The Wainwright, Keswick

The flat roof of the extension to the building suggests that it's a modern addition, and more evidence is found inside where a fireplace has been installed in an outside wall with a window, rather than a chimney, above it. All the wood panelling and stained glass is, I would guess, modern too. It was very quiet for my visit on a Sunday night in January - I was the only customer. Of the five hand pumps on the bar, only one had an ale on: Marstons Double Drop, an undistinguished pint at the best of times, and this one was nothing to write home about. Some subdued pop music was being played, and although there were some quite interesting pictures on the walls, mostly featuring horses, they were not so interesting that I would go out of my way to come here again.
