News and information about our activities and the local area
After an exhilarating day tackling one of our outdoor adventure activities, you're bound to have worked up a sweat as well as an appetite. If you're feeling peckish after a day on the water, take a look at our pick of the best places in Keswick to grab a pizza.
The quirky Square Orange is an unexpected gem found nestled just up from Keswick's popular pedestrianised main street. Highly rated for great service and a cosy, welcoming atmosphere, their freshly made stonebaked pizzas come with a range of toppings that are often a little bit different to the usual fare. There is also a good choice of vegan options.
With a full bar serving local ales, a specialty coffee menu, and a great choice of tapas and delicious desserts combined with regular live music evenings, what's not to love? Small but perfectly formed, the café can get crowded at busy times, so expect to queue on the weekends. No need to book a table, it's first come, first served!
Visitors to Woodstone can expect a warm, friendly welcome and are made to feel like one of the family. It's a place you'll want to return to again and again. The menu boasts delicious, fresh and tasty handmade pizzas, with ingredients that include chicken and beef sourced from local Cumbrian farms. You're spoilt for choice with a huge selection of pizza toppings including favourites like Margarita and Pepperoni, and more unusual flavours such as the Malibu Wild Fire and the Bolognese. There's also a create-your-own option if you want to get creative (or are a bit particular).
Aside from pizzas, Woodstone also does succulent steaks, flame grilled burgers, and kebabs. Kids get to choose from their own menu and they even have gluten free options available too (pizzas included!). To wash down your meal, choose a tipple from the wine list or the small selection of beers.
This traditional Italian restaurant can be found right in the bustling town centre, so is super convenient if you're staying in the town. All pizzas made at Casa Bella are freshly cooked to order using local produce and Italian ingredients for that authentic taste. A word of warning – make sure you're really hungry beforehand as they serve huge portions! If you have any room left after your mains, their famous homemade gelato sundaes must be tried to be believed. A popular choice with locals and visitors alike. Book a table online or treat yourself to a yummy takeaway.
Casa Bella is a good sized restaurant so a great option even if you have a larger group (though make sure to book ahead). They also serve a range of authentic Italian food, as well as vegan, gluten free and dairy free pizzas, so you have plenty of delicious options, no matter your dietary requirements or wants.
If you're after something easy and comforting, then head to Mama Mia Pizzeria & Grill. Their website makes it easy to order online and you can have pizza either delivered to your door, or you can collect it at the shop and take away. Why not renew your energy after a day adventuring with one of their classic loaded pizzas down by the lake? Just don't forget to pop your rubbish in the bin once you're done! Mama Mia's late opening hours also mean you can satisfy those midnight munchies!
The Pocket Café Bar prides itself on three main things: live music, real ales, and homemade pizza. This independent bar is a lively scene in the centre of Keswick with regular evening events and food served throughout the day. Its pizza is top-notch with an admirable choice where you're bound to find something to tickle your tastebuds. This relaxed café is walk-ins only, so don't worry about having to book: it's a great retreat after a day exploring the area or taking on one of our outdoor adventures. They put emphasis on "a good time, not a fast time" so gather your friends or family, grab a craft beer, order your pizza, and sit back and relax.
