Refurbished in January 2025, the Grasmere brewery tap is a youthful addition to the tourist buzz and offers interesting house craft beers (one on cask, with their IPA and lager on keg), scrumpy and fruit ciders including the delicious rhubarb.

There's fun for all the family with live sport, tasty food - starting with hearty breakfasts (served from 9.30-10.30) - good coffee and cakes, light bites and evening meals. Special Sunday roasts.

The extensive outdoor seating has river Rothay views and dogs are welcome. Live music on Saturday. Accommodation at the nearby brewery.

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