Station pub, quite welcoming (especially from the harsh Cumbrian weather outside) with a reasonable selection of ales that went down well.

No real cider. A welcoming house with lots of railwayana (inc.being the only pub I have ever seen selling Thomas the tank engine books) with part of the pub rigged out to resemble an old-fashioned corridor compartment coach.

Had Ennerdale Best (think is from Whitehaven) - it was very nice. Also had the Ennerdale Stout on and others as well incl. Jennings Cumberland and Theakstons Old Peculiar and Black Sheep. Wish I could have stayed longer - worth a visit for the Ale.

Popped for a quick one before alighting the delightful little R&E train next door. 4 Real Ales on, but only had time for one. Had one of their burgers which was skinny and definitely not homemade! Had a couple of VERY pleasant Ales at The Holly House Hotel on the estuary earlier though! (not listed yet, but well worth a visit)

This pub is in what used to be the station itself and has some nice railway stuff inside. Food is good, and so is the beer - 3 real ales in winter and several guests in summer, when it gets pretty busy, but there is plenty of room inside and out. Over the railway line (footbridge) is the La'al Ratty - the local name for the narrow gauge, Ravenglass & Eskdale Steam railway, its museum, cafe, visitor shop, a kids playground and nearby is Muncaster Castle and a Roman ruin.
