The George in Allerdale

Mixed bag for dinner. Service and ordering was a bit slow and disorganised for a Monday night. Very dog friendly and cosy and great location.

I stayed here for a few nights on a trip to Keswick. The location is about as good as you could hope for, right in the center of town and a quick walk from the bus stop. The pub downstairs is fine but not great; I did not try their food so can't comment. The room itself was a good value for the money, with the comfortable bed (most important part!) being the highlight. My main criticism is that the WiFi was quite poor, the TV could use an update (there's no excuse not to own a smart TV in 2024... they're so cheap), and I wasn't able to get my shower working so opted to take baths. I was overcharged for my room by someone who made an honest mistake, and although I found it slightly frustrating, they fixed it for me without much hassle. All things considered, it's not luxury accommodation but it was perfectly fine for the promotional price I paid. I'm not sure it would be my first choice if I had to pay full price, but I've certainly stayed in worse places. 3/5

Absolutely love this place. The service is stellar and the staff cannot do enough for you. The food is excellent - we’ve never had a bad meal and The George is always one of our top choices when visiting Keswick. The rooms are basic but very comfortable and clean and good value for the price paid. Will definitely visit again.

Great location in the centre of Keswick. Lovely friendly staff, very comfortable stay, great English breakfast and delicious cow pie . Would definitely stay here again

Came in late for food and the kitchen fitted us in despite having closed a few minutes earlier. Amazing food the pies were insane!

3 night stay with friends. Oldie charactaristicpub. Excellent breakfast large choice, served by the lovely Stan, whom nothing was too much trouble for

Stayed 4 nights and enjoyed every minute. The staff made you feel very welcome and nothing was too much trouble. Food is great value and fresh both breakfast and evening dinner. Bedroom was large and comfortable. Look forward too staying again in the near future.

Very enjoyable stay at the George Hotel. Great choice of breakfast. Lovely clean comfortable bedroom and the staff were so courteous and welcoming. Would certainly stay here again.

Booked a table for 7.30pm last Saturday night for 8 people a group of friends, as we have eaten here previously over the years. On arrival we were asked if we could get drinks from the bar as they were short staffed. We were called to our table, on being seated we looked around and no other tables were eating no meals being served. Our food order was taken and we asked how long our food would be the member of staff replied sarcasticly about 20 minutes but that is a guess ? 8pm came and went appologies were given and were advised by a member of your staff they had no chef due to them being drunk the night before and they were not in, but were offered a free dessert, we said thanks and we would wait another half hour went by and we were offered free drinks from the bar, but we would have to fetch them and charge to the table, this we did not partake in, a further half hour had passed and we asked again thinking it would not be served shortly and your member of staff offered/advised to go elsewhere to eat, being a party of eight and being late we would struggle to get in elsewhere. One of our members left and checked a nearby establishment if they could accommodate us, they could. We asked to speak to the manager, who did come to our table and explain the no chef situation, but if you had no chef why not call your booked in customers earlier in the day to explain. That would have been GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE . Then to reply back to a member of our parties review added earlier today that it was all untrue !

09/03/24 restaurant booking,no chef at all,waited 2 hours after weak promises of fulfilling our order,just about got food elsewhere as this was a Saturday evening,felt extremely let down,spoilt our whole evening,owner just new could not fulfill our order for food,left us just sat waiting,dishonest with his promises

One star for the 2 people serving and cooking in this restaurant. Booked a table for 8 people weeks ago 7.30. Sat 9thMarch 2024. Entered the restaurant, was asked to go to the bar for our drinks as only 2 staff in. Asked how long food would take to being served, as the restaurant was full and no one was eating, 20 minutes . I asked be honest hope it's not 90 minutes. CANT say was the answer and the staff member would only say approximately 20 minutes . Gave benefit of doubt. Ordered the a main course only. 9.30 pm WALKED OUT. Offered a sweet for free for our wait at 8.30. At 9.30 asked to speak with the manager. He confirmed exactly what the member of staff said on taking our order. OUR CHEF WAS SACKED THIS MORNING AS HE DIDNT WANT TO COME TO WORK TONIGHT, AS HE GOT WASTED ( drunk) THE NIGHT BEFORE. Recommendation cancel all bookings until enough staff are available to service the restaurant, THE CUSTOMERS CAN THEN MAKE ALTERNATIVE ARRANGEMENTS. Do not discuss staffing problems with the customers.

After the Royal Oak..a Hotel with a bar I think this is a pub with rooms. More to Ic and Flic's taste. A little tired in places but full of character. There is a separate restaurant room but diners were chomping down in the two bar rooms. Ic and Flic had Wainwright amber..a Marston's beer. Good wine.

