Small to the eye, but bursting with flavour.

Welcome

It started with over-ordering.

The idea came from our own meals out: busy working lives, not much time for each other, and a habit of ordering far too much just for the ability to try different things. At home we'd have dinner parties with small, inviting, indulgent dishes, cocktails and chilled acoustic covers. We realised it wasn't just what we wanted, but what other people wanted too — so we did it in our own hometown.

The style of food is unique to Keswick — delicate and indulgent, small to the eye but bursting with flavour, so you're curious to try more than one. The menu changes regularly, and runs from red wine and honey glazed chorizo to cod wrapped in parma ham, with plenty that's gluten free, vegetarian or vegan.
