The Pheasant Inn in South Lakeland

Outstanding food and great selection of drinks. Highly recommend.

Our local pub restaurant. We went for a meal with visiting family, had the specials and loved it... a great atmosphere, run by a lovely family.

Stopped by for food as we have been before and as always top notch food and service. Booking is recommended as they are very popular. Varied menu but everything we have tried has been excellent. We make a point of eating here whenever we are in the area now.

Found this restaurant whilst on a bike ride in the area so decided to go for Sunday lunch the day after. We arrived at 6pm, we hadn’t booked a table and were told that they only had two tables available near the bar so we took one of those. Was good to hear as busy means good! There was the standard menu and then the specials board. We asked about the Sunday lunch but were advised they had sold out at 3pm and do most weeks. I went for the tomato soup and chipotle chicken my partner went for the same soup and lamb Henry. No complaints at all about the food, piping hot and delicious. I can see why this place was busy, the staff were in and out of the kitchen. Would definitely recommend.

Found this place whilst on holiday so glad we did firstly on arrival all staff were so welcoming and attentive food was amazing ! great choices available and really tasty would definitely recommend and visit again,

I had the roast dinner beef/turkey the beef was really tender! 😋 Sticky toffee pudding was really good too. Friendly staff & quick service. Definitely recommend.

We were in the area on holiday and only planned to go out for one meal so I spent a long time trolling through the local options to make sure I chose the best place and I was so glad I chose the pleasant inn as it was perfect. There are 3 separate areas to eat. A dog friendly section, a family area and an adult only section. This is a really good idea and works very well so you have to worry about trying to shush excited children! The dog friendly area was in the bar area and I was glad we didn’t have to sit there! The adult only area looks beautiful and is the bit with the black and white floor and the nice mustard chairs which you see in the website pictures. We were in the family area with our 14 and 5 year olds. It has wooden tables and amazing views. I could see the sea from my seat which was wonderful and the other side of the table could see fields and hills with cows. The staff were lovely and friendly. The range of specials was very interesting. My husband and son shared the dressed crab. The staff brought colouring things for our daughter. She had the chicken nuggets chips and beans and this is the thing that I really loved- they were actual proper chunks of chicken breast is fresh batter and not processed. She ate the lot! The pricing was pretty standard for current times. Sorry no pictures of the food as I was enjoying myself too much!

Great little place to stay . Good base to start your daily visits from. And the train station is not far away if you don't fancy driving.

Booked in the afternoon , ate in the evening Great food and great value Enjoyed our early evening meal Booked based on online reviews and didn’t regret it

We had a very pleasant and comfortable stay at the Pheasant Inn. The owners and staff were all welcoming and friendly. Our bedroom was modern with comfy beds, fridge with fresh milk and water. The evening meals were delicious and well cooked, although my husband and I found that the peas on different meals were like bullets, don’t like to leave and waste !! The Inn has an eating area for families and another for well behaved dogs. We ate in the beautiful conservatory which is adults only, sadly it got very noisy and just took the edge off our dining experience.

I have been wanting to try this place for years, when lastnight and wow it did NOT disappoint, the food was amazing, cooked perfectly and lot of flavour, I would highly recommend it for a fantastic meal, the staff where amazing with us, very attentive to all our needs, a great choice of foods and drinks, beautiful views, comfortable seats, very clean, the best meal I’ve had in years,

Took my Cousin from Australia and family for Sunday lunch, unbelievable poor, uncooked cold stumpy chips, large horrid peas, no tartare sauce had to ask for. Service was very poor. I was totally embarrassed, having recommended the Pheasant. Previous meals had been good.

We made a booking and sat in the adult area in the conservatory, the room was lovely and we really enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere. All the staff were very friendly and welcoming. Our meals were delicious and we both really enjoyed the food. We would definitely return and eat here again.

A party of 9 friends met here to celebrate my 70th birthday. The staff were exceptionally good and the food was, as always, superb. They were very busy but you'd never know it as the service was still excellent, very friendly and helpful. THANK YOU FOR MAKING MY BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS SO ENJOYABLE.

