Shout out to the bartender called Graham Wife says the best Gin & Tonic she’s ever had Very knowledgeable guy and a character to boot Great time thanks guys Hope to see you again soon

We've been visiting Braithwaite for some years now and always go to the Royal Oak, as well as the other two hotels in the village. The Royal is a lovely friendly and cosy place to have food and drinks, we went there every day durning our six night stay over Christmas and had a great time. We had a family meal one evening, but if I'm being honest it wasn't that great. Two of us had game pie, and it was alright, just nothing special. The ladies both had hunters chicken, and neither said they particulaly enjoyed it. I didn't try it but it didn't look appealing I must admit. I think this is one of those places where they've not quite got everything right on the menu, as looking at other reviews and photos, some of the food looks lovely. However, negatives aside, we will continue to use this place and would recommend it too, we just found that the food didn't command the price this time. We will be back in the summer.

So so disappointed at this Car park scam by Parking Eye which does Booths no credit to be associated with. We love Booths Keswick and always look forward to doing our holiday food shopping here when visiting the Lakes. We have just arrived home to find the first £100 parking ticket for our three grocery shops during the week when spent just over an hour (1hr 11 mins) in the store (spending around £250 in the process) Despite what the notice says, there was no obvious terminal to enter our reg nor warning notices about Parking Eye in the store. All we saw was ‘1 hr free parking for customers’ Terrible for customers to be scammed in this way. We shall not return.

Bought 2 pasties yesterday absolutley delicious.steak and ale and an original one .full of filling lots of taste .canr wait to return soon.lovely lady served me very polite and friendly !!!

only one serving at lunch time, queuing out the door. Over 30 minutes to get a slice of pizza that was cold and was charged 3.80 for pizza and drink when sign said 3.35. Very bad, never again

Rubbish food, pizza was like a shop bought pizza, perfect round, the barman said they make the bases fresh in the morning, I don’t believe them as the base was a commercial type pizza £15, fish pie, £22 over priced, these guys must think they are something special, when it was also sub standard. We won’t be returning again!

Stopped by chance during a circular walk. Good service and made to feel very welcome. The tea and coffee was appreciated as were the spotless WC! Will call again.

Lovely little traditional pub with good food and beer. We lucked out at lunch time and snagged a table for 4. Chicken curry, Cumberland sausage and burgers were all delicious as was the duck rolls and Mac n cheese.

Terrible service, half way through our meal we got rudely interrupted and embarrassed us infront of all of the other guests as we were accused of being under 16 which first of all we are not and second of all this was when we had almost finished our meal. Atleast ask us before we order or enter the pub.And to top it all off make a huge point of how she couldn’t split the bill and ended up doing it anyway.Its appalling the treatment we have received today as people stereotype us as youths.Will NOT be returning and I suggest you think twice about coming to this establishment.

Following the Management Response to my initial review, I deleted it and have written a fuller version here: My initial review: If you ask for the beef madras, expect something that looks and tastes like beef stew with curry powder. Also, if you comment about the late arrival of your meal, expect a reply such as "I've only got two pairs of hands [sic]". My fuller review: Let me first say that I wasn't the only person to complain about your beef madras. Nevertheless, if you think the dish was satisfactory, then neither will I be the last. Secondly, the comment made at the time about the delay in receiving the meal wasn't made as a complaint. It was simply to say that chips were expected with the main course. The person who made that comment wasn't me, and didn't deserve the response he got from your waiter. With regards to being rude and disrespectful to your staff, you really need to learn the definitions of those words, as does your waiter. The only time I had a negative interaction with your staff was when I said that the beef madras was the most unusual that I had ever come across. Instead of being offended, you ought to take it as a learning point. I have been served curries in many traditional English pubs and restaurants in the past, and none were like yours. As for my Google reviews, you will see that out of 26, 12 are 4 or 5 stars. Aren’t you disappointed that yours isn't one of them?

Fish was cooked fresh, batter was lovely and crispy, couldn't fault it! We ate in, the tables were clean and it was nice to get in out of the elements. The free to play retro arcade machine at the back of the shop was pretty cool!

Took 20 minutes for 3 coffees and 2 cakes to be delivered to table. When it arrived, hot chocolate had cream when it was asked for without, and coffee came without milk. A staff member started banging and crashing dishes in the back VERY loudly for 5 minutes, so loud you’d think it would all break and multiple people were covering their ears.

Awful experience. Staff are unfriendly. Half the ales were off. Toilet is disgusting. I wonder how this place is still open. Dreadful!.

Warm and welcoming with open fires. Excellent food and beer. Friendly and helpful staff particularly Darryl who went the extra mile to ensure that we had a great time

Went for Sunday lunch, the beef was so tasty and it's a brilliant price 😋
