Reviews in Penrith

Whilst a comprehensive review has been posted on Trip Advisor, we would say in brief the restaurant was cosy with a cute ambience, the food exceptional and the Manager Heather was delightful in that she went out of her way for my wife and our friends. A great night for us in this facility.

Nice atmosphere, warm and friendly staff and excellent food. What nicer way to celebrate my 70th birthday!

What a Gem! Relaxed welcoming atmosphere, staff were so accommodating & attentive . We had the most wonderful meal last Thursday , all fresh & well cooked even desserts were home made absolutely delicious. Without a doubt we will be back.

Great atmosphere, fantastic food, we will certainly return when we are in the area.

A big hut that serves average fare at over average prices. Take your own food and drink when visiting the falls.

Great and handy place to stay in Penrith. The best thing about it is the excellent Italian food!

I've not had a Sunday roast for ages and never usually go for pork if I do. So it was a real treat to have one at The Greyhound in Shap. Very tasty and filling after our hike up Harter Fell. The place has had a refurb and looks great. Rustic but contemporary. Beer was good too!

Superb family run restaurant/pub, there italian dishes are out of this world. Please try this place, you wont be dissapointed. Steaks are 10/10. Great local atmoshere, reasonable prices for quality of food, good varied choices on menu, cant wait to go back,

Dropped in here for the first time after a walk from Aira Force around Gowbarrow Fell (incidentally the most stunning views along the length of Ullswater). For somewhere so out of the way, The Royal had an extensive and interesting menu as well as cask marque ales and accommodation.

Dropped in here after a windblown walk on the fells above nearby Patterdale. It’s got the feel of a lodge in the Canadian Rockies with a huge panorama window making the most of the view and a barn-type interior. Only had a couple of drinks and sandwiches but the service was friendly and the food good. I think they have bedrooms here too and a campsite close by.

My friend and I had a lovely lunch here on the way back from Scotland. We were very impressed with the food and ambience. Recommended

We have just had a beautiful Sunday roast. Starters were full of flavour and well sized portions. Children’s menu again boasts a well sized portion, excellent quality and value for money. Much nicer than some of your “branded” pubs serving food. Excellent value and quality food! Thankyou for the lovely welcoming atmosphere! Beautifully decorated pub full of character and history

Booked in here tonight for a table of 7 people . The table was reserved but no cutlery ,condiments etc in place . We asked to set up a tab as we knew we would be having a few drinks ,food etc but were told that we had to pay as we ordered . After one drink they ran out of ice , the meal came after a lengthy wait ( only two other tables occupied ) the adults scampi of which we had ordered two of varied from 6 pieces of scampi to 9 pieces whereas the child’s scampi at1/2 the price had 5 pieces on it !!!!!! We had to ask for cutlery,salt,pepper and sauces . There were no beer mats, no glasses cleared despite the table being full , they then asked if we wanted puddings before they had cleared away plates . Definitely a real let down and will not be returning again
