About

The Wainwright is a traditional, dog‑friendly pub nestled in the heart of Keswick on Lake Road. Refurbished in 2015 from the former Four In Hand, it offers a relaxed atmosphere for casual tourists and dedicated walkers alike. The pub boasts an impressive selection of up to eight real ales, all sourced from local Cumbrian brewers, making it a favourite among beer enthusiasts. In recognition of its commitment to quality, The Wainwright earned the CAMRA West Cumbria Branch “Pub of the Year” runner‑up award in 2016 and was honoured with the Great Outdoors magazine UK Pub of the Year silver award in 2020. With oak flooring, friendly staff, and frequent TV broadcasts of fell‑walking events, it remains a popular gathering spot for both locals and visitors exploring the Lake District.
