Been coming here for years. The vegan stuffed roasted pepper is always spot on. You can tell they put care into it. Nice to have a proper option for different diets.

Been coming here for years, their porridge is spot on. Thick, creamy, just right. Coffee&#39;s good too. Staff are always polite and quick.

Been coming here for years, and the dog biscuit is a nice touch. Our spaniel always gets one, makes it feel like a proper local. Tables are always clean, staff are friendly. It&rsquo;s just a reliable spot.

The window tables have such a lovely view of the bay. A nice spot for a coffee, the ingredients in my salad tasted really fresh too.

Just popped in for a pint after they opened. Had the place to myself, which was quiet. Bartender was a friendly chap, happy to chat. The ale was spot on, really well-kept. A proper local feel.

The full English breakfast is a good deal. Sausages had a nice snap, the bacon was properly crispy, and the black pudding was spot on. The beans were a bit too sweet for my taste, but the eggs were cooked just right. Solid portion for the price.

Lovely little find in Bashful Alley! Great spot for a catch-up with a friend over coffee and cake. They&#39;ve got some nice veggie and gluten-free choices too.

Been coming here for ages, and the service is always quick. They just make you feel looked after.

The pesto gnocchi was really nice, and I enjoyed a couple of decent cocktails at the bar. Service was attentive and professional, which made dining alone quite pleasant. A solid spot for a solo meal.

Came by for a quick lunch. The haddock was fried just right, batter was light and not oily. Chips were crispy and the portion was decent. Hit the spot.

The Cumberland Ale was a great match for the Cowboy Burger. Generous portions, and the sticky toffee pudding was a treat.

Loved the lamb skewers! The patatas bravas are honestly the best I&#39;ve had. The cosy, Sicilian vibe is just right for a relaxed catch-up with friends. We ended up staying for ages.

A lovely dog-friendly pub in the heart of Keswick. The staff were so welcoming, even for our walk-in group with a pram. The atmosphere is warm and the pub itself is clean and cozy.

The lamb shank was the standout. Slow-cooked for hours, the meat just fell off the bone. Rich, deep flavour from the red wine sauce, and the mash underneath soaked it all up perfectly. A proper, hearty dish.

The full English was solid, especially the Cumberland sausage - proper flavour. Flat white hit the spot. Service slowed down when they got busy, but that just meant more time to chat with my mates.

The waitress was absolutely on it, really knew her stuff. Suggested a local ale that went perfectly with the hearty steak pie. Portions are generous, proper pub food. Service like that is a rare treat these days.

The Massaman curry was so comforting, rich and creamy with tender chunks of beef. The green curry had a lovely, fragrant kick to it. Both were spot on. The staff were really sweet and attentive, even on a packed Friday night.

The grilled fish was spot on, and the wine list had some nice options. Staff were really good at checking in without hovering, which was perfect for catching up with friends. Made for a relaxed evening.

Love the vibe in this old building! Came for a drink with mates, and the original features are so cool. Felt like stepping back in time. A really unique spot for a casual catch-up.

My regular spot in Kendal. The meze dishes are really nice, but I&#39;m always here for the freshly baked borek - it&#39;s so good I usually grab an extra one to take away. They&#39;ve got loads of vegan choices too.

Been here a few times, it&#39;s always packed. Staff are nice enough, but you do wait a bit for your food when it&#39;s heaving. Not a deal-breaker, just how it is.

Modern and clean spot, plus they&rsquo;re dog-friendly. Got the full menu for takeaway, which was ideal for a quick bite at the beach picnic tables. Simple and convenient.

Good pub food and a nice range of ales. Staff were really helpful squeezing us in when it was packed.

Cozy spot, really clean inside. I liked the little details in the ladies&#39; room, like the nice hand soap and fresh flowers. The whole place just feels fresh and looked after.

Stopped in on a road trip. The salt and pepper ribs were spot on&mdash;crispy and full of flavour. The real winner was their house red, a robust Shiraz that cut through the richness perfectly. Service was attentive without being fussy. A very pleasant surprise indeed.

Been coming here for years. The fried chicken and chorizo tostada are always spot on. You can taste the fresh ingredients, it&#39;s clear they don&#39;t cut corners. That&#39;s why I keep coming back.

Caught the match here last night. The big screens are perfect for watching, really clear from most seats. It gets quite lively when it&#39;s busy, which is fun. A good spot if you want to watch the game with a pint.

The decor here is so inviting, really cosy. Staff handled our big group without a fuss, still found time for a quick chat. Felt relaxed the whole time.