We rang to see if there was availability after a long hike, and a lovely waitress called Hannah answered. She was very accommodating, and greeted us upon our arrival. Charlotte noticed our table was a bit small for us with 6 foot boys on it! She asked us if we wanted to move to the conservatory area. I would recommend this restaurant to anybody. The food was delicious and Charlotte and Hannah made our experience amazing. Thank you!

Fabulous restaurant, very helpful and friendly staff and amazing food. We had the Sunday roast which was gorgeous - I'm not a big fan of red cabbage but it was sooo tasty that I would come back again just for that. The beef and turkey were tender with a lovely range of potatoes, yorkshire pudding and gravy. A lovely lunchtime feast. Would definitely recommend and will return when we're next in the area .

Arriving at The Pheasant I remembered visiting 10 years before & got excited. We hadnt booked & were definitely worried that we might not be fed but rest assured this is a very welcoming spot & we were taken to a table. I had the most delicious chicken skewers with twice cooked chips & a divine salad side 11/10!! Hubby had a huge portion of steak pie chips & mushy peas & he barely spoke until it was all gone!! Another 11/10!! Visit or miss out!!

We came here whilst away in the Lake District. We were so impressed with both the service and quality of food. I had the garlic king prawns to start and chicken skewers as a main. The prawns were the nicest prawns I have ever eaten. Exceptional. The chicken was cooked beautifully and was so lovely as well. It was like butter! My partner had the halloumi to start followed by a specials main of chicken and ribs, which again were beautifully cooked. We both came away very full and agreed this is the best restaurant and meal we have had in a long time! Our service was outstanding, the staff were incredibly friendly and approachable, which is hard to find these days. The restaurant and the decor is stunning. We will definitely return when back in Lake District.

Brilliant food and service! We turned up late after the kitchen was closed, due to an unexpected issue at another location. The staff were very welcoming and kept the kitchen open late for us to eat. Gluten free options available and very tasty.

We came midweek early evening and I’d say booking is recommended. I liked that they had a separate area to seat families with younger children, and it’s the first place I’ve been to that has a menu for older children such as teenagers for ‘young diners’. The main restaurant is lovely, nicely decorated, and tables well spaced out. The staff were really friendly and it had a nice relaxed atmosphere. The food was delicious with good portion sizes and very reasonably priced given how nice the whole place was. Would definitely recommend and we will be back.

Very nice Sunday lunch. Very clean and food was good quality.

A beautiful pub with really lovely and helpful friendly staff. The food was so delicious we ended up visiting on the Friday and coming back for the Sunday roast a few days later!

Beautiful pub with a great location and very nice manageress. She let us park our Motorhome in the far corner of the carpark to allow us a nice stop.

My husband were on holiday and I went for a meal here for our 20th wedding anniversary. The food was gorgeous, even though I have a gluten intolerance, there was plenty of choice.

We’re staying in a cottage nearby and have been twice now for lunch. Both times the food was excellent. Great choices, daily specials including starters, mains, desserts and pies. My mum is pescatarian and has found plenty of choices. Dog friendly in the bar area which we love. The staff have all been so friendly and really make the atmosphere welcoming and lovely. We’re probably be going back again before we leave !

This is place continually smashes me out of the park every time I come, and I am always sad to leave. I might actually come and live here. Everything they do is the FULL FIVE STARS and being accustomed to finery and excellence as I am, my word here is good. As Mohammed Ali once said…. “I Shall Return”……. and I do. Often Tw-Bdgr x

OK so I'm not gonna lie I was warned the portions were tiny..... what on earth... no they are not... the food is amazing and so much variety. Gluten free options available which is rare to see so many options. Pre booked a table as advised on website. Lovely spacious room, I wasn't keen on the table space they were going to seat us in but when I asked for more room they more than happily helped out. The staff are amazing and so funny. We really enjoyed both times we jave been. Plenty of parking in their private car park. Easily accessible. Wheelchair access (notify when booking). Some outside seating with a view. Large window across dining area with same view. Prices are good ranging from lunch times course £11-17 and normal menu meals from £11-20. For two of us and 2 couses and a soft drink it was £45. Again price varies on if you do lunch or evening meal and specials. Specials board if full of options of which you may have fun trying to pronounce some of them ha.

