The Black Bull Hotel, Coniston
Was looking forward to visiting this pub, as have admired the beers. But have to agree with previous comments. Pub doesn't seem supported by locals. It lacks atmosphere. The service is nothing special. The beers are in excellent condition and the full range of Coniston beers is a fine selection. The food was really poor. Had a lamb hotpot that was burnt and swimming in oil. Swiftly moved on to the Sun Hotel, much friendlier.

First visit to this pub. Good welcome. Had 2 real ales, Hawkshead Lakeland Gold and the local Corby Ale. Both went down a treat. Had the sunday lunch, not the cheapest in the area, but good quality and service. Definitely worth a visit.

Excellent selection of Loch Fyne ales. 3 hand pulled beers on, all well kept and worth sampling. Food average pub fare. Friendly welcome. Definitely recommend calling in if in the area.

Particularly enjoyed the Nimbus.
A must if you are in Fort William

Superb pint of Tim Taylors Landlord.
Great view from the beer garden. Situated on Hadrians Wall path.
Highly recommended.
