There is a dining room, but the lounge is more comfortable. The bitter is Hartley's . The Crown is also a hotel, with 12 bedrooms. The building is great, apart from that I don't know about the hotel side. The building is on a quiet road with tables and chairs on the terrace. Not the most beautiful pub in the world, but apleasant place to sit and have drink.

After a longer tour we stopped at the Crown Inn. An interesting pub with a very mixed audience. The…read morefood is okay to normal. We had an interesting carrot soup and the dailies special. For what reason ever we had to pay up front for everything.

Great views, even better food. It's the best place in town for way better than average pub food…read more I ordered the homemade fish cakes, which were very light and flavorful. They were served in a bed of what I'm guessing is pan fried kale. Crispy and tasty. Good selection from the local brewery as well!

The food is good and probably best value in Coniston. However the real ale is not well kept though…read morethere is a good selection. The layout is a little strange particularly with the specials board in a position where you have to stare above a table that is a bit intrusive when occupied. We found the general atmosphere a little hostile to non locals with the other halve thinking the foul language was too common a feature. Otherwise I thought it was comfortable though a little false with the what looks like an impressive cooking range not being cast iron rather pressed steel. Service was pretty good.

The 5' idiot might want to think about who he "Steps-up" to... because He'd be using the NHS to its fullest if I'd have been so inclined! Generally the food is great and I'd usually recommend! I'll be back... let's see if he even remembers? PRICK!

We stopped for a quick lunch and the food and drinks here were pretty good…read more We tried the olivers light ale and stout. Both of them were pretty smooth. I also ordered the chicken liver pate and the chef's burger. Amazing the food were pretty good. The patty in the burger was very tender and juicy. The only part I didn't like was the service. I understand they were kinda busy but still I think they could offer better service.

With it being half term it suddenly filled with families with disrespectful children & dogs. On arrival barely anyone in and not knowing the brewery ales, the landlady offered us several taters. We settled on Blackbird & Bluebird ales. Both strong but likeable. We decided to both have the Cumberland sausage with mash and green beans. The green beans where hot but barely cooked the rest was ok for a pub meal. Our overall experience was not special but nice to see lots of images of Donald Campbell & Bluebird. A very traditional Lakeland pub.

I just wanted to extend a great big thank you to all the staff at the Waterhead. Andy, Lottie,…read moreHannah, and the other three staff there. Hosting an international wedding with 60 plus guests is no small feat for this hotel. The grounds are heavenly, the food delicious, the alcohol, always flowing, the scones amazing. They made us feel at home and our wedding went beautifully. We are so happy we decided to have our wedding abroad, and it's people like this that make me want to move to England. Thank you, thank you ! P.s. The Blüthner in the hallway was lovely !! Highly recommend this venue for events, a visit or a wedding !
