Been over a year since last in Keswick and we’re pleased to see Merienda still operating. Breakfast menu is that little bit different ( tasty corn bread) and set us up well for the day’s walking.

Me and my girlfriend went on our anniversary meal here and also ate here ago on the same day. I had the salmon special and she had the pulled pork burger, both delicious and I even got to try a lakes lager which was cold and zesty. We then had the sticky toffee pudding to share for dessert which was by far the best dessert I’ve had at a restaurant. It was quite a quiet night but it’s probably because it was a Sunday night. Overall lovely night with lovely food and a wonderful date.

To finish our weekend off in Keswick we wanted before we left a full English breakfast. We chose the Marienda . Lovely inside the service was warm & friendly. The food was served quickly and the full English breakfast was lovely and very well priced. A great way to finish a great weekend.

A wonderful breakfast and the best flat white I’ve had on my trip up to the lakes…. I opted for poached eggs, avocado and smoked salmon, a welcome change from the last few mornings of full English breakfast. The waitress was very friendly. Good portion size, and very reasonably priced compared to some of the other brekki places in the centre. Grab the window seat, kick back, relax and watch the world go by 👍

We have stayed in Keswick previously and always enjoyed Merienda, we were staying elsewhere in the Lake District however were pleased to fit in a ‘pit stop’ at this fabulous establishment. We only had room for cake and coffee however enjoyed a ‘huge and delicious’ cheese scone and a fabulous slice of pistachio and blueberry cake. Amazing food, with at times a little twist, an absolute must.

Having visited a few years ago and had a great experience, we felt a little let down this time. Staff were friendly, but we seemed to be waiting a while for plates to be cleared/next course etc. My husband asked for no onions on his burger and was told that there was onion powder in it which was fine, but when it arrived it had lots of cooked onion mixed in with the burger. I had salmon which was delicious. Prices were expensive, would probably look somewhere else next time.

It seemed like a very quiet night when we were there. We booked our table for 7pm, and when we arrived they wanted to seat us right in the window by the front door, it was a cold night and i didnt fancy getting an icy blast each time the door was opened so we asked to sit further inside, which was accommodated. Once we got comfy and ordered drinks it quickly became apparent there was a distinct lack of atmosphere in the place… deathly quiet even though other tables were in. We felt like we had to whisper because you didnt want the rest of the place to overhear your conversation. It seemed like the speakers were only working in the back of the restaurant, so if you were in the front half it was absolutely dead silent… why not fix the speakers? The menu was really quite expensive, about £20 for a normal meal on the regular menu. The salad was really overdressed with a massive puddle of thick balsamic glaze, the wedges were absolutely flavourless, perfectly edible but literally just plain fried potato, no seasoning… nothing. As plain as a plain thing could be. The pork was very tasty and there was loads of it. Once everyone else started to leave by about 19.45 we were the only ones in there, so we finished up our meal, paid and left by 20.00 - it made sense why they wanted to seat us in the window… so the place didnt look empty. Won’t be returning.

Best breakfast in Keswick! We’ve been coming here for our breakfasts over the past 9 years every time we visit Keswick and we’ve never once been disappointed. The food is outstanding! Lots of different breakfast options that you won’t find on other menus. I’ve had most of the items from the breakfast section and they’re all extremely tasty, fresh and packed full of flavour. The staff are all incredibly friendly and bring out everything super quickly. Absolutely lovely coffee, hot chocolate and cakes too! Can’t wait to come back :-)

Restaurant was very cute and nicely set out. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Food was average which was a shame. Nothing I couldn’t have cooked myself at home. Starter was very nice, had the pork and kimchi wontons which I would recommend. My boyfriend had the Grilled Jerk Chicken Leg which didn’t have any real seasoning to it, especially not jerk. Truffle wedges didn’t taste of truffles. I had one of the specials and again was average in taste. Would recommend if you just want an average quick meal, but as I said staff were friendly so can’t fault them there.

Found this cafe to have an inviting, welcoming atmosphere. Staff friendly and helpful. Food excellent, well prepared and presented and good size potions (I was sat best to the servings hatch so saw a far few meal pass by). I'll hopefully pop in again 👌.

Had gone for lunch in Jane St Kitchen and was told they only served upstairs on a Monday and Tuesday after summer. But don’t be fooled it’s not the same quality upstairs as down. Ordered some kids meals which were ok but the sandwiches were a complete let down. Described as served on White Bloomer bread I was expecting my Beef and Horseradish sandwich to be as good a quality as the bistro menu I’ve had in the evening. What I got was cheap sliced white with dry overcooked meet. Not even sure anything else apart from overly spread marge. For something that cost £8 and took 25 minutes to come felt like daylight robbery. Not sure will be back, and definitely not for lunch. Would have been cheaper and nicer to get a sandwich from M&S and sit on a bench.

We stayed here for 2 nights.First impressions didn’t look like the picture shown in the advertising. A good lick of paint is needed.When we went to check in 2 members of staff behind the bar looked at us then ignored us and continued their conversation ( not a good start).Another member of staff then came up to us, checked us in then showed us to our room. The room was very musty and basic. It was apparent on the walls where damp was an issue.We were not given any information on where to eat or anything.The meals were good, I had the scampi on the first night and must say it was wonderful.The steak on the 2nd night was also good and the breakfasts were fine.The bar area was very basic and quite drab. In fact the hotel could do with a good refurbishment.Staff worked hard but there didn’t seem to be any management or co ordination of staff. There were very long waits for foodOn our last morning there there was a lady, who we had not seen on our last 2 days, ( she said loudly she had 20 grandchildren) she suggested to a young boy that he stood on his chair to pour his breakfast cereal.This seemed to go against any covid protocols and health and safety
