We arrived in Keswick checked in our b and b then booked a taxi to take us to dine-on arrival we found the bistro in darkness with a note on the door- closed due to unforseen circumstances!!!!! Not the way to run a business!!! We would have completely understood had someone called us to cancel and give us time to book elsewhere-will not book here again if this is how they treat customers-whats the food and service like???"

It was closed, we had no notification to say so, really poor experience that we were not contacted after driving for 2 hours to be there!!!

The restaurant was closed when we arrived, despite having made two reservations. We believe it would have been helpful if we had received prior notification of the closure.

They were CLOSED! didn't even bother to notify us we have a 3 year old son and had to go wondering around keswick to find another place to eat. Absolute no reward for their customers View menu

Check open before booking! Restaurant took our booking despite having being closed for a number of weeks, we called ahead and not even a message on the answer machine to inform us. Left wandering around Keswick on a busy Friday night with elderly parents unable to find anywhere to eat.

We arrived at the restaurant and found it closed unexpectedly, with a note on the door. While we understand that these things happen, a notification via text or email would have been greatly appreciated, especially since it was New Year's Day and there were no other available reservations at that time.

We arrived on time and the establishment was completely closed. They did not have the courtesy to notify us in advance. In the small Keswick community at 8:15PM we had no similar alternative dining option. We had just driven almost five hours from Southern England. Being from the US we were unfamiliar with the area, tired, so retired without dinner. Beyond disappointed. View menu

I booked this table on the 22 Sept for Wed 20 Oct and despite getting a reminder email the previous day I was advised by the bar person in the Bank Bar that The Bar and Grill was closed. This caused us a problem for somewhere to eat as most places were fully booked While I appreciate the current situation regarding the hire of staff I think if you could have advised customes who had booked on line of the closure

Very poor experience. We booked in October and were looking forward to an evening with friends. Recieved the text confirmation the day before. Arrived at the restaurant only to find it in darkness with a note on the door. Appalling customer service as we found out that the restaurant had be shut for a number of weeks. Whilst a text saying the venue was closed would have been disappointing, it would have allowed us to book an alternative.

"Location, service and food were good. Problem was that of the 7 of us that dined there on Saturday night, 6 were vomiting by the next morning. Not been this ill in 20 years, and just recovering 24hrs later. The common denominator was maybe the olives to start. Real shame as it’s a lovely place with good service and food. I’ve got to question the hygiene practices after such an experience as I’ve been fortunate to never have had gastroenteritis in the UK, as I’m usually very careful. The added irony is that I’m a Gastroenterologist."

"We visited this restaurant for an evening meal to celebrate our 7th wedding anniversary. The food was good, and this was our second time dining here. We both enjoyed three courses and coffee, with only a little alcohol, and the total bill came to £100 for two. I found that a bit pricey for what we had, but it is what it is. The staff were very friendly, and our meals were served promptly without making us feel rushed. I believe you would leave satisfied if you decided to visit. Well done, Ivy House!"

"I went into this cafe, I didn’t read the sign saying vegan as we were in a rush and dying for some coffee after a bike ride. The initial welcoming was nice and the man at the till asked if oat milk would be okay....Like I said I didn’t realise it was vegan so I asked for ‘normal milk’. To which I got some lady on a table rudely say to me ‘it’s cow juice’ not normal milk, to which the staff all joined in. I wasn’t there to get a judgement of my life choices. I immediately felt uncomfortable and left. On my way out, I’m assuming the lady on the table was a regular said ‘you’d think they sell breast milk to huh’. I couldn’t believe my ears. I know people have strong feelings about the vegan lifestyle but I made a mistake going in this coffee shop. To all NORMAL MILK DRINKERS, you’ll be harassed by vegan activists in here, would avoid at all cost! I’d of be up for trying an oat milk latè, if the atmosphere wasn’t so appalling. Considering you are in a part of the world where farming has been a big part of history and culture, you deserve the reputation that people give you as being ‘vegan’. Up tight and just rude."

"Dined here after reading reviews on HC. Friendly service and bespoke vegan menu. I had the enchilada which was ok after a long day walking. But could do with more filling. Also ordered the potatas bravas, expecting a traditional dish. Instead was just fried chunks of potatoes covered in ketchup and mayo. Hence, a drop in star rating. Overall thought it was overrated.

"Busy, busy pub, shame it's not twice the size. We visited the pub on a couple of occasions, the first time it was packed and looked like it would be a long wait for a table so we left and went elsewhere. We returned the following night but a little bit earlier, it was still very busy and all the tables were taken. We decided to have a drink ad wait for a table, which was about 15 minutes. SERVICE: Very polite and friendly staff who were all very busy but still engaged with the customers. Very efficient. FOOD: We ordered the Goulash and Pie. Both were very tasty and enjoyable, we would order the same again. A staff member checked to make sure that everything was ok a few minutes after receiving our meals. DRINKS: Good choice of beers (ales) and spirits. ATMOSPHERE: Lovely vibe, the place is alive with chatting and plenty of friendly dogs. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and look forward to visiting again."
