The Wainwright Pub - Carta

Great pub with a great name. Had an excellent gluten free fish and chip meal with a fantastic gluten free draught ale. Very polite and clean. Thank you

Beer great for the Camera crowd but bar needs to put fire on, a damp pub relying on customers to warm up bar isn’t good in anyone’s book. Please put fire on when it’s cold damp.

We all had fish and chips and one had sausage and mash x. It was lovely. Big portions. Home made chips not horrid frozen ones. Quick service. Nice bar. Friendly atmostphere. Deffo go again x Ver carta

The food was not good and unfortunately, the staff did not seem to care much. It's a shame because this place has a good reputation. The food was okay, but the bad service culture of the staff was disappointing.

So, after a great day at the brimstone spa we decided to wander along to the Wainwright Arms for a bit of Friday night subsidence. All I can say is that we were treated by a great team and the owner was wonderful. The food was 2nd to none and the staff manager wee attentive. Can recommend enough. This place is a gem x

Whilst I live in Keswick, it has been a few years since I last visited The Wainwright. Meeting friends who enjoy a beer and thought of The Wainwright for a change. Very impressed by the range and quality of the beers. Whilst it was mid afternoon and mid week just about every table was occupied and can see why. Will be back in the near future. Ver carta

I was greeted by a very unfriendly bartender who charged me £9 for a pint of beer and a lime and soda. I had to request a receipt and he reluctantly gave it to me. When I asked about the price of the lime and soda, he just grunted. £1.90 for soda and £2 for lime cordial... unbelievable! On the positive side, £5.10 for a pint seemed like a good deal!

This pub is fantastic, and credit goes to Johan and the team for running it so smoothly. It embodies the perfect atmosphere of a pub in the Lake District. They offer a variety of beers, delicious food, and a diverse crowd all enjoying themselves. My wife mentioned that the Christmas decorations this year were especially impressive, Johan. We will definitely be returning every time we visit Keswick.

We came to Keswick for the day and spotted this pub whilst having a wander. We managed to get a table even though it was 1pm on a Sunday. We had 2 dogs with us and they were able to go anywhere in the pub, which suited us brilliantly. Nice choice of lagers, in particular the Cruzcampo. Lunch was either beef or pork so we both settled on beef. There was a bit of a wait but it was absolutely worth it. Beautiful thick, soft and moist slices of beef, creamy mash, roasties, carrots, parsnips and mange tout topped off with a big Yorkshire Pudding and lovely thick gravy. I took my hubbys parsnips in return for my roasties. Both were lovely. So full we couldn't manage dessert. Cost was £13.25 per me... Ver carta
