going in a week-any advice on good pubs/cafes/chippies?

Old Keswickian Fish and chip shop. Right in the centre of the town, in the market square. Sit in or take away.

There are loads of other places too. You won't struggle to find anywhere.

I know people who might not be best pleased with me recommending a Wetherspoons pub, but the one in Keswick is a little different. I have been in it a couple of times and it is fascinating.

There is also a Wheeltappers and Shunters Social Club there that you may like, the locals who used to mine for jam have some great tales to tell, you can go marching with them.
