The Kings Arms Hotel is a central Keswick pub and hotel where dogs are welcome inside the bar and lounge, so the whole group can settle in together after a day on the fells.
Food is served daily in those dog-friendly areas — lunch from 12pm to 3pm and dinner from 5pm to 9pm — with a menu of hearty, home-cooked dishes and a well-kept range of cask ales and whiskies. The restaurant is a separate area where dogs don't go, but the bar and lounge cover everything most walkers need. Whether you're passing through or staying over, it's a practical, no-nonsense stop in the heart of town.
Wet days in the Lake District call for exactly this kind of place: dogs in, leads off, pints poured, and a proper meal on the way. Paws and people sorted.

Dog Policy:
Dogs are welcome inside the bar and lounge — nobody has to do the pavement shuffle. The restaurant is the one area they sit out, but the bar and lounge are where the food and ale are anyway.
