The Lakeland Sandwich Shop in Allerdale

We visit Keswick every year and always use the sandwich shop at least twice when we are there. The food is always great with plenty of fillings and wide variety of sandwich’s. The service is always great and the prices are really competitive. Overall highly recommended.

Been coming here for many years. Always a start place for sandwiches etc for a day out walking. Things seem to have changed since last year- service offhand, staff sullen, no conversation, food good as always. However, presented a full card showing 10 visits to claim free sandwich (of which i have two or three more) only to find they no longer accept them. In fact not for a year or so. Might have been fairer if they had stopped issuing these cards rather than refuse full cards collected in the past. Not to worry. Just making the point.

Nice selection of hot & cold sandwiches to choose from. I ordered crab salad in a bun. It was fresh, tasty & nicely presented. Unfortunately, the following morning, the breakfast sandwich I ordered wasn't correct & I received bacon (which I can't stand) instead of sausage. The dog loved it though. I'd still buy a cold sandwich from here again as their choice of bun & fillings are spot on.

Excellent choice of fillings for Baguettes, rolls and Ciabatta. Well served and prepared in your view. Our Baguettes were very well filed and delicious.

If your looking for a bite to eat and don’t want to pay through the nose for a meal at a pub etc then this is the place, decent sized portions at decent prices! We had the minute steak with stilton 🤤 Well worth the money, the food was delicious and the girl serving was lovely! Only shame was i didn’t have any cash to leave a tip!

Fantastic sandwich shop in the heart of Keswick! We first visited a couple of years ago and were pleased to see the shop is still here today. They offer loads of choices for sandwiches, cobs, baguettes etc... meats, seafood, salad and more! I'm also a huge fan because they offer made-to-order gluten free sandwiches. It's so nice to have the choice of fillings and it also being a fresh lunch. They take dietary requirements seriously as when I asked for a GF sandwich, I was asked if I was Coeliac or not (which I am). The countertop was cleaned down, new gloves, new knife, new sandwich filling to avoid all cross-contamination. Fantastic, I couldn't say a bad word about our experience. The prawn with Marie rose sauce was delicious. Was around £5-7 each, depending on your filling. I'd recommend grabbing a sandwich from here to take on your long walk around the Lakes.

Superb bacon sandwich and sausage gets daughters approval. Went to Greggs but clueless service meant I departed and will now go to Jans

I’ve been getting my hillwalking lunches (cheese and onion bap, thank you very much!) from Jan’s for many many years, but since being diagnosed coeliac a few years ago, I’ve been ultra cautious. Following a number of really positive reviews we decided to drop by Jan’s recently for a lunch whilst mooching in Keswick. They’re so informed, careful, clue-up on cross-contamination and all the while so very kind and personable. My partner is dairy-free and the same care was given there too. A complete delight. Really helpful to know we can drop in for safe and very tasty lunch supplies and get a bit of friendly banter as well. Thank you! 🥰

Always visited this lovely little sandwich bar, made to order as you wait. Plenty of selection, meat, seafood, vegetarian options. A little pricey but as a treat it’s not so bad.

There was a queue outside the shop, which usually means it's good. I had chicken tikka baguette, it was large, lots of filling and very tasty, the girl kindly halved it for me. Thank you for a lovely lunch

Nice choice of rolls and fillings all made to order including a very nice gluten free roll. very friendly and knowledgeable owners

Best place get a breakfast sandwiches in keswick. Also very fair price. We got breakfast sandwiches there where nice we enjoyed them by the lake was lovely definitely recommend here if need breakfast sandwiches

It’s amazing, just go! Get all your walking pack ups sorted and you won’t regret it. Personal faves are the New Yorker and the Chicken, Bacon mayo.

Love the selection of fillings. We use this regularly when visiting Keswick so we have a packed lunch for our walks. Great breakfast options too.

Popped in as peckish and left laughing, lovely ladies serving us a delightful salt beef baguette and a chicken and bacon cheese and tomato topped roll. Delicious food and brilliant service.

Amazing gluten free bread and so many options! Great knowledge on coeliac disease, separate prep station and thoroughly cleaned, washed hands before making the sandwich, brought out separate ingredients to avoid cross contamination. Went once for lunch and ended up going back the next day for lunch and dinner!

