About Plant by Kat’s Kitchen

Plant by Kat’s Kitchen is located right beside the River Greta in the picturesque Lake District town of Keswick. The bistro is surrounded by fells and the riverside outside seating offers views over towards Skiddaw and Grizedale Pike. The building was initially the office and shop of the world’s first pencil factory (a museum now sits across the road) and is typical of buildings of its era; the bistro has a charming feel where dining is always relaxed, laid back and informal. The menu at Plant by Kat’s Kitchen is 100% plant based and showcases dishes from around the world. Kat and Nigel have travelled extensively and Kat grew up in Australia where her love of fusion food and salads developed. On the evening menu you’ll find dishes such as Caribbean Curry made from plantains and coconut; Turkish Imam Biyaldi – whole slow roasted aubergine in a rich and fragrant sauce; Poke bowls from Hawaii; and Buddha bowls, Kat’s personal favourite. During the day, you’ll find a lighter menu with authentic Moroccan falafels and sharing platters with ingredients from Italy, Greece, Spain and the Middle East.  Plant by Kat’s Kitchen is BYOB (wine, beer, cider) with a small corkage per head.

Great atmosphere and lovely staff. The food was great and wish we could've stayed for lunch too as the menu looks amazing! Perfect for wheelchair users to have a table at the front. Would love to be able to access the menu online/ on social media prior. Highly recommend :)

Had lunch Saturday this weekend and have to say the food was delicious! We had the winter salad and a burger washed down with some fruity smoothies. Service was friendly and quick too! We would highly recommend, little gem in Keswick!

The food here is always excellent. We’ve been several times whilst visiting Keswick. A good range of choices, super tasty and fresh. Whether you want something indulgent or more healthy. The menu changes too so there is always a reason to go back (although I love that the works burger stays there!) Staff are also very helpful and friendly. Highly recommended!

If food is to your stomach what music is to your ears, then Kat's kitchen is the Albert Hall and the food a symphony. Woody

Never had a vegatarian meal before but had heard great things about Plant by Kats Kitchen They made the most amazing cakes as a cafe sc vas intrigued to try as an evening meal Wow, amazing food. Such amazing flavours Everything is quality, from the apple and elderflower juice through all the starters, mains and puddings The pate was so smooth and flavoursome, The mushroom starter. Omg. Better than eating scallops. The Ramen was a taste delight. The burger was actually better than any beefburger ve eaten. The Baluga dahl again was bursting with flavour. Btw I didnt have all these, but I always have to have a taste of everyones Moving on to deserts. My daughter had the sticky toffee pudding with custard. Omg it was so light. Kat and Nigel were such perfect hosts. A fabulous meal in a perfect setting with great hosts. It was like being invited round to friends who are smazing cooks I think we might just be back again.

Lovely, charming little restaurant. Was greeted very warmly by a kind gent who introduced us to the resident dog. The space itself was homely, and our table was in the upstairs space. The food was perfect (top tip: go for warm choc brownie with the thunder and lightning ice cream for dessert). Overall a lovely experience and we'll 100% be back the next time we're in Keswick :)