In a word: EXCEPTIONAL! We called on the off-chance to book a couple of nights (after turning up to a dirty room at our expected location). Being Sunday and Monday nights, The Pheasant fortunately had space. Upon ringing up, Martin was very courteous and understanding of our difficulty. On arrival, Charlotte, the owners’ daughter, was most sympathetic and caring - we had had ‘one of those days’ and forgotten the toiletry bag; toothbrushes and toothpaste were readily brought up to us. Restaurant food that evening fortified - local, well-selected, flavoursome fayre cooked perfectly at a reasonable price. The decor in the restaurant is a joy to behold - taverna-esque with a subtle nod to the pheasant midst autumnal side panels. Breakfast was just as tasty and substantial.; Jackie and Amy were so friendly and helpful. The room was cosy - perfect for two - with a very comfy bed and the best power shower with decent toiletries to boot (maybe we hadn’t needed our bits after all!). Air con and remote control blinds with a large TV screen only added to our sense of worth as customers. The walk to Grange-over-Sands in the morning took us to a time often forgotten - where people smiled in the sunshine and were most friendly. This is a beautiful, unspoilt corner of the earth and The Pheasant is the ideal place to book and explore from. Thank you so much Keith and team! 😊

We had a lovely meal there on Sunday evening - the staff were so hopeful and friendly to our whole group, including the kids and we've never had a better experience in terms of being catered for with outer multiple severe allergies - made us feel really safe and like it wasn't any problem but we really appreciate the effort! Will definitely return any time we're in the area. Thank you so much.

Free stop over on rear car park, enjoyed a meal and bottle wine, beers 🍻 Staff are very accommodating, great little village pub. Dog friendly only in bar area. Would recommend smaller vehicles under 7 meters . . .

Enjoyed a wonderful 2 night stay this weekend, rooms are spotless and the beds are really comfortable. We really enjoyed the breakfast and ate in the restaurant both evenings . Great selection and everything we had was really top quality. The hosts are very warm and welcoming , all the staff are a credit to this place. Nothing is too much trouble and they seem to enjoy providing a top class service. Thanks again, we will be returning.

Really welcoming staff. The Loweswater Gold an excellent pint and it had to be fish & chips on Friday which were as good I've had in a pub for many a year.

Another absolutely fantastic stay at the Pheasant Inn. Rooms were lovely and clean, the staff are lovely and friendly and make you feel welcome. They all work extremely hard to ensure you have a wonderful stay. Food was excellent. Stayed 3 times and booked to go back again.

Great lunchtime stop here after a walk. Staff lovely and friendly and a dog friendly spot too.

Telephoned booking, for a busy Friday night. Service was spot on, and nothing too much trouble. Gluten free options available and good home cooked food. Would certainly visit again!

My husband and I enjoyed a birthday meal here last night after a few excellent recommendations. We chose to sit in the conservatory and it was decorated so beautifully. The staff were so welcoming, friendly and attentive from the start and extremely helpful throughout which really made our evening. The food was delicious and extremely good quality home cooked food. We both had three courses and found the bill extremely reasonable for exceptional food. We will definitely return if we are in the area. Thanks to the staff for making our evening so enjoyable.

Had cause to stop again at this wonderful place for a local appointment. It was completely wonderful. All of it. The service. The room. The company. The breakfast. The people. Especially Lucy. And Mel. And Rachael. And Dan. And Amy. And Martin. And Scott. Come here. Everybody come here. You might even get to see me! You lucky devils!

We went to the Pheasant Inn for a birthday lunch for my Grandmother's 90th birthday. We were greeted and shown to a table to a table to fit our party of 6 by very friendly staff. Sat down to a very clean table in a nice clean room overlooking the road. Menus were brought out, and the specials were explained to us. The waitress was very friendly, knowledgeable and had had a good laugh as well. She also took the drinks orders at the same time. Ample time was given the peruse the menu. Not rushed at all, like some places I've been to. The freshly prepared food was brought out together, so no having to wait. I had the chicken breast stuffed with black pudding and covered in bacon served with roast potatoes and green beans. Absolutely fantastic! I can't comment on the price, as I did not pay, I would suggest though, that it was very good value for money. Top notch and very well worth the visit, devouring if necessary.

