Saved the day after our experiences at the Dog and Gun.
More geared to dining than drinking. Food was good value and OK quality wise.
3 beers on and Hartley Cumbrian Way in good nick.

Robinsons pub at the top of the High St a stones throw from the Dog & Gun.
4 pumps offering 3 Robinsons ales and a local Cumbrian ale. I went for the house beer which was Lake Road Inn Bitter @ 4.5% and brewed by Robinsons.
Small inside with a neutral & modern decor, there is a very pleasant courtyard garden to the rear, this is also where the Lake Road Inn barn is, tables in here I guess for sheltering from the rain. The outside men's toilets were clean and well looked after.
Pretty quiet at 4.15 on a Sunday afternoon with a few people inside watching the tennis.
The Lake Road Inn is a decent enough food led pub with a nice selection of ales, not much more to say than that.

Indifferent beer and truly vile food.

Wedge shaped pub, four pumps serving Robinson's beers. I can't recall what I kicked off with but it wasn't good. My second pint, Dizzy's Dark Side wasn't too bad. The decision to eat here was a mistake - I had cod and chips - the fish was well past it's best and the chips, well, I'm still not sure how they were made, having a consistency I've never experienced before. Couple this with offhand service and your reasons for coming here reduce to zero. I suggest you avoid this place and go to the excellent Dog & Gun just next door.

Must have a hard time competing with next door, but does a reasonable job of it. Good ale from Robinsons, friendly barstaff and some interesting old breweriana on the walls.
|
One of the few pubs you can get in on a Friday night. One pint of Unicorn consumed. A bit cloudy for my liking. Nice staff and popular.
|
�3.40 for a pint of Cumbria way!! Ouch!
No wonder it was quiet.
|
Not a patch on its old self now Robinsons have taken over.
|
Good point about below about being overshadowed by the Dog & Gun, but I actually had my best pint in Keswick here. The pros outweigh the cons here.
|
A Robinsons pub so sampled some of their own ale,which was fine. Sat in the beer garden due to being hot,plenty of folk around. Again I am critical of the pricing of ale �3.05 for Unicorn is way too steep. Did not eat any food on my visit
|
Nice friendly pub with decent meals. The beer could be better but still not too bad. Worth going on way down or back from the lake.
|
Traditional Robinsons pub in the shadow of the always packed (but excellent) Dog and Gun. This works in its favour as it's far less packed and you've a far better chance of getting food here, which is very good and reasonably priced. Usual Robinsons range but cosy atmosphere and friendly staff means that this is a very good pub. aAlways worth a visit alongside its more prolific neighbour.
|
Next door to the Dog & Gun this is a traditional small pub with interesting Victorian artifacts on the walls & shelves. Choice of Robinson's & guests. I had an excellent pint of Cumbria Way from Hartley's on my recent visit.
|
Popped in here for a pint on way to theatre and was welcomed by staff and thanked when leaving. Average pint of Robinsons but the atmosphere and surroundings plus the site of the food coming out of the kitchen would certainly encourage me to return when next in Keswick
