  “Amazing we came here once before and we always remember how gorgeous the food was so we came back again on our next visit to the lakes and the food was beautiful again! The Christmas cracker and chocolate mints with the bill was a lovely touch too. The staff are lovely and friendly and always smiling, the pub has a lovely warm cosy feel. The steak pie is the best we have ever had. Thank you”

  “We enjoyed a delicious meal here on our last night in Keswick. We wanted some local Cumbrian food in a traditional pub setting and this was spot on! It was a short walk from our hotel in Keswick town centre and absolutely worth it. We both very much enjoyed the beef pie - highly recommend. Our only niggle was having to pay extra for mash if you're not having chips or new potatoes, not sure why this would be but either way we enjoyed it. Nice veg selection too. We also indulged in desserts which were delicious - chocolate brownie and a sticky toffee sundae. Great portions and so good to have homemade, traditional food. If we're ever back in the area we will definitely visit again.”

  “Busy food pub, with a good range of Jennings beers. Evening food is in 2 sittings, best to book for the early sitting”

  “I was pretty disappointed with our meal here as I'd read so many lovely reviews and we really wanted a proper nice country pub meal. My partner ordered a medium rare rib-eye steak (£30) - I know rib-eye can be fatty but this particular piece was extremely fatty and the non-fatty parts were cooked on a level of rare to blue. When we mentioned it to the older waitress she said "ooooh it looks great to me, I love a good rare steak"... Not a particularly helpful or clever comment since he ordered it medium rare. I will say she did offer to flash it back through but my partner had cut it up so much trying to find edible bits that he didn't really think it would do much good. He then ordered a pudding and the waitress made a comment "Wow! He's made room for dessert after all that" which felt like a weird comment since he'd left most of his main meal. The chips were pretty poorly cooked too. I ordered the sausage, mash and veg which was okay, the peas tasted very dry but overall it was okay. A little disappointing again as we'd read such good reviews. To give the manager some credit, he knocked £4 off the bill but given we'd spent £75 (two main meals, one pudding and two pepsi max) it didn't really feel like much. We would however like to praise the young waitress who said it was her second shift. She was very polite and we could tell she was nervous but she did a great job.”

  “Wonderful pub, with food that absolutely blew our minds. We had Homemade venison bourgignon, with fresh veg and chips. Then sticky toffee pudding. All hearty, home made, large portions, delicious. Very attentive service. When you think of a cosy pub with amazing food after a long walk in the lakes this is exactly where you want to go. One of the rare genuine local treats in keswick. We have found that a lot of the pubs have gone to ready made meals rather than fresh so this was a real gem. Will be returning on our next visit to the lakes.”

  “Booked in to the Pheasant Inn for Sunday Lunch. We arrived 30 minutes early and our table was ready for us. The pub was busy, but our food order arrived in a timely fashion and was very good Will visit again when next in the area.”

  “Well what can we say about this place. The food was truly amazing. 1st night I had the chicken leek & bacon pie not my normal go to but so glad I did as it was excellent with its sauce and perfectly cooked vegetables. 2nd night I had the steak and that was also cooked to perfection. My wife opted for the steak both nights and said she had never had a steak so good. A fab place with great service and a fab beer to wash my dinner down with. Cheers will certainly be back when next here.”

  “Went here for dinner with my brother. We showed up to a full packed restaurant, with barely room to move. Servers got us a table quickly, and got us drink in no time at all. Food was incredible. We got two cups of soup( Stilton and broccoli, so good) for an appetizer, and some shrimp. The shrimp were good but not world class, soup was world class. For dinner, I got a staked with the green peppercorn sauce. It was amazing! Seriously the sauce was game changing. My brother got the fish pie, and he insisted it was excellent. I’d go back next time I’m in town, and would consider a special trip to dine here.”

  “Simply delicious food! On an off chance we found this place after a hike and we couldn't be happier that we did. This dog friendly, traditional style pub restaurant has amazing food, particularly the pies, and a little dog menu as well. All at a fair price for the top quality meals. The staff were all friendly on arrival and throughout. We will visit again on our trips to Keswick.”