A very warm welcome from the staff, food was lovely. I personally found the menu although expansive lacked variety with to much familiarity with the spices and curries, not a criticism just an observation. Personally I would like to see a proper steak option espically with the lovely meat around, something like a 10oz ribeye with some great marbling would be fantastic. We will return with this venue and we will no doubt be welcomed In the same way. Staff are such a value to a business and they have it in spades congrats and well done

Always a genuine warm welcome. Comfortable beds for a good nights sleep and the best full English I’ve had in a long while

My husband and I (plus the pooch) had a lovely stay. We booked a double dog friendly room which was very newly decorated, had all the modern features you could want, plus an excellent hot shower. Having frequented this pub over the past 20 years it is fantastic to see it thriving and the introduction of stays. Our evening meal was delicious and the service from Scott was excellent our glasses were never empty. The breakfast was superb and again staff were friendly and polite. We can't wait for our next visit, we might even take the children this time 😀

Loved it here very nice food service was great would definitely recommend

Went on 1/1/24. Very busy, food was lovely and they do smaller portions for little eaters, which was great.

We have just had the pleasure of staying near this amazing restaurant the staff couldn't make you more welcome , and the food was the best we have eaten in some time . We went back a few times and each time 5💫 thank you we would Highley recommend and can't wait for our next visit much love Sue & Ste x

Pop in here for a drink during a walk and the staff are always so friendly.

Stayed over Christmas in a lodge in cartmel and booked Christmas lunch here, from phoning to make the reservation in September to having the lunch everyone was so nice and friendly. Food was delicious and plenty of it, staff really attentive, this was the first Christmas lunch we have had out and will definitely be back for food again when we visit the area. Thankyou to all involved.

I can’t even begin to say how much I appreciate the staff here. They gave my son the most amazing evening for his birthday. The food was amazing and the customer service was out of this world. Nothing was to much trouble even though it was so so busy. It really was a magical evening. Thank you so much ❤️ Emma xxx

This is a special place for us, first date, proposed. Looking forward to celebrating future events here

Travelled from Bolton to come see my grandma today. What a lovely venue, the decor is amazing. And all the staff are so pleasant and friendly! The food is exceptional and would highly recommend I really enjoyed it and will 100% be back! Thankyou

Just had another wonderful meal with friends at The Pheasant. Surf & Turf, Cumberland Sausage, Beef Rendang and Vegetable Balti. Both curries were absolute knockout! Everyone happy, four empty plates and with two full rounds of drinks, came in just about £30 per head. The Jones Family & Co, consistently smashing it out of the park. Top Bananas!!

Beautiful food quick service. Great atmosphere

The fist course was like warm,the staff and the next to course's were very 👍 good

Just had a wonderful meal here this evening. Didn't book but they had a table free. Excellent staff great service and the food was fabulous. Thank you.

We had a lovely meal at The Pheasant. The menu catered for all requirements and the food that came was delicious. The main thing we enjoyed about the evening was the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff. They were very accommodating and made us feel so welcome. I'd definitely recommend this pub to anyone looking for some good food. Thank you!

Portions are so small and sadly very overpriced. Never paid that much at a restaurant and when leaving still feeling hungry. You need customers - either give bigger portions or change your prices to reflect how small your portions are.

Went on Sunday 26th November, the whole place in and out was wonderfully festive, as usual a warm welcome from the staff, and the owners who we regard as friends after many years of visiting this lovely pub, food was excellent, fillet steak was amazing as were all the trimmings, Ham, egg, chips and peas delicious, definitely recommend a visit!! Angela & Chris Sheridan

Very disappointed, been here several times and always had a decent meal. This time Sunday lunch plus burger and chips and one starter. Battered chip shop sausages for the starter at £9 was two of the smallest sausages with a dipping sauce and token greens. Sunday lunch was tiny , I had to hunt for the burger in the bun and when I asked for some more chips as I could count them on my fingers that were served. I was presented with a bill for an extra portion. When I complained and refused to pay the extra bill , my words just fell on deaf ears. Was not interested in hearing it. Such a shame hopefully a one off but a poor experience.

