Reviews in Keswick

Awful! Greasy starters, stodgy rice, sloppy noodles, frozen veg! Avoid at all cost. Never had such an awful thai meal! Staff were lovely though.

We stayed at the Scafell hotel for the third time last weekend as it is just amazing. apart from the stunning surroundings and area (which speaks for itself), the hotel is lovely and the rooms are beautifully decorated to a very high standard. The staff were so welcoming and couldn't do enough to please us. They went above and beyond with their hospitality. The restaurant was very inviting and decorated very well, but the food?? It was to die for!! We have eaten at Michelin star restaurants and the food here was on par if not better than those..just divine! Their breakfasts have received awards and I understand why. A really good selection, served extremely well using the best quality products...the bacon is just delicious. We also had lunch in the riverside bar (a little more informal)...again the food was lovely, and the chicken in a basket was the best I've ever had (and went down with the kids). Overall you can not go wrong at this hotel...dont take my word for it...go yourself, and i bet you will be posting a glowing review too.

My boyfriend and I had the pleasure of a short stay at the Scafell Hotel over Valentines and had a fabulous time. The hotel was quaint with a modern twist and the staff were very friendly. In the evening, after a romantic stroll along the river derwent, we ate in the restaurant. The staff showed us to a table in the cocktail bar, by the open log fire where we had a small tipple and some canapes whilst we perused the uncomplicated menu. We were then shown to our table in the restaurant. I opted for a goats cheese starter whilst my boyfriend chose a seasonal soup, both were absolutely delicious. We both selected the lamb shoulder with all the trimmings for our main, which was cooked to perfection. Whilst I declined a dessert my boyfriend couldn't resist - obviously I helped out! It would be hard to find fault with the Scafell Hotel, we thoroughly enjoyed it and are looking forward to a 2nd visit, a perfect slice of the Lakes!

We were really happy with Woodstone pizza & Flame grill. The staff were all pleasant and helpful. We took our three year old son and staff were wonderful with him. It is definitely a place you can go with the family. The food took a little bit of time getting to us but we could see it cooking and see the staff were all busy. I will most definitely be going back with my family. I believe this is just a new restaurant in keswick . Well it may be new but its the best I've been to. Many thanks to all the staff

If you want a tasty topping on what appears to be a base cut out of 1/4in plywood then this is the place for you. One of the worst pizzas I've ever had. Other diners seemed to be having trouble cutting bite sized pieces off theirs. You should be able to take a sector, fold it and eat it without cutlery (as in Italy).

We have just stayed for 3 nights and could not praise the food more highly. Fantastic menu , really wonderful choices and all very interesting. A superb restaurant and a great place to stay. V good service etc FANTASTIC

This article keeps it real, no doubt.

Visited Keswick for a short break this week and ate here twice the burgers are scrummy recommend the wellie beefburger and chicken cheese and bacon burger. Very friendly waitress she was lovely

Visited here last Wed 4th May lovely decor and friendly staff tasted the best lasagna ever. My son enjoyed the wild boar and husband enjoyed the chicken pizza will return again.

An extremely friendly and well run restaurant. The food was both inventive and delicious, beautifully presented and certainly fresh. A really wide choice of flavours on offer with particular attention to 'foraging' finds. The staff were informative and attentive, nothing was too much trouble. Well priced too, a three course meal at £30.00 was bursting with flavour, variety and colour. Our family enjoyed an extremely warm welcome back on our 2nd visit, much the same as our 1st. Can't wait to go and be spoiled again.

great place, very welcoming and staff are all good with children. delicious food and brilliant service us as a family will be back and definitely recommend.. thank you Woodstone and good luck!!

Fabulous welcome, fabulous rooms and absolutely stunning food. Well prepared and intriguing in description, dishes turn out to be delicious every time. The staff are warm and friendly and everyone is approachable to he with questions and queries. We will go back again.

Excellent service, good quality food items, and as a Trainer/Assessor in the Hospitality Industry it is good to see places offering good quality at prices everyone can afford. Definitely recommended.

We enjoyed a fabulous meal at woodstone last night. The steak was one of the best we've had and the chicken Parma was delicious. We will definitely be going back and would certainly recommend it to anyone!

Lovely place, outstanding customer service, amazing food. A*******

even the wife says first stop is the dog and gun i'm not arguing

Rip-off Britain alive and well at Grange Bridge Cottage Tea Shop. Paid over £13 for (very enjoyable) snacks for 2 but refused an extra tea bag for personal preference without additional charge!! Refused ridiculous offer and declined to leave my normal 10% tip - so hardly good business for the proprietors!!
