A Greene King 'Local Hero’ pub that punches well above its weight. Visitors comment on the quality of the hospitality and the range of beers that includes Kirkby Lonsdale and Timothy Taylor in addition to the parent brews. The sheltered patio is busy throughout the year as a perch for people-gazing in the middle of the tourist maelstrom. Dogs are made as welcome as their owners by the efficient, friendly staff.

NB - reports in late November 2024 suggest that guest ales are not always available.

Information for this venue is provided by the Westmorland (Solway Sub Branch) Branch of CAMRA