The sandwich was good but the 2 girls working there were plain rude. (Tuesday September 6th). Not friendly at all and just looked like I was disturbing them. Customer service:0. Will never go back.

Greatest gluten free sandwiches EVER. Lovely bread rolls, separate prep area, separate butter, hands washed before starting, separate utensils, separate bag. Plus the most fabulous selection of fillings. Also GF crisps and a couple of separate wrapped GF cakes to add to your packed lunch. Non GF bread pretty good too. Would give more stars if I could. Thank You Jan’s sandwich shop !

Excellent sandwiches & filled rolls from this place , Made with great ingredients by very friendly staff with great prices to match, Fantastic as always come here whilst in Keswick.

very good and friendly service and good quality food. all well-presented and very tasty with an excellent selection.

Bought a couple of sandwiches here yesterday, falafel and humus for my wife, malted goats cheese, peppers and mushrooms for me. Two large coffees and all for £11. The sarnies were ver, very good as was the coffee and theres a 25p extra shot option...

Great food. Recommend the New Yorker. I presume the others are alright. Not sure what else to add to take me to a hundred charac

this is the best place in Keswick to get your lunch from. all kinds of different breads, rolls and even gluten free options. so much to choose from and made exactly how you want it! perfect for a picnic up on the fells.

My wife is coeliac and asked if gluten-free rolls were available. They were and the work station was cleaned thoroughly before the preparation of the roll. Seperate spread and fillings were used for the roll to avoid cross contamination. Excellent service and understanding of coeliac...

They make lovely sandwiches and are very nice to eat. The queue was quite long and well worth the hassle to wait and see your sandwich being made.

What a find. Huge choices and flexibility about types of sandwich, jacket and snacks. Very good prices for central Keswick, friendly staff. A really good alternative to making a picnic. Will return.

We had ciabiatta rolls from here all week to eat on the fells. The veggie Reubens were a massive hit with our group- one day all 6 of us had them and we all loved them. My husband had the veggie Reuben 4 days in...

We went here for sandwiches a few times while in Keswick. The selection of fillings is massive and if there's anything you want adding they'll pop it in. Really good sarnies!

Delicious sandwiches but poor hand hygiene. One staff member came in from outside and didnt wash hands or wear gloves before making sandwiches. Not good enough

Thank for the fantastic gluten free sandwiches that I had on every day while staying Keswick. Service was second to none

Really tasty freshly-made sandwiches. Plenty of choice. Perfect for supplementing a walker's packed lunch. Only downside was the long queue and relatively slow service. But worth the wait.

We used the Lakeland Sandwich Shop for our daily walks during our week's stay in Keswick. There is lots of choice and prices are reasonable however I came to the conclusion that I preferred sandwiches from the local Booths. Firstly my choice of filling (often...

An excellent variety of sandwiches and types of breads & salad to choose from that are freshly made for each customer. The sandwiches are lovely. Covid safe screens are in place but one member of staff wore their mask with nose uncovered while making sandwiches...

Had breakfast rolls and also lunchtime rolls from this lovely little shop. Huge choice of food fillings and quick service. Reasonable prices. Definitely worth a visit

Needed a quick lunch and the selection of different breads and fillings were amazing! I ordered the hot Reuben which was great and my partner had a meatball melt. Great value for money and delicious!

This tiny little shop does a very impressive range of sandwiches and snacks. Brown or white, baguette or roll, a good variety of fillings and extras. All freshly made to order. My son and I regularly visit Kendal for walking holidays and we always buy...

Nipped in after going into Thomasons next door for a pie, fancied something sweet. Delicious homemade Carrot cake (absolute fave) perfectly spiced, iced and moist! Absolutely delicious and friendly service !

We stumbled across Jan’s whilst on a hiking holiday in the Lakes, and so glad we did, as such a fab find! Delicious sandwiches, made with care, great choice of bread and fillings. Perfect sandwiches for our rucksacks, so much so we visited 4 times...

Excellent sandwiches. Visited today and had the Reuben and pulled pork baguettes. The bread was fresh and so tasty, highly recommend!

Really lovely freshly made sandwiches to order, Went twice when staying in Keswick and would definitely recommend giving it a try..

