One of many great pubs in keswick. Can be a little quieter than other pubs due to being hidden off the main part of town but is well worth a visit. The two bar staff on Tuesday evening were very friendly and we caught them dancing behind the bar as we walked in, very funny.😄 Returned here again some 8 months later, the pub was quite a lot busier than before which makes the pub even better.

Nice olde world pub, nice enough selection of beer. Food was excellent if you like proper unpretentious home made pub grub, my beef and ale pie and chips was very enjoyable however the only reason I dropped a star is because it could have been hotter. Service at the bar was ok service of the food was very good hence another 4 star. In conclusion we would return and we would recommend.

The Pack Horse Inn is a wonderful place to eat, drink and even get merry (if that is your want). A great selection of beers, ales, wines and Spirits and a menu with something on it for all tastes. Food and drink prices are average with most main meals costing between £14 and £18 pounds. The food is very good and portions are more than enough to satisfy your hunger. The Moroccan Tagine with Goats Cheese is amazing (although was on as a specail during our visit).

We called in on the off chance that they were still doing Sunday dinner. We just caught last settings. One of the kids wanted chicken, but there wasn't any left. The kitchen staff went and got a chicken fillet and cooked it for him. Our lass got the last beef dinner. The beef was really tender. I had the pork. It was absolutely delicious. The whole dinner was excellent. Only downfall was it needed more gravy. We had to ask for more. But don't take that away to how nice the dinner was. The pub is set back off the high street, so it was pure luck we found it. But would definitely go back. I don't often give 5 stars. But this deserves it. Ps, the fish and chips looked really nice.

Lovely cozy pub down one of the alleys off the main street in Keswick. Very clean, warm & inviting. The ale I had was nice & fruity & I had something from the early bird menu (12-2.30pm), which is quite a bit cheaper than during normal dining times. The battered chicken burger was delicious & the chips (fries for our US cousins) I think were triple cooked. Probably the best chips I've ever had. There's a restaurant upstairs, split onto two open floors but I can't comment on the food served there as I didn't have any. Staff were really nice. Over all a very good place to have a bite & a pint if you're in Keswick.
