Visited this super restaurant with friends for the first time and was impressed The staff were superb throughout and food top notch. We shared a platter of meats that included Steak, lamb and pigeon The novelty of cooking on a hot stone was new to us and the whole experience was appealing I would highly recommend this venue

The quality of the food at this restaurant is amazing. We had the best fillet steaks we had ever had. It is all locally sourced and super fresh and you can taste this. The service is very nice and friendly, if a bit slow (we had to ask 4 times for some water!). The only downside is the nature of the restaurant means that it is extremely smelly! The smoke from all the "sizzling" dishes (and no windows open) is oppressive at times, despite the fans above each table, and we felt we had to wash all of our clothes when we got home.

Novel dining, cooking the food at your own table on a hot stone.The food was decent but you’re generally going to get well done meals as you’ll worry that the big lumps of meat are not cooked through. Get it right though and it’s tasty. The gin was alright too.Problem is it gets really quite smoky in the restaurant area and the extractor fans on the walls just make an annoying noise rather than making the air any cleaner to breath. So you will leave smelling very strongly of what you’ve just eaten.

The service was friendly and the concept of cooking your own meat at your table is something different. My boyfriend loved both cooking and eating his meat feast for one.However it just didn’t really work for me. There was no advice given on how long to cook your food for so I no doubt ended up over cooking my fish after worrying about making myself unwell. The restaurant was quite smoky and hot due to the cooking too and my clothes and hair had a strong bbq smell when we left. The sides were tasty though.

A fun restaurant with friendly service and delicious food - which you cook yourself! We received a warm and friendly welcome and shown to our seats in the airy restaurant. COVID-19 measures were well maintained and we felt safe. We enjoyed our staters - tasty pigeon breast for my husband, and I had the tomato bruschetta which was a generous and delicious way to start.We ordered steak mains - I had the sirloin which was huge! And my husband had the two rumps. The meat was beautiful and lean and cooking it on the stone was great fun! The side dishes of chips, sauces and coleslaw were great.

Having been tonight for the first time two couples, we all really enjoyed our meals , we didnt know you had to cook the meat but actually thought it was a good concept and something really different.The food was all lovely and one of our group is a butcher and we know good quality meat and that it was good quality and plenty of it. The dessert was equally as nice and staff all friendly and good service.The price for all of us i thought was just right For the four of us.Will be back again

We reserved a table prior to our arrival in Keswick. On arrival we were seated straight away and given (slightly dog-eared) menus to browse through. Our food and drink order was taken at the same time which meant we were sat quite a while without beverages - we would have liked our drinks order taken a lot quicker than they we’re and would have potentially ordered a second round. We chose the sharer for 2 which contained really good quality cuts of meat and we were given advice for how long each cut of meat would need to be cooked for. Can’t fault the food and staff were polite we just would have liked a slightly quicker drinks order service to enable us to sit with a drink whilst deciding what we would like to eat.

Worth a visit if your in the area that's for sure. Would visit again. The sword fish was excellent. Only negative was the extraction at your table when you were cooking your food on the hot stones. It could have been a little stronger but didn't spoil the enjoyment.

We visited the Sizzling Stone as an early birthday treat whilst staying in Keswick. It was easy to make a reservation, despite the fact I emailed just a few days before to chance upon a space! (Much appreciated, thank you). I was asked if any members of the party had special dietary requirements which I thought was a nice consideration. We got to the restaurant and we were shown to our table - everything is set out to adhere to covid-19 distancing, and it felt very safe. The 2 members of staff we had serving us were friendly and polite, and ensured we had everything we needed. The pigeon starter was amazing, perfectly cooked - my partner had ordered this and I was envious i hadn't done the same (I didn't order a starter). For mains we had the steak - these were a good size, well seasoned, and looked fantastic. On the menu it says the meat is locally sourced which is great. We were asked how we wanted them (e.g. rare) so the accompaniments could be brought out at the time the meat would be cooked (the sides were lovely). It was different and interesting to cook the steaks at the table on the lava stones. As you can imagine with a restaurant of people cooking steaks/meats at their tables it can get a little foggy, but there are extractors above the tables that help clear this. The puddings were also fantastic. All the food and drink we had was wonderful and we'd definitely return if staying in the area.

