The best restaurants in the neighbourhood of Keswick North West

30/09/2020: We enjoyed an early dinner here yesterday (booked in advance). Service was efficient and we didn’t wait long for anything. The food was very tasty and we enjoyed a couple of local beers as well. Marked down a star as we realised after leaving they had charged us higher prices for our main courses than what was on the menu.

27/09/2020: Had to get takeaway from here as the restaurant was full but lived up to all the great reviews. Definitely recommend

13/10/2020: The breakfasts here are exceptional. Home made hash browns and beautifully cooked baby tomatoes accompanied the cooked breakfasts. Merienda offers variations of the typical full English. Delish! Staff very attentive and pleasant. Good value for quality of food.

12/10/2020: We came across this little gem as we wandered in Keswick on a Saturday during our weekend in the Lakes. Im glad we stopped for lunch. We were quickly acknowledged and seated when we entered the restaurant, and service was wonderful throughout. Staff were all lovely and seemed on top of everything, with people served and tables cleared promptly. The food was delicious - we had a grilled chorizo sandwich (chorizo, red pepper, rocket) and the reuben (grilled cheese, pastrami, & something else?!). Both sandwiches were served with delicious slaw and super fresh bread. Food was reasonably priced and portions were generous too. All in all, a wonderful experience in a pretty chilled wee restaurant. I highly recommend a visit and I'd love to return another time.

04/10/2020: It wasn’t just the food which is delicious but we were made to feel very welcome, the service was excellent, everyone was friendly and the ambience was nice. We shared 5 tapas between 2 of us which didn’t look a great deal but filled us up nicely without being uncomfortable. The coffee after the meal was the best I’ve had in a long time. Thanks for a lovely evening.

03/10/2020: Lovely quirky little restaurant in Keswick. Cocktails were fantastic and the tapas was really tasty with a lot of a choice. The staff were also really welcoming. Not 5 stars because I felt it was a little pricy, a pound or two off some of the smaller dishes like the chorizo and the chips and dips would have been more reasonable.

30/09/2020: The restaurant required booking because of the COVID restrictions, and yet was quite full despite these. Tables were well-spaced; staff were very friendly (albeit masked); service was good.There was a basic £20 charge for 2 courses; £25 for 3; and some dishes had an “add-on” (e.g. £3 for duck breast; £10 for steak). The wine list was quite extensive and reasonably priced with a few pleasant ‘house wines’ by the glass. The pan-fried scallops - from the “Specials” menu - were much appreciated by my wife - we both had the roast duck breast with a dark cherry sauce and opted for different vegetables. The rhubarb & ginger cheese cake was pleasant but somewhat uninspired; and the “Mess” was excellent.Well worth a second visit!

28/09/2020: Tables well spaced. Food very good and tasty. Service always good and friendly here. If you're looking for somewhere to rat where you can dress up then this us the place to go in Keswick.

01/10/2020: Back in Keswick so an essential visit the The Square Orange. We weren’t disappointed as brilliant as ever. The Covid measures they have taken mean you feel safe yet not completely detached from the atmosphere. Yet the friendly attentive staff made us as welcome as ever.

28/09/2020: Have tried to eat here before but never been able to get a table. Now it's possible to get a table reservation (wasn't before so great change!). Food really good and atmosphere ideal. Friendly service. Cosy place to eat.

09/10/2020: This restaurant has the distinction of being the closest such establishment to the cottage we have stayed in for two weeks. It was only natural that we should try it but now wish we hadn’t left it until the penultimate evening as the whole experience was so good. Had we ate here earlier there is little doubt that a return visit would have been in order.Meat of the highest quality, cooked exactly to one’s individual taste in a fairly uncommon and interesting way is the highlight. Everything else - the wine list, the side dishes and desserts and the friendly efficiency of the staff - simply adds to an enjoyable dining experience.

08/10/2020: A restaurant with a difference! Good quality food and a good choice of wines. Friendly staff and all tables and seats are cleaned between guests. Covid rules are followed so we felt safe dining there. I would highly recommend it as it has a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

04/09/2020: We called in yesterday on a day trip to Keswick, the shop itself is lovely with all the fresh ingredients on display...the kids sampled the standard sausage rolls whilst we tried a pork and chilli sausage roll, a smoked salmon cream cheese & rocket sandwich on the nicest softest bread with great additions like the crack of black pepper & fresh lemon, and finally a slice of the home made pizza,, absolutely amazing food even the dog enjoyed a small bit of sausage roll! Would definitely come back

11/08/2020: A superb vegetarian sandwich - full of flavour. Delicious coffee and awesome vegan sausage roll. The only difficulty was choosing what to have!

