| I don't recognise the pub that I visited from the negative comments below. Good range of Jennings beers at a price charged elsewhere in the country plus friendly and welcoming staff. Didn't eat as we got in too late for food. Pub was very comfortable. Plus very handy for George Fishers. villagefamily - 17 Apr 2012 11:28 |
| This is a pub which basically takes the p**s out of drinkers. During Easter I went in for a drink with my girlfriend and was amazed to see Jennings Snecklifter at £3.30 a pint. Needless to say I didn't order any and shan't be going in again. At prices like this it's no wonder the pub trade is in trouble. If you fancy a decent (and cheaper) drink in a relaxed atmosphere try the Square Orange around the corner. killip_ian - 12 Apr 2010 16:06 |
| Agree about the price of drinks. £2.95 for a pint of bitter is a bit over the top although the Sneck Lifter was served well. Food we had was OK. Pub certainly needs a refurb as it was looking a little worn on our recent visit. davewat - 9 Nov 2008 20:04 |
| On Saturday the 18th October 2008, my partner and I went to the Four in Hand pub in Keswick for a meal and to dry out after a wet walk. The interior had a dog-eared, under-maintained feel to it, but it was lovely and warm and everywhere else in Keswick was full, so we decided to stay as we only had a couple of hours before the theatre. I was charged over £6 for 2 drinks and then we ordered food - a bowl of mushroom soup each and tachos to share. The tachos had some nondescript bland cheese sprinkled over the top which had been superheated in a microwave, resulting in rock hard cheese holding together a large lump of soggy tachos. This was served with half a tub of mayonnaise, salsa out of a jar and 2 large onions, roughly hewn. This, however, was a delight compared to the mushroom soup! First impressions were of a bowl of watered down tar, with some curdled streaks of white liquid slowly sinking into the middle. Anyway, always ready for a challenge we tasted it. It was disgusting. Completely disgusting. We suspect the "soup" had been made by pouring boiled water into 2 bowls, dumping in a handful of dried field mushrooms, then throwing in half a jar of black pepper. It was tasteless, watery and very very peppery. After several attempts, we gave up and my partner sent it back to a shrug of indifference from the waitress and no offer of a refund. Do not go to this pub, even if you're cold, wet and hungry. You will waste your money. This is clearly a pub whose only goal is to rip off the tourists. Cumbria doesn't need boozers like this, with no concept of Customer or Quality. happymarra - 20 Oct 2008 12:41 |
