1st night in Keswick, and we had to come back to the Pheasant Inn. We came across it last year on our last night, and we had a fantastic meal, so we said we would come back whenever we're in Keswick. Tonight didn't disappoint. Great ales , great food and fantastic staff who can't do enough for you. It was really busy as usual, but the food came out after a short wait. It's dog friendly in the bar area too .We Love this place and will always return. Best place in Keswick.
The Pheasant Inn is a traditional pub/restaurant with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. We were a party of four visiting for a meal on a busy early Sunday evening (booking definitely recommend). The service was attentive and friendly. The food is very tasty and we would have no problem recommending our choices which were, Mediterranean Risotto, Cumberland Sausage and Venison bourguignon. They serve evening specials in addition to the main menu. There are vegetarian choices and the pub is dog friendly. Would definitely recommend.
I don't normally write reviews but felt compelled to do this.
We are on holiday in the Lake District and ate dinner tonight at The Pheasant.
The food was truly remarkable. It was beautifully cooked and the portions very generous. The staff were very attentive without being pushy and lovely to chat with and the surroundings were very homely.
Family all had Lamb Henry whilst I ate the venison. Sticky toffee pudding to follow.
If you're in the Lake District you must eat here. Quite honestly, by far the best meal I've eaten out in a long time. So good we re- booked for tomorrow!
Wonderful dining experience; although booked to capacity our main courses were served piping hot within ten minutes of ordering. I would personally recommend the Lakeland lamb served on baby spinach, with a rosemary & cranberry jus .......... heaven on a plate.
The dessert of lemon posset with shortbread was nothing short of spectacular either
Book ahead, and if possible park on the opposite side of the road to the pub (although spaces are limited).
They were all booked up, unsurprisingly, but there was room outside on the terrace so we took it. I was told we are very busy, food may well be 30mins.. it arrived in 10 to 15mins I reckon, although I was not watching the clock, and it tasted great. Very generous portions and great value for money. Would definitely drop by again when I am next in Keswick.
Delicious food! Great choice in the menu. Great value for money friendly staff. Good location just bit hard for parking near the pub. Good choice of local ales and other alcoholic beverages
Good portion sizes with home cooked food! Highly recommended this is a place to enjoy with family and friends !
Went for lunch after bumping into Landlady Michelle elsewhere the day before. Had a very tasty pie (proper pie with pastry all round!) and some very well served beer 🍻. Went back for dinner last night and had another pie, followed by a glorious Pavlova for pudding 😋
Great friendly staff with a warm welcome, food was perfect and prices was reasonable. The steak was cooked to perfection. Great atmosphere with a roaring fire for a cold autumn evening. Been many times before and cannot fault this pub. Best in Keswick. 10/10
Booked a table as we suspected it may be busy. Arrived to a full restaurant but was greeted warmly and politely. Chose from the vegetarian options, and was not disappointed. Amazing dishes served piping hot & in good time. Polite staff, excellent wines & great atmosphere. Highly recommend the Wellington or the risotto - best I've ever tasted. Happy customers!
Great little pub with a lovely homely atmosphere. I've been here numerous times now and always walk away feeling satisfied. The service is pretty good, but a smile now and again from the servers wouldn't go a miss. Over our time visiting this place we are seeing the portion sizes shrink, and costs rising. £8 for a dessert is quite expensive for what you get. But overall a great 4 star rating
