A standard, if slightly dated community pub serving real ales and junk food. Not too bad for the area.

Beware the opening times of this pub. It shows as open at 11:30 on some websites. But it doesn't actually open until midday. So I waited in the car park for half an hour. The ale selection was better than I anticipated. But all were pale ales - Allgates Tontine Tipple, Thwaites Wainwright, Salopian Lemon Dream, Atlas Wayfarer & Bristol Beer Factory 12 Apostles. Could have done with a dark beer. Seems to have a strong focus on food.

We found this pub using the Good Beer Guide years ago. We were on our way to the Lake District and didn't want to stop at a boring Little Chef on the motorway. Since this pub isn't far from it we thought we'd give it a go. We were very pleased with our decision. The home cooked food is good, the real ale is very well kept and the locals are friendly.
As a result we've been going to this pub every time we go up to the Lake district and we'll be aiming to be there tomorrow for lunch once again.

Made the mistake of turning up towards the end of the quiz evening. As a result the placed was packed, which is a great sign for a true local pub.
That said Mrs T & I found a seat and sat down to enjoy a couple of excellent local brews.
I would recommend this pub for anyone in the local area. A proper locals boozer that welcomes visitors and serves a darned good pint

ignore the last review - the Landlord is far too tight to turn the heating on, but this is a great pub where students and codgers drink together, which makes for a great atmosphere and the beer is always in tip-top nick.

Probably the best pub in the area with four real ales on tap and fast friendly service. The food is nothing special and the decco is a bit 1970s but it is ever popular with young and old. The landlord is a sneeky one - keeping the heat up all year so you drink more!!
