Good food, friendly service and a warm welcome at this rather nice village pub. Decent range of ales, Deuchars IPA, John Smiths Cask and several others. Awesome steak and ale pie and a monster mix grill can be found here! Although not cheap, it's not extortionate either and you get what you pay for, decent portions of well cooked grub. Worth a visit if you're in the area, although wise to book on weekends as it is quite popular.

Unfriendly village 'local' with pricey food.

Called in today (Monday) and the Tim Taylor's Landlord was off - cloudy, not settled out said the landlord. Tried the Jennings Cumberland Ale - possibly the last for a while given the floods in Cockermouth this weekend. It was OK. Certainly didn't bother with the John Smiths or Bass. Food menu was a bit pricey; baguettes were nice enough. Very popular with the punters so perhaps we were unlucky with the poor beer range.

As damn near perfect a country pub as you could hope to find. Set near the village green it has a lovely welcoming open fire, and tastefully furnished bars. A regular stopping point for us on our journeys north. The staff are friendly and really know their beers, which are kept on top form. The house regular is Timothy Taylor's Landlord, which means we never sample the other beers on! On this visit these were a brew from Titanic, John Smith's Cask and a.n.other whose name escapes me for the moment. The menu is supplemented with a specials board and the food has been excellent on all our visits. Bar meals are available all days except Sundays, but we opted to eat in the restaurant this time as we were staying overnight. The Beef Byron and Pork medaillons were to die for, and you don't need a mortgage to buy a bottle of wine!
The only negative points we found were in respect of the accommodation, which is housed in a row of converted garages. The rooms could not be faulted on comfort or tasteful decoration, but where they did fall down was on noise insulation, or complete lack of it! Not only did we have to listen to the couple next door's 'in flagrante delecto' performance half the night, we were then subject to their post-coital pee-ing, farting, and poo-ing routines in glorious surround-sound!
Nonetheless, though we shall probably not stay overnight again, we shall continue to visit the pub whenever we are in the area.

Back again for the 5th time at least in as many years, and I stand by my earlier comments-for the passing visitor this is an excellent pub, with good value food, good beer, and friendly service. The Tim Taylor's Landlord was in perfect condition.
