Reviews in Keswick

This restaurant will have to do much better if they are going to stay in business. The food is OK (just OK) But we waited an hour for our starter to arrive which hadn't required any cooking and the main course arrived 40 minutes later. The very young staff were struggling but very apologetic.

Didn't eat in this wonderful old hotel but was stunned by the excellent spa facilities. The best I have enjoyed!

The food and service were great until 10.15pm. We tried to order a sweet and coffee. 'Sorry, the kitchen is closed, you can only have ice cream from freezer' and 'sorry, coffee machine has been cleaned, so you can't have a coffee'. The delivery of the message verged on rude, it was obvious they wanted to go home. The restaurant says open until 10pm - why no 30 minute warning? Anyway we obliged and went home without leaving a tip!

Excellent soup and a sarnie here for lunch in the sun at the weekend. There were a couple of tables outside that we snaffled on one of the few days that the sun shone this summer. Great spot on Lake Road to watch people wander by. Its quite cool inside too and is a bar as well as serving food

Visited this restaurant on the 28th August 2010. Starters menu very basic. I had the mussels in white wine and garlic, they had obviously been warmed up in the microwave and as a result had shrunk to virtually nothing and were very chewy. My husband chose the fried brie which had not been freshly made and looked like it had come out of your local supermarket freezer. Pizzas were good but at nearly £10 each were the most expensive I have had in any Italian restaurant in a long time. We didn't stay for sweets. Lot's of staff but service could have been more tentative and restaurant tables far too close together. Wouldn't recommend, there are much better restaurants in Keswick to try. No authentic Italian atmosphere, music was up to date pop!!!

Stayed here a few times and it is always good customer service. The place is very friendly, the food is delicious and I can bring my dog. It's the perfect place to unwind, traditional but with the modern comforts - and fantastic beds.

Just to let everyone know this restaurant has been newly refurbished and now has a wine cellar in which is truly amazing, we were shown round this by the Manager (I think his name was Stephen). We ate in there both nights of our stay and will be going back very soon. There was a good choice on the menu as my wife is vegetarian and also has some allergies but this was not a problem. We will be back and thank you for a great break away.

beer is top notch but the staff only care about the money (dude with grey hair and bad teeth is prime eg~~~~) been a local for years when winter is here that love you when summer is here they want the tourists, best try keswick lodge,dog and gun oddys ect

The Special Curry is to die for as is the Toffee Banana. Fantastic place!

Super food and great service I have had worse in so called Michelin stared establishments. Our experience would have put it with best the Lakes can offer on a good day none of your Heston style cooking here though. Traditional style of service with us all sitting down at the same time and the set menu worked very well for us as it stopped me suffering from my usual menu envy when looking at my partners food. Recommended!

Best pub in Keswick, well run, good beer, fab food, recommend the pork chops or steak

homemade chips, great portions really really good meal. Best meal we've ate in keswick for some 15 years of visiting. Advice to future diners here look beyond the slightly dated decor and you won't be disappointed

i cannot recommend this place on the basis of the manger ? tall guy blonde hair he is most probably the Basil Fawlty of the lakes . very unhelpful,no toliet facilities and not prepared to help when asking about bus service on new yers eve. would never go again !!

i love casa bella meals they are so nice te staff are well nice and friendly i love the lasagne and the garlic bread

Popped in for Sunday lunch at about 12.15pm. Pub filled up very quickly. Service was quick. Food was good. Lots people eating Goulash - I wished I had tried that!

We have dined here for the last 6 years.The food is excellent,reasonably priced and superb service ensures the food is still red hot when it gets to you.Judging by the outside of the property you would not believe what an excellent meal you can have.Just go in ,dine and you will find out what we mean.

Don't waste your money! Rude, impolite waitress ruined our meal and our last night. We didn't even have chance to read the menu before it was snatched off us. The food was slammed down on the table and was nothing more than average, the restaurant was too hot with too many people crammed in. We didn't leave a tip, we couldn't get out of there fast enough! We won't be returning or recommending to friends! Could this be because we dress differently? Talk about narrow minded!!!
