   This was our first time of eating at the Pig and Whistle having enjoyed a drink there a couple of times. We were made welcome and shown to our table. The mains quickly followed the starters , we should have asked for a gap in between courses. The wine was enjoyable and we left feeling pleasantly full.

   Excellent food and friendly efficient service. The Pig and Whistle has a lovely cosy atmosphere and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it for an evening out or just a simple meal. We booked online but unfortunately our booking hadn't filtered through to the pub. Despite this and despite it being very busy, a table was found for us and we were made very welcome.

   We booked for a meal on Sat 29th July but the food was very disappointing. Myself and girlfriend both chose from the specials board so I had the goat curry and she chose the duck. The goat was very gristley although the meal itself tasted fine. My girlfriends duck was very chewy and hard to cut. We will be going back to cartmel but would only go back to the pig and whistle for a drink. I'll add that the service was good and the staff friendly so no complaints there.

   We arrived in pouring rain but the cosy bar with fire lit and welcome from the staff very soon put us at ease.Our table was available exactly as arranged and we opted for three courses as the Sticky Toffee Pudding could not be refused when in Cartmel. The quality of all the dishes was excellent and we hope to return as soon as possible.

   A delicious meal and excellent service. The Pig and Whistle is a lovely old pub and the dining room has been refurbished.

    They did not have our booking. We were lucky to find a table elsewhere as it was last minute and we where a group of 6.