Este restaurante tiene la distinción de ser el establecimiento más cercano a la cabaña en la que nos hemos alojado durante dos semanas. Era natural que lo intentáramos, pero ahora desearía no haberlo dejado hasta la penúltima noche, ya que toda la experiencia fue muy buena. Si hubiéramos comido aquí antes, hay pocas dudas de que una visita de regreso hubiera estado en orden.Lo más destacado es la carne de la más alta calidad, cocinada exactamente al gusto individual de una manera bastante poco común e interesante. Todo lo demás, la carta de vinos, las guarniciones y postres y la amable eficiencia del personal, simplemente se suma a una agradable experiencia gastronómica.

OK ese es el objetivo: -)Al entrar, se nos pidió que comprobáramos el código QR, lo cual fue positivo, todas las mesas tenían un distanciamiento social adecuado y un régimen de limpieza obvio.Lo primero que notamos fue el humo en el aire a pesar de todos los extractores que desafortunadamente se suman al ruido de fondo.Teníamos el camembert para compartir, que venía con un chutney fantástico, una pequeña cantidad de hojas de ensalada y pan con algunos palitos de pan.Los platos principales optamos por unos bistecs que tú mismo cocinas sobre las piedras calientes que se llevan a la mesa. Los "Fat Chips" eran muy agradables, pero hay varias opciones disponibles para acompañar su comida.Excelente servicio y comida: ¿qué más se puede pedir?

Como prometimos el año pasado, regresamos para otra sesión deliciosa de bondad chisporroteante para nuestro 34º aniversario. Después de reservar nuestra mesa con anticipación (obligatorio y ahorra cualquier decepción), llegamos un poco antes, pero aún así nos recibieron y nos acomodaron. Reconocimos al personal del año pasado y después de ordenar nuestras bebidas, procedimos a examinar el menú.Esta vez, después de un duro día de caminata, decidimos mantener las cosas simples y elegimos un filete de filete cortado a elección y un delicioso filete de costilla con chips gruesos, papas gratinadas, ensalada casera, aros de cebolla para morirse y 2 generosas raciones de salsa de pimienta. . ¿Mencioné los aros de cebolla para morirse? ¡Golpe! La comida se acabó, se comió todo. Delicioso. Delicioso delicioso.La diversión de cocinar en la mesa seguía siendo divertida y todo estaba caliente, sabroso y fresco. ¿Ya he mencionado los aros de cebolla?Seguimos con un pudín de brownie de chocolate con crema fresca. (eso es un flaco favor a este pudín de brownie) Lo reformularé.Luego, seguimos nuestra comida con un delicioso pudín de brownie de chocolate caliente y crema fresca que tenía un exterior suntuosamente crujiente que estaba delicadamente espolvoreado con azúcar glas y un interior suave, húmedo y pegajoso que era ligero y sabroso, muy sabroso. Todo se roció con la mayor cantidad de nata fresca que pudiste de la pequeña jarra suministrada e incluso tuve que limpiar el plato de pizarra con el dedo para obtener los últimos pedacitos. Manera fabulosa de terminar una buena comida.El personal fue tan educado y atento como la última vez y todo el ambiente, incluso bajo restricciones covid, fue relajado y agradable.Recomendamos encarecidamente una visita a The Sizzling Stone en su visita a Keswick. Si no va, lo siento, pero es su pérdida.gracias Sizzling Stone. Otra visita fantástica. Te veo el próximo año.

Really bad in these uncertain times when businesses are really trying so hard to kept there heads above water.But it was worth the wait, staff really lovely and informative about the different cuts of meat and how to cook it.It was the best meal we have had in ages well worth the extra money from normal restaurants.All I can say is please try this restaurant the food was delicious with a great variety on the menu, not cheap but you get what you pay for.

