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.
