Located right in the heart of the Market Square, Ye Olde Friars has long been one of Keswick's iconic shops. Spread across four shop fronts and with over 1000 lines including chocolates, sweets, gifts and preserves, Friars is a must visit.
Reviewed By Suratrichard - Surat Thani, Thailand
There's something about Ye Olde Friars that brings out the child in me! Chocolate...bags of sweets...biscuits etc etc. I simple cannot walk past this shop and judging by the number of people inside, many other people can't resist either. The speciality chocolates are certainly on a par with the best makes around and there's all manner of things with chocolate. In addition, there are boxes of biscuits, jams, pickles and of course the famous Cumberland rum butter. Well, it's only once a year and the diet can wait just a few more days! Get in there and be a kid again!

Fishers is one of the few constant features of Keswick retail. I I used to go with mum and dad in the 60'S and can still fell some of the same atmosphere it had back then. They do things well, even though that comes at a price. They have an excellent , well presented range with good size distribution. The assistants know what they're talking about and are not all "saturday staff." The cafe was pretty good but its some time since I went. The ski dept. looks impressive but I dont ski so... Price is an issue though. I think much of the offer is cheaper in Keswick elsewhere and if you internet shop then there is not much of a comparison. However, if you value service and tradition then Fisher's is very able to supply that in spades.

I fell in love at first sight! We bought one small herdy in another shop, then a couple of day's later went to the Keswick shop and spent too much on more Herdy goodies! You can't help but smile whilst in the shop, it's bright, colourful and well stocked with lovely helpful staff.
