We were really pleased with the staff and the meals we received at the inn. Matt was really polite and had a wealth of knowledge of the surrounding area. We were suggested this place from the book in our B&B which was full of positive reviews. The menu was still for spring 2022, but we enjoyed everything we saw on that and the specials board. We had a two course meal and weren't disappointed in the slightest. The food was lovely and the ales and beers brilliant. Size of the mains were medium but filling and you could add chips to all your meals for 99p. The pub was cold which I know a lot of reviews are saying, but that's the energy crisis for businesses right now. The chef was friendly and so was Matt. We will for sure be coming back, not just for the dogs either!!

Great Patterdale pub, friendly staff lots of nooks and crannies to sit in to enjoy the excellent beer. This is not your standard chain pub, it has a bit of character. This is reflected in the decor. Lots of ornaments and amusing signs to read.

Good for a nice place to chill after a day on the hill’s, staff are friendly and attentive. The food was very nice 2 days in a row. Football on the TV but we can’t blame them for Spurs loosing ???? all in all a great experience

Fantastic little pub for food and refreshments. Especially after a long hike on the fells. It’s dog friendly (they even have free dog biscuits). Staff are very friendly and polite. Definitely recommend visiting here. 10/10 for service.

Came here last year and had great pub grub (steak and ale pie was fantastic). This year they only had a very basic menu, not sure if it's changed hands...but went for the fish and chips at £15..... Received a tiny portion of cheap battered basa/pangasius fish, fried oven chips and nuked shrivelled peas....honestly the worst plate of food I've encountered in a pub for £15...they should be ashamed with it.
