Food at Jiggers in Allerdale

Este restaurante está cerrado, qué pena, es una excelente ubicación en la entrada de un campamento lleno de actividades, pero parece que nunca genera ganancias.

Acabo de regresar de una estadía de 1 noche en una cápsula en Castlerigg Hall y decidí intentarlo de nuevo. ha cambiado de manos desde que fuimos en julio y la comida que ahora se sirve en el menú está 100% mejorada. La lasaña era realmente deliciosa y mi compañero comió brwast de pollo en una salsa de vino blanco. Solo espero que mantengan el chef y el menú que tienen ahora hasta que regrese en el año siguiente. Bien hecho al chef y al personal. Sigan los buenos chicos de trabajo Tracey y marcin x

Visité a Jiggers para una visita de regreso este año. El restaurante parece haber cambiado de manos y leemos críticas muy variadas, pero siempre nos gusta hacer nuestra propia opinión. Reservamos una mesa para 3 más 2 perros grandes y pedimos que estuvieran un poco apartados, así que los perros no nos molestaron a nadie, esto no fue un problema y nos asignaron una mesa grande muy agradable. La camarera era muy amable y eficiente, nada era un problema y al contrario de las críticas anteriores, el chef nos pareció ocupado pero agradable. La comida era deliciosa, con porciones grandes y una buena relación calidad-precio. Mis hijas dijeron que la lasaña era increíble y que disfruté muchísimo de la salchicha de Cumberland. Sin duda volveremos la próxima vez que estemos en Keswick.

We booked for 19:00, but our main meals weren’t serviced until gone 20:30. Tasty food and good portions for fried food. Salmon dishes were small. Restaurant is not large so it may be good to book a table especially at weekends.

We visited here on our last day at the campsite and loved it, we had two full English breakfasts an apple juice and a pot of tea and everything was lovely. The service was good and it was nice to be able to see the chef preparing and cooking the food from scratch. The prices where reasonable and the portions where just right, the atmosphere was lovely nice and quiet, nice traditional decor and a lovely view down to the campsite.

Called in here as had been previously (2017). New staff. Unfortunately found them quite rude and food rushed and not great quality.

Went here for our tea the staff very friendly and welcoming, chef very rude to staff and customers food very poor will not be going back

Had our tea here whilst we were staying on site. The service was great but the food wasn’t and we thought that it was overpriced. The staff were very friendly and polite but this cannot be said for the chef who was very rude to us. Do not think we will be going back to this restaurant.

Thought that having a captive market in a campsite would mean overpriced, poor food but we really enjoyed our meal. The food was excellent and service friendly and unobtrusive. Would thoroughly recommend.

We really enjoyed the food at Jiggers on Friday evening. The veggie burger was excellent and the fish risotto was great. A simple menu, cooked to perfection. The service was excellent too, really welcoming and attentive but also relaxed. Try the chocolate fudge cake and ice cream.

I cannot speak highly enough of this great little restaurant. Sensibly priced and really good food. Not a huge range but everything we ate was spot on for the kids and us adults. Great pizzas. Not sure about the salad in the middle of the pizza, but they did provide me with a bowl instead. Friendly and efficient service. So convenient for us campers too. Please keep up the good work. You deserve to do well.

Just returned from a four night stay at castlerigg hall and had two meals in the evening from jiggers.my partner had the roasted lamb which was divine and i had the lasagne which is delicious.the next evening we both had the burgers which again was delicious,food was served quickly even though it was busy.i will return here again next year but i feel the menu is very limited.more traditional meals like gammon or steak i feel would go down a treat.

We stay on Castlerigg Hall campsite a couple of times a year and Jiggers is always on our list, the food is very nice, the staff are friendly and the place is nice and cosy especially in the winter when it’s cold outside, they allow dogs in too. A must visit for campers and visitors alike.

We ate here twice and was not disappointed, lovely food great service ! Shame there is not more to choose on the menu , but they do have a specials board.

Quite pricy but excellent breakfast. Friendly staff and dog friendly. Would recommend the chorizo on crumpets, very tasty!

We had booked, no problem. Clean, busy. Friendly service, good food and drink. Decent surroundings and food. An excellent evening meal.

Lovely little restaurant sitting on the terrace with a fantastic view. Food was amazing. Really tasty. A little pricey but nice. Service was spot on. Fast and friendly service. !!! Highly recommended the salmon. !!

We were just going to order takeaway pizzas as our 2 year old isn't very good at sitting still. The restaurant was quite and the waitress very friendly so we decided to eat in.

Stayed at the campsite and was looking forward to trying the food.

Delicious food prepared from locally sourced products. Varied menu and perfectly cooked food. Staff can't do enough for you and and an amazing view from the terrace looking out over Derwent Water and the surrounding fells.

We have stayed at Castlerigg Hall many times over the past 8 years, we tried Jiggers for an evening meal a few years ago when it was under different management and the food was poor. Last year we had breakfast there under the new management and that was also poor, so it put us off trying an evening meal. We had an evening meal with a friend on the 30th September and it was the best meal I had eaten on our 2 weeks holiday, I had the mushroom & chestnut dish with a sweet potato topping, lovely fresh vegetables and mash, my husband had the Cumberland swirl and our friend had the Hungarian soup, we all agreed how good the food was, the staff were friendly and there was a nice atmosphere. I only regret was that we hadn't tried it at the start of our holiday then we could have eaten there a few times, there is always next year

Even if your not staying at the Castlerigg Hall Campsite it's worth trying. There is a varied menu for all tastes (including vegetarian) which is mainly locally sourced and made on site. There is a good selection of beers and wine as well. In the summer there is an outside terrace with views towards the lake. The service was relaxed but efficient and we were told how the dishes were made or sourced as we were served. Little restaurants like this in relatively out of the way locations restore your faith in British food (even if the chef is Hungarian)

Staying at a neighbouring campsite who's restaurant was closed we popped into Jiggers to ask if it would be ok to eat though we weren't residents and had our dog with us.

