American lad behind the bar was unprofessional and unequipped with any kind of customer service skills. He abruptly told me to wait when I tried to give him my drinks order (3 drinks). He could only remember one at a time. We felt like we were getting in the way of him chatting to his colleagues. Never quite experienced this before!When I asked what the pie was he said it was game pie and he had been out shooting deer with his father who owns the place. Basically thinking he was clever and trying to entertain himself. He just came across as very odd and rude! We sat at our table and hoped he would ignore us for the rest of our time there! Which luckily he did!Food was all from frozen and pretty tasteless. My brioche bun was black and burnt so I ate the frozen burger and we got out as quick as we could!

Good pub food and atmosphere. Staff were friendly and our meals arrived quickly. Would

Came here for a light bite to eat. Our table already had dirty glasses when we sat down and they were still there when we left. I ordered the Vietnamese spring rolls and they were vile. My partner ordered the "warm" beetroot orange salad which was also vile. There was no atmosphere cause all I could hear was the bartender bragging about himself.

Incredibly disappointed, 0 stars if I could rate it. I don't like to leave bad reviews but this shows how bad it was. Booked for a weekend break in their sister hotel "The Bridge House Hotel" which does come highly rated 5*.Arrived here "The Inn at Grasmere 1769 bar & Restaurant "on Friday evening for our first of two meals, which were pre booked, and my partner now has food poisoning after eating either the sweet chilli chicken starter, sausage and mash main meal or the lemon posset dessert. We spent all weekend ill in our room and ruined our weekend. Total waste of time and money.I wouldn't recommend and certainly not the above dishes. It can't just have been us as the restaurant and bar was pretty busy with other diners.

Cozy and warm little bar with an open log fire for quick bite and drink. Lovely

Delicious pizza, one of the best I’ve had. I was surprised this restaurant didn’t have much higher reviews! Staff were lovely and helpful too. 5 stars all round.

Don't be caught out by the portion sizes, ordered a venison loin, would not have been enough to feed a child. When I mentioned it i was informed it was a rich meal and that's the reason for the portion size. So my advice is if you eat here you might want to order more than just the main. On the up side the waitress was nice.

I had fish & chips my wife had braised pork both meals very nice especially the fish probably the tastiest fish I’ve had and I’m particular on batter not being under fried it was spot on very crispy , a couple of nice beers in a warm environment with a couple of log burners on the go ! Thanks

A very worthwhile stop in Grasmere. The atmosphere is great, the staff a friendly, wet dogs and people are welcome, and the food is delicious. Would definitely recommend passing it a visit if you’re in the neighbourhood.
Lovely place for a drink. We didn’t eat food so I can’t comment for food. But the service for drinks was lovely and seats were very cosy. We love that a lot of elements seemed very tradition pub like. Super cosy.

Visited last night for our evening meal. Had the Nachos to start followed by the beef burger for main. Both were really lovely and would order againThe pub is great and all staff were very friendly. Felt it was a bit on the pricey side but I haven't eaten/drank anywhere else in Grasmere to compare. Would return without a second thought

This is a hotel that pretends to welcome walk-in customers. Lots of fancy paraphernalia aim to create a local aura but really the only thing that creates atmosphere is the clientele.

Poor service , poor food. Waited over an hour for the smallest plate of food I’ve ever been served . Far better places to eat in Grasmere .
