| From the outside it does'nt look that special but inside is a different story. Lovely smell of a wood burning stove and a cosy interior. Ale was good too. I have know idea how this place would survive the winter very remote and many people must never find this place. 9/10 montie49 - 12 Dec 2011 07:53 |
| A great little pub set in one of the most beautiful settings. The East Lun river babbling away next to the beer garden is the almost perfect place to sup a pint of the locally sourced ales, all gravity fed from 3 casks behind the bar. I know this can sometimes leave the beer slightly lifeless, but all three were exceptionally kept and in top notch condition! The food as well is divine. I didn't try the soup (Mixed reviews on here...) but the lamb shanks were some of the best I had eaten. You could tell these were home made with a fantastic rich gravy. Obviously been slow cooked for quite some time as the meat just fell off the bone! Marvellous!!! Didn't stay in the Rockford (they were full and I was only hiking though the village, or hamlet even) but the little snippets of conversation really made me want to have a look at the rooms. Customers were saying they had just been renovated and were now absolutely amazing. And I went back to a tent... Ho Hum!! And it was doog friendly when we went, which is great!!! And it's only an 9 out of 10 as the garden is a bit small. All in all this pub is one of the best 'out-of-the-way' finds you will probably ever get so I would recommend giving int a try!!!

| nice, quiet, no mobile phone signal, and, when we visited, one of the stand-out pints we'd had in years - flat as a witches' tit, with tiny fleks of yeast in the bottom - mmmmmm! rioathmusV - 16 Feb 2011 20:09 |

| Stumbled across this old pub. Very quaint in the middle of nowhere. Really in the middle of NO where! If you like isolation you'll love this place. Arrived via the scariest steep country lane coming off the moor. Log fires blazing very welcoming as were the two lovely ladies who run it. Strong smell of wood smoke. Local Ales from Cotleigh and Clearwater breweries poured direct from cask behind bar, very nice to see such well kept beer. We wanted to stay the night but they were full in the accommodation. Stayed for a meal, very hearty portions. Atmosphere was a little quiet as not too many people in bar, but given how remote this place it wasn't surprising. The countryside is very beautiful and the pub is in a wooded valley by a river with waterfalls. Idyllic. upmejacksie - 30 Oct 2010 18:35 |
