Pleasant enough, but a bit quiet at this time of year.

Well, I'm not a local....yet, but I've yet to have a bad time in this pub. I've always found the staff to be friendly and the licensee and his wife are more than welcoming. I once had a pint here, which was poured with a rather head and and landlords wife came and took it away saying "we don't do big heads like that in here" before topping it up properly. I was in there last week and the roaring fire and staff made it a very warm place indeed. The landlord knows how to keep a good pint in the John Peel and the guest beers are great. I know that some people have said they've had a disappointing time in here but I can only say that my visits here have been very enjoyable and I for one, will definitely be going back....the 'Christmas' guest ales are worth a visit alone!

Went in last few days. Rude and brusque staff. Overpriced beer , very average food. Avoid
|
Truly awful pub with little or no atmosphere. Avoid like the proverbial plague!
The staff are rude and unattentive. The alleged manager/owner even worse!
The food was OK............................just
You have been warned.

Never again. Surly owner who was VERY rude to a customer who was obviously a tourist - only interested in the locals (only about 3 of them in). We all felt quite uncomfortable in there - not made to feel welcome at all more like intruders. Owner should realise a lot of his custom comes from holidaymakers - we will never go in there again.

went into this pub june last year. lass behind the bar as miserable as sin. food ok though, as was beer.
|
This pub was a bit of a let down. Looks like a place where you may get a decent choice of beers, but despite claims about proper ale on offer only one hand pull was on. Decent pint of Theakstons though.Looks like lager and blue wicked are more their crowd.
|
Couple of decent ales on. Certainly not the best of the pubs in Bowness, but would definitely lift the standard in some parts of the country.
|
Its a wee bit tired looking but a good pint of theakstons best worked a treat