Really lovely pub! It needs more visitors. Warm welcome from the staff, they are friendly and engaging to talk too. Dogs welcome too and given treats. Recommend calling in for a pint and meal

My wife and I had an evening meal at the George Hotel on Thursday 22nd February 2024. My wife had the soy glazed salmon and I had the chicken, mushroom and cider pie. Both meals were excellent which we would both highly recommend. The staff and service was excellent and we would highly recommend to any one visiting Keswick to give the George a visit.

Great hospitality from Wes and Annette,do very helpful and friendly.Great location,good clean rooms and great food and drink.

Cow pie to die for came with sides of vegetables and separate gravy Makes a great change from meals coming swamped with gravy. Service was helpful and friendly staff.

I’ve repeatedly stayed here. It’s cosy and the breakfast is excellent. Stanley in particular is a warm and generous host.

Wasn't keen on this pub if I'm honest. Nothing particularly wrong with it, it just wasn't my thing. Seemed like it could do with a really good clean.

The photos on Google Maps definitely make it look better than what it is. It's a basic pub with basic food. Friendly staff.

Had the famous cow pie! OMG... The tastiest pie I have ever had. So worth a visit x

We booked to go here as a group of locals for an after work meal and drinks. Most of the party ordered a.pie and chips of some sort. When the meals arrived, we initially thought that the pies were raw, because the pastry was so pale and flat. The contents inside were meaty and hot, so they were cooked but the pastry was the worst I've ever seen. So disappointing after all the hype. We'd forgotten that it had been taken over by Marston's brewery and they have absolutely ruined the menu. Skinny oven chips instead of the old style ones they used to have. The restaurant staff were lovely but the bar staff were cold and a bit surly. As a local , I definitely will not be returning.

Second time we've stayed. Lovely clean room, excellent breakfast, as much as you can eat. Lovely friendly staff and dog friendly too. Would recommend

We didn’t eat here but popped in for a drink as we have visited here a few times over the years and previously enjoyed the atmosphere. The bar person who served was very unfriendly when I ordered the drinks. No smile or welcome. I don’t expect much but working with the public myself it costs nothing to be polite or friendly. We left as soon as drinks were finished. I wouldn’t return again.

I went in and asked a lady behind the stand for a spare table which there was, busy days best to book just in case. I ordered a drink, garlic mushrooms starter and a chicken main meal. The food was nice, the staff were polite and pleasant. Next time I am at keswick, I go back.

I am a regular visitor to Keswick ,usually visiting for a drink several times in the week and always a meal in the restaurant. I had seen the reviews and went for our first visit. 12.45 on market day and not a single customer in the pub. It was dead. Reviews seem to suggest this pub has been destroyed by the new corporate ownership and we did not visit again in our weeks stay. Very sad and shows how big business and breweries can destroy a lakes icon.

Bar staff unable to pull a proper pint of Wainwright in the correct glass. Pint lager more head than ever - Marstons Manager making her margins 🤦‍♂️. This is so quiet now. Restaurant no covers on a Sunday 430pm. Enjoy it else where this place sadly is a no for my family in future. Final point if a new mum wants to bring her screaming baby to the pub why sit next to the bar? Better places for this family.

Fabulous time away at the weekend with our friends staying at The George Hotel.... lovely clean rooms and fabulous food! ..highly recommend and the gentleman serving breakfast is fab... Thank you and see you again.soon!😁

Stopped here for lunch after dreaming about the homemade chips on my wet miserable walk, they are (were) the best ever. I was gutted to be presented with oven chips! I ordered scampi which was overdone. Partner got bangers and mash, which was also just average. The place seems to have changed hands. Even the orange squash was like dishwater. Staff were very friendly however food was just not up to scratch. Sad to say it but I certainly won’t be back after many years of this being a staple in my annual trip to Keswick.

I have been coming to the George since a young lad for the cow pie, since been taken over we thought we would still stay loyal and give it a go, absolutely gutted was really poor, meat was chewy and pastry terrible 😔 unfortunately will not be going back

Went for early dinner and had a great meal - lovely food at good prices. Wide choice for vegetarians and the Spinach and mushroom Lasagne was really tasty. We were very well attended to during the meal - the staff made sure that we were happy with everything and seemed to genuinely want us to have a positive experience. Would recommend.

Seated immediately by the lovely landlady. Stanley looked after us and bought our food out. The food was faultless. Steak and ale pie and chicken and mushroom pie, both with Mash, vegetables and gravy. Stanley’s sense of humour cracked me up. Hospitality is a difficult industry to be in and he had it covered. Thanks for a lovely meal.

