Swinside Inn

Arrived late for lunch after a very crowded cafe trip was aborted. They fitted two families in with no fuss. Good food, not too long a wait and a welcoming reception. Friendly staff. Middling prices. Fantastic location! A very positive experience... Thanks

Just been for the first time in a few years and very disappointed. Decided to have the curry of the day which happened to be a fish korma. Very bland. I reckon if I had eaten my napkin it would have tasted better. Was offered a free sweet in compensation which was very good but on receiving the bill was charged for it. I believe the current landlord/landlady used to run the Farmers Arms in Portinscale which always produced consistently good pub food. Have they failed to carry that quality over to a larger establishment I wonder? Having said all this perhaps it was just an off day for the chef, the wrong meal on the wrong day?

A nice seletion of food on the menu and reasonably priced, plus a good range of ales along with the usual on tap lagers. Nothing out of the ordinary in terms of price for a family of 5.
The staff were on form, attentive and well mannered and an establishment that I would definitely visit again.
If you want a pub with great views, that'll quench a thirst and feed an appetite after a good walk with a easy going atmosphere, look no further.

This is the best value for money pub I have been to in the Lake District by far. I have been visiting the lakes for over 25 years and I was very impressed!

Great selection of ales and food of a very high standard. Portion sizes were generous and service was excellent even at a time busy time.

I will definitely return soon. Thank you so much for your hospitality.

Just across the road from our room at Swinside Farm (not the same place!). If you are at the farm, you get a 10% discount on food. The Inn has great food and one of the best selections of beer we have found at a restaurant in Britain. Don't go cause it's close, go cause it's great!

Lovely views of local fells from outside seating area. Excellent new gin menu 😎

A welcome find after we missed the last boat - tip: the bar let us use their phone to order a taxi (DNK) which was only £8 back to Keswick, which is about the same cost as the boat. Food was great, service friendly, and they had a nice range of local ales. Great views and helpful locals.

I don't review stuff. But this pub lunch was well above average. This is my review 5 out of 5 pub lunch. Well done guys, you hit the spot!

Good Beer and food looks good even though I didn't eat here.
