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..

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.

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.

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.

The bluebells have flooded local fields, the sun is warming up and the lambs are playing in the fields. After a fabulous walk along the shores of Rydal Water come and relax in our large beer garden. In the unlikely event that the weather is not perfect, then call in for a pint and a tasty pie in front of our open fires. Very cosy. See you soon...

Yes it is! We even saw the sun last week. We are open every day now, and the weekends have been busy. Our Sunday roasts are getting very popular, and rightly so. We hope to see you soon.
