| Went here for a saturday evening whilst staying up the road in Caldbeck. A real gem, just like a pub should be. Lovely selection of beers from their own brewery - tried as many as I could! Interesting things dotted about all over. There were 8 of us, and I had booked a table in the restaurant; Food and service both good, pleasant staff. Didn't want to leave, but the wife made me! pistol007 - 18 Nov 2011 13:47 |
| really nice friendly local pub far enough away from the tourist trap of the lakes, convienient timings on the 73 bus allow 3 hours here on a Saturday afternoon, enough time for trying all the ales and having a leisurely lunch. burns20 - 31 May 2011 20:00 |
| The best pub in Lakes. The roaring fire is a welcome respite to soaked walkers and makes the small bar particularly cosy. They have their own brewery on site and 5-6 Hesket Newmarket ales with Lake District themed names are always on tap - you are really spoiled for choice. Try the Grat Cockup (3% ABV), the best mild you will ever find. Perry_Mason - 26 Nov 2010 15:42 |
A not so secret gem well away from the more populated chocolate box areas of the lakes, and all the better for it. The 5 beers offered should offer something for everyone in terms, of style and taste and all in price terms - the cheapest being £2.35 and the dearest £2.75.Superb Value Real pub, real beer and real people ! This worth seeking out and worthy of a detour. Polypinmath - 18 May 2010 12:23 |
| A small traditional pub in a nice looking village near the North lakes. On our visit, they offered five hand pulled beers from the on-site Hesket Newmarket Brewery, all of which were tried, and all were very nice. Good atmosphere created by the locals. No guest ale offered, but with this range, there should be no complaints. Fantastic ! SouthYorkshireman - 17 Apr 2010 20:50 |
