The Bank Tavern

Absolutely loved this pub. Proper pub atmosphere, great selection of drinks. The food was fantastic - nothing fancy, just good pub food done very well and very reasonably priced. We had dinner twice here on our stay in the area. A real gem.

Great pub,dog friendly,top quality food,i would give 10 stars if there was this choice. I had the lamb and mint pie my son had the lamb shoulder,the meat fell off the bone and the lamb in the pie was cooked to perfection and plenty of it . Best of all no gimmicks (chips in buckets,or little fry baskets ) and proper gravy not out of a gravy granuel tub . staff are warm and welcoming and great, lots of people with full tummy's and happy sleepy dogs.

The four of us wanted a Sunday roast. Reviews of The Bank Tavern looked ideal. There was a choice of lamb or beef, unfortunately we chose beef. The Yorkshire pudding, vegetables and the roast potato were fine but the beef was as tough as old boots. We were offered serrated knives to cut the beef but needed serrated teeth to chew it!! The plates weren’t warm so the meal got cold very quickly. So disappointing!!

Totally GREAT LOCAL ENGLISH PUB.... So fun...mint lamb shoulder meal was so good...so much to eat..nice folks at next table...

Friendly staff good food and good service. Me and the gf had the steak and ale pie with veg and potatoes and was really nice. Didn't have to wait long at all. We then had sticky toffee pudding with custard each and that was also lovely. Hit a jug of custard each. The funny thing is when we walked past the entrance the next day out springer tried pulling us back into the place. Dogs aren't allowed on the carpeted area as a rule but are allowed everywhere else. We was luck because our table was on the tiled area near the beer garden door. Would eat there again.

I have really enjoyed visiting The Bank Tavern on both my visits to Keswick this year. In May i dined here twice with friends and i was so impressed with it i came back again whilst in town, with my partner in September There is lots to choose from between the menu and the specials board and I've not struggled at all to find something different and delicious on each of my 3 visits. My partner has a vegan and gluten free diet and she had no issues finding options that she could eat too. Food is very tasty and comes in decent sized portions at a very reasonable cost. There's a nice, warm atmosphere in The Bank Tavern and the staff have always been nice and friendly. Oh, cracking pint of Guiness too. Definitely recommend 👌

Went in for Sunday Lunch/Dinner. The head honcho behind the bar is a splendid chap, supported by staff operating at the highest level. While the beer selection is the usual Keswick standard (low) there were a couple of beverages that proved adequate and better than the other pubs in the town. The food however was on another level: quickly served, piping hot, and truly delicious. Go here to eat and you will be satiated.

It was busy Saturdays lunch time. When we entered the pub, no waiter paid any attention to us. We wanted to know if there was a free table. One table was free. We ordered fish and chips. Once ordered at the bar not long to wait until cooked. The portions were too huge. One portion would be enough for two. The food was very delicious! The mushy peas was very tasty. But I'm not sure if would like to come again.
