The Dog And Gun - Carta

Lovely lunch time meal. We had the steak and ale pie and the goulash, both were delicious! Dog friendly pub too which was handy (although it seems most places are nowadays)!

We had to queue 10 minutes before opening time but we weren't disappointed! The family all ate well and enjoyed what was served. Nearly 16 years since eating my last goulash and tasted as good as I remember.

Called in for lunch as we always do on our annual visit to the Lakes. As always a friendly welcome even if you’re wet through. Had the obligatory Goulash which we’ve had every time we visit. It was excellent, it never changes. Already looking forward to next years visit. Ver carta

Have been coming to this pub for years and it never disappoints. Brilliant atmosphere, lots of friendly customers with their lovely dogs. The staff are always efficient and really welcoming. Would wholeheartedly recommend the goulash if you are passing by, it is a fantastic dish to have on a cold day after a muddy walk.

Finally managed to get a table at this popular pub when in Keswick on Holiday.It has a great range of beers/ales and lovely food which we all enjoyed and the goulash was excellent as always.The large version is huge so beware unless you have a big appetite like me. Staff are also good and really helpful so see you next year if we come to Keswick.

We stopped by this old pub for a meal after a long walk around the lake. It was very crowded and we had to wait a while for a table, but it was well worth the wait! The pub is famous for its Goulash and rightly so.....there is also a varied menu if Goulash is not your thing. An excellent range of beers including Old Peculiar! Great staff and friendly atmosphere. Well worth a visit ......but go early to grab a table!! Ver carta

We called in after a days walking having had the pub recommended by friends and the landlady of our BnB. The atmosphere and beer selection was amazing. Well kept Guinness and a very smooth Borrowdale bitter. However; the Goulash was very poor, having returned earlier this year from Hungary, we were so disappointed, The potatoes were old/ had that heated up taste. Sauce was far to acidic- all tomatoes and no paprika. Two tinned button mushrooms. Loads of dry meat. Small tender dumpling… best part of it… but very small. and one thin slice of barely toasted garlic bread. People on the next table were equally unimpressed with their Hunters chicken … how can any pub claim to serve great food when...

My husband and I used to be regulars here before lockdown, the staff are friendly and the food is great, however since we got our 2 pups we’ve only had the odd pint sat outside. Our terrier is no bother at all, but our GSP is a very nervous dog and sometimes barks at strangers when inside (never outside with no malice, just fear! . Last week we decided to take the plunge and have lunch at our favourite pub in Keswick, the dogs were generally good but when the server came with our food the pointer did bark at him when he was close to the table; he handled it brilliantly, crouched down to her level and let her sniff him, then brought them a dog biscuit each to show he was a friend! Thank you y...

Busy, busy pub, shame it's not twice the size. We visited the pub on a couple of occasions, the first time it was packed and looked like it would be a long wait for a table so we left and went elsewhere. We returned the following night but a little bit earlier, it was still very busy and all the tables were taken. We decided to have a drink ad wait for a table, which was about 15 minutes. SERVICE: Very polite and friendly staff who were all very busy but still engaged with the customers. Very efficient. FOOD: We ordered the Goulash and Pie. Both were very tasty and enjoyable, we would order the same again. A staff member checked to make sure that everything was ok a few minutes after receivi... Ver carta
