Brossen Steakhouse

Such a deceiving place, because it's a part of an inn. But don't let that fool you because the food is absolutely worth it. I've never tried a Yorkshire pudding this balanced. The Sunday roast is so underrated. It's the best experience I've ever had. From the sauces the the gravy, the gravy was just so well put together. And any one of the sauces was just so top tier. I just had no idea something like this could have so much flavour packed in. Whoever says british food is bad needs to come here and be proven wrong. Even their starters are so underrated. And completely changed my mind of what a scotch egg was. And to top it all off, the sticky date pudding not too sweet, balanced just right. Has a unique burnt flavour that complements the Bischoff so well Worth coming to Keswick just for this place! 10/10

We came in here for my mum’s birthday. The atmosphere and service was good, the food was really nice. The steaks were cooked well, the Korean chicken burger, lamb, and fish were also cooked well. The sticky toffee pudding was nice as well. It was worth the price. Our servers were very nice, and weren’t too intrusive.

We tried this restaurant last year and we're very impressed. Went again last week and had a fantastic meal. Very high standards, really know how to cook a steak.

Great dining experience. We had the chateaubriand steak to share and it was perfectly cooked.

A nice evening meal out. The decor and ambience of the restaurant was welcoming, light and open. You certainly felt like you were walking into a nice place. We were quickly escorted to our table and drinks ordered which came within 10 minutes. For starters we had ‘tempura’ sea food and chicken parfait. Unfortunately the batter was way to thick to be called tempura which was a shame because I ended up leaving over half the batter due to it being too thick and uncooked on the inside. I ended up taking out the shell fish. Which I will add. Was cooked beautifully. Very well cooked. Just a shame on the batter. The chicken parfait was very smooth and full of flavour with thick cut bread and sweet and tangy onion jam/marmalade. For mains we ordered 2x 10oz rib eye medium rare and 2 x 7oz fillet with 5 sides being 2 x chunky chips, ‘seasonal’ veg, onion rings (warning coming up) and creamed spinach. The steaks were delicious and cooked perfectly to our liking which were accompanied by a roasted tomato and shallot. The sauces again were very nice. Chunky chips were fluffy and crispy. The creamed spinach was amazing and had a nice thick layer of cheese on top. Now, the onion rings, came with a thin cheese (maybe Parmesan) sauce drizzled on top. Which wasn’t stated on the menu. Unfortunately my partner doesn’t like strong cheese so this was a big no for her. Big shame. The seasonal veg, isn’t what most would class as seasonal, more like steamed/boiled standard broccoli cauliflower carrots peas swimming in a shallow pool of water in the bottom of the cup. Overall, I would recommend and I would come again!

We were able to walk in for a 3 course lunch with wine at 1:30 on a Saturday without a reservation. The service was good and we enjoyed the food very much. Would recommend the soufflé starter. It was very tasty with bacon and lots of cheese. For mains, we had the Ribeye and the Brossen oak smoked rump steak, and both were cooked medium, without blood running, as requested, and was delicious. We also enjoyed a blue cheese sauce with the steaks. We had a glass of Rioja and a glass of Primativo wine. Both were full-bodied and great with the steaks. The Rioja had a more smoky taste and the Primativo a more sweet raste. We also enjoyed their blackberry and apple crumble. They played upbeat music, which was a little too loud in the beginning, but they did turn it down a bit when asked. Overall it was a bit expensive but the food and wine were very nice.

One of the best meals I've ever had! Highly recommended! We did the Salmon lollipop for a starter, the charteubriand for the main, and the sticky toffee pudding as the dessert. The salmon lollipop was perfect for sharing and was a really clever idea. The meat was super juicy, so much so, we just could not resist devouring that first then having the sides that came with it (also nice) after. The sticky toffee pudding was also delicious.

This really is a good restaurant. Have visited here several times and never had a bad meal. My starter ( scotch egg) was packed with flavour and my steak was juicy and perfectly cooked. Chunky chips were totally gorgeous. The restaurant is on the pricy end but it is worth treating yourself.
