Oddfellows Arms, Caldbeck

Not a bad village pub, if lacking the magic of some of the great pubs in this part of the world. Jennings bitter and Cumberland on, which were both good. Food not bad either, and restaurant was surprisingly busy on a November Sunday evening, but fortunately plenty of room, as the pub is bigger than it seems from outside.

The Old Crown, Hesket Newmarket

Went here for a saturday evening whilst staying up the road in Caldbeck. A real gem, just like a pub should be. Lovely selection of beers from their own brewery - tried as many as I could! Interesting things dotted about all over. There were 8 of us, and I had booked a table in the restaurant; Food and service both good, pleasant staff. Didn't want to leave, but the wife made me!
