Courtyard And Brasserie - Allerdale

The brasserie was ok, the food and drinks were very expensive, £47 for a beef baguette, pizza, a side of chips 2 drinks. !

I was treating the office staff of KTC where I was a councilor for many years. As of course it was a working day for them we were not in a huge rush but time was a factor, There was another couple of tables plus us so the restaurant was not busy. we ordered our drinks and food. I club sandwich. 1 soup. 1 pizza, and 1 salad. 65 minutes later the food arrived The waitress was very sweet and apologetic and even took a group photo for us. the food was ok except for the pizza which had a nicely scorched crust. . although we enjoyed ourselves. it was disappointing that a major hotel in Keswick was not better prepared for customers .I hate to think how long we would have had to wait for our food if the restaurant had been busy

Booked for bistro . On arrival was ushered into a room that looked like a badly decorated 1950s B and B. and was obviously not the bistro. No-one seemed aware that we had booked and the place was empty and devoid of any atmosphere. Menu was limited and not as advertised on the website. 80s/90s pop music was continuously blaring on the speakers. Having been reccomended I will not be returning.

Portions were huge! Maybe we shouldn’t have eaten as much but couldn’t fit in a dessert. The food was well presented and tasty. Two members of the party had upset stomachs later in the day and this was the only meal eaten. Worth it though.

Service was slow, but that’s probably as they were understaffed, we were on a spa day so treats all the way! Prawn salad sandwiches there huge! Fish chips burger, apparently the onion rings were lush, huge portions, could be really great!
