Grants of CastleGate Wine Bar in Eden - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Such an amazing restaurant! Michelin star level, trio of pork and the lamb main courses were sumptuous! Called in for a late booking and it did not disappoint! Will definitely be back next time we are in Penrith! P.S sticky toffee pudding was amazing! If you’re ever in the area, definitely worth a knock on the door/ booking!! Mouthwatering food and drinks, we wanted to eat everything on the menu!

This was the second time we’ve visited Grants, everything we ate and drank was delicious! One of my favorite restaurants I have yet to find a better steak.. The staff were very friendly especially Heather who served us through the night.

Heather the manager was excellent. Food quality was amazing. We had chicken liver starters and sourdough, mains were chicken and steaks that all melt in your mouth. My friend got the hiccups and Heather suggested he have 2 spoonful of vinegar which got rid of them. it was crazy lol. Higly recommend this place. all reasonably priced too.

"We recently dined at Grant’s Restaurant in Penrith, and it was an outstanding experience! The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home. The food was exceptional, definitely deserving of a 5-star rating. Special thanks to Heather, who was absolutely fantastic and made our visit even more memorable. Highly recommend!"

One of the best meals we've had in the UK. At the recommendation of the staff, we had the cheese soufflé and the lamb. Both were sublime. We read great things about the scallops and they did not disappoint one bit. Great atmosphere, exceptional food and excellent service. Dog-friendly too!

Fantastic family friendly restaurant with great food and amazing service. I would definitely recommend.

Excellent food and fantastic service! This is definitely one of our top favorites for the Lake District area. We had the King Scallop and Trio of Fish for starters - both were great. For mains, the Sea Bass with lobster & crab tortellini in bisque was fabulous. The mushroom risotto was outstanding. We couldn’t help but share everything among us 😊. The lemon meringue tart was just the perfect dessert to wrap a splendid evening.

Lovely meal in grants of castlegate. Superb steak and excellent service. Reasonably priced. Couldn’t ask for more

We had a lovely meal only very slightly mared by an electricity outage. The staff were great and we can not fault the food or service. The local electricity company on the other hand let everyone down.

Lovely evening and our first visit to Grants but won’t be the last. Great service and very good food with clean plates all round.

Went for afternoon tea with bottomless Prosecco and it was perfect from start to finish. On arrival we were greeted with our 1st of many glass of Prosecco, the food was delicious and the ladies serving made you feel the most important guests. 2 hours of giggles, great company and dancing. Perfect perfect perfect.

Simply delicious. Everything was excellently prepared and the service was top notch. We will definitely be visiting again!

Saturday evening walk in, staying in Penrith to compete on Graystokes car rally. One of the best steaks I’ve had, no frills, just lovely. Lemon posset for desert. Food excellent , great service. Defiantly return Thank you

It was a Sunday night in Penrith so we were happy to find a place for dinner that had good food. We had a table in the conservatory which was bright and airy. We shared two starters, the scallops and the trio of fish. Both were excellent! Then two orders of sea bass with crab and lobster tortellini over lobster bisque, and a risotto with wild mushrooms and parmesan. Very nice dinner, along with a bottle of white wine. Lemon meringue pie with white chocolate ocean for dessert was also excellent.

Went with friends to celebrate their Wedding Anniversary Absolutely fantastic food,staff & service were exceptional Thank you to Heather & her team for looking after us

Tonight was our fourth visit to Grants. Food was amazing again with the most impressive vegan choices. Service efficient and very friendly and welcoming. Thank you can't wait to visit again.

From the moment we arrived we felt welcomed, the food and wine was absolutely fantastic, Michelin star needed. Will be back.

Great local food and lovely service. Lovely fresh locally sourced ingredients sympathetically cooked to let them speak hastily for themselves. Great wine list to go with the great food. Friendly knowledgeable attentive service. We will be back once you’ve replenished your Limoncello supply !!

Amazing food and service, compliments to the chef and owner for a great menu! Will be back again when we’re next back to The Lakes!

Four of us had different starters, different mains and different deserts. All of us agreed we have never had better food anywhere at any time. We will be back as soon as we can. The atmosphere and service can not be beaten.

Had the most amazing meal for my 30th birthday. Heather and Mike were amazing. Making the time to make sure we were happy and accommodated. We had the scallops to start which I begrudged sharing with my partner as they were so perfect! The steak was the best we have ever had (and we’ve been to a lot of high end steak restaurants). We would highly recommend to anyone and always return when we visit the Penrith! Thankyou :)

Delicious food and nice ambience. But what made the dining experience special was the very friendly and helpful service: our waitress tried her best (and succeeded) to accommodate our change requests.

