Enjoyed our first visit. Food and service very good. Not as good for me on our second visit. Please review your Thai style curry. Too sweet with no depth of flavour. Strange combination of vegetables, and too many stringy mange tout. Didn't eat it and wasn't asked by the young waitress why . Restaurant was full and tables close together, didn't want to cause a fuss. Disappointed. Hope however, my opinion on this dish is useful?
Lewis’s Bistro – GrasmereParty of two people on a walking weekend stayed locally to Badger Bar. Had both evening meals here. First night fish and chips, mushy peas and tartar sauce. Second night steak pie and chips. Service is excellent at the bar and restauaurant, the staff are very polite and helpful. Both meals were well cooked and large portions to satisfy the hungriest of people after a long hike. I would recommend the Badger bar and restaurant to anyone. We do think the price are a tad high but accept the fact. Also we are not dog people and having dogs in a restaurant is a not an ideal scenario for us. Maybe they should have a separate area for people who dine with, or without dogs! Maybe outside if you have dogs! Overall, thank you to the staff for looking after us.

Grants Of Castlegate – PenrithFood quality and taste was incredible, and service was very attentive. While overall value was good, the sea bass portion size was too small - ravioli was the lead ingredient, with sea bass being a minor component.

Grants Of Castlegate – PenrithWe dined on the first sitting so eat before 2pm on a Thursday. Pub was very quiet which was nice. Two starters baked Brie and the Thai fish cake both lovely. Mains we had the beef curry and chicken and leek pie. Again really nice, the amount of food is great they don’t skimp on the meat portion's. We always book each time we visit Keswick
