There's a good range of Jennings beer on draught Sneck Lifter and Cocker Hoop among them and the service was swift and friendly during my visit. If you plan to eat, make sure you bring an appetite the menu promises MIGHTY BIG lasagne and LARGE Yorkshire pudding (filled with beef and stew or Cumberland sausage) and it doesn't disappoint.

This place clearly was an old coaching inn and you can really sense the history and age of the place.

Well worth a stop en route to Keswick!

Relax here, the staff is ready to make this luxury even better with whatever you need! Directions to many local hikes or hot coffee on the picnic tables. So much fun to have, there are gardens, strolls, patios and quiet libraries too. This is the most beautiful place I've ever stayed because I can get some rest, unwind and enjoy the great outdoors. Yesterday there was a local marathon- yes!- great runners charged past into the local town of Ambleside. Hikers and dog lovers are here too. National parks close by... what a get-away we are having!!

Brunch, lunch, dinner, and bar snacks are served at the Drunken Duck, and I'd only really recommend booking for dinner. The beer and cider are mostly local I believe. We did the curry bowl to share (vegetarian and VERY tasty - kind of wish I could get the recipe), scampi, fries, and tartare sauce (those fries are to die for!) and the lamb kofta, hummus, flatbread, and mint yoghurt (great for sharing and noshing). There's plenty of parking on the side of the inn. The inside is decorated beautifully (very insta-worthy), so maybe consider renting out for an event. And yes, you can bring your dog to dinner/drinks.

Many pub/restaurants that I have been in are very similar in the atmosphere and style, but the pub was a pub and the restuarant was a restuarant. The pub was small and crowded with seating in two rooms. The bar area was spacious leading me to believe many people must hang out in that area on a really busy night. The resturant seemed proper although from my understanding the food served was the same regardless of where you sat. We went to the restuarant side and enjoyed some good food. I ordered bangers and mash because the Cumberland sausage is famous in that area. (Interesting shape of the bangers.) My wife ordered the fish with new potatoes which she said was very good. The meal was so large we could not go for dessert.

As we walked inside we found the right space was packed with locals at the end of the working day. The cask ales (a variety of yummy local brews) came quickly as did our meals. The fish and chips were big and hearty as was the chicken fillet my brother ordered. I noticed that a young lady near us seemed to have some piece of more gourmet fare. This was just the experience we were hoping to find: busy and unpretentious (although the wifi password was painted in handsome script above a doorway). If we didn't have to get back on the trail we'd probably come back another day.
