend the restaurant.

Restaurant was lovely and cosy and warm , very relaxed . good choice of wine and the food was exceptional. We really enjoyed it . The staff went above and beyond and really cared and we felt so welcome . Looking forward to our next visit

Grants of Castlegate is a spectacular restaurant. The service is impeccable, the food exquisite, the service second to none and the atmosphere warming. For any occasion whether dinner or afternoon tea Grant's is the place to go. We will be going back.

Grant's of Castlegate is a spectacular restaurant. The service is impeccable, the food is excellent and the atmosphere is warming. For a special occasion or just for Afternoon Tea, this is the place to go.

Excellent food and service. We felt really welcomed and catered for.

The food and service at Grants in Penrith were both excellent. Unfortunately the interior decor (only saw the front part of the restaurant) was not as inviting. Needs 'softening' in some respect.

A very good meal, tasty, well cooked and well presented. Minor point was a little too much salt in the creamy mash for my palate. Atmosphere is pleasant but touch Spartan. However, excellent value and we will return.

Awesome food, friendly, fast service, relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. Stephen even gave us a lift home as we were the last customers, as he was passing our hotel on his way home. We would definitely recommend. Thank you Darren & Kathryn

Stayed for 1 night after revisiting my childhood driving around some of the lakes, this suited me, room was very nice, food both PM and the breakfast was very nice, staff very friendly, very much recommend and and come stay again

Really nice food I had the Fillet Steak and my wife had the pork both where very good. The restaurant just lacks a bit of ambience but staff and food excellent.

Our meal at Grants of Castlegate was a special end to a memorable day. I had proposed to my girlfriend - now fiancé, phew - earlier in the day. I had emailed Grants the night before and asked that they mark the engagement in some way. When they brought the desserts out, “Congratulations!” was written in sauce on each plate. It was a lovely touch that went down very very well with my fiancé, so a massive thank you to the team. Better than that was the food though, it was beautiful.

Absolutely amazing food with plenty of choice , warm and welcoming staff and lovely atmosphere
