A return visit to Penrith last week and we again picked Grant's for our evening meal. Lovely food on a small and select menu. We weren't disappointed in our choices and the wines were also exceptionally good. The restaurant is really worth stopping at if you're passing through the area.

Excellent meal, friendly staff, highly recommended

We were a large family group including one child and we couldn’t have had a better evening!! The food was wonderful, so tasty and served so quickly. The staff went out of their way to be friendly and helpful and the atmosphere was really relaxing and laid back. We all enjoyed our meal( including our vegan nephew) and would thoroughly recommend a visit!! In fact, we hope to return when we’re next in Penrith.

What can I say except we enjoyed every mouthful . Hard to choose from the menu as it was full of such exciting choices.

A ‘must try’ place in Penrith! Whenever we travel up to Penrith we always visit Grants. The food is excellent & staff warm & friendly.

Excellent visit to grants at Castlegate. We were up visiting my mum who has recently moved to the area and decided to try grants. The staff are superb, very polite and tend to your every need. The food was delicious, served hot and really quickly. We will 100% go again! Thank you to everyone we had a wonderful evening

Amazing steak pie! They don't serve them often, apparently (the owners were well known for their pies when they used to run the Cross Keys pub in nearby Carleton), but they do occasioal Pie NIghts at Grants so it's worth looking out for them!

I visited here with my boyfriend whilst we were on holiday in the Lakes. We thought the food was fantastic and thoroughly enjoyed our meal and wine. The team who looked after us were very friendly and attentive. We will defintely return if in the area.