We were camping at Castlerigg Hall for a week so decided to eat out one night at Jiggers.

Arrived on the campsite in very heavy rain and high wind. Had seen good reviews about this restaurant and we weren't disappointed. Had lovely venison casserole which was just what was needed on such an evening. Staff were very friendly and the menu clearly marked with gluten free options. We will be going back before the end of our stay.

Had a lovely meal on our first and last night. Would definitely recommend, excellent food, good service and pleasant atmosphere.

Jiggers is advertised as dog friendly and it lives up to its promise but I feel it goes too far. I watched one of the staff stroke a dog then go on to serve a customer without washing his hands. I complained to one of the staff who told me they all wash their hands if they have stroked a dog. I pointed out that this had not happened so she reminded the staff to wash hands after stroking dogs. I'm amazed they were allowed to stroke dogs at all while serving.

Staying at the Castlerigg Hall Campsite encouraged us to try the restaurant there. We were surprised to find that the crisps are handmade and freshly fried, delicious, good beer & organic wine is available and a varied menu for all tastes, as vegetarians we were actually spoiled for choice. We had a meal on several occasions with a diverse group, everyone was impressed. We visit Keswick a lot and have never thought of trying Food at Jiggers, but the location with lovely a lovely terrace and the quality of the food and service will certainly bring us back again next year!

We were staying at campsite opposite and wished to have a meal out for our last night in the area. First thought was to head into Keswick but after a long day in the hills could not find the energy or enthusiasm so decided to try Jiggers - and we were so delighted we came here. The staff were exceptionally friendly and the food was top class with a good range of vegetarian options which, as a veggie, I found most enlightening. Prices were very reasonable so highly recommend this restaurant.

Stayed at the campsite for two nights and ate here both nights. Really friendly staff, good value and lovely fresh food. We had the beetroot and chilli goats cheese rosti starter and pork, apple, pepper pot which was excellent. The lamb was very well cooked and my wife enjoyed the chestnut and wild mushroom dish. Would recommend to all.

The at Jiggers is absolutely delicious, home made and freshly cooked. The service too is extremely good. One of the REAL plus factors is that the restaurant is dog friendly.

We were staying at the campsite and on our last day decided to pack up and go for a breakfast before setting off home. We had the full Cumbrian breakfast and it was excellent. A real breakfast that you know you have had when finished . We were served quite quickly and the food was piping hot.

On a camping trip we chose to eat at the restaurant for our final night. The food was reasonably priced, if a little expensive, and the service was average. We ordered a range of things - tomato pasta bake, fish and chips, falafel salad, sesame chicken and a frittata. The falafel salad was fairly disappointing - plain, no hummus, a small portion. The sesame chicken went down fairly well. Overall its a good restaurant for an easy, nice meal, although don't bother spending too much or going out of your way to visit.

We have eaten here before. I have been looking forward to The Full Cumbrian breakfast. It did not disappoint, so we booked in for the evening meal, asking for a window seat, al the better to see the great view towards Derwentwater in rain or sunshine. Great walk, great campsite shower, great appetite. Perfect table, great food and not too expensive. A nice pint of Blacksheep to go with my meal. A range of bottled beers were also available.

The food was ok, the sevice was not, very slow and all he staff that where on duty disappeared when an order was made all hands to the pumps ect, if you wanted another drink long wait for someone to appear, also take aways put undue pressure on the kitchen which reflects the slow service, all food cooked to order is a Kop out, most of the mains are via microwave,heated to order although the chips seem to be fresh,

Evening meal delicious,well presented hot staff great all couldn't do enough Attention to detail Breakfast spot on massive portions .If your staying on camp or at castlerigg farm visit You won't be disappointed.Hayloft on farm site rubbish this time round .That's why we called at jiggers .

Arrived at the camp site and booked in for a meal, please book as its a small venue but great meals await. We had the lamb, the wild boar burger and the gnocchi, all well cooked and good portion size with fresh veg and salads.

We'd been for a really long walk on the Saturday that we stayed on the adjacent campsite and so didn't fancy walking back down into Keswick to get something to eat. Having had a look at the menu that morning which had plenty of hearty sounding meals on it we decided to eat here and I'm glad we did!

This restaurant is on the Castlerigg Hall Caravan park and is a real gem. We booked a table (does not seem to be strictly necessary) as it was my birthday. On arrival we found the table to be decorated with a banner and a slice of cake with a candle, such a surprise. All the staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. They went out of their way to make sure we, along with others in the restaurant were made to feel at home and received the best of care. The menu had plenty of choice for starters, mains and desserts along with several specials on a separate board. The food was excellent and very well presented. I had sesame coated chicken breast and my husband had steak along with fresh veggies and new potatoes. The problem we had was trying to decide on a dessert as they all sounded wonderful. This restaurant also offers a take out meal facility for those staying on site. The whole experience of Food at Jiggers was a very welcome surprise. A big thank you to everyone who works so hard to provide excellent food and also make your guests feel so welcome.
