The Wainwright pub in Keswick continues to go from strength to strength under the stewardship of owners Laura O'Driscoll and Johan Pretorius, pictured here

The pub is one of six listed in Cumbria in what the Daily Mail describes as the top 100 pubs in Britain.

Judging was done by personalities from the food and drinks industry, including Tom Parker-Bowles, Raymond Blanc, Michel Roux and Prue Leith.

The Wainwright is also one of just 3 Keswick pubs to be listed in the 2025 CAMRA Good Beer Guide. Good Beer Guide entries are appraised by volunteer members of CAMRA branches throughout the country and the final allocation for a branch is decided on by membership vote at a branch meeting, in this case the West Cumbria Branch of CAMRA.

The other two Keswick listings in the 2025 GBG are the Dog and Gun and the Fox Tap bar at the Keswick Brewery
