   We ate at the Wheatsheaf in Brigsteer Cumbria and were delighted with the whole experience. Our greeting was cheerful and warm and the service good and friendly. Our meal was delicious and it was great that we could order from the bar menu as well. I had a creamy fish and potato pie and my fellow diners both had the local lamb served with roasted veg which they both said was delicious. My dessert of panna cotta with honeycomb was unusual and light.

   Our first visit to The Wheatsheaf in Brigsteer near Kendal and well worth it. Not the easiest place to find but then it is nice and secluded. Starters were a baked goats cheese and a prawn and melon cocktail followed by cumbrian beef wellington and pork belly . For desert we shared a creme brulee. All the above sounds basic but they were all well presented with variances which added to the flavours. Service was friendly although not many customers. Will return

   The Wheatsheaf, Kendal has a quaint, homely and welcoming feel to it. Although only one member of staff, she worked the bar and restaurant very well. The cooking was "up-market" bar food, done very well. Only one facet disappointed, when scallops are mentioned, you would expect just that, not one scallop sliced into three!!! Given that, the wine list was reasonable and overall the meal was very acceptable

   We used the Wheatsheaf as a "half-way" stop-off for lunch between London and Scotland, and it worked very well indeed. Despite the motorway delays we received a warm welcome and the food was very good. We will return I am sure.

   After a hard and very wet day on the fells the meal at The Wheatsheaf Brigsteerwas a perfect end to the day, particularly their early evening offer

   I thought the The Wheatsheaf-Brigsteer was serving good local food unpretentiously presented to good quality. Staff were pleasant and willing to help and very flexible.The loin of Venison was excellent

   This really is a lovely spot which we first found on a trip to the Lakes last year. The food, ambience etc were as good as we remembered it.
