The best restaurants serving British food in North West

Good spot, large area inside, service was good, pints were good.

The food is good, the place is nice and the staff was really lovely. I do think it's too pricy and the portion size it to small, But overall its a nice place to go for fish and chips in Blackpool

From the moment we stepped inside to the moment we left we felt it was very friendly. I mentioned that we were newbies to Toby Carvery and Kieran made us all feel welcomed. We all had a very good meal from start to finish and it was very very tasty, we couldn't eat anything else, and when Keiran came to the table we were saying that the puddings sounded amazing and he mentioned that they can be boxed up so we could take them home. Thank you Keiran for your excellent service that day...xx

I love a Spoons, and this one is very good, particularly for a new build. Great value as always and friendly staff.

Arrived before food service time sobhad ti wait abit but the music was nice and the place was clean. We ordered on the app so service was prompt with hot food. Deserts where loverly Parking decent for quiet periods

Nice venue for family gatherings

I had the best meal of my stay in Keswick here. I ate in town for the first two nights. Those venues had a livelier atmosphere but the food at the Pheasant was streets ahead. I walked to Crosthwaite from town which took about 20 mins and was very easy.. Went to the bar and was completely ignored by the man wiping glasses chatting to a colleague and thought I’d made a mistake coming. Then caught the attention of a waitress who seated me straightaway. Table service was friendly and efficient. Very good British food in large portions. I had the prawn cocktail and the pheasant which were well presented and delicious, No room for dessert though. The pub was full for diners ( a walk-in request was turned down ) but no-one having just drinks. I was one of three solo diners, the rest couples and friends. They are CARD only, no cash. It is much faster if you go up to the bar and pay rather than wait for the machine to come to you. The preset tipping options start at 12.5% but there’s also a custom option of you prefer to leave a different amount. Overall I would definitely return and recommend the Pheasant. It’s a great example of a pub that does good food without being a gastro pub. There’s also seating available outdoors.

Sue was superb! Looked after us all night! Very lovely lady and nothing too much trouble

Party of 7 ordered from Christmas menu 3 coursed starters were prawn cocktail, pate and filled yourshire. Mains were Turkey dinners and sweets Perfiterols, sherry trifle. I can honestly say no one had any complaints. Very large portions, very tasty and hot. Excellent value for money with very good service. Would def recommend the Christmas menu

Great staff, well run pub, clean and welcoming. Will definitely call again

Just excellent, pricey but worth it

Lovely warm welcome created a high expectation for the food to come. Great cosy pub environment and pleasant atmosphere. However the food was pretty average with a cold processed pork pie and whilst chips were tasty they were not as hot as they could be. Lots of potential here to partner with a great local butcher and make more of the demand for Pork pies. Such a great little pub which could be so much better with a bit of ‘Food’ improvement

The Queens head has a great menu and the food was 5*. A lovely warming pub with fantastic food and drinks. The roaring fire and views to die for makes your evening so much better after exploring the lake district. Have come back 3 nights in a row. The staff alike are so accommodating and friendly. Would recommend if you are in the area.

Can’t complain too much with the prices, but it’s always rammed! Forget getting a seat here on Friday or Saturday evening.

Booking was easy,,food was luvly,,staff were very friendly and helpful,took my 99 year mum there told them it was her birthday next day they bought a chocolate cake out for her with a candle in it which I thought was a luvly touch ,,
