Family restaurant & take away come and enjoy a unique experience in a relaxed atmosphere and enjoy some of the best cuisine our chef has to offer.

Set in the heart of Cumbria, Bar Metro, based in Keswick is an American themed family friendly diner. Run by Simon Ruggles and Toni Bruce, Bar Metro opened in October 2014 and has been serving great American and Tex Mex Style food ever since.
Our food is sourced locally wherever possible and our meals are produced with the best ingredients we can get. We make our burgers from scratch and we flame grill our BBQ meats and veg so you can enjoy the full flavour of great food.

We provide a range of fare from coffee cakes and sandwiches to our eclectic evening menu, wine and beer. Our food is well travelled, our aim has been to have an interesting but simple menu using seasonal ingredients drawing influences from around the world. The food is not fussy or contrived, just delicious and wholesome and served in a lovely atmosphere.
We are serious about our coffee and use Monmouth beans which changes seasonally to provide our customers with their daily fix.

Biker friendly, family friendly, dog friendly cafe in Keswick. Located just of the A66 with free parking and outdoor seating you will find a friendly bunch serving hot food and drink 7 days a week.
We serve all day breakfasts, fresh home made pancakes, delicious burgers including our portobello and mushroom burger as well as variety of other dishes and daily specials.
Founded in 2011 The Filling Station Cafe was the first and probably still the only biker friendly cafe in the Lake District. However we welcome all to our humble cafe in Keswick. At the start of 2018 the menu went through a complete overhaul, improving some of the old favorites and bringing new dishes and flavors to our loyal customer base. The reaction to our new menu has been overwhelming positive.

The Coffee Lounge is a family-owned business in the centre of Keswick providing freshly cooked meals and great coffee in a relaxed comfortable environment. We also offer a large selection of freshly baked cakes, tray bakes and scones, all made on the premises.
We use the best ingredients provided by local suppliers including Taylor's bacon, Farrer's coffee and, of course, traditional Cumberland sausage. Our milk and eggs are delivered daily from a local farm in Braithwaite.

The Derwentwater is a welcoming hotel set in its own picturesque grounds. From the elegant conservatory you can enjoy a very pleasant stroll down to the water, keeping a look out for the elusive deer and red squirrels along the way. If you are feeling energetic, a pleasant stroll taking in the lake will bring you out in the bustling town of Keswick - the beating heart of the Lake District.
Back at the hotel you can dine in style at the Deer’s Leap Restaurant, admiring splendid views towards the water as you enjoy a hearty meal. After dinner, why not retire to the Derwent Bar? Here you can sip a cooling drink in the summertime or get cosy by the roaring fire in winter – a real favourite for tired legs when you’ve spent the day walking the trails! Dogs are welcome at the hotel and the apartments, by prior arrangement and for a small fee.
