| Bustling on Tuesday night when I called - dominoes being played in one room, a ladies' darts match ongoing in the bar and a large table of rather posh people having a private quiz in the lounge. Obviously a popular local, with a good atmosphere. I was rather surprised to be charged £2.90 for a pint of locally brewed Jennings ordinary bitter (3.5%) which, whilst the beer was perfectly drinkable, is what I would expect to pay in central London where ales of this strength are often considerably cheaper.

| Ok, good craic. Barmaid was rude and quite dour however. jc1979 - 15 Jul 2010 22:16 |
| I bought a pint of Ennerdale Blonde here which turned out to be cloudy and tasted tart, quite unlike the pints of it I have enjoyed elsewhere. The Landlord refused to exchange it, however, on the grounds that he could not improve its condition. This was just how it was for him. It is a pity that he hadn't pointed that out when he accepted our order in the first place, however. drtimthornton - 25 Oct 2009 15:55 |
| Agree with sooty's comments. A while ago the beer was nothing special. Tried three different ales one night and all were average if that. Recently though there appears to be more effort made to look after them. Have enjoyed pints of Ennerdale Blonde and a brew from Brysons on different visits in the past few months. Which is more than enough reason to call in but this is also one of Kendal's few traditional community pubs with a friendly atmosphere and people drinking here to enjoy themselves. Food is also good and the staff friendly. If i lived closer i would certainly have this as my local. KendalQuin - 1 Sep 2009 15:19 |
| I was back in the other night and things seemed to back to normal and the beer quite good. Probably just a temporary blip. sootythebeerbear - 30 Apr 2009 20:47 |