Visited Saturday 19th September for an anniversary meal.The restaurant has a nice relaxed feel to it, nothing too formal.The food is exceptional and the experience of cooking it yourself on a hot lava stone is one I defintely want to do again.We both had fillet steaks, 36 days matured and they were beautiful. I really like the way you are served the raw steak and advised how best to cook then served your sides just as your steak is ready. The deserts are delicious and are like works of art. Will book again when next in Keswick.

Visited The Sizzling stone for my birthday. From the minute we walked in to when we left the building it was fabulous service. The food was absolutely delicious, never had such a good steak and Diane sauce, the chips and garlic mushrooms were the perfect accompaniment. The only disappointment I had was I didn’t have room for pudding! However my boys did have pudding and what I tasted was beautiful. I can not fault this place. Well worth a visit and worth every penny.

We missed our time slot but when we did arrive we were found a table by the two helpful staff. It's not a huge place but it is very popular so I recommend to book. The food was really the best we had while we were in the Lakes - and we did have some very nice meals. The steak was just the best ever - you do it yourself on hot stones at the table so it's just as you like it. I've had this abroad but not in this country. Cann't recommend highly enough. Don't hesitate - go there!if I sound like I'm in the pay of the management - I'm not! Just very impressed

Under normal circumstances we would have been eating in our hotel. Fortunately they have stopped doing evening meals so dining out became the norm. We booked this restaurant before leaving home. We only just got the booking and it was as soon as it opened. We started with sharing a bowl of mixed olives. As the names applies this is a cook your meat on a stone at your table. I had the Duo of Rump and my wife had the 8oz Fillet stake, me with chunky chips and wife with skinny chips. Unlike some restaurants we we have eaten the cost of any sauce is included in the price and does not cost extra. We both chose the Peppercorn sauce and what a good choice it was. The cooking of the steaks was excellent by us and tasted really really good when topped by the sauce. To top the meal off we had a Salted Caramel Cheesecake with Ice Cream and Mango Cheesecake with a sorbet. Very good meal, pleasant surroundings. Also had 2 pints of Moretti and 2 Gin and tonics. Very filling and had to have a decent walk afterwards. Well done to the team behind it all.

This is without a doubt the most glorious place in the world, loved the whole experience from start to finish! Tables nicely socially distanced with hand sanitiser at the entrance. Biggest selection of wines I have ever seen, me and the missus shared a bottle of Tempranillo Red, gorgeous. Wide variety of soft drinks as well, including Fentimans stuff which is class. We both had a ciabatta with balsamic dip and sundried tomatoes, went down good. Then came the finest cut of Fillet Steak I have ever eaten, you place it on the sizzling stone which comes with it and you watch it cook just how you want it, simply lovely. Dessert menu is also incredible, went for the hot chocolate brownie, served up warm, just as it should be. I cannot recommend this place more, will definitely be coming back to Keswick just for the pleasure of visiting this restaurant!

Fantastic service and food! We were here in a group of 4, two sets of couples. We had the pork starter, which was excellent. Our friends had prawns and also the pork for starter, both were extremely good. For mains we ordered the couples sharing plater of meat, the hot stones come out for you to cook the meat on. It would be helpful to have a poster on the wall at the table to give guidance about to cook meats as well. We had some cuts of beef, pigeon, black pudding, lamb and pork. All of the meat were excellent! Our friends had halloumi and a ribeye steak both of those were very good as well.