We visited this shop every morning to grab lunch to take hiking with us. Freshly made baguettes were really tasty every day. I enjoyed the chewy flapjack and my partner enjoyed the other homemade snacks equally. I looked forward to lunch everyday!

We have bought our lunch at this lovely shop several times during our two weeks stay in Keswick before setting off for our walks - great choice, excellent quality and reasonable prices. Our firm favourites were the chicken tikka and the salad sandwiches as well...

No trip to the Lakes is complete without a daily early morning visit to Jan's to collect lunch for the Fells. The selection of breads and fillings is outstanding.

We found them by chance, but we're so happy we did. Great service, nice coffee and the best sandwiches in Lake District. Recommended!

So, having completed the Lakeland Trails 10k, I was ravenous so popped in for a bite. The turkey and smoked applewood was superb - a well filled baguette that just hit the spot. Definitely be back next time we're in Keswick!

Soup is great to take out..chicken tikka jackets to die for!! Such a good shop. Staff ask loads of questions so you get exactly what you want..the way it should be! 10/10 from me

Have been using this sandwich shop for many years when staying in Keswick for our holidays. It’s simply amazing fresh food prepared in front of you. I love the Reuben and Rachel.

Try the chicken tikka or ham with Brie and apricot sandwiches, the cheese savoury is good too. The cheese pie is legendary and the various specials they do are great for a quick and easy dinner after a day on the fells! The salad boxes...

Cannot speak highly enough of this shop. The food is just delicious and so varied - it’s never boring. The salads are fabulous. My favourite is one which includes goats cheese, kale, dates and almonds. To die for! My partner and daughter love the meat...

We popped by for lunch on the way back to the car after a day trip. Local gym and cheese for the hubby, and a lovely tuna crunch for me. Will definitely use again.

Wow! What a fantastic little sandwich shop. Great sandwiches at reasonable prices, a great choice of fillings and great prices as well. Lots of filling in our sandwiches. Took our sandwiches back to the lodge to eat.

The bread was the best in a long time and the staff were well informed re coeliac needs or intolerance. A wide range of fillings were available

Don’t miss this little gem if you’re in Keswick! Great sandwiches for a very fair price! We had the rubens and the lentil, tomato and bacon soup. Delicious!

We always get our sandwiches from here when we stay in Keswick and have never been let down. The fillings are fresh and the prices are good and the service very fast and the staff friendly as well. I would not hesitate recommending this shop.

We got sandwiches here in the morning before climbing Helvellyn, and they were a treat after descending the mountain! Great friendly service too!

After spotting a sign in the window stating that gluten free bread was now available, my husband and I stopped for a sandwich after a long walk. The staff were VERY careful regards cross contamination and they made me a fresh chicken, bacon and dairy free mayo sandwich.l and it was SO GOOD. Well done The Lakeland Sandwich Shop.

Dropped in before a long walk. Nice breads and well filled sandwiches, ciabatta. Recommended if you are short on time

I was looking round the town for something to eat and popped into the shop for a sandwich to take to FRIARS CRAG and the while away the day admiring the magnificent view. Very plesant inside and friendly staff

Really great quality tasty sandwiches. I only wish all sandwiches were this good. Like the best home made snatches you ever made and then some.

Have been visiting for several years now and always return to the Sandwich shop to pick up provisions for a days walking. There is a huge selection of fillings and various rolls to choose from and always really good value. Staff are friendly and efficient will be returning next time we visit the Lakes

Wow what a choice. There was a wide variety of breads and fillings. Everything was freshly made. You could also have a salad box.

Worth the wait for this popular sandwich shop. Staff really clued up and asked if I was coeliac. Prepared a clean workstation and no chance of cross contamination. Lovely sandwich beautifully prepared. Highly recommended

A vast array of fillings, both hot and cold as well as a variety of breads and rolls too. Quality ingredients are used to produce exceptionally tasty sandwiches. Great value for money The staff are really helpful.

With a tight schedule due to a number of activities I rang and arranged to pre-order and collect 18 sandwiches both Hot & Cold - Breakfast & Lunch. The staff were very accommodating and friendly. Placed my order Friday morning over the phone and collected on Saturday morning as agreed. All the food was ready and freshly made, hot stuff still hot etc. Everyone is the group, 9 of us, agreed the food was lovely as usual and we'll doing the same on our annual trip next year. We had a range of sandiwches all of which were great. The only slight thing would be if I could of emailed my order through, maybe I'm simply being lazy......

