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.

Excellent food and service
Sally Clarke
Service attentive and friendly. Food was nicely presented and of a decent standard but overpriced in our opinion for the quality achieved. Our starters were very nice (spiced chicken and souffle) but our mains (slow cooked lamb & cod curry) not quite as good as hoped for. Lamb nice but the gravy was bland and fondant tasteless. The cod appeared a bit overcooked but in a nice sauce. I also personally prefer to see table mats used. Tables without, have a bit of a cafe look and feel about them and this wasn't in keeping with this restaurant.

Superb My wife and I came for dinner and had a great evening. The service was good, the drinks were good. The food was god. All boxes ticked. We have been before, so knew (hoped) what expect. We were not disappointed. We will be back in the area next year and sure to book in. We have also recommended Grants to where we stay.

Gail Longthorne
First time at Grants but it won’t be the last. The food is excellent. I had the cheese soufflé Lamb and sticky toffee pudding. Portions were perfect. My husband had the steak which he is still talking about days later. The service was friendly. The wine was very good. The atmosphere was relaxing. We don’t dine out much because we are always disappointed as we can cook better ourselves. We were very impressed would certainly recommend. Thank you
