Wainwright, Keswick

About us

The Wainwright is a traditional pub on Lake Road in Keswick town centre. We refurbished the old 'Four In Hand' over the Winter of 2014/15 and opened at the end of April 2015. We hope to provide a relaxing atmosphere for the casual tourist as well as the committed user of the Fells.

We are proud to provide up to eight real ales, all from Cumbrian breweries.

Our dedication to Cumbrian real ales was rewarded recently by our selection as runner up in the West Cumbria branch of CAMRA (Campaign for Real Ale) Pub of The Year 2016 award.

Independently owned with up to 7 Cumbrian cask ales pouring plus another two from further afield. 10% discount for CAMRA members if you remember to ask. Plenty of AW memorabilia on the walls if interested?

Best pub ever!!!! You will meet the whole life’s worth of dogs in here. Perfect for dog lovers. Food was so good! The steak was cooked for medium rare and it delivered! The chips were made freshly, so creamy. Huge cod, thinly wrapped in batter. Tried the local gin from Grasmere, so good! Nothing like bombay or hendricks - which taste a bit too alcoholic for me. That was smooth! Highly recommend.

This is a really decent, honest pub with good beer, great food and friendly staff. You can't really ask for much more.

First time here & we were pleasantly surprised. There was plenty of meat & a good selection of vegetables. The only criticism was the parsnips had been coated in black pepper which wasn't to my taste. There was also plenty of mashed & roast potatoes, plus a large Yorkshire pudding. We would return if in the area again.

Outstanding pub! What a find this was. Local ales and plenty to choose from. Dog friendly and easy to get to. The staff are wonderful and chatty with a great sense of humour. The food was phenomenal!!! Had the steak and ale pie which was just melt in the mouth. Husband has the burger and was super tasty. Had to have pudding of sticky toffee pudding with ice cream which was also amazing. Friends are travelling up here later this week and will be recommending that they stop here.
