This Pub is Closed Long Term
Village inn, on a back street, but worth seeking out. Garden with lovely views across the valley. Dates back to the 1700s, may have been a former farmhouse. The last pub in this nice sleepy village, strange to think, that once there were six or more pubs, the last one to close being the Joiners. Sports TV in back room, does not intrude on bar.
Community Owned
A community group (Punch Bowl Inn, Burton in Lonsdale Ltd a Community Benefit Society) campaigned to save the pub. A bid was submitted to the government Community Ownership Fund (COF). They also launched a share offer. In August 2024 they had raised £245,798 of a target of £275,000, the society has 342 members. In Dec 2024 they were awarded a Community Ownership Scheme grant of £300K. By Feb 2025 they had raised £298,388 with 359 shareholders.
See the society's website and Facebook page for more details.
