The chicken and ham pie and halloumi fries were pretty good. Very packed inside though and had to wait til someone left outside to get a seat. Order everything at the bar and they bring it out. Great vibes, lots of dogs. read more

First off, this place allows dogs inside...instantly off to great start . It is such a cute, quaint pub. My husband and I had a little bit of trouble finding a table initially but we grabbed a beer at the bar, and by the time we received them, a table opened up. We started with the mini Camembert- delicious- comes with bread, veggies, and caramelized red onion chutney!! I then ordered the Beef & Ale Pie and my husband ordered the Hungarian Goulash. My Pie was crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside. The mashed potatoes were thick and creamy and you can definitely tell it's all fresh! The goulash needed a pinch of salt but was overflowing with meat and potatoes and the tomato sauce was super flavorful. The garlic bread that came with the goulash was buttery and like the pie- crispy on the outside but soft inside! Easily one of the best meals we had while in England/Scotland. Lastly, don't forget to put a coin in the walls read more

An amazing find in the Lake District's Keswick! Our lovely hosts Jo and Mark of Lane Head Farm Country Guesthouse recommended this great place. They warned us that it would be difficult to find a table to eat because it's a popular amongst locals. But the boyfriend and I are daredevils and took the risk in order to sample their famous Hungarian Goulash! The Dog & Gun is a lovely wee find. It's a dog-friendly pub, and there were loads of adorable dogs... squealing at every moment I spotted a new one and begging the boyfriend for a puppy. But all my squealing and wanting was to no avail. Sadness. They feature a great range of ales with a good selection from the local Keswick brewery. After table-stalking for about 15-20 minutes, we swooped in and were able to nab a quiet little corner booth close to the fireplace. As with most pubs, you order the food at the bar. We had the famous Hungarian goulash and roast lamb shank... amazingly tasty and filling that we were nearly about to pop! We thoroughly enjoyed our experience in this lively dog-friendly pub. The presence of dogs made it especially better, because I've been keen on getting a pup for quite some time... but that's a whole other story. Moral of the story: definitely check it out if you're in the Lake District and have enough patience to table stalk in order to try out the delicious goulash and lamb, and enjoy tasty beers. read more

One of my fave stop offs. The lighting was nice, but Simon called it eerie. Coins in the centerpieces and rafters plus endless dog references everywhere as expected. Prices were par for course. read more

This pub is always busy in the evenings. Having been here a few times just for the goulash & tneakstons Old Peculiar beer. It does a range of local real ales. it's a must try location in Keswick. Be prepared to share your table & meet some new people. read more

This is an excellent pub which I go to frequently when I am in Keswick. Sheila's homemade goulash is a must which comes in regular size and large. The beer in here is not too bad either and they regularly have beer festivals. It has a good atmosphere and people of all ages can be seen in here. They have had a bit of a refurb and punters can be seen putting coins in any crack that they see, it is very dog friendly but we were disturbed by the number of flies flying around as we were trying to drink our pints and eat our food. read more

THE POSTCARD LIFE recommends. I like this pub because of what it is- really chilled, buzzing and full of life even in a small town like Keswick. Again right on the main street and very easily accessible. We went here only post 9pm so couldn't eat anything since they stop serving food post 9pm. But the atmosphere of this place is something you really need in that town. Do visit. read more

The food here is great and the atmosphere is even better. They have lots of dogs and you can bring yours to. I would not recommend this resteraunt for kids, just because they might not like the food, but thats up to you. Overall this is a nice place read more

Dog & Gun - Chicken pot pie!! - Pubs Near Me - Keswick, CMA

Went there on a Monday night in August, a very busy time of year. It was around 6:30 PM. Found a table outside, then went in to order at the bar. Lot's of people waiting to order. The two bartenders were doing a very poor job managing the crowd. One of them finally offered to take our food and drink order at 7:15. after placing our order, the bartender told us it would be a 45 minute wait for food. We decided to leave without completing the order, very disappointed and very hungry. Better crowd control at the bar is needed! read more

Great pub in the quaint lake town of Keswick! Just walk up to the bar, order your food and drinks, then find a spot to sit. Food arrives quickly, but tastes like it's been cooking all day. I enjoyed the Hungarian goulash, which was quite nice! We also ordered the chicken and wine pie, which was superb. Nice variety of draught beers. Welcoming atmosphere and plenty of dogs to pet (this is a pet friendly town at its best)! read more

i didn't make it to the bar after a long walk in the thunderstorm and hail a seat was more important then getting the drinks in so I left that task to the others. The interior is nifty, full of random bits attached to the ceiling including skiing gear and boots. The wall has local stories and pictures. AND all dogs are welcome so that was added entertainment. Good old pub, I'm sure i'll go back at some point. P.S my friends liked the ale, had a good local choice. read more

Variety usually leads to mediocrity, but not in their case. Great apps, great chicken tikka masala, great atmosphere. read more

Dog & Gun - Chicken Tikka Masala...yum! - Pubs Near Me - Keswick, CMA

Food: 3/5 The kind of meal you enjoy but not enough to return. Curry chicken tasted good though fans of more authentic Indian flavors and proper Naan may not be happy with it. Vegetarian goulash seems good too. Atmosphere: 3/5 The place was full on a Thu @ 6pm, and yes, a few cute dogs were present at well. Strangely it felt a bit too quiet. That pleasant buzz of relaxed cheerful conversation around you wasn't there. Perhaps we there at the wrong time. read more

Bangers and Mashed wasn't that great, had better other places. Curry was OK. Burger was OK. Warm, local place

A must if you visit Keswick lovely food but limited menu . Great beer . Dog freindly.

A proper pub, very fine indeed. We had the goulash special, which was hearty and toothsome. There's a great range of local ales, and folks can bring their dogs in to help clean up the spilt beer. The atmosphere is lively and inviting, the ideal cap to a day out walking the hills. read more

Lovely little pub with an atmosphere of its own. In line with the name there were quite a few dogs in there. A very interesting selection of real ales. They call themselves the "Home of Old Peculier" (my favorite), as they always have it. And it IS nice stuff! We really enjoyed the visit and will come back. read more

Great place to get a beer and a bite to eat. Dogs are welcome and almost outnumber the humans. Locals frequent the pub are very friendly. Located centrally and walking distance to the lake and theater. read more

I'd revise the other review's usual pub fare comment - it has REALLY good goulash and the large portion comes with an entire garlic baguette (you can get half portions too). Maybe you wouldn't want to come every day but go once for the goulash read more

Great fun! Stopped for a beer, petted a few pups and had the BEST piled pork nachos ever! Sounded sketchy but superb.

Nice little pub just off the Market Square with a good selection of local real ales. They also have a small menu that is reasonably priced but everybody just seems to go for the big bowl of goulash, which I also went for and found it to be superb. read more

This is a bustling and friendly town centre pub with a great atmosphere and good food. They make dogs really welcome and it was packed most days with locals and tourists and their canine buddies. The goulash and the chicken, ham and leek pies are fantastic, and they keep a good range of excelllent beers, especially Theakston's Old Peculier. All in all, highly recommended read more
