"Service was great, place was lovely but really disappointed in the food. The ingredients were clearly good quality but there was no zing, seasoning was absent. Options on the menu read really well innovative and interesting but the cooking was a million miles away from the good quality meals we have enjoyed in Spain. The belly pork was chewy, not slow cooked and rendered, the zarzuela was acceptable. I didnt have any fried options and that might have made a difference. All the plates came out at the same time rather than in a trickle. If I had had the four tapas option midweek then I might have been happy but at full price this was a miss. I will give it another chance but at the moment its not a go to place. Vegetarian options: Actually thought the vegi options were quite good considering."

"Stopped off here for lunch on way home to Scotland, having good memories of this cafe from a visit several years ago. We were glad to find that it was still open and serving a wide variety of meal and snack options including lots of gluten free choices which pleased my husband who has coeliac disease. Fresh home-made food at excellent prices, and licensed too!"

"I phoned to reserve to find courteous and very helpful staff. When we arrived we found the room that was booked for us was fabulous! It was everything we needed, travelling with our year old Labrador. We went for a short walk to settle...our dog and then went into the pub for dinner. The barman poured me a pint of local ale, which didn’t look great and before I could say anything, he apologised profusely and asked if I mind waiting a couple of minutes whist he changed the barrel, I waited about minutes and boy was it worth it!! The menu was not extensive and as a chef that was a good sign. But there was more than enough variety to please most tastes. My wife had a steak, which was classically presented and cooked to perfection. I had pan fried Bass fillets (again beautifully cooked) on an outstanding buttery, lemon and prawn risotto. One of the best risottos I had since visiting Venice!! I’m now hunting for reasons to come this way again!!"

"We've been there twice with the whole family last weekend, we tried 4 different pizzas, 2 types of pasta, steak, kebab, chicken wings, ice cream and caramel cheesecake and we absolutely enjoyed all of them. The staff were also quite friendly and we had a very pleasant experience. We'll definitely go back there the next time we visit Penrith and we're looking forward to trying the Keswick branch as well. Service: Dine in"

"prices for restaurant review. I came in grants as part of a party of 22 people who were all there to celebrate an 18th birthday. we were warmly added to the restaurant, which was not huge, but had a nice cozy feeling. the waitress took our drink orders and made us comfortable in the small lounge/bar area. because of the large number of guests, the chef has kindly asked us to preorder our meal, which we could do more than gladly. I chose to start a prawn avocado salat, followed by duck in a plant sauce and then sticky toffee pudding. my Prawn salad looked delicious when he was introduced to me. to my surprise, along with the garnish and cut avocado, there was also a little laugh! Although the salmon was tinted, he gave the sweet and juicy garnel a beautiful taste depth. the fish and avocado worked nicely together and offer a mix of arome and textures. many of the guests chose a starter of black pudding and haggis croquettes that looked fantastic. it was well presented and tasty. for the main course I chose the duck with a vegetable sauce – the duck was delicious and was perfectly seasoned. the only problem that I had was it the duck was ever cooked over for my lust, but I looked over because it tasted fantastic! the soße that accompanied the duck was exquisite, she had fruity, sweet and hearty notes and was the perfect accompaniment to the duck. beside the duck were also sewn potato, which were great, perfectly boiled and well flavored. Moreover, there were carrots served with fennel kernels – now, in no great lover of anis, but I enjoyed the delicate fennel taste with well cooked carrots. finaly, they served roasted beet root, which was cooked in a mixture of cumin, honey and red wine. the mixture of strong aromes, which coat the beet root, proved too much and exaggerated the soft and delicate taste of the beet root. it also did not work with the duck and was not particularly pleasant. other guests had sea bass for their main – the fish was perfectly cooked, falling away from the fork and melting in the mouth. the other option was pork with risotto – the pork looked dry, but was actually juicy and well flavored. the risotto was also perfectly cooked, well seasoned and creamy. for dessert I had the ever-popular Cumbrian fantasy, sticky toffee pudding. we cambrians have expected big dings of sticky toffee puddings, and this has certainly met these expectations! the deep, sweet, sticky aromas were excellent and were well rounded with vanilla ice cream. the proven taste combination worked as always very well. my only degree was that it wasn't enough of it! other guests had eton mess – although well presented in a high glass, the dessert seemed to be obstinate and saw without the most important ingredient – meringue! per person, the bill came around £25 (three cursor meal including wein.) I thought this was very expensive, although it would be fair to say the proportions are somewhat too small for what they pay. still my experience with grants was excellent! the nice, attentive staff felt very welcome and the food was excellent. I'll go back."
