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 Square Orange Café Bar

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!
