This new bar, the second tap room for Lakes Brew, is in the fully restored and refurbished historic 18th century Old Mill, which has traditional features such as an 'overshot' water wheel (now disused)and a riverside garden. There is traditional tap room bench seating, with some chairs, inside and further bench seating in the garden alongside Stock Ghyll. The background music is matched to the clientele.

A street food style menu is provided by local company Toast, with their kitchen and counter conveniently next to the bar.

With up to three cask lines, up to ten keg lines and a fridge full of cans, the wide choice of beer styles from this innovative brewery should please everyone. Currently card only (no cash).
