About 11:30 am and time for a pint whilst walking from the railway station to the Beer Hall. Fairly quiet at this time of day but still enough customers to keep the staff occupied. I sat by the bay window and noticed that this pub boasts two Bisset Automatic Dart Scorers, however I think the pillar in front of the dart board would put me off the game.

I have never been here before, but I just followed everyone else when I alighted from the train. It seemed that everyone was going to the Beer Hall via the Eagle and Child. A good crowd of people all supping the ales. There was also a keg lager from Hawkshead Brewery available.

| Ulverston - Flying Elephants | 3.70 | | Golden and fruity session ale. |
| Loweswater - Gold | 4.80 | | |

Friendly welcome and cosy atmosphere tarnished by foul mouthed youths drinking at the bar.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Keswick - Thirst Pitch | 3.80 | | Copper coloured with complex, well balanced flavours. |
| Great Corby (formerly Cumberland) - Corby Ale | 3.80 | | Served in good condition and poured a light brown with thin head. Unremarkable in flavour or body. No real hop or malt tastes. |
| Belhaven - Caledonian Deuchars IPA | 3.80 | Not Tried |

Traditional lakeland building In Kendal Road, sympathetically opened out to provide bar and lounge areas. Plenty of cosy tables near the two log fires. A long-standing commitment to real ale from micros and a reputation for good food. Beer garden adjoins the river.
