Classic English pub, fine ales on tap, tasty grub to order, staff are helpful and atmosphere is cosy. A pub full of features, old collectibles and real personality. One of the oldest pubs in the lake district. Well worth a visit. Food is good but not outstanding. Recommended.

Although we didn't eat here,... More

We sort this old place out on a friends recommendation as a quaint place to have a drink. On entering the old world charm makes you feel right at home.