We stopped in Keswick for a short break whilst on a 10 lake tour & this place ticked the box for food as we only had a limited amount of time - some very interesting choices not only with the fillings but also in what it’s put in. We both chose the Rueben on brown baguettes – salt beef with sauerkraut & gherkins – delicious pit stop.

Great sandwiches at a great price.

Had the Turkey Saddle which had a lovely sage mayonnaise and the cranberry chutney was perfectly spiced and made it a rare treat. Much better than your average sandwich shop as the queues outside will attest (not that it took us long to get served despite the popularity). Great value too.

Called in when passing through Keswick as wanted a freshly made sandwich rather than a prepacked one. Ordered 2 sandwiches and was very surprised to see that although tongs were present in a number of the filling containers the lady serving me just plunged her hand straight into the lettuce, cucumber and tomatoes without any effort to use tongs. As one of the previous reviews mentioned I was surprised that gloves were not used and understand it may be inconvenient having to take a glove off when handling money, but many cafes and shops do this without issue. Seeing the sandwich maker scratch her upper bare arm and then butter a roll is slightly disconcerting. Yes, I could have left the shop and yes I could have questioned the two ladies serving on the shop hygiene procedures but I admit I was slightly taken aback and as this was a quick pit stop did not have the time to pursue this, so am hoping the manager will address my concerns? If it helps I visited in the morning on the 6th June.

Being a celiac is a pain, being a wheelchair using celiac is a double whammy. You find a good gluten free cafe but they’re not accessible. As my husband found reviews online about the gluten free options on offer here we decided to give it a go and we were not disappointed. I had the reuben, salt beef, sauerkraut, gherkin and Russian sauce. It was so good that we called in for another the day after to take home for our tea. It’s on a roll but a roll that tastes like bread.

I always get my sandwich lunches from Jan's shop. The only difficulty is choosing what filling to have from their vast selection! The selection of rolls is also very good and on this trip I also tried their flapjacks - first rate.

Hace poco, mi compañero y yo visitamos Keswick y tratamos de comprar en Jans Lakeland Sandwich un sándwich rápido para el almuerzo en lugar de los típicos Greggs o las panaderías. Mucha variedad para el pan y una amplia gama de rellenos. Opciones sin gluten y vegetarianas también están disponibles. Fresco, casero, productos locales y absolutamente delicioso! Sin duda volveremos.

A great place to get your lunch before heading to the hills. Great range of fillings and also different breads which made a good change. Family enjoyed the discussion on filling choices of the day each morning!! Also all reasonably priced. Would highly recommend.

Lovely freshly made sandwiches. Plenty of choice of fillings. Reasonably priced. Very busy when we called but staff were friendly and very efficient Will be back

¡Cada vez que bajamos a Keswick, nos aseguramos de pasar por esta tienda para comprar nuestros sándwiches antes de salir a caminar! Un montón de panes y combinaciones de relleno para elegir, así como otras delicias para hacer un picnic completo. Buen precio, personal amable y siempre ocupado.

Usually make for this place when we need a packed lunch to eat on our walk. Disappointed in the past with Greggs unless you like sausage rolls. All the sandwiches are made fresh and to order with a very varied choice of add-ons and all carefully packaged and good value for money and adequate portions. Good family run enterprise. Back this month and keep up the good work.

The sandwiches here are by far the best I've ever had. baguettes freshly baked each day are always a favourite option with us. Huge variety of fillings to choose from, along with daily soups and hot fillings. Great for gluten free people too

Lovely clean roomy inside. Drinks served hot and pasty cooked to perfection and thoroughly enjoyed. Great to try

Needing a quick lunch before we headed to Cat’s Bells I tried the soup of the day which was a delicious mushroom. The OH had a cheddar and ham baguette with what looked like thick cut baked ham, he pronounced it great quality.

It's a great to come here a get a sandwich/bun to take away for lunch always made fresh while you wait. Always something to look forward to and I haven't had a bad one yet. Check it out the food is awesome and friendly staff too Couldn't ask for more !

Large range of sandwiches on any type of bread, ideal if your lazy and want a breakfast sandwich 👍. Bang in the middle of Keswick and at decent prices.

