  Eating Out

Where to eat in Keswick?  There's no shortage of places for eating out around Keswick and the North Lakes.

The only difficult decision is which of these many and varied places to choose.

​

Are you looking for the best Restaurant in Keswick? Perhaps a Keswick cafe bar will fit the bill or a traditional English Pubs with local beer and food.

​

If you enjoy a lunch on the fells there is a selection of bakers, takeaways and delis from which to get a freshly prepared baguette - or be adventurous with a wrap!

​

With your appetite sharpened by a day in the fresh country air, there's plenty of choice in the evening. Whether you prefer fresh fish 'n chips, a kebab, pub grub, a four course restaurant meal, a gastropub adventure or a romantic dinner for two - it's here for you.

​

Enjoy local Cumbrian specialities such as Cumberland sausage or Tattie Pot (a rich stew with sausage, lamb, potatoes and black pudding); select from traditional English fayre or a restaurant offering worldwide cuisine from Italy, China, India, Thailand, Mexico and the Mediterranean.

​

Many establishments pride themselves on using both locally sourced ingredients and Fair Trade products. To end the day you can enjoy a local real ale or glass of wine in a traditional pub or stylish café bar, many with outside seating areas for the warmer months and roaring fires when the weather turns chilly.
