“ Great music, decent beer and fabulous food. We went for the the early bird meal which was very goood value. Portion sizes are generous (we only managed two courses) and very tasty. There are a good range of beers to complement the food. Well worth a walk amongst the lakes. ”
“ Words are inadequate. Gareth gave us friendly and excellent service. He made us feel completely welcome and poured a perfect pint. The chef is a genius, and the atmosphere is lovely. The fish cakes from the bargain early bird menu are perfectly seasoned all fish; no fillers except the perfectly crispy crust. The mussels and caper sauce divine. My husband had the cheeseburger and charcuterie also from the early bird menu and said it was delicious. We've been traveling around the UK for 6 weeks and this is the best meal we have had so far. ”
