The Keekle Inn in Copeland

Been here twice now, and on both occasions the food has been delicious. It’s seriously the nicest pizza I’ve had, alongside the sides and dips. Really nice, authentic style pizza. On this occasion however, the customer service was really slow and we did feel completely ignored. We got seated straight away which was good. The waiter seeing to us was clearly new, so was confused when taking our cocktail orders, which was fine, not an issue. Food ordered, great. From then on it was really not great. Only one cocktail came, and the manager himself (Italian gent?) brought the second out, and apologised. This was fine. When it came to us finishing our food, we were left waiting a really long time. We did want to take some leftovers home, and order more drinks and dessert and kept trying to catch the attention of staff but they did not seem to walk by us. In the 40 minutes roughly we waited after finishing our meals, the waitress had seen to the table next to us four times, and ignored us. Brought their food over, then, came back asked if they wanted anything else, then to bring them their second drinks, then to finally clear their table, despite being 30 minutes behind us. The waiter had also been by us 3 times and did not see to us. I’d give this place a second chance on account of the quality of food, but really hoping it’s better service next time. Appreciate people are new and perhaps not as attentive which I’d always give space for, but in those cases the manager could ensure that all tables are being seen to. We left and didn’t get to take any food back as our lift had been waiting a long time by this point and just wanted to go. The manager did apologise for the time waiting for our drinks, which I appreciated, but this was way less time than the 40 minutes we had been ignored for, after finishing our food.

The Keekle Pub offers outstanding service in a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The staff clearly takes pride in their work, making every guest feel valued. Their authentic pizza is full of flavour and made with high-quality ingredients. If you're seeking great hospitality and delicious food, The Keekle Pub is the place to go. We came on instinct and necessity, the next time we return, it’s out of expectation and anticipation of another quality experience- Highly recommended!

Great service and a lovely stylish place, the Pizza was amazing and the wedges were brilliant , we enjoyed the Japanese lager, it’s a yes from me.

If Carlsberg did pizzas this would be the place, probably the best pizza that I've ever had! Can't fault the staff, the quality of food and the interior ambience was just 100%.

We absolutely love the Keekle Inn. Friendly staff, fantastic pizza and wedgies. Having had pizza in numerous places all over Italy I can say their neapolitan style pizza's are brilliant for a small local business.

Absolutely fabulous always is... fantastic to see it buzzing the food is worth any wait. Gives us time to have pre drinks and a catch up with friends before dining. Well done !!!!

I honestly couldn’t rate this place high enough. The bar staff are fantastic, I didn’t catch their name but the blonde one, brunette and the Italian gentleman couldn’t have been more attentive. The pizzas were brilliant, we had a Keekle Dragon and a nice easy Pepperoni along with several brilliant cocktails. The chef made an appearance to ask how we found our pizzas and was extremely polite. I will be recommending to friend and family, no where else in the area comes close - Brilliant.

Not pleasant experience. Posts on socials state new experienced staff, yet we found him very rude, inattentive and kept cleaning with mops around us. Far from friendly. He kept prompting if we wanted drinks to basically get rid of us. Quality of food was average, and very greasy. The chef himself is the boss, from the menu write up. However, the way he and others dress is frankly off putting and not at the level of cleanliness you expect as a chef. He came into the bar area with kitchen shoes and dirty clothes. Makes you think what’s actually going on with qualifications and hygiene in this place. Place lost its friendliness and sense of a family run place.

Really lovely meal would come to eat here again. However as soon as I came to the bar to be seated by one of the members of staff the only other staff member on the bar was shouting at the younger girl infront of customers I didn’t think this was very professional and I have never witnessed something like such in a restaurant.

Amazing little find. Lovely atmosphere. Incredibly welcoming and friendly staff. Their bar is really well stocked and they had a couple of very tasty local ales. Their cocktails list looked really tasty as well. But the stand out was their pizzas. Proper top draw wood fired pizzas. I had the calzone and my wife had the Proscuitto e Fungho. Very tasty. And they let you take your leftovers if you can't finish. Would throughly recommend to everyone around this area. Was well worth the drove from out hotel.

Fantastic, absolutely brilliant food, lovely helpful staff, great furniture and surprisingly pleasant atmosphere ABSOLUTELY RECCOMEND

We went to Keekle Inn on a bank hol Sunday as a family of 4 to meet up with our friends and their kids. Good pizza selection on the menu and reasonable prices. The pizzas came and where perfect- perfectly cooked and toppings really fresh, clean plates all round! Despite it being busy, staff we're brilliant and asked us if anyone wanted more drinks frequently, you don't often find service as good as this any more. Would definitely recommend and will be back.

Really excellent pizzas and very welcoming venue and staff! Delicious food and good selection of drinks. Kids pizzas were rated as awesome too.

Some of the nicest pizza we’ve ever had. The dough was light and everything was fresh and tasty. My boyfriend absolutely loved his and he’s not even that big on pizza! Will definitely return

The most incredible fresh cooked pizza and garlic bread Great atmosphere and really lovely staff 10/10!

Great selection of Pizzas, beautifully cooked, large selection of reasonably priced cocktails to accompany the meal. The pizzas were possibly the best I’ve ever tasted, so good. Will definitely return.

Good value. Best pizzas in cumbria, great selection of drinks and friendly staff. Highly recommend to everyone. I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

The best place to come! Very friendly place to come as a a couple and with family! Great service and very good food! Josh and Fiona are amazing!!! Definitely a regular!

Great tasting fresh pizzas and ice cream desserts plus well stocked bar, served by friendly staff in cosy atmosphere.

My daughter and I visited for pizza and cocktails - it’s beautifully renovated, has lovely staff and a small but delicious menu of wood fired pizzas, sides & salads. Would definitely recommend if you’re in the area

If you like Pizza and pints this is the place to be. Lots of pizza to choose from which the dough is homemade and cooked in a stone baked pizza oven. Lots of beers on draught.

Had an absolutely delicious pizza in this friendly pub. Generous portions and good choice of toppings and sides. The best pizza that I have tasted since eating in Italy. The service was quick and efficient, the staff were helpful and friendly. The pub has recently been refurbished and has a pleasant atmosphere. I thoroughly recommend this restaurant if you fancy a pizza.

Excellent pizza. Staff very attentive who can’t do enough to help and great atmosphere. Favourite local pub. Highly recommend

The food here is amazing! Coming from Manchester we are used to trendy pizza restaurants and therefore we didn’t have any great expectations. We were very wrong. The pizza dough is fabulous and there is a wide selection of toppings including veggie and vegan choices....

Great pub, with regular entertainment,. Good selection of gin. Car park opposite great views towards ennerdale valley

A great pub welcoming and plenty of chatime and a friendly clientele. Bear was averagely priced and a mix of local and usual beers.

This is a lovely little traditional pub which has a really friendly atmosphere, friendly staff, good ales on tap (at a good price) a good area to sit outside, a open fire inside. I would highly recommend this pub if you are in the area.
