Reviews in Cumbria and Lake District

Excellent food, as always. This is one of my favourite places to eat in keswick, the food is always hot and fresh. Decent portion sizes and they always have a great specials board. I live in Peterborough and when ever I visit the lake district I always make sure I'm booked in here, I'd happily drive the 4 hours just for their fish pie!

Amazing food and friendly staff.

We had starters, main meals and soft drinks. Really enjoyed it. Although there was a slight mix up with the order, it wasn't a problem as food was lovely. Short staffed on the day we went but staff apologized, not a problem though as we didn't wait much longer than normal. Thank you to your staff, we will return and won't hesitate to recommend The Hope and Anchor.

Each time we visit Keswick we book a meal here, as usual, it was excellent and looking forward to going again in July

Great food always visit when we are in the area

Lovely setting. Friendly staff. Fabulous roast beef dinner. Good wine and beer selection. Only negative comment was re one of our desserts. We will return

We visited at very short notice and they were able to accommodate a party of nine .Food was exceptional, yes we waited a little longer than normal for our food but it was all freshly cooked and piping hot . Selection of beer kept the boys happy . All round a great experience. Portion size is generous, we didn’t have room for dessert

Excellent prawns and scallops. Loved the steaks but where disappointed with chicken and gnocci dishes

Great food, friendly staff. Portions are very generous and tasty. Strongly recommend, particularly if you’ve had a day of walking.

Excellent food as usual. Never disappoints

Excellent service. Great atmosphere but most importantly fab food! This is our second visit here and we were not disappointed. Homemade pie/fresh veg what’s not to like.

very tasty food, friendly attentive staff, but very noisy from people talking over the music, echoey as no sound deadening

Always come whilst in Keswick and again had a lovely meal. Staff were excellent and joined in a daft prank we played on a group member .. brilliant!

Have been going to this restaurant for the last 4 years and it never disappoints. Great food great service and an added bonus it’s dog friendly. Will certainly be back

Great atmosphere, excellent friendly service. Exceptional food. Thoughtful menu and beautifully presented. Very good value for money.

Our first experience of the Friday Supper Club. Loved the charm of the unusual setting. Great food and service with excellent value for money. Will definitely be back!

As people fairly new to the area, we were so looking forward to our lunch with friends, hoping that it would become a regular destination for us. Disappointingly, that wasn’t the case as the service was very poor. We waited half an hour at the table before drinks were served, the food came nearly an hour after our previously booked time and we gave up on waiting for the dessert menu to come, preferring to go home for tea and cake. We acknowledge that it was a glorious day and there were a lot of customers outside but it seemed to us that they took precedence over the people who had reserved a table. What a shame.

We had an amazing meal here, food was delicious. If I could give the staff a rating of 10 out of 5 I would. They went above and beyond. Great atmosphere but the noise levels made it difficult to have a proper conversation.