My partner and I are holidaying in Keswick for the week. I tried to book in @TheSizzlingStone for our first night here as it was my partners birthday but we were told the next available table was tonight on our last night. I thought any place that is fully booked for a week is a good sign and booked in! Sadly we had to cancel our table last minute (as it was early doors and our walk had ended up being longer than we imagined) but we were delighted to be offered a later table by Alison who couldn’t have been more accommodating and snapped the offer up ! We arrived to find a beautiful restaurant, smelled delicious and full of happy looking customers! Staff were attentive, funny and lovely without being OTT and the service was perfect. Good selection of drinks and an AMAZING menu!!! We opted for fillet steaks, both with peppercorn sauce and prawns and with sides of onion rings and salad! Everything was literally amazing I can’t find a single thing to say to the contrary. And the experience of cooking on the hot stones was so much fun! Then came the real dilemma... dessert.... what to choose! The menu was amazing and we’d initially said we would have one to share.... ended up ordering 3!!!! Never done that before! The porcine shame would never have allowed it but after a week of walking we thought we had earnt it!! 3 of the most delicious desserts I’ve ever had soon arrived and the rest is history! Quick whisky / gin to finish the evening and now home feeling very satisfied. Thank you Sizzling Stone! The perfect end to the perfect holiday after a very busy, uncertain few months (we are both nurses)! We will be back next year xxx

We were looking for a restaurant that was not as busy during this Covid-19 pandemic. There were people outside spaced apart and 4 groups inside all spaced appropriately apart. Partner didn’t like the fly traps but I liked that decour and high attention to detail this place has including very comfortable seating. Yes the food presentation is a little unusual - you have to cook your dishes on hot stones but it added to the fun of eating there. Great portions of food, salads and mushrooms, good beverages and I loved the deserts. Excellent service as well and also excellent attention to covid-19 guidelines - Facemasks and even the toilets have covid guidance on hand wipes, gloves and spray. A little more expensive than other places maybe but you are well looked after and the swordfish was the best I’ve eaten so far. Thanks for your kind hospitality.

Hmmm. Not quite sure how to rate this one - on one hand the waiters were very friendly and attentive and the food was very good.On the other hand there was little advice re how to cook your food - we were asked how we normally liked our steak, but then given no info re timings or how to actually achieve that on the supplied hot plates. For the side dishes of prawns we WERE advised that around a minute per side was required. The only, genuine, disappointment of the evening related to the recent government ‘eat out to help out’ initiative. I had booked our meal some weeks ago, before it had been announced, so it had no influence on our decision to book. At the end of the meal we were given a bill for the full amount and NO mention was made of the initiative. This surprised us as we had already seen on the relevant website that the restaurant was taking part in it. When I went to pay I asked whether or not they were participating in the scheme and was told ‘yes, if you want to’ When I answered yes I did (who wouldn’t want to save £40 on a bill ?) the waitress explained that she couldn’t include it on the original bill, it had to be done afterwards, and then asked me to leave and sit down again while she recalculated it.Amazing. I could only compare it to the restaurant we ate at the previous evening who included the discount on our bill without us asking anything. Because the food and service was actually good I left a decent tip, however - if you eat here while the discount scheme is running then I would advise you to MAKE SURE you ask about it before you pay.

We enjoyed two amazing fillet steaks and the meat was to a really high quality. Plenty of flavour and tender. Lovely sides to accompany it.As this is a very unique experience, I feel that staff could be a lot more explanatory when serving customers. The stones were just set in front of us, followed by the meat. It would’ve been beneficial for us to be told recommended times or cooking tips - having this provided even on paper would’ve even made the experience a little more fulfilling if staff don’t wish to be repetitive each day. This is the restaurant’s biggest selling point and it seemed like they could do more with it to make it exciting for customers.

Several options for potatoes and sides. We had the meat platter for 2 plus King Prawns. Chips and fries.

Dropped in during the afternoon and were lucky to be able to book a table for that evening. The quality of the meat was exceptional. I had fillet steak with dauphinoise potatoes, hubby had the meat special, fillet, rump, pork fillet and lamb. We love the whole concept of cooking your own meat it means you are eating hot food from start to finish just the way you like it. The desserts were also delicious. Couldn't fault the service and the idea of having extractors above each table meant it wasnt too smoky. Highly recommended, will definitely visit again next time we are in Keswick.

