Great pub, beers are well kept and service is always friendly. Classic pub food done well and at reasonable prices.

Was going to give 1 star, but upped it to two as the service was excellent. However the food was quite frankly...insulting. I ordered a cheeseburger which came with a side of chips and coleslaw and paid just shy of £17. The chips were obviously from a bag of frozen chips and the serving was tiny, the coleslaw was clearly store bought and the cheeseburger itself, the burger patty was cheap and wouldn't be surprised if it came frozen, wilted lettuce and a tiny slice of tomato. For £17 I would expect fresh cut chips, homemade slaw, fresh ground beef patty and plenty of fresh crisp salad on the burger. Oxford should put a photo of this meal in the dictionary next to the meaning of depressing.

Waiter (man on bar) started clearing my boyfriends plate as he had finished first and cutterly baskets when I was still eating my meal so rude. Food was average could be better 4th April visited
Vincent Dwyer
Great little pub but very busy at times. We couldn't get a table to eat. Only drinks. The food was very appetizing by the looks of it.
Pam Jones
shocking service by a Michael Smith dart player look a likewe were going to get food but only saw him for 1 minute out of 25 while I was their. more interested in talking and smoking outside

Dropped in for a bite to eat after a trip out on Derwent Water. Living in Grasmere we regularly visit Keswick and have visited a few times only for drinks but never food. That said, we decided to have a meal and we're lucky to find a table. The staff were very friendly and welcoming and made my toddler feel welcome and excited for his chicken nuggets and chips. The tables were very sticky and I was grateful I had long sleeves I could pull down.My wife had the tomato and basil soup and sadly it was way too salty, which is saying a lot as she can be a salt fiend. I had a cheese burger with chips and slaw and found myself deeply unimpressed. A plain white bun not even toasted, thin disc burger with token cheese and some shredded iceberg lettuce and tomato. The presentation was alright but the dish just lacked a bit more care. The plus side was my boys meal which was a very good portion size and his eyes were bigger than his stomach that we brought some home for him.I'd definitely go back for pint and bowl of chips again, but not much else.Parking: Plenty of pay and display parking options available in town, although I'd recommend arriving early as it gets busy and finding a parking space could be tricky during peak times.
Brilliant visit here on Wednesday evening this last week. Great meal and atmosphere.

Out of the many pubs in Keswick I had not been here. After a wet day's walk we were greeted by the friendly guy behind the bar and felt welcomed in, good choice of beer and drinks. Had a decent menu choice of good hearty meals.

We visit Keswick a couple of times a year and there are some great options for food, but this pub really disappointed. We paid £15 for steak and ale pie, mash and veg, for that price you’d normally expect properly prepared fresh food but we were served with instant mash, frozen vegetables and a pie we could have bought from Asda. The decor is nice and the lady serving was lovely but you can get far better food in Keswick for the same price.
