About Grants Of Castlegate

Grants of Castlegate in Penrith is a modern British bistro and wine bar with a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. It’s housed in a characterful Victorian building with a small, sheltered garden to the rear. Chef-patron Stephen Tierney has worked in hotels and restaurants in Scotland, London, Miami, Alaska and Australia and he draws on that experience to produce carefully cooked dishes based around the best local ingredients. The menu is vegetarian friendly with vegan option too and as well as fine wines and local beers there is a large selection of spirits and liqueurs, including single malts.  Grants of Castlegate is open for dinner Wednesday to Sunday. They also have a furnished holiday let available if you wish to base yourself in Penrith and explore the local area.

Delicious food, beautifully cooked and well presented by friendly and attentive staff. Over 2 visits, our party sampled meat, fish and vegetarian options for starters and mains and can recommend them all. Rhubarb crumble tart with ginger ice cream is a perfect pud. We'll be back!

Beautiful food with lots of flavours and taste. staff service excellent. We love coming here before going to the theatre close by. Such a luxurious treat at good value prices.

We chose Grants for a pre theatre meal @ Penrith Players because it was recommended on our tickets and as we didn't really know the area we thought we might as well try it. We weren't disappointed! On the morning of our visit I emailed for parking information and Grants replied very quickly and suggested a car park nearby. When we arrived we were greeted by a very nice waitress and asked if we would like the pre theatre menu, our drinks selection arrived in a timely manner and we were given bread & oil dip whilst we made our meal choices. We chose Vodka & Beetroot Cured Salmon and Bourbon & Maple Southern Fried Chicken starters, both of which were excellent in flavour, presentation and portion size. For mains we chose Roast Chicken Breast with Madeira Sauce and Sea Bass with Lobster & Prawn Ravioli both of which again were excellent in every way. We decided to share a cheese board for desert and this came with crackers, butter, chutney, apple slices and three cheeses. The staff knew we were visiting the theatre and made sure that our food was served in plenty of time but in no way rushed. All in all a fantastic little restaurant that we would highly recommend. Looking at the standard (non theatre) menu we both agreed that we would come back for a meal very soon. (For information, our theatre performance started at 7:30pm and we booked our table for 6:00pm)

Very welcoming, and a great value pre-theatre menu (though we only had room for half a pud each after the first two courses). Friendly and efficient service, and plenty of time for coffee before the show. Will return!