Food in this restaurant is amazing. Our steaks were cooked to perfection. Enjoyed every mouthful of our starters and the mains. Restaurant is cosy and very romantic. Service was exceptional, lady serving us was very helpful and friendly. Made us feel very welcome and comfortable.

A fabulous menu, the food we chose was excellent, lovely friendly and professional service, one of the best restaurants in Penrith

What a wonderful restaurant, we went recently to celebrate an anniversary and we had a wonderful meal,a warm welcome and good service

Attentive, warm and friendly service from the moment we arrived. Delicious, individually prepared and cooked food, beautifully presented, from a varied, seasonal and locally sourced menu. Excellent wine list. Will definitely dine there again. Faultless.

Me and my dad came for a meal tonight, the food was to die for! Worth every penny! Compliments to the chef and the lady who took care of us was lovely and couldn’t do enough for us! If you’re in Penrith and you want a nice meal this is the place to come! I recommend the scallops and steak personally! Will definitely be visiting again 😋

Grants never disappoints . The food is delicious and the staff friendly and efficient . Have had a fabulous evening and will def be back .

Fabulous food and service. This is now the fourth visit we have made here (whilst stopping in Penrith the night before checking into centre parcs!) and we love coming back. The vegan options we were offered were delicious and well made as well as the vegetarian options and meat options. Happy customers all round! The staff are always extremely friendly and the service is top notch. Thank you!

Very good evening at Grants. The food was excellent along with great service from the staff. I had 3 courses all of which were up there with some of the best food I’ve eaten.

A fantastic 4 course meal to celebrate a birthday. Every dish was exquisite and the service was equally good. We would recommend this restaurant to anyone.

A great dinner this week at Grants, the food is always fresh and good portions. They have a good wine selection and the staff are friendly and helpful. It’s great to have a local bistro offering modern style dishes in an atmospheric building.

This was the second time my partner and I had visited this cute little local restaurant. It is an absolute hidden gem. Heather and Tracey (sorry if I spelt your name incorrectly ) were fantastic hosts, offering detailed guidance on the menu, which was really helpful. The menu is fantastic, offering something for everyone, but at the same time keeping it simple. We ordered starters, mains and also desserts. Our food arrived and all I can say is wow, the presentation but more importantly the taste far exceeded our expectations. It is not often I am left speechless. My taste buds were ignited with each mouthful of this delicious meal. I can honestly say that the quality, taste and presentation of the food, matched that of a Michelin star restaurant. We cannot wait to return next year for our next visit to the lakes. It is a small restaurant, so booking is advisable.

Decent atmosphere and very kind service. Food way below average.

This was a family dinner on Good Friday. The menu is well planned, and prepared, and executed with superb service! The wine & drinks menu is also up to the task. Overall, this was an excellent dining experience. I have dined in and around Penrith and I would say this is the premier restaurant in the area. The people running this restaurant truly know their stuff!

Unbelievable food and service, couldn’t fault anything. Highly recommended. Will 100% be returning if I’m back even close to Penrith!! 5*

Amazing food. I'd go as far as to say one of the nicest meals I've ever had. And our biggest surprise is that they are dog friendly so our 5 month old cockapoo got to come along too! Service was brilliant and food was out of this world.

Lovely meal in a lovely location. We will definitely go back when back in the area just a shame it's not closer to where we live

Just enjoyed an exceptional meal in Grant's. Beautiful interior, food amazing and a lovely relaxed atmosphere. We were well looked after by Heather but were also lucky enough to meet the chef/owner Steve

We enjoyed a good evening out, beginning with a lovely welcome by the restaurant owner. Every dish in our 3 course dinner was beautifully presented and delicious. This restaurant has a relaxing ambience.

Came here for a significant birthday celebration. 14 people dining. Food, wine and beer were excellent. The service is oustanding with very helpul and pleasent staff. One of our party said that the wild mushroom risotto was the best that they had eaten in a restaurant! We have eaten here before as a couple and would highly recommend for couples and large parties.

Food was delicious staff very friendly making you feel welcome. Would certainly recommend

A group of 10 of us attended the Bottomless Brunch yesterday and what a spectacular afternoon was had by all!!! Wonderful service, great food and literally, not one glass empty for longer than 2 minutes....spectacular!! Thank You Heather and Steve!!!

We ate here last night following TripAdvisor as we often do and we were delighted. Lovely ambience, friendly welcoming staff. The menu covers most food types and the quality of the food when it arrived was outstanding.

A few friends went to bottomless Brunch on Saturday. It was amazing. Excellent quality and excellent staff. Thank you Heather and Steve.

