The Old Keswickian

Keswick, GB

Old Keswickian Fish and Chips Restaurant is a family-run establishment in Keswick, established over 40 years ago and still operated by the same extended family. The venue features a takeaway section downstairs and an upstairs restaurant seating up to 70, with an old-world atmosphere enhanced by ancient oak beams and a cast iron fireplace. The kitchen uses sustainably sourced, wild, organic North Atlantic cod and premium Lincolnshire potatoes, prepared with light crispy batter and served with generous portions of chips and mushy peas. Beyond traditional fish and chips, the menu offers home-made steak, ale and mushroom pies with Lakeland beef marinated in Jennings Cumberland ale, breakfast and brunch options, fresh sandwiches, soup of the day, tapas, and cocktails. Vegan and gluten-free options are plentiful and clearly marked, with careful attention to coeliac safety.