Rolls made to order daily. Wonderful choice of fillings, adding your choice of salad items to accommodate personal taste.Gluten free option available too, brilliant! Lovely, friendly staff too, greeting you each morning with a smile. Thanks ladies, see you next April!

Cuando nos alojamos en Keswick, siempre usamos este establecimiento ya que la comida es siempre fresca y sabrosa, el servicio es excelente y los precios también son buenos. Hay un menú grande y variado para todos los gustos. Si desea un bocado rápido y no le gustan los productos preenvasados, este es el lugar para usted.

called in twice for sarnies whilst staying in Keswick, the bread is really soft and fresh with loads of filling just right when out walking,makes a change when its made while you watch, thanks

Fantastic sandwich shop in the town centre, staff very friendly and welcoming. What a choice of food available! Highly recommend!

On a recent visit to Keswick I passed this shop, a great selection of sandwiches and cakes, the sandwiches were fresh and tasty along with a cake really good value for money. Quick friendly service excellent shop recommended.

We ordered packed sandwiches from The Lakeland Sandwich Shop every morning before our hikes. There was a large selection of fillings and the best part was that they were able to make gluten-free sandwiches for our celiac family members.

I have been getting sandwiches from their for years, so much choice, for veggies and meat eaters. You can chose your filling and bread. Always delicious.

Sandwiches are made on the spot to your order, good choice and plenty of varied fillings to add. Good value and service.

they provide a wide range of fillings and all very tasty. A good choice of salad as well. Not much room to queue but staff serve quickly

We had a lovely Pork roll with loads of salad which we really enjoyed on our walk round Derwentwater Lake

For a great gf sandwich go to Jan's sandwich shop. I went several times and all the staff were clued up on my needs and couldn't be faulted in anyway. Thanks to you all for you're consideration.

We used them for a couple of lunch tine sandwiches which were very good. They offer a good choice with good service

We called into the Lakeland Sandwich Shop just before we started our journey home and we intended to stop during the journey for a break to have something to eat and stretch our legs. We arrived when the shop had just opened and after looking at the board with details of sandwiched we decided on a roast ham sandwich and a roast ham and salad sandwich, both these were in soft white rolls. They were freshly made for us and the price was very reasonable. About half way home we stopped at Wetherby service area and had the sandwiches and they were very good, the bread rolls were fresh and the ham was real freshly cut ham and not processed ham. The selection of sandwiches included cold meats, hot sandwiches, vegetarian sandwiches and many others. They also do breakfasts to take out in the morning and sweet cakes.

Freshly made sandwiches, rolls etc we found ideal to take on our walks. Bear in mind you have to carry them - they're not small !

I dropped into this shop to buy some sandwiches for myself, my wife and my in-laws before heading to Fitz Park with our little girl. We ordered sandwiches called New Yorkers which are filled with pastrami, salami, pickles, Swiss cheese, mustard and mayonnaise (you can choose to have salad or not) - simply put, they were unbelievable!

Have purchased our rolls, (The moistest, sweetest, loveliest Carrot Cake ever) and various drinks, snacks, here on many occasions when we are in the Lakes, always friendly, beautifully made fresh rolls, never skimp on the fillings, cater for all tastes and leanings, wrapped well and always so tasty and authentic with very good quality ingredients, and they are very reasonable, the bad reviewer's were very unlucky in my opinion, and I'm sure the owners would have been happy to rectify if given the chance? We love it .......then again, we've owned a busy Sandwich Bar in a seaside Town, so like to think we know the difference between good and bad !

Ordered 4 difference sandwiches. All very full and well made. I could only eat half of mine as it was that large. Excellent choice and service.

I was really disappointed with meatball sandwich. For £3.50 there was just few cold meatballs inside no sauce or anything else. I know that I probably haven’t read menu but in any other place meatball sandwich comes with tomato sauce.

The place to go if you want a decent sandwich, whether mooching around the town or out on the hills!! Great choice of bread and fillings made to order.

We chose this because it offers gluten free breads as well as a wide range of others. As for the fillings - what a huge choice there is to offer - from breakfast fillings to lots of lunch options - all freshly made and locally sourced. As for the taste - they're delicious! A generous for size for a very reasonable price. Great option for a long day's walk in the surrounding Lake District. Well worth a visit!
