The George and Dragon, Shutford

Fantastic country pub! Enjoyed a lovely meal with friends (roast duck) followed by live music and a great selection of beers including Marstons and local Hook Norton.

Thoroughly recommend.

The Castle Inn, Kendal

This is a little out of the way but makes a welcome change to the high street pubs in Kendal. We enjoyed a relaxed Good Friday quaffing ale and sheltering from the rain.

Even one of the local's personal hygeine issues didn't cause us to move.

Heartily recommended!

The Station, Oxenholme

Once you get over the fact the Station Inn is nowhere near Oxenholme station and you have climbed up the steep road to reach it, you will be pleasantly surprised.

We came here for an excellent Easter Sunday lunch where the reasonably priced food was well above the average standard.

A thriving community spirit was clearly in evidence with a family fun day taking place in the spacious greenery adjacent to the pub.

Beers on tap included the usual lagers plus Moorhouse Blond Witch, Jennings Cumberland as well as a Dent ale.

Would heartily recommend a visit as it is easily accessibly by train from Kendal and Windermere. Also makes an excellent starting/finishing point for a walk up the nearby Helm which on a good day has views as far as Morecambe Bay which we were lucky enough to enjoy.
