The Brook Inn, Cleator

What an excellent find. Was staying at the Ennerdale hotel for a week and after a couple of nights of substandard grub me and my colleague thought we'd pop out for a ruby. Stumbled upon the Brook on the way and decided to wet our whistle. The beer was so good and the food so tasty we stayed the evening and went back the next just for good measure. The barman Chris was very friendly and kept the beer really well for a perry drinker. A welcome change from some other pubs in the area who couldn't offer a less friendly welcome if you'd just had a dump on the carpet. Can't really fault it as a good English pub. Actually I can, it's 400 miles from where I live in Sussex!