After wandering around a very cold Grange over sands, we decided to find a cosy pub to rest and warm up. Had a look on Google Maps and this pub had excellent reviews 👌 so we parked up in their car park and hurried inside. We we're greeted by cheery staff who sat us down in the bar area, as we brought our dog with us. Our dog happily sat beside their fake wood burner, thinking it was real! The service was friendly and quick. Fantastic food, drink and atmosphere. A very enjoyable way to spend a cold 🥶 afternoon 😀 highly recommended

A really lovely roast beef dinner

We stayed at Fernleigh cottage which is attached to the Pheasant inn and we have to say everything was perfect... we really loved the cottage and we really loved having our meals next door in the Pheasant inn...they really make you feel welcome and the food is delicious...well done chef 👍👍....we can highly recommend the accommodation and the pub... thankyou for making our stay just right for us 👏👏.... carry on what you're doing there, it's great 👍👍😊

Very friendly pub with great food at good prices. Home made pie in particular was superb. We sat in the bar area which was dog friendly. Staff were great and very helpful.

Another tip from a local! Used the conservatory which we believe is for adults only. Really good service, enjoyed our dinner and the real ale on offer went down a treat. Had the pie of the day, thoroughly enjoyed our time at the Pheasant.

Beef was very chewy apart from that it was very good..

Having driven past the Pheasant a lot and always commented how nice it looks we finally visited. Really super Sunday lunch in a lovely pub - massive yorkshires!

Called in as it was the first pub that looked welcoming, after coming from Chester, visiting a nearby garage to test drive a car. Was really glad to have found it. Melissa Jo was kind enough to find me a table to dine alone where I wouldn’t feel too uncomfortable; something most restaurants overlook but it was really appreciated. The food was great and Melissa Jo ensured I had what I needed and was able to settle up quickly before being on my way. A great experience, I’ve already recommended the place to colleagues who live nearby. Hospitality is still suffering the after effects of covid, with many places unable to recruit good people. I’ve experienced this in too many eateries of late. However, Melissa Jo was a fantastic asset to The Pheasant and seemed to enjoy her work which was a joy to see in the current climate. Thanks for a great meal and outstanding service!

Brilliant cosy setting. Dog friendly (!), although there is a dog free area too. Excellent food. Very friendly staff. Highly recommended !

Went for lunch, for a Tuesday it was busy and after eating I can understand why, the service and food were spot on and well worth the visit, we will definitely return next time we are in the area.

Lovely meal, great atmosphere, friendly and efficient staff, even brought the dogs a bowl of water.

Had an excellent £17.50 set lunch. The choice was plentiful with something to suit all tastes. The portions were just the right size and the quality of the food was very high. Excellent, friendly service from all the staff made for a perfect afternoon.

Came here for a spot of lunch as there was many good reviews. The food was nice but tiny portions and really overpriced!! We ordered a panini but it wasn’t a panini that came it was a little roll, which left us disappointed as we...

really nice pub. only had drinks this time, but hope to return to try the food.

Really fantastic place. Staff are wonderful. Location is beautiful. We stayed over night and the room was perfect. The breakfast was delicious. We can't wait to come back!

Absolutely brilliant food, good service, kind and helpful staff. A great experience altogether. We have visited this restaurant on several occasion and have never been disappointed.

Called in today, and had a really lovely light lunch. As soon as we walked in, we had a warm genuine welcome and showed to a lovely table. Drinks order taken straight away, and big choice menus brought over Shame, but it was a flying...

We were lucky to have a lovely meal here during our holiday in the Lake District. It came recommended to us and I'm so glad we went! From me booking to us leaving, the service was fantastic! Good range of gluten free choices for my daughter who is coeliac. Lovely food and great, friendly staff!

Quite disappointing really. First of all we were given a table, looking straight at a corner of a room with a coffee machine by the door, which reminded me a lot of my old works canteen - we then saw that the store was use...

Brilliant owner and staff team. On arrival, they already knew where we were dining and asked if we had booked a taxi. Which we hadn't! The staff spent the next few hours trying to book us one, which they did. We ate a small lunch but so enjoyed the banter from the staff we stayed in the lounge for wine. Lunch was delicious as I like black pudding but both starters were cooked to our liking. Both lunch and dinner settings were very well attended so testament to how good the food is. The staff seemed to know all their names which is nice. Cannot thank the owner and staff for the reception we were given and the room was fab. Photoes to come.

