The Wasdale Head Inn, Wasdale Head

i visited the pub after a hard day on scafell pike and was chuffed to stumblle upon 'camra pub of the year 2006' our so i thought....
the beer of choice was from there own micro brewery and it was pish, tasteless and smelt off, i commented to the barman on the quality of the beer and he started to argue the toss but then admitted he only drinks larger and doesnt know one ale from another! the price of a pint also took the mick �2.90 for a beer that is only brewed in the barn next door.
the toilets were another sore point..... no bog roll, doors not locking, toilet unit not even fastened to the floor (almost toppled over) the list goes on....

what should be a great lakeland boozer with its own berwery was real disapointment and how it ever was nominated for a camra award amazes me.

on a final point, do you have to be eastern european to work in a pub in the lakes?
