One of, if not the best pubs in Keswick. Great beers with three regulars and four or more ever changing ones. Food is excellent as well, though as it gets busy getting a table can be a challenge - though you can always get another great beer whilst waiting. Highly recommended.

This is a really decent, honest pub with good beer, great food and friendly staff. You can't really ask for much more.

First time here & we were pleasantly surprised. There was plenty of meat & a good selection of vegetables. The only criticism was the parsnips had been coated in black pepper which wasn't to my taste. There was also plenty of mashed & roast potatoes, plus a large Yorkshire pudding. We would return if in the area again.

Outstanding pub! What a find this was. Local ales and plenty to choose from. Dog friendly and easy to get to. The staff are wonderful and chatty with a great sense of humour. The food was phenomenal!!! Had the steak and ale pie which was just melt in the mouth. Husband has the burger and was super tasty. Had to have pudding of sticky toffee pudding with ice cream which was also amazing. Friends are travelling up here later this week and will be recommending that they stop here.

Real beer, great food, lovely ambiance. There are always a good range of well kept beers on tap including some local ones. We went for lunch and thoroughly enjoyed burgers and the sour dough baguettes. You wait a little for the food but that’s because it’s cooked fresh and is well worth the wait. The pub is full of walking memorabilia which adds to the experience.

Great food, great service, great pie! Only issue is that the board outside the pub states it serves food 'til 9. But I saw a family being turned away at 8.45. The board really needs amending to clarify this.

Nice pub with some outside seating. Decent choice of local beers. Interesting toilets with tiled floors and old styled urinals my hubby says but didn't see myself!

Visited during the very busy beer festival weekend but the staff were friendly and helpful and served us promptly every time. Beer and cider perfect and although we didn't eat, the food looked great. We ended up going back there again.

Very friendly staff, child and dog friendly. They do a very good portion for the children's menu aswell. Highly recommended 🙌🏼

Best pub ever!!!! You will meet the whole life’s worth of dogs in here. Perfect for dog lovers. Food was so good! The steak was cooked for medium rare and it delivered! The chips were made freshly, so creamy. Huge cod, thinly wrapped in batter. Tried the local gin from Grasmere, so good! Nothing like bombay or hendricks - which taste a bit too alcoholic for me. That was smooth! Highly recommend.

This is a spacious pub with a front and back room. It's comfortable and warm in winter so worth a visit. Plenty of walking information and videos showing in the back area in honour of Wainwright. The front room is brighter and looks onto the street. Worth a visit.

Nice place, dog friendly. Staff were a bit rude about me ordering a chip butty….. which was all unnecessarily confusing. I ordered it, then I was told they can’t do a chip butty, so I asked if they have bread and chips, then I was told I couldn’t order them together, so I just ordered chips, then someone came over and said I could order a bread roll to go with it, but by then I was fed up and said no thanks. Chips were homemade and very good, service needs work.

We called in for a light lunch and it was delicious. We opted for the soup of the day which was Minestrone. This very tasty soup was served with a mini loaf of onion bread. Excellent combination. We'll be back next time we are in Keswick. Can highly recommend. BTW the food other diners had ordered looked tasty too. 😊
