My husband had the burger & asked for crispy chips. Best he has had for the whole trip!!! I had the soup & crusty bread. It really hit the spot after a long hike. Would come back here.

Relax here, the staff is ready to make this luxury even better with whatever you need! Directions to many local hikes or hot coffee on the picnic tables. So much fun to have, there are gardens, strolls, patios and quiet libraries too. This is the most beautiful place I've ever stayed because I can get some rest, unwind and enjoy the great outdoors. Yesterday there was a local marathon- yes!- great runners charged past into the local town of Ambleside. Hikers and dog lovers are here too. National parks close by... what a get-away we are having!!

Such a charming pub and inn right in the middle of the Lakes District. There's a glorious view…read moreoverlooking the mountains right in front of the venue (with picnic tables if you'd like to sit and enjoy it with a pint). Brunch, lunch, dinner, and bar snacks are served at the Drunken Duck, and I'd only really recommend booking for dinner. The beer and cider are mostly local I believe. We did the curry bowl to share (vegetarian and VERY tasty - kind of wish I could get the recipe), scampi, fries, and tartare sauce (those fries are to die for!) and the lamb kofta, hummus, flatbread, and mint yoghurt (great for sharing and noshing). There's plenty of parking on the side of the inn. The inside is decorated beautifully (very insta-worthy), so maybe consider renting out for an event. And yes, you can bring your dog to dinner/drinks.

Definately the best and friendliest pub in Ambleside. Its located on Kirkstone Rd at the bottom of…read morethe struggle. There is a great selection of regular and locally brewed beers, the staff are very friendly and has a lovely relaxed atmosphere. They don't do food as in meals though there is usually a selction of homemade sandwiches and ppork pies on the bar. There's also a small seating area outside at the back of the pub, dogs are welcome too.

The views alone would get this place a good rating, even without the friendly staff and good…read moreselection of local ales! We stopped here for a rest during our jolly around the Langdales and it was the perfect place to stop and enjoy a nice drink in the sun. Food going out looked great and my girlfriend has been here before and said it's great. The ales on tap are varied and all from local breweries which is another plus point. My favourite bit though is the dog section - they have a dog menu! You can order things like doggy beer which comes with 2 sausages - so bring your K-9 pals with you! We got lucky with some fantastic weather which meant the outside Ice-Cream stand opened up and that looked great as well! All in all a lovely spot!

I ordered a meal of Cumberland sausage and in season green vegetables. The sausage was good, but…read morethe vegetables were almost non-existent consisting of four green peas and some lettuce. I am still not sure whether the lettuce was meant to be decorative or to be eaten. No dressing came with the lettuce. In short, I paid too much for this mean that came with no substantial vegetables. The service was very friendly and good.

A proper pub, excellent food, great staff, and a lovely owner. Wish we could have spent more time chatting with her. Fish pie is a top choice. Sticky Toffee Pudding is excellent, I asked for a second scoop to get my preferred pudding to ice cream ratio. Arrive early or book a table well in advance. We got lucky with bar seating both nights. Dog friendly, which was so great, even though we are not dog owners. Looking forward to going back again the next time we visit.

Well definitely one of the best places to eat in Keswick. Possibly too popular. Although the food…read moreis very good it's no longer the great it once was. I found the portions have diminished over the years since I first went there. The steak pie is no longer brimming with content. It's still very good particularly for value. But it's crowded and eating feels rushed. The beer quality is poor not because of the way it's kept simply it's no longer great beer. Jennings beer just is no longer the beer I fondly remember. The staff are good though service cannot be faulted.
