| Best pub chat from friendly locals out of all the pubs visited on the Inn Way to the Lake District. Completely unspoilt. Three real ales on, I went for a local Foxfields ale. And learned how much a cow costs at market. Visit blogged at http://bit.ly/2q9Asl4 Mappiman - 21 May 2017 19:57 |
| I have to agree with last reviewer. Group of us visited specifically to see the interior and only had time for one pint. Not a big range of beer but well kept and not over priced. Interior is worth seeing and worth preserving. Richard who served us has been there for eight years he said. Menu looked very interesting and he plainly gets plenty of custom from local foodies. We will go again. Please keep patronising to preserve something rather unique. What with this place and the Manor in Broughton, this area is pub heaven. pheon - 27 Jun 2011 22:19 |
| Classic unspoilt Lakeland pub, one of the few in the area on CAMRA's National Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors. Dating from the 18th century, it was an old farmhouse but has always been a hostelry of some kind. It's located in the middle of nowhere down country lanes, but is justifiably popular as it serves good pub grub in a historic environment. It consists of 4 rooms, 2 flagged and low-beamed ranges accessed by a side corridor (with some positively ancient oak-beamed walls) which are used by diners, a simply furnished bar room in much the same style for drinkers, and a more unremarkable rear room. The bar room has a long table and the ranges too are traditionally furnished. A patio at the front next to the barn offers splendid views. The beer range was limited to 2 on my visit, although 3 pumps were present. Jennings Cumberland and Ennerdale Copper. The Ennerdale was enjoyable and inexpensive for this area. The food too was excellent and whilst it plays an important part, this is far more than a restuarant with beer. You'd be advised to book in advance to eat here though as it is well-renowned. A must for anyone in the area with an interest in heritage pubs, and it is close to the excellent pubs of Broughton-in-Furness. Carlurmston - 4 Jul 2010 17:37 |
| Great food (decent prices and generous portions). Excellent atmosphere. Beer well looked after - as were we. Well worth trying to find as it is off the beaten track. Wardodger - 10 Jul 2007 14:52 |
| Superb pub! A big white farmhouse with 4 foot high ceilings and wonky walls. Locals are in evidence, making it all the more appealing, its not just some overpriced gastro pub serving tourists. Food surpassed expectations. Brilliant. (NB, limited parking). hlascelles - 11 Jul 2006 11:31 |
