Comfortable gastropub in centre of village. Its traditional black & white frontage mirrors its delightful welcoming interior. However, drinking without food is only allowed outside. Dating back nearly 300 years, it was originally called the Drovers Inn, as it stood beside a drovers road and provided rest and refreshment for drovers taking their flocks to sell at the market in Carlisle.

Historic Interest

Closed from 309.16 until 30.3.17 DPS from then Ben Queen-Fryer who took over from Mrs Patricia Hunt.
