  “A lovely, cosy atmosphere in here, full of friendly faces. Jo in particular, the lady who served us behind the bar, was absolutely fantastic, so personable and charismatic. Sadly we didn’t eat here as we had already eaten, but the food smelled amazing. Will definitely come back to try the Sunday roast, and to see Jo!!”

  “Fantastic local close to where we were staying in Keswick. Had one large Goulash between the two of us and it was grand! Friendly staff and so popular we were lucky to find a table.”

  “Absolutely gorgeous little pub and some truly tasty food. I was along by myself and just wanted something that wasn't too big or small so had the chicken shwarma flatbread, which I had to stop eating to photograph, so trust me it looked much prettier about 5 minutes earlier. Just too cramped for how busy they are but it can't be helped, and staff are so friendly. From tourists to happy locals it's a great vibe!”

  “Every year we visit and every year we are not disappointed. The staff are friendly and polite, the ale is kept to perfection and they always have a great choice. The peculiar is our favourite, very tasty. Then we get to the menu, there's something for everyone but you can't go wrong with the Hungarian goulash, traditional recipe and extremely tasty. Give it a try you'll not be disappointed.”

  “Steak and Ale pie, looked fab ( extra large) however this one was almost a veggie pie 🤣. Still ate it but was disappointed. When clearing table staff asked if everything was ok, politely mentioned the lack of steak, didn’t make fuss but gave an honest reply. Fantastic service offering a refund! 👏”

  “Just spent a few days in Keswick and came across this gem of a pub. Great selection of beers I can thoroughly recommend 'Dark side of the Lune' a stout and bloody lovely! Had lunch on a couple of days the Goulash gets rave reviews and rightly so it is delicious really good, the Chicken and ham pie is also spot on, my Mrs had the shredded mushroom chilli which again was excellent and the hunters chicken which was also great. All in all a very good experience staff were great and pub is thriving which is great to see. Keep up the good work well done.👍”

  “Cosy little pub with great food, beers and friendly staff. The goulash is incredible. My wife had the buttermilk chicken burger and it was delicious, very tender. Prices are reasonable too. It was super busy on a cold weekday evening in January which tells you something! We waited and got a table near the fire which was nice and warm, but if the place looks full, keep trying because the food and drink is worth it!”

  “Have been twice now, the first was for the goulash and the katsu chicken. Both delicious. This time, we had the sweet chilli chicken and the hot honey chicken burger. The burger was on par with Korean fried chicken, in regards to crunchy coating and juicy chicken fillet. Blooming lovely. Was served by Ru, who I nearly gave a heart attack with, as I am lactose intolerant, and ordering something with dairy in haha, sorry Ru. She is lovely and friendly, a bubbly personality and happy to help. Great visit, thank you”

  “Arrived 15minutes before kitchen closed at 20.00 so we’re really up against it as my partner usually likes to take his time perusing the menu. However, we’ve eaten here before and so it was an easy pick. Atmosphere is the best in Keswick. Never fail to enjoy the relaxed vibe in here. I can’t put my finger on it, but the Dog and Gun has got it, whatever ‘it’ is! Lovely pint of something hazy (he can’t remember) and a Sauvignon Blanc for me. Food. His steak and ale pie with chips and veg looked lovely and by all accounts tasted yummy, nice pastry and good gravy. My halloumi strips on Greek flatbread was a little disappointing. Halloumi was excellent, fries were crispy and dine to perfection. The issue was with the flatbread, I always toast mine, but this one came pale and not warm. There was also a sweet chilli sauce that I wasn’t expecting. Maybe tzatziki as a side? But that aside, we’ll always eat here. It’s the best pub in town!”
