We are optimistic that the worst of COVID is past and the coming summer will be fantastic. Let’s hope the weather is as good as last year!
We have used the lockdown to upgrade a lot of this charming building, including a big improvement to the bar rooms, re-instating the fireplace (with logburner) in the large lounge, adding some fine antique furniture..

Well that was something else! We hope everyone found a bed for the night. The snow is melting now and the road here is free flowing. We are fully open and ready to send out our fabulous Sunday roasts. Food served this lunchtime 12-3. Just turnup and we should be able to fit everyone in, in front of our lovely open fires.
Glorious winter
Posted: December 1st, 2023
Crisp frosty mornings and crystal clear blue skies are here as winter takes its grip. There's a dusting of snow on Helvellyn, and the lakes are just starting to freeze. Come for a brisk walk then warm up in our cosy bar rooms. Sit in front of the open fires with a glass of mulled wine. NEWS: we now have an ONLINE TABLE BOOKING SYSTEM, so you can make sure of your table for one of our fabulous pies and mash.
November

Cosy up in a country pub whilst the weather does its things outside. And when the storms clear the air is sparkling clean and the views are amazing. The fells have had their first dusting of snow, and the trees still have some some of their Autumnal colours. Fancy a last minute getaway? check our bookings page for some fabulous last minute prices.
Autumn's arrived
Posted: November 2nd, 2023
Thankfully the storms aren't really affecting us up here, so come and visit and see the trees with their lovely autumnal colours. The badgers are coming out anytime after about 7pm. So whilst you wait for them, make your selves comfortable with a hearty steak and ale pie, and a nice pint of Raven Red bitter, perched in front of one of our open fires.
October 1/2 term

The Autumnal mists and seasonal colours are resplendent. But just in case you get caught in a shower, come inside the cosy Badger Bar, log fires ablaze. We have space for everyone, though there might be a wait for food at peak times such as 6.30-7pm but we can usually fit everyone in. The badgers are coming out anytime after 8.30 at the moment.
Dining

We are busy in the evenings now after 6.30pm. Arrive earlier for food if you can, to avoid the queues. Then stay around to watch the badgers. They are quite punctual at the moment, arriving around 9 to 9.30pm.
