This traditional village inn, in the village square within five minutes walk of the famous Priory and racecourse is a firm favourite with locals and tourists alike. The meals, prepared with local ingredients, decor and atmosphere are all excellent. A welcoming log fire and oak beams (some so low as to carry headroom warnings) give a rustic appeal. The extensive enclosed riverside garden at the rear is an attraction for families.
As with the cask lines, the keg taps serve local beers from (e.g.) Fell and Lakes Brew