My wife and I have been regular visitors to Keswick for many years, and a meal at The George has always been on the agenda, as good food and a great atmosphere were assured. Despite the more recent poor reviews (although those on their website appear much more glowing?) we decided to remain loyal and see for ourselves. Upon entering we had a look at the old snug room on the left, this used to be a room of great charm, with eclectic prints on the walls and assorted Knick knacks strewn around, and a lovely old fireplace with a roaring fire during the colder months. Sadly the room seems to have been largely stripped, and now seems quite austere and unwelcoming, there is now a table blocking the fireplace. Onto the bar area, this again used to be a place of great character, with assorted items of furniture, and was always crowded with a mix of locals and walkers. Again this space appears to have been stripped, losing its charm in the process. It appears to have been deserted by locals and walkers. The real ale pumps which used to have pride of place have been shunted into the far corner to make way for trendier offerings, and there is no longer the same variety on offer. My wife requested a glass of the medium range wine, not available!, they suggested an alternative which turned out to be more expensive. We had booked a table, were a little early but as we did not fancy lingering in the bar we made our way through to the restaurant, where we were greeted warmly and shown to our table. The menu now consists largely of the usual mainstream dishes, gone is the specials board, as are the game dishes, and the lovely lamb Henry. I chose the chicken and mushroom pie, my good lady the chicken and chorizo kebab. While we waited the couple at the next table were served, one had the steak and ale pie, the other the chicken pie. For some reason the size of the steak pie was significantly bigger than the chicken one. Granted it was a little more expensive, but you would think this would reflect the cost of the ingredients. A different disgruntled diner queried the discrepancy with the waiter, who said he would try to find a good answer, but he did not return. I consoled myself with the fact that my chicken pie would have less calories. Our food arrived, my pie was OK but a little bland, the pastry looked somewhat anaemic, and lacked flavour, which takes some doing. The buttery mash as described seemed to be on only nodding terms with the butter and again was bland. Everything needed more seasoning, especially a good hit of pepper. The veg however was well cooked. My wife said her kebab was nicely cooked, although the crumbed feta was hard to spot, and the pomegranate seeds even harder. There didn’t seem a lot for the price. The flat bread, which appeared to double up as the naan, was placed on top of grease proof paper, why would you? The diner next to use went for the cow pie, so I was quite excited to see it. I had visions of the pie of legend of bygone years, a succulent piece carved from the mother pie, the only uncertainty being whether you would get a corner or middle piece with their different pastry/meat ratios, it was special regardless Todays version is a pale imitation, pale also being the operative word when describing the pastry. It is an individually prepared portion, which would explain why no half size option, as you can’t cut the serving dish in half. Regrettably both the food, and the establishment appear somewhat soulless, and we can’t say we would return.

Out of 4 of us, 1 said the meal was good (the thai veg curry) the chicken kebab eater said it was very dry & served on greaseproof paper under it so every time you cut a piece of the flat bread it was on, you got paper with it, - the scampi eater left most of it, it was very dark brown, over cooked, dry & horrible & I had basically Hunters Chicken, but there was next to no bbq sauce in it, so very dry, it was so overcooked it was like shoe leather & hard to cut, chewy as anything. Soooo very disappointed. On a Saturday night, this cant have been the regular chefs night off, so very bad food. No we did not complain. The staff were lovely & if the chef is that rubbish, sending stuff back, kicking up a storm, just adds to their bad night & you never know how long you have to wait & if you are going to get something back with spit in it! Regular Keswick visitors (about 3 times a year) but we will not eat there again.

I ordered Baked Camembert cheese starter gluten free option,but was given Non gluten free, I asked as usual when I'm presented with my meal, is this gluten free? I was told, 'it should be!! the server then returned with the rest of order, he then took back my food & said better check with the kitchen, he then returned my food with Gluten Free bread, but in my opion they had just removed the gluten bread and just put gluten free bread on the same plate! With is totally unacceptable, I asked them correct their error & was told the kitchen had given me a complete new meal, to which I feel they were lying as crumbs from the original bread were still on the plate!! All other meals we ordered were very tasty and we'll presented

We tried the George for a Sunday lunch following its recent management change. We were shown to our table by the waitress whom came promptly for the drinks order, followed by the food order. After a 45 min wait, the Sunday roasts arrived. The initial thought was poor quality food. Under cooked roast potatoes, near to raw parsnips, dry Yorkshire puddings, dry mash and thin gravy (which is a personal preference). The main disappointment was the dry and tough beef. Had to ask for sauces and waitress missed the chance to ask for further drinks, but we already had decided to leave asap. I offered my feedback to the restaurant manager whom apologised, as I overheard another customer adjusting what he was prepared to pay for his meal. The George was always a highlight of our regular stays in Keswick, but based upon this experience, I will not return.