Visiting Penrith for a couple of days. Had a fantastic meal at Grants. Food and service excellent. Our waitress was Heather. Extremely friendly and made us feel very welcome. Will definitely return. Thank you.

What a treat, the food is excellent, not over priced, great atmosphere, first time I have been but definatley will not be the last, going again in April for the brunch.

A fabulous meal. Lovely service, attentive but not over-done and the atmosphere was welcoming. The food was beautifully prepared and presented and all three courses were delicious. It’s been 3 years since our last visit but it was just as good as ever - if i lived locally i would be there every week.

We had a brilliant day yesterday for the bottomless brunch Food was 10/10 & as for the procecco well my glass was never empty !!! Well done to all the staff who never stopped all afternoon You must try this

Omg bottomless brunch … AMAZING 🥰 food amazing , as are the staff and the atmosphere. We will be back xx Huge thankyou to Heather and her girls . Never an empty glass 🥰

So so lovely. Food absolutely delicious and staff so welcoming and friendly. Couldn’t do enough for us. Amazing team, will definitely be back! Thank you so much for having us!

Happy with the experience, but nothing amazing. Cheese souflee was nice but maybe too creamy. Rissoto nice but nothing amazing. Lemon meringue dessert nice flavour but custard too eggy. Overall ok but nothing outstanding. Shame!

Struggled what to choose from the menu as so many things looked appealing. Everything was presented and cooked beautifully and had great attention to detail. There are a few other restaurants around with nice-looking menus but they usually fail to live up to expectations -...

Lovely evening. Amazing food, great service. Not enough places like this any more!

Lovely evening at this family run restaurant. Amazing food and great service. Not enough places like this anymore! Would definitely go again

Lovely restaurant. Welcoming and friendly front of house, Heather. Highly recommend the fillet, beautifully cooked, juicy, tender with a tady bark. Chocolate creme brule gorgeous. Trio of fish and scallops tasty. Well worth a visit.

My wife and I had 3 course meals.. every part of every course was outstanding. Excellent food, excellent service, excellent atmosphere.

Had a beautiful 3 course meal this evening. Food was sensational, attentive service and in comfortable relaxed surroundings. The food was absolutely delicious but the lemon meringue dessert was out of this world. Highly recommend Grants for a meal out, we will be back soon.

We visited on a Thursday evening in February and I was surprised to find the restaurant very quiet given the strength of reviews. Chatting to the proprietor, it had been quite busy earlier in the week and was fully booked at the weekend so I...

The choice of food was excellent, the taste was equally as good. Served in good time and I cleared the plate. Delicious. Will definitely be back.

I recently booked the advertised pie night for 9 ladys. The service staff were spot on We all decided to do the pies, just amazing plenty of well prepared and presented food. All the lady’s were well impressed. Very special place to eat.

Lovely food and efficient, friendly staff. We had a trio of fish to start, followed by fillet steak and monk fish. We had dark chocolate crème brûlée for desert which was amazing.

Visited for the first time. An excellent meal, great service and a lovely atmosphere. The lamb hotpot starter was so nice. Steak cooked to perfection, halibut had so much flavour. A lovely lemon meringue pie for dessert. Will definitely be back.

Second time we have had dinner at Grants and will be back very shortly. Excellent in all respects - first class service, delicious food, and good value for money. Definitely worth a visit if you enjoy very tasty food in a lovely atmosphere.

We called in on spec and were welcomed straight away. The service was intuitive friendly and attentive. The food was great quality, the chef is a master of his craft. Good value for money too. We will definitely call again

We went for pie night and were not disappointed. The best steak pie and most flavoursome gravy. As good as it always was! Service 10/10 as usual.

Can't not recommend this place enough, the only issue was deciding between everything on the menu, it ALL sounded so good. Keep an eye out for their pie nights ( my friend s personal favourite) and the bottomless brunch ( my personal favourite as my...

We were really disappointed with our visit to Grant’s, having looked forward to it for a while. The flavour combinations were poor, with seemingly random ingredients, my starter contained undercooked scallops (not sure how you actually do that!) and whole uncooked hazelnuts. My partner’s halibut...

We have been a few times always enjoy going to Grants food is lovely good service to nothing to much highly recommended you will enjoy .

The food was lovely. The staff were wonderful, very welcoming and really looked after us. A lovely way to catch up with friends, will definitely visit again.

5⭐️ Bottomless prosecco and afternoon tea. Frindly staff in a warm cosy atmosphere, the prosecco was flowing all through the afternoon. The cakes and sandwiches were all freshly prepared, and tasted delicious, l would definitely recommend Grants of Penrith and thank you for your amazing...

Amazing bottomless prosseco afternoon tea . The staff were lovely the food was lovely.great value for money, it really was bottomless. Will definitely go back.

