A typical white-washed Lakeland pub overlooking the Bampton valley, situated in a small hamlet close to Haweswater. Now a Community Free House offering a very warm welcome to everyone. The 2023 refurbishment is to a high standard, with flagstone floors and open fires. Cumbrian pictures and photos fill the walls including features about the red squirrels. Open every day for beer and food as per website. Booking is recommended if eating and the kitchen may close early if there are no reservations.
Three hand pumps serve local ales with Loweswater Gold a fixture.
