Review Ivy House - Braithwaite

The ambience of the restaurant was lovely but lacked a bit of atmosphere with only a couple of tables used midweek before Christmas. We had a lovely meal with dishes that you couldn't get elsewhere. I had a wonderful curried haddock, sweetcorn and potato chowder, and others had venison and juniper casserole, which they raved about for ages. Excellent cheese platter as well! Shames cider and beers weren't small brewery or local

A pleasant meal. Service was exceptional but lacked a little atmosphere. Food was good but it felt a tad pricey. Nice place but not sure I would rush back. Best thing by far was the service. Friendly and attentive.

The food tasted great and was well presented - our steak mains were one of the best we've had. The staff were very friendly and attentive. We will return - highly reccomend!

Absolutely delicious food. An eclectic mixture of ingredients that worked really well together. We booked this quite last minute on our way back to the hotel and we’re thrilled with our choice. Also had a good kid’s menu.

Had a wonderful evening meal with family. Small dining area with limited tables but nice atmosphere and decorations. Food was really tasty and service quick. Would cone back again.

Excellent food and service. Would heartily recommend.

Restaurant and building was immaculately presented and finished to a high quality. Beautifuly presented food that was cooked perfectly, fab drinks choice and friendly staff! Didn't realise you could also stay there!! A must visit when I the area!

Small privately owned restaurant serving delicious well-presented food. Owner and staff are friendly and very efficient. Great to be back in a restaurant but they are still following Covid recommendations so felt safe and tables a nice distance apart. This is such a lovely way to support local businesses and so pleased to see it has survived. Would give it 6 stars if I could!

We had an amazing anniversary dinner here! Every detail of the food was delicious and we were very well looked after. The décor is cosy yet comfortable. The wine was great, too. A real gem in the heart of the Lakes - well worth hunting down!

Lovely food and friendly professional service in pleasant setting. Evening meal slightly better than breakfast, but both very good.

Had dinner here recently. Food was brilliant. Had the cheek for starters and duck for mains. For the price and setting this was perfectly aligned. Cocktails were also great. Note the opening times (5.30-8.30) only mean last orders at 8.30!

Excellent room furnishings and cleanliness. Whole experience in the restaurant was very pleasant, food quality was v/good.

We really enjoyed the lamb and duck mains, as well as rhubarb crumble

Being good Friday it has to be fish and chips beautifully cooked light batter fresh fish

Had a wonderful family meal to celebrate a birthday. The food was lovely and the staff are very friendly and welcoming. Ivy House is highly recommended and a hidden gem on the outskirts of Keswick.

What a wonderful restaurant! The food, decor, ambience and staff all 5 out of 5 stars! We had the goat cheese & pear starter which was mouthwatering (see photo) and haddock and chips which was crisp, light and tasty! Would definitely return and highly recommend!

Excellent vegan options and great service.

What a fantastic restaurant. Great to come to the lakes and not have to pay over the odds for sausage and chips. Gourmet food just 10% more than local pub grub. Recommend the haggis and pig cheek.

We had a lovely meal here on 1.6.23. All our dishes were delicious, the staff were efficient and friendly. The atmosphere was gentle and relaxing, making it a special evening out. We will be returning. Thank you Ivy House.
