Dining Areas
A quick lunch? Family celebrations? Casual dinner?…no matter what the occasion, we keep things very much as they should be in a pub……. super relaxed, with comfortable surroundings and a food & drink offering that leaves you feeling spoilt for choice. We have the option of dining in our bar area or main restaurant & when the Cumbrian weather permits, our courtyard & riverside garden also provide the perfect al fresco setting.
Jamie, our general manager & his fantastic team, will endeavour to look after your every need.
Our restaurant is very popular & we advise booking in advance, especially for dinner & weekends. Please note, our maximum table size is 12 guests, which have the luxury of a private dining room, although for larger group bookings, private functions or special occasions, please contact us directly to discuss possible options.
Our
Bar & Lounge
Our Bar is open all day every day, whether you are meeting up with friends, stopping off on a long journey, or using it as an excuse for a break whilst walking or cycling in the area. Join us for morning coffee, afternoon snacks, or browse through our extensive drinks list where you will find a range of local ales, soft drinks, spirits & seasonal creations to suit every taste.
Our Lounge provides the perfect place to reflect & unwind. Lose yourself in a good book, browse the menu with a pre dinner drink, sip coffee in front of the fire….(or even have a nap!) We’ve recently made the decision to no longer serve food in the lounge, so that you can experience it in complete tranquility!
