My partner and I visited on 28th January 2026 and had a most enjoyable evening. Both the food and service were excellent, definitely worth dining here.

Wow! The best food we have eaten in a long time. The staff were friendly, food was 10/10 and we really enjoyed our evening, will definitely return!

We had a really enjoyable meal. The staff were very friendly making a really lovely atmosphere. Starters, mains and dessert were all excellent. Definitely a place to visit when in Grasmere.

There was 9 of us for a meal. I had scallops and garlic bread to start. The sauce with the scallops was beautiful. I had lamb rump for mains and this was lovely. Lots of vegetables on offer. My husband said he would prefer more choice of steak (so he could have a bigger one!). He said his chips were lovely as well as the peppercorn sauce but his steak was more medium well than medium but he didnt mind this. Everyone said they really enjoyed their meal. Service was great even though they were really busy. Drinks were lovely but we only had wine and draft beer. Desserts also great, I had sticky toffee pudding and my husband had cheesecake which he enjoyed. Could not fault it and would highly recommend.

Starters, mains and deserts all served promptly and presented perfectly and cooked to perfection. Couldn’t have asked for anything more, hope to go back one day.

Lovely meal at Lewis Bistro to finish our holiday in the Lakes. Great menu, food and service. Will definitely be back on our next visit.

Great food, good service & no heating, we were freezing! We have been visiting Grasmere for over forty years & the cost of dining just keeps rising. Today we are now paying above average prices for just an appetiser never mind the main course & the owners don't even heat their restaurant; am I missing something?
