Originally a coaching inn, this 17th Century pub is now a community pub. It is run by a committee that includes a number of CAMRA members. Very much a drinkers’ pub, it is still inviting for families. Has three hand pumps serving a constantly changing variety of beers from many Cumbrian breweries, with the occasional guest ale sourced from elsewhere. There are usually both light and dark ales on offer.
It offers darts, dominoes and a quiz team and water jugs hanging from the low beamed ceiling. A number of special events such as cheese festivals, fizz Fridays and Guest Ale Weekends are held regularly, with details shown on the Facebook page.
Bank Holidays open 6-10pm. Limited opening hours incl. not ALL Thursdays. Check before visit.
