"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."

excellent service and excellent meal. were added in portions. steak cooked for perfection chips were exchanged for vegetables, as desired without problems and without additional costs. weinlist with standard selection quite expensive. in any case will return and recommend.

I liked this restaurant, the decor is a amateur, pictures, plants and a little clutter. Sad to say they do not do cocktails. The food, on the other hand, was really really good. I would go back for the food. If the place was spruced up it would justify a 5 star. Food is 5 star!

We called into Grants early on Saturday evening on the off chance of a table for two. We were greeted by a lady who quickly rearranged a table that was set for evening service and seated us. We ordered drinks and perused the menu. We ordered the fillet steak and a trio of pork which were beautifully presented and tasted amazing- cooked to perfection! I would recommend booking to ensure you get a table as it was very busy, we will be back!

Had an evening meal at Grants very recently and all I can say is wow! The food, scallops (starter), trio of pork (main), lamb (main), cheese (dessert), chocolate fondant (dessert) were all cooked prepared to perfection and tasted absolutely delicious. What was really lovely though was, unlike some establishments, we didn't feel rushed through our meal. There was a nice gap in between courses which meant we could really enjoy our meal and social experience. Just a wonderful place which I will return to when I'm next in Penrith.

As a business traveller eating alone you can feel a little out of place but I felt most comfortable eating here. The service was friendly but not intrusive and I sat quite happily reading my book between courses. I plumped for the cheese souffle, duck breast main and finished with a choccie fondant. All cooked very well and very tasty. I actually asked for bread to soak up the gravy on my plate after the duck as it was so tasty! Well priced and recommended when in Penrith. PS sorry I had no cash to leave a tip, I'll address this on my return. View menu

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 think we were an anomaly and I'd still recommend booking. The menu has a good range of interesting sounding dishes and we went for all three courses. The food was delicious just a really good example of quality ingredients, cooked well. Portions sizes were just right so that you felt pleasantly sated but not overfull by the end. The owner/front of house was lovely, striking a nice balance of being friendly but also leaving us to enjoy our food in peace....
