| Recently visited on a Saturday lunchtime. Very busy but staff are very efficient and you don't have to wait to long to be served. Excellent choice of local real ales of which we tried all but the Old Peculiar. All were very good indeed. Food was great. I had the large goulash which comes with a galic baguette and would challenge the largest of appetites. The family next to us were completely thrown by the fact that the pub doesn't serve chips! The only gripe is that while very dog friendy the pub isn't quite so child friendly as children can only come in if eating. Dogs however can come in and take up space without eating or drinking, so I've docked it a couple of points. It is however a fantastic pub well worth visiting. villagefamily - 16 Apr 2012 15:14 |
| Visited for the third time last Saturday afternoon and it was busy as usual. Great friendly atmosphere and good service. Had a pint of Landlords Choice and it was wonderful. Even managed to purchase a goody bag for my dog at the bar. LordCarson - 8 Feb 2012 18:09 |
| No wonder that this pub is so busy. Excellent array of ales on offer. The Landlords Choice was the best pint that I have had in a while. Dog friendly, beer friendly, people friendly, eating friendly. Owners that drone on about the smoking ban crippling their trade should have a look at this place. On a dark, rainy Thursday afternoon, this place was full up, while other nearby pubs only had the TV for company. FARUPNORTH - 21 Nov 2011 12:41 |
| Good atmosphere and friendly staff. I tried their session beer (Keswick brewery) was was OK- not exceptional. My wife had the "famous" goulash which she reported most certainly was exceptional. And amazing value too. She ate the small one which was a decent helping at £5- most others went for the huge one. I had a courgette bake which was OK. The pub is (over) crowded and it's worth getting there early (before 7.30) if you want a table 6speed - 19 Oct 2011 20:20 |
| As regular visitors to Keswick we have to agree that the D&G is still top dog (ha ha) in town. Yes the beer is great and yes the goulash is magnificent - every time. By promoting itself, and playing up to it's name, as the most dog-friendly pub in town, the D&G have created a really special, friendly, warm 'old times' pub atmosphere. It is almost invariably full and yes, you'll be lucky to find a free table as soon as you arrive. The trick however is to step outside of your hurried modern-day mindset for a while, and treat a 30-minute wait at the bar as an opportunity to unwind in a real pub environment, not an irritation to be endured. Don't change a thing! Cjexpat - 25 Sep 2011 11:40 |