Visited The Sizzling Stone for our 33rd Wedding Anniversary after booking a table(usually required). We were informed that the dining room is now larger than it used to be after a recent refurbishment moved the location of the bar and restroom(necessarium). The room is very cozy and welcoming and everything looked modern and fresh.The staff were extremely polite, helpful and attentive without being intrusive. They are a credit to this establishment.The food came out and looked fresh, meaty and ready to sizzle. We had cajun chicken skewers, king prawn skewers and the meat feast for 1 with onion rings, garlic mushrooms and gratin potatoes. Everything was hot and delicious. Its a great experience cooking your own food at the table just to your own liking and there was so much we didn't think we'd finish it all. Well, after much sizzling, turning, proding and repositioning, we cooked and ate everything. Never been so full in my life, just make sure your belt has a spare hole. We just had room for a portion of sugar crusted apple pie and ice cream between us to finish the night off. We managed to grab a couple of photos but were too distracted by the food to grab any more.This restaurant is well worth a visit. One of Keswick's Crown Jewels.Thank you to all front of house staff and the chefs for making our anniversary night one to remember. See you in 2020.

My partner and I visited The Sizzling Stone after climbing Helvellyn during the day. We both had large cuts of steak, alongside a skewer of prawns. The beauty of this restaurant is that you are able to cook your own meat to exactly to your own liking, so obviously we were both extremely pleased with our steaks!

As is the vogue for this type of dining, we thought we would give it a go - well, so glad we did, the steaks are excellent, service to go with it and the value for money is spot on.

Just visited and had an exceptional meal. Lovely environment, the kindest and most attentive staff and the food was to die for. Yes you can get a steak from the supermarket and cook it for yourself, but this is a different experience and everything is seasoned to perfection. Couldn't recommend any more, we will be back on our next visit to keswick.

Absolutely fabulous, couldn’t fault any of it. Service was fabulous highly efficient and smooth. The food was delicious and perfectly timed. We eat too fast in the uk so it was a refreshing change to not be rushed. The wine was beautiful. Couldn’t have managed three courses so will have to return for main and pudding next time. Thank you for a wonderful evening.

Came here on the final night of our holiday and wish we’d come sooner, so we could return. We shared the fillet and the rump. The rump was beautifully flavoured and cooked nicely, but the fillet was the piece de resistance. It was sublime, as it melted in your mouth. As I’m Coeliac, it was great to visit somewhere where there were virtually no restrictions. Also, the service was spot on and the atmosphere was beautiful. This is a gem in Keswick

We ordered the meat feast for 2 and it didn’t disappoint. The quality of the produce is excellent. A large table ordered rib-eye and this created a lot of smoke which did set off the smoke alarm but I’m amazed it doesn’t happen more often. You cook your meat at the table and it is a bit foggy as you walk in, but ignore that and enjoy great food, and good service. Will definitely return.

We visited last week while staying in Keswick with family - we had a brilliant evening here and the food was amazing- we all enjoyed cooking our steak on the stone and the kids thought it was great - although they do not have an actual kids menu they were very happy to do a smaller portion for my daughter- fun place to eat - We all said it was the best steak we have had in a very long time

We visited the restaurant this evening for my husband's birthday and had the most brilliant meal. We both had the pig's cheek starter which was amongst the tastiest food we've ever had. The meat was so tender that it just fell apart. It was followed by steak - one fillet and one rib-eye - both of the highest quality. The cheesy potatoes and onion rings were equally good. Can't wait to visit again on our next holiday in Keswick.