Fantastic experience, went for bottomless afternoon tea and it really was bottomless! Staff were friendly and good fun, food was excellent, will definitely be going again!

An amazing bottomless afternoon tea, fresh homemade cakes and it really was bottomless! Will be coming again very soon!

Came here for dinner on a Saturday evening having read lots of recommendations and were not disappointed. Made very welcome by the staff. Both starters, soufflé and scallops, and mains, steak and halibut, were excellent. I’m not normally a steak person but the fillet was...

Amazing food, the best meal and most delicious steak I’ve eaten in a long time. Polite, friendly, helpful staff. We went based on previous Tripadvisor reviews and were absolutely not disappointed.

once again an exellent meal, lovely atmosphere with friendly staff who cant do enough for you. the most flavoursome steak I have had. best place to go for special meal. best restuarant in Penrith.

Food and service absolutely outstanding. Will definitely return. Value for money for standard of food was superb. My new favourite restaurant

Grants of castlegate is outstanding! This was my second time here and it definitely won’t be my last. I had the duck breast and my mum had the monkfish curry. The duck breast was one of the best I have ever had and the potato dauphinois was to die for. I could have eaten a whole tray. I had a bite of the monkfish curry and it was equally as incredible, so much flavour! For dessert we shared the dark chocolate creme brûlée which was so creamy and delicious. The atmosphere here is relaxing and the service is amazing, always so attentive. I don't understand why this place hasn’t received a Rosette yet! It needs more recognition.

Amazing chef, you can feel the love he puts in his dishes. Very friendly and attentive staff. The food is elevated to a next level. Love it every time I come. This place should have a Rosette.

Lovely food and excellent service. First visit but won’t be the last. A varied menu with something. To suit most palates

Another fantastic meal here. Very warm and friendly welcome. Apologies there are no pics, I'll definitely try not to pile right in next time! I had the smoked haddock croquettes to start and the duck. Both top notch. Firmly my fave place to eat at...

We have lived in Penrith for many years but never visited this gem of a restaurant. Went for a dinner date night with my hubby and we were not disappointed. Lovely, flavoursome food. Nice background music and great attentive staff (noticed I was getting a...

Really enjoyable meal, great service and very good food

Ordered a few starters each which were delicious, The service was exceptional and generally very nice experience. Thank you.

We booked into this restaurant last minute and it was amazing. Really good service, lovely food and although it was quiet (as we were at 17.30) they created a good atmosphere. Highly recommended 👌

Delightful food and service, we would definitely recommend and will return.

We came here back in 2020 and it was fabulous the food and the wine were excellent so here we are again and it certainly did not disappoint the monkfish was cooked to perfection and the steak melted in the mouth and for the sticky...

We went to Grants for our work Xmas meal and it was brilliant! Great food and lovely staff. We would certainly go again. Thanks!

Omg the food is amazing X the lady serving was lovely X defo recommend X

Visited for our annual Christmas lunch with 15 colleagues. The service was very welcoming and friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The food was excellent and could not be faulted. Would definitely return and recommend.

Had a fabulous meal with friends. The quality of the food was second to non, absolutely delicious. It was hot and presented beautifully and staff were attentive and friendly. Atmosphere was welcoming and relaxed. I would highly recommend that you give it a try, you...

Very welcoming, great service, excellent food. Weak coffee but overall excellent. Very pleased to recommend.

Really enjoyed our meal, food was fantastic, service was friendly and quick. We will definitely be going again and would happily recommend to friends and family.

We arrived early and were greeted warmly. A short but delicious menu which ticked all the boxes. Superb turkey and cannon of lamb mains, beautifully presented and equally first class. Top class wine list at reasonable prices. Great hostess and our compliments to the chef...

I booked Grants for myself and 7 friends for our annual Christmas outing dinner, this year in Penrith. Fantastic food and excellent staff, can't praise this establishment any higher. If you're anywhere near Penrith, be sure to give this place a try, you most certainly...

Great place to celebrate my birthday with amazing food and excellent service. You definitely get quality over quantity here, perfect for a special occasion. We'll definitely be back.

The restaurant was full on a Saturday night-always a good sign. The food variety was good and the food was appealing. Service was friendly and prompt. Tables are close together so you have to be ok with hearing other’s conversations. The bread was I felt...

Excellent food. It was expensive but you get what you pay for. Would recommend to anyone. Faultless from starter to finish.

We enjoyed a perfectly cooked soufflé, delicious lamb and pork main courses and Eton mess and sticky toffee pudding. Everything was cooked to perfection but the dauphinoise potato was exceptional. Highly recommend for a special celebration or even a random Wednesday!
