Twa Dogs, Keswick

The Twa Dogs is an attractive detached local pub set on main road heading into Keswick from the South approximately 5 minutes’ walk into the town centre. Based in the stunning Lake District, Cumbria the Twa Dogs has large car park, outdoor seating including a smoking area, two trade rooms served from a single bar and 3 letting rooms.

This pub serves both locals from a drink’s perspective via teams, live sports and entertainment but also serves tourists and walkers wanting a bustling local pub atmosphere, for use of the rooms and a Marston's food offering.

The pub is taking approximately £10,000 per week however there is growth potential by developing further local links to keep the pub at the heart of the community and ensuring a well laid out plan of events to attract both locals and tourists.

The Twa Dogs would suit a couple ideally with a food background and kitchen experience. Local knowledge would be an advantage and essential is a desire to drive footfall through engaging with the local community directly and through targeted events. An eye for fantastic standards and good cost / stock controls are as must along with social media skills to market the pub effectively.