Preferable to a lot of local establishments but not as good as it used to be. Cow pie half now discontinued - burger and chips pretty bland - scampi with frozen peas same. Eatable though and priced accordingly. Nice clean eating area with actually no...

This is our 3rd visit to The George Hotel and I hate to say but since being taken over the food is poor. We had lasagne and it was very bland, the fish pie was dry and the drinks took ages to come. It’s really...

What a place !! I couldn’t fault this pub and hotel enough. Very welcoming from start to finish. I really thought the new land lady was the best. Annette was lovely. Made you feel welcome. The breakfast was sensational and the beers and service from...

Was staying local so booked and had a Sunday roast, sadly a bit of a disappointment. For the oldest Inn in Keswick, it should have been a lot better. Service was ok. Staff were ok, food was slightly less than ok. Don't get me wrong...

Excellent service from well informed, polite, professional staff, but unfortunately not the standard of food expected of the George of previous pre takeover years. Good sized hearty portions but not the quality (frozen reheated veg) that we expected. No half Cow Pie portions or chicken...

Value for money is 100% Tasted superb (fish & chips - steak pie) Will definitely return here. Service was very pleasant.

We’ve eaten at The George many times over the years so I was unsure whether to eat here again due to the mixed reviews. We arrived on a very busy Saturday night and they very kindly changed our reservation from 2 people to 4. We...

We’ve been coming here for years and the food was spot on but it has gone drastically down hill. My friend order a mixed grill; it was dry and over cooked. I had the pie which was fairly decent but the gravy was watered down...

Not the place it used to be but trades on its old reputation. Barman rude arrogant a.hole, food overpriced and poor quality, shame as had been going here for years, never again now

Booked 18.30 ordered food by 18.45, checked on orders 19.15, informed steak ordered not available!. Reordered, walked out at 20.00, 1 star for waitress zero for gutless chef who wouldn't come out of kitchen!

Looked up menu on line and discovered lots of delicious looking vegan options. We arrived at the George and were told it had changed hands and that menu was no longer. Our choices were from 2 mediocre vegan options and no desserts. So disappointed. Please...

We had the most enjoyable stay. Staff very friendly, lovely atmosphere. From our room to the public areas the place is spotless. Breakfast was really good too. Would definitely revisit.

Walk past . We're are not a fussy couple at all but that food last night was awful . Cheap big burgers with a cheese slice on top . Absolutely tasteless and rubbery texture . Chips were cooked so much they were orange and crispy...

Good beer but the food quality is now very poor under the new tenants. This used to be our favourite restaurant (partly due to cow pie) but after a really disappointing meal last night for my husband’s birthday, we will not be good back.

We have been here before, and it's been ok........but, boy, things have plummeted to an all time low. We booked a table for our yearly visit...turned up and were seated. Our meal arrived and the guy taking orders said (as he walked away) don't compare...

There are some venues that you hold dear because of the great times you have enjoyed there with friends over many years. The George, a cosy, bustling, welcoming pub was one such place. But not any more. The new management have managed to ruin everything...

To say distraught is an understatement, life will never be the same again without the famous pie. :(

We came here tonight for dinner, the nicest meal I've had in years! Really friendly manager lady and kind waiter being kind to my 9 year old son. Had a great evening thank you.

We’ve eaten here numerous times over the past few years and this was our first evening back since the change in ownership. The menu is different and there is no denying that the food is different to how it used to be. However, that said...

We ate here tonight when they were having to turn away people who hadn't booked. Luckily we had booked a couple of days earlier. The restaurant has only recently re opened and they are still in need of more staff and have limited the menu...

£ 12.95 for a quarter pound beef burger, fries and a salad is good value in Keswick at the moment, when many Market Place pubs and restaurants are charging at least £ 15. The George certainly doesn't skip on portions either as the salad and...

Meal ok but when asked if their side dishes (such as chips), advertised as vegetarian we're cooked in oil that had also been used for fish or meat, they wouldn't answer. So assume yes. If it has they shouldn't be advertised as vegetarian or vegan.

Portions are huge. We didn't have starters and had no room for pudding. We would have liked a pudding, but the mains were massive, and we couldn't stop eating them because the food was very, very nice. Two of us had the steak pie which...

An excellent meal after a long walk over the fells. Food and beer were first class and the bar service was really good. It was really busy so booking advised but controlled and enjoyable
