While the upper room/ overspill restaurant of the Oddfellows is extremely basic ie no charm whatsoever the value for money was great in our opinion. The four of us each had the '3 course special' so we qualified for 2 free bottles of wine, thank you very much. The menu was traditional fare (my choice good old gammon grill' but... More

It could be a great bar that is in a great location but sadly I get the impression that unless your a local then your treat as just another tourist and somewhat of an imbugarance to the barman which is a shame really because without the visitors then I would suspect the said barman would not have job?

This has to be one of the worst eating establishments ever. OK it's a pub and you can't expect the food to be of a high standard but I find frozen reconstituted triangular fish still cold in the middle a little bit hard to take. We had arrived at 21.03 according to the clock and although we had a party... More

Spent a very pleasant couple of hours in the company of Jennings Cumberland ales and the biggest Yorkshire puddings I've ever seen! The gentleman next to me had his pud filled with Cumberland sausage, veg and chips; mine was full of the most delicious beef & ale stew. If you're after a smart gastro pub with fancy sounding things on... More

Ideal place to eat if you have a family. Its not cordon blue grub just good value and good wholesome food, where else can you buy a Sirloin Steak with all the trimmings for £9 or a large Yorkshire Pudding full of vegetables and sausage for £5.50. But beware, it gets very busy between 7 - 8pm and you have... More

I ate it because i'm greedy...... anyway because keswick is a tourist haven, basically they could serve anything and still get custom. The staff... More

We stumbled around this place on a 3 day trip to Keswick. We felt like listening to some live music so went here as they were advertising live music on this Thursday night. To be honest as we walked in we just about walked out again as it was quiet and old. But the thought we would just grab a... More
