Kings Head Hotel, Keswick 20-03-2015

[Lonewolf]

Yep, that Kings Head Hotel in Keswick.  The venue for our annual meet.


I had a ride up  to Keswick today to suss the place out, very nice it is too. I even saw a GTR just outside Keswick at about half past one, was it anyone on here? Dark coloured, two up, heading out of Keswick.


Here's a few pics of my ride out today, the first one isn't that far from Keswick as you approach it from Windermere side. 







Same location, but with a far more interesting object in the foreground. 







One of our two venues.












Some interior shots.














Dogs are very welcome. Is anyone fetching their dog? Richard might I suppose if he heads up on his trike.







A lovely, jubbly, Cumberland sausage & mash.

















This'll be Charlies empty glass of red wine. 









Plenty of outdoor seating in case the weather holds out for us.









A decent level, tarmac car-park and an overflow car-park to the side which is gravel.














Scenic views to the rear.









The restaurant. Very posh, although it reminds me of Asif's dining room. 









The reception area.









A small shop within the pub area no doubt selling locally sourced products.









Stopped off at Windermere on the way home.









And then stopped off at Kirby Lonsdale also.









Still a very good turn out even at about half past three.

I thought he lived in Scotland? If it was him he needs to post something in the Spotted section.

I've ridden and driven past the Kings Head countless times, and only once stopped for a meal, which, if I remember correctly was very good

Maybe I'll come along to the gathering to say hello

I used to be a lot closer prior to our relocation Steve...but that wouldn't get in the way of a run up towards Keswick

Nice to see some people actually at Kirby Lonsdale .. the only 2 times I have been there with Steve it was deserted !!
