| CAMRA discount much reduced on a visit in August and yesterday I was informed that "we don't do it any more". However, a nice pint of Hawkshead Red for £2.05 still seemed a worthwhile purchase and it was a handy place to avoid a heavy shower of hail. Stamfordian - 7 Oct 2011 12:06 |

| Pretty good for a Wetherspoons, only the second one where I have observed an orderly queue to be served (the other is in Carlisle, so maybe Cumbrians have better manners than most). Beer fine, a selection of mainly local ales which when I called were in pretty good condition. A nice touch is that CAMRA members can get a pint of any of the 4 guest ales for £1.50. The Lancashire hotpot was OK, with large chunks of what appeared to be "proper" mutton rather than lamb. On the downside, it does seem to be pretty much used as a creche by the professionally unemployed - yesterday lunchtime there were more babies than I've ever seen in a pub before, but at least they were all upstairs.

| If you've ever been in a 'Spoons then you'll know what to expect here. I don't bother with the food anymore but the beer is usually kept fairly well. Seem to have Coniston Bluebird on as a regular now and the recent beer festival was worth visiting a few times. Every now and then one or two of the beers are spot on and a few pints turns into a few more. Staff are very friendly but not usually enough of them on at any one time. Once waited 15 minutes to get served and have on occasions gone in and walked straight back out having seen the length of the queue and the scrum by the bar. KendalQuin - 24 Nov 2009 22:19 |
