This 16th-century coaching inn (the tap house for the on-site Coniston Brewing Company) serves good food in traditional comfortable surroundings. The six regular beers are supplemented by up to three other beers from the brewery on a rotation basis. Try a tasting paddle! The spacious bar and lounge (which close at 10:30pm in winter) are always well frequented by tourists in this hugely popular area. The outside seating area is perfect for the summer months, in a spectacular location near Coniston Old Man. Dogs not allowed in restaurant. Please note that payment is by card only (no cash).
