Rezillos Ices in Allerdale

A lovely characterful food van and cafe - delicious! Space outside to sit and undercover tables too.

Visited this lovely cafe this weekend, was met with a warm friendly welcome which brightened a damp, dull day,an excellent choice on menu and a fab choice of cakes very reasonable prices, nice cozy atmosphere with lots of interesting things around , if you’re visiting or staying in or around Keswick we would %100 say give this amazing cafe a visit.

Precis: Wow! Excellent! Any other superlative you choose! Full review: What a wonderful gem of a find! From the start the welcome was warm and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble for Gary, Donna and their team; what a diamond they have found in Jack! The quality of the furnishings is very high, the fittings top class and the home made biscuits in the bedroom were delicious! Even a welcome decanter of sherry to start off your stay! The hallway walls are adorned with award plaques from numerous organisations! The grounds were extensive and very well kept. We had read about the wild red squirrels and hoped we may get to spot one - no fears there; we watched them running around the garden and feeder each day! Now for the food! Absolutely excellent! Each evening started at 7pm with canapés and good conversation with fellow guests, most of whom seem to be repeat visitors, with good reason! Gary is very personable and quite the bon viveur, his knowledge of wine is excellent, after all by his own admission he has been in the game for a good number of years! The four course dinner menu is set, no choices, but the menu is on display each morning and I'm sure that alternatives could be organised if enough notice were given. Each course was exquisite, served piping hot (where appropriate!) and presented beautifully, as was the table in general. Service was efficient, friendly and knowledgeable. Breakfast was just as good! Hazel Bank has seven rooms and the restaurant is open only to residents. All this means that each guest gets very personal, and personable, service from start to finish! If you think that this review is a little enthusiastic then I doubt you've visited! Don't get me wrong, it isn't for everybody and nowhere is totally perfect, but Hazel Bank gets VERY close!

The Ye Olde Greyhound Inn was recommended to us as a little gem of a pub. I pre booked, which was a wise option. The place was very busy with three groups celebrating a 70th, 60th and a family get together. The atmosphere was cosy, not loud, and the service was excellent, as was the food. Good selection of beers to wet your taste buds. Overall, it was an excellent evening meal, fully enjoyed by both of us, and our dog CJ, who found a nice warm place under the table to Snooze. Fully recommend.

Exceptional traditional bakery. Quality bread top notch pies to suit all palates cakes and more. Staff very helpful and friendly Well worth a visit
