Food Scene

Our favourite pizza place in Keswick; go here if you like thin and crispy pizzas with delicious toppings. Their taps is great, and they have a good selection of European and local beers too.

Great food close to the lake with a new walled garden opposite the cafe. There is also a jetty for the launch here; check with staff for details of pick-up times as Lingholm is not on the main timetable. Very popular so worth going mid-week if possible to avoid the crowds!