01/10/2020: Really good soup and a sandwich. Traditional style pub that must be very cosy in the winter. Let down slightly by the loud, 80's heavy metal sound track.

01/10/2020: We had a family meal in the evening and the food was lovely. Service was great with friendly staff and comfortable seating. The tables were well set up to take account of Covid-19 rules and we felt safe.

20/09/2020: Just popped in here for a morning drink and was pleasantly surprised. The drinks selection was extensive and my pumpkin spiced latte was delicious! The staff were friendly, professional and were completely

17/09/2020: We found this little coffee shop on Google and the picture we saw looked gorgeous so we called in today to get a takeaway as my partner is obsessed with mochas so he had one and I had a chocolate orange frappe and wow they was the best we had ! The girl that served us was so lovely and friendly!! We went back in straight after for another drink and this one was equally as amazing! Will definitely visit again !

21/09/2020: Fish and chips is not a complex cuisine; or so you would have thought. But SO many fish & chips shops serve food that is, at best, mediocre.Kingfisher isn't one of them.We ate in the upstairs restaurant and we all ordered the large cod with chips, mushy peas and a portion of onion rings between us.The first thing that struck us was the size of the portion. The cod was, indeed, very large and meaty and there were enough (proper, chunky) chips to sink a battleship. The batter on the fish was light and crispy. In fact, everything was spot on.Visit here with confidence and enjoy!

21/09/2020: We absolutely love this place. Excellent fish and chips, and brilliant service. Thank you ever so much. We visited this place last year and it has become a tradition of ours. We will definitely be back when we visit Keswick again.

03/09/2020: Visited here for lunch and were so impressed! So many options on the menu to choose from, we went for the vegan burger and daily special of curry, both were amazing! Friendly staff, very safe with masks mandatory inside whilst ordering, track and trace and sanitizer at the door. Outdoor seating is under cover so still perfect when the weather is not so great! Will definitely be back!

03/09/2020: We drove from Windermere to Keswick mainly for breakfast at Kat's.Definitely were not disappointed.Staff were very friendly and very accomodating, more than happy to chop and change items on their menu.Food was freshly cooked and very tasty.I would recommend this place to everyone and am seriously contemplating stopping off on my return journey for some home made cake

11/10/2020: We really enjoyed tea and scones at Mrs F's and the staff were very friendly. COVID measures in place - contact details taken, staff wearing masks and cleaning the tables. The reason I gave it 4 rating is because a table of four people walked through the cafe not wearing face masks. A polite reminder, about wearing masks, from the staff would have made us fell safer.

02/10/2020: We were there at the same time as a previous reviewer who was allowed to play the piano! Lovely playing by the way! And yes the soups was really good, and gluten free. They also had gluten free cakes too. A really quirky place, lots of vintage sofas, chairs and tea served in teapots with proper cups and saucers. The service was great and the staff were very friendly. We will go back next time we are in Keswick.

01/10/2020: We went for a walk around part of Derwentwater lake and popped into Treeby's cafe for cakes and coffee. They were lovely - just what we needed!

26/09/2020: Dropped in for lunch..had a short wait outside but it was worth it and staff were attentive and informative about the wait. First noticed the thorough clean down between table service..even the menus got a wipe. Then the food. Well first day I had the open prawn sandwich, which was so good that next day I was back for the plaice goujons. Winner!! All accompanied by a solid french chardonnay. No room for the magnificent lemon meringue pie but the next table assured us that it was as good as it looked. This is a delightful lunch spot, relaxing with a touch of french bistro. Would equally be great for coffee and cake or traditional cream tea after a walk round the lake.

15/08/2020: Called in today with my 2 children. one been lactose intolerant. They checked if the fruit teacakes were dairy free and they were but unfortunately they had no dairy free spread left. But this wasn't a problem the ran to the shops and got a spread my daughter could have. They could not have gone more out of their way to make us feel welcome and nothing was too much trouble. It's always been a place we have visit while in Keswick because the Scones are amazing and the service is always on point. Thank you

10/08/2020: Had a lovely lunch at Laura in the lakes , very welcoming to those with dogs and lots of parcels . The limited menu still managed to feed a meat eater ,vegetarian and a vegan with lovely sandwiches and cakes thank you

26/09/2020: Came across the filling station by accident really, looking for somewhere to grab a coffee and snack and found this place, good coffee and tea and the food that was being served looked amazing, just had some of the lemon drizzle cake and it was amazing!!

21/09/2020: Once again I popped into the cafe for lunch during a long bike ride around West Cumbria. Cajun chicken sandwich and pancakes. Quality was very good, portion size just right. Service excellent and staff were friendly and helpful. Well worth a visit
