CAMRA Regional Pub of the Year. Must have been a tough choice - Coniston has some top boozers.
The beer here (Barngates Brewery) was very well kept.
A great visit blogged at http://bit.ly/2qTcrAT

Opposite the Black Bull this no nonsense Inn does excellent food and a nice pint of Jennings Cumberland as well as a house beer from Hawkshead. I had the steak pie;, homemade, crammed with tender beef with plenty of veg for under �10. Would rate as 6/10 for beer and 8/10 for food so overall mark is inbetween. Worth trying

After a lovely 16 mile hike over Scafell, 12 showered and re-shod hungry hikers descended on this no nonsense, clean, warm and friendly inn for good beer and hearty food to satisfy any palate (the Windermere blonde went down well � if you know what I mean) Cheers!

Has a tiny beer garden outside. Cask ale OK (Hawkshead Yewdale Bitter)

Very Quiet apart from a few sitting down to eat , not the best place in the area
|
Upmarket? You must be joking oftenscore6.
|
Popped in to eat as put off by the prices at the Bull. Very quiet. Fish and chip wasn't bad.
|
staff were quite friendly, but more of a locals pub, Lamb shank beautiful, but very pricey

a very nice pub. the staff are quite friendly. dont bother with the food though, its nothing special.
|
Most upmarket of coniston's pubs, more like a hotel bar where afternoon tea seems more likely to be served than a beer during the day. Friendly enough though, and had 3 ales on from larger breweries inc Jennings Cumberland Ale. Has a TV
