"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."

"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!"

"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"

"Young chap with blonde hair (don't know his name) behind the bar was very nice. We went 2 nights in succession, once in the restaurant, once in the bar area. Food was delicious and beautifully presented. There was a tv which was thankfully off and background music which was just that, so good for us. It was tastefully decoated and furnished. Overall ambience of upmarket and quality. The weather was abominable and we went at night so can't comment on the outside. We didn't use the toilets. We would certainly return."

"Sunday lunch for 3 people probably the best Sunday lunch I've had in a long time. The choice of the different courses were great and the beef was cooked really well. The portion size was really good especially for the prices. You can have other options and not the Sunday dinner. The desserts menu has a great choice also. Received a warm welcome on arrival and was able to order drinks before going into the restaurant area. Overall, I would highly recommend it because of how fresh and tasty the food was and also how reasonably priced it was. The staff were also on point and provided a warm and welcoming service. Would arrive early to get a parking space as there are limited spaces."
