With Bagheera, we wanted to create something different – a place where the vibrant flavours of South India meet the relaxed charm of the Lake District.Our breakfast menu is inspired by the cafés, homes and street food stalls of South India and Keswick . Every recipe has been thoughtfully adapted for Keswick, using quality local ingredients and aromatic South Indian spices that are rich in flavour, not heat.Whether you're setting off for a day on the fells, exploring the town, or simply enjoying a leisurely brunch with friends, we hope you'll discover something new and delicious.From our family to yours, welcome to Bagheera.George & Meera

    We had an absolutely outstanding meal here and couldn’t have been more impressed. The food was beautifully presented, full of flavour, and every dish was clearly prepared with great care and attention to detail. The restaurant itself is lovely, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere, and the service was friendly, attentive, and professional throughout. It was a wonderful experience from start to finish, and we thoroughly enjoyed every moment. We’ll definitely be returning and would happily recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a fantastic meal and a lovely dining experience.