Obviously this is a steakhouse and the only reason I've been here is because my boyfriend loves steak. This was our second visit and we had an enjoyable evening. My boyfriend says the quality and taste of the steak is the best he's had anywhere and is different to what you get at a lot of other places. I had halloumi kebabs - decent serving of halloumi alongside red and yellow peppers and white onion. Different choice of chips are included with the kebab and a sweet chilli sauce. Good choice of drinks (I was glad to have prosecco with toffee vodka) and a really nice choice of desserts. We got the salted caramel cheesecake and a warm chocolate pudding with raspberry filling in the middle - these were both really good and were a nice addition to the end of the meal. There were veggie starters available, camembert or bread with sundried tomatoes and oil however I wanted to save myself for dessert. Staff are very attentive in here and you could see them checking to see if anyone needed anything and that we were happy with our meals. The smoke coming off the cooking slates can be overpowering however this is probably much worse for me as I'm veggie - the owners have made a real effort to minimise this by installing extractor fans around the room. We will definitely return to this place again in the future as we were both happy with the food and the experience is a bit unique, it's nice, relaxed and informal in here and the staff were friendly. The only reason I haven't marked this review as excellent is again because I'm vegetarian and haven't tried what the restaurant is all about and what the main attraction is.

We visited The Sizzling Stone in August 2019 & the service & food did not disappoint. The quality of the steak is the best we've ever eaten, I would recommend the garlic butter too! The only con is the consistent smell which hits you as soon as you walk in (which I do feel sorry for the owners as they have recently refurbished the restaurant with fans above the tables) given that it is a mainly cook your own steak, the restaurant has a strong food/cooking smell which is unable to fully filter the smoke through the newly added fans above the tables so as long as you don't want a 'fine dining' experience, I would massively recommend here. I also saw a review that disliked the 'plastic bits' hanging from the ceiling - these are fly catchers which didn't bother us as it's better than eating one but I can see why some people would be put off as there are quite a few of them. Nevertheless, my parents were impressed by the hot rock experience which they had never tried before!

After searching for a good place to eat we checked some reviews on here and booked a table. I'm incredibly glad we did as the restaurant has a lovely welcoming atmosphere, the food was absolutely delicious, the service was quick and fantastic and the dessert was one of the nicest desserts we've ever eaten we had the salted caramel parfait!!! We had the set meal for 2 which had massive portions neither of us could completely finish. The prices are so reasonable for a busy town centre restaurant. Would return here if we visit Keswick in the future absolutely superb !!!!

We were in town for the Convention, and had been keeping an eye on the Sizzling Stone for a special meal out to end the week. Not cheap, but worth every penny (and you could pay a lot more for what you get) and so glad we went.

We were impressed by the quality and variety of the meats we ate after ordering the meat feast for 2 for £36. The meat comes out raw and has to be cooked by yourself on a hot iron plate. We were unsure about the correct cooking times but the staff were very helpful and gave great friendly advice on how long things took to reach perfection. Theres also a nice outside terrace with bar to sit out before and after your meal which is a nice touch. If you're after a fast food type of place this isnt it, but if you've set your targets a lot higher I'm sure the quirkiness of cooking your own meats at the table and the very high quality of the food will hit the spot.

If you only have one meal whilst in Keswick, go here. Warm welcome, amazing food, great service, good value. The volcanic hot plates result in moist tasty meat, cooked to perfection. The meat is lean, fresh and locally sourced. Mouthwatering from the first to the last bite. The prices are very good for what you get. The wine list covers every palette and pocket. What more can I say. One of the best meals ever (if not THE best).

Having opted for self catering accommodation in Keswick we chose to have one of our main meals close by our accommodation at The Sizzling Stone. We had not pre-booked but were fortunate enough to be offered a table although we were told we may have to wait for our meal. The service was excellent from the moment we arrived. We felt no undue delay. The menu offered an excellent selection but we opted for various meats to cook ourselves on very hot lava stones on our table. The meats were all of excellent quality and cooked by us as we individually chose proved to be an excellent and most enjoyable eating experience at very reasonable prices. We each had a starter and mail course and reluctantly declined anything from the dessert menu (an additional reason to go back on another visit to Keswick).