What an amazing gem.stayed there 21.10.23 emma and her staff were amazing.great food Super clean defo 10 out of 10😊😊

Food very good. Nice and hot and very tasty Sweets were nice but a bit expensive for what they were especially the cheese plate

Found this fantastic Inn by chance. Amazing food and service. Lots more choice on their house menus than on website. The Inn was lovely inside and everyone was very friendly definitely going back when next in area.

Came here for two nights as a mini break with my wife last sunday and monday and we did enjoy are stay,the room was pleasant enough with a comfy bed and a big shower which was lovely the breakfast was very nice well cooked and...

Not very welcoming and not very friendly. We were treated appalling. Not very baby friendly. Managers manners were appalling. Never again would I ever visit

Visiting daughter who was staying at a nearby caravan sight and needed a gluten free restaurant for my girlfriend. .the pheasant inn was the 1st on a Google search and so pleased it was ..hadn't booked but was a table free and the food was great and options for gluten free was good 👍

Sunday Lunch well cooked & a reasonable amount of food.

Me and my Girlfriend ate here 2 consecutive days we had the best meal of our lake district trip here Minted Lamb Shoulder mmmm it was beautiful

I had lunch and dinner here on the same day, first time solo and then with the family. I’d say the food, over both meals we had 8 different dishes, was a good 6/10 or 7/10. The service was 50/50 depending on the server. The main dining area was good for lunch and I booked it for dinner to, but was told on arrival that no under-12’s were allowed there and was shown to the table next to the kitchen. Overall an ok experience.

Lovely pub. We ate here three nights on the trott. Service was excellent, all the staff were lovely, food was great too can't fault this place. Highly recommended

There was cling film in the shrimps. Although they did not charge there was no apology from anyone and we had to ask for the concession. But worse was the completely charmless waitress, who stood about two yards away from the table to take the...

I’d give more stars if I could. The food is amazing, the staff are attentive, very friendly and great with the kids. Kasper gave everything 5 stars 😉 It’s a really lovely place to enjoy some great food!

Staff is very welcoming, very clean place and has a good service manner .The food was very well presented. Good selection of beers

Had dinner here, was very nice and really friendly.

Wir hatten beide Sunday Roast und waren recht zufrieden. Aber das geht definitiv besser. Wir hatten einen Tisch im Wintergarten. Dort war es sehr laut und es hatte keine Atmosphäre.

Nothing was too much trouble, including my dietary requirements. The staff were delightful, the view stupendous and the food delicious. As I cannot tolerate gluten, the staff were very kind to ensure each dish was suitable. For starters we had prawn cocktail and black pudding....

The Pheasant 26/09/2023 Drive thru Grange over Sands and keep going for about 2 miles. My partner and I had two wonderful meals,starter ,main and dessert all delicious . The staff were awesome,friendly and welcoming ,giving advice on Gluton Free meals for my partner, Very understanding and helpful We had the daytime menu I can't comment on the rooms as we only had lunch ,but I overheard a couple saying how impressed they were . Bonus was, the owners turned out to be From Wigan All I can say is your doing a heck of a great job Keep it up 5 star Very highly recomended

Lovely food & nice to sit in the bright adults only conservatory with views over the bay Attentive pleasant staff more like a restaurant experience Quite expensive for pub food but it was for a special occasion & worth it

Service was friendly, the creme brûlée saved the meal but he pasta dish was the worst pasta dish of my lifetime, £20 crab linguine with crayfish was long life crayfish so literally tasteless, tiny amount of crab, huge slices of onion and cream, no chill....

Dined here for the first time mid week. Initially got strange vibes from one of the waitresses who we later overheard complaining about a colleague so this didn’t give a great impression. Had to ask if there were any specials. I tried one of them...

I am so glad we popped in to this restaurant on the off chance that a table would be available. On arrival we were greeted by such a friendly man who I can only assume was the manager or the owner? He got us a...

Visited whilst on holiday with my partner and our dog. First class establishment. Dogs can eat in the bar area and a bowl of water was provided without asking. The food was excellent and the service was faultless provided by professional but very friendly staff....

We were here for lunch on Monday , there was a big party in before us but it did not affect service or the food, both were excellent. The conservatory is a pleasant room to sit in and as it was a dull day it...
