My husband had the burger & asked for crispy chips. Best he has had for the whole trip!!! I had the soup & crusty bread. It really hit the spot after a long hike. Would come back here. All the other places were suffocatingly hot & crowded.

Good pub, very lively and right in the heart of main street in Keswick…read more Good food when we went, they were doing it in afternoon, but not sure if they do at night. Excepts all walks of life, but best to go in day.

Great pub with a pretty good selection of beer and some decent food…read more The location is superb and if you are staying in Boot you will no doubt be dropping in. More locals than the other pubs in Boot and plenty of chat to be had at the bar!! Good place for a cold refreshment if you are coming down off the hills!

The Boot Inn is situated in the tiny hamlet of Boot in the beautiful Eskdale Valley in the Lake…read moreDistrict. It's a favourite haunt for walkers and camper (the delightful Eskdale caravan and camping site is 2 minutes walk away). It's an excellent country pub providing good, honest pub grub and lots of local real ales. There's a terrific beer garden out the back with a decent children's play area - it's very family friendly and dogs are very welcome too. Inside there's a good sized bar area and pool table plus a TV set and helpfully they also post the latest weather forecast on the walls which is very useful if you're planning to venture off on a fell walk in the surrounding countryside. Staff are friendly and helpful and the prices are reasonable.

Right down on the quayside at Whitehaven, a tall narrow building. It has a small bar downstairs…read more A couple of real ales on tap at reasonable prices. Extensive menu, particularly of pizzas, which are good. It seems they do a roaring trade of outside delivery of these to the locals. All items on the menu are reasonably priced too. Service is friendly and accommodating

We visited the Vagabond for lunch, on the strength of another Qype review, and were very impressed…read more Good pub food and prompt friendly service. The soups were hearty and came with plenty of bread and butter. My goat's cheese sandwich came in a baguette with a decent salad and some coleslaw. We did not have desserts, but the menu had a good range.

It's about £7-12 for main meal, v.v. friendly and the staff go out of their way for you - book if you want to eat at the weekend though. It has rooms as well - never stayed cos I live here but I bet it would be a nice place for a weekend away.

Trout leapt in the sunshine, geese basked on the river bank, and all was well. The menu features the usual Cumberland suspects of course (sausage, steak,) but it is enlivened through a strong Mediterranean ambience. I had a crisp, fresh and flavoursome fishcake with chorizo and salad, coke and a coffee, and the bill came to just under a tenner. You don't have to be hungry to come here there's also a smart bar area where you can enjoy and drink or two.

Quite by chance, as a walk on, we happened upon this restaurant. 4 of us. Great efficient service…read morefrom the off, relaxed but attentive and well trained staff. The options looked interesting, and we went for the £18.95 meal deal, 2 courses. I had the chicken terrine with beetroot variations. Delicious. Others had fish cakes, again delicious. Main course was cod with pea risotto. Looked very pretty and tasted great. If I had one issue, over salted for my taste , but certainly not an issue. Wife had chicken and prawn carbonara. Both we're well prepared and eaten with gusto. Atmosphere was light, surroundings first class. Overall, really nice. And would go again without reserve.