We keep going back to The Sizzling Stone every time that we visit Keswick. This was our fourth visit and we were not disappointed. I had the Lamb Kebabs and my husband had a Ribeye Steak. The meat is just of such high quality and tastes amazing. Cooking it on the stones is such a fun thing to do. We found the staff to be lovely and the owners Jason and Alison are always so welcoming. We visited for our anniversary this time and it’s simply our favourite place to eat in Keswick.

The side dishes were very good too. We will definitely book The Sizzling Stone again when we are next in Keswick.

The meal was REALLY good, especially the steak. However, there were a number of points which let the place down. There were strips of sticky tape dangling from the ceiling attached to which were dead flies. Not something one wants to see whilst eating food. The staff, although friendly, made mistakes with orders. The decor was cheap - who has bench seats covered in vinyl in a top-class restaurant?

Very popular restaurant which we were lucky to get a booking. As the name suggests the food is cooked by you at the table on hot stones. Service was very good and the food was excellent. All in the restaurant seemed satisfied with their meals. We had the pork tenderloin and mid fillet steak. Both cuts were excellent, especially the steak which just melted in the mouth. Only mild criticism is that the meat was brought out and then the potatoes dishes etc. While cooking the meat these went slightly cold but did not diminish from the enjoyment of the meal. Cheesecake and sticky toffee puddings were a good end to the meal.

We booked The Sizzling Stone as we wanted to try something a little different, cooking the steaks at the table seemed an unusual concept. We were not disappointed, the steak was of the highest quality and it was great to have the opportunity to cook each piece exactly as we like it. We received a warm welcome and excellent service from Amanda who looked after us throughout the evening, we understand that they were short staffed and whilst the restaurant was busy she still managed to serve our wine and food at a good pace and always with a friendly smile. Thank you Amanda, we will return!

Nuestros abrigos fueron tomados y puestos en un lugar seguro. El personal rápidamente vino y tomó nuestra orden de bebidas y el camarero era extremadamente servicial con las opciones sin gluten. Casi todo en el menú podía hacerse sin gluten y había pan sin gluten, que en la mayoría de los restaurantes es imposible de conseguir. Nuestros entrantes y platos principales estaban deliciosos. Fue genial cocinar tu propio estado para lograr tu propia preferencia y el bistec estaba delicioso, no era graso ni molesto, solo pura perfección. Recomiendo encarecidamente este lugar, no me puedo quejar y no puedo esperar a volver a Keswick para visitar otra vez! !

My husband and I booked a table for New Year's Eve. On first arrival I was a little disappointed with the overall look of the restaurant, it being quite small with a small unattractive bar towards the back of the room. There was also a toilet right next to a table which they tried to hide with a screen. However we were seated at the window table which was a nice spot. There was absolutely no atmosphere the whole evening and the young waiter seemed a bit out of his depth.

We ate here as a group of 4 on New Years Eve as I was visiting family in the area and having stayed in the guest house on site and eaten here previously I wanted to somewhere nice to treat my family. We had complimentary Prosecco on arrival and 3 courses for around £43. We all ordered something different so that we could sample each others. I had the smoked trout with fennel and orange salad to start and it was smashing, not heavy at all and clean and fresh on the palate. The duck pate was very nice and presented very nicely with attention to detail. For the mains we had 3 fillets and the monkfish with gratin potatoes and hollandaise and all served with lovely fresh vegetables. We did struggle for room with puddings but we had 3 chocolate torte and 1 apple pie and all were very good. We left stuffed to the brim and we felt it was good value for money. All in all a great return visit and we will be back.

Having eaten here twice before we decided that we’d forego starters this time as we always ended up too full to finish our steaks. That turned out to be the right decision. Two of us had the fillet with new potatoes and the other had ribeye and fat chips. With the fillets we also ordered a tarragon butter which complimented the meat perfectly. All of our steaks were divine, and the accompanying vegetables were beautifully cooked. And we ate every morsel. We had the house red which was an Italian Primitivo, it was delicious and at £14.50 tremendous value.
