Quick info
About Old Keswickian Fish & Chips Restaurant
Old Keswickian Fish & Chips Restaurant is a fish and chips takeaway at 5-7 Market Square in Keswick town centre. Upstairs, a separate restaurant seats diners under exposed ceiling beams, so eating in is an option apart from the takeaway. The menu centres on fish and chips, with scampi and chips as another choice, and gravy and peas come alongside the chips. Sausage and soup are also on the menu for those who want something different from the fish.

Customer Review Summary
The negatives are specific and fairly frequent. Critics describe soggy batter on thin fish, greasy chips, tasteless sausage, extremely lumpy gravy and tiny portions. Another found the takeaway chips small and hard. One regular calls the kitchen a little inconsistent, and one reviewer who remembered it as among the best years ago now rates it the worst. One order arrived wrong with food missing, and the reviewer also objected to not being allowed to add their own salt and vinegar.

“Chips okay like a roast tatty. Unidentifiable thin fish with soggy batter. Not allowed do own salt&vinegar. 15year ago they were one of best ever had but today they worst”

“A regular visit whenever I'm in Keswick. Can be a little inconsistent, but the quality of the fish and chips is far above what I can get locally!”
- Irma
“Crispy fish and chips, delicious gravy and peas. Seating upstairs was warm and cozy on a rainy, chilly October evening. Staff friendly and service efficient. Prices very reasonable.”
- Alex Bassett
“Best fish and chips I’ve tasted, friendly service, lovely to be tucked up away from all the hussle and bustle of the very lovely Keswick town centre”
- thomas gregory
“If I could give a zero I would. As soon as I walked in they were messing around playing hide and seek for a can. Got the order wrong and food is missing. Will not be going there ever again. Extremely disappointed”
