Lush but could have done with more from the hops. A little bland.

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.

Friendly welcome and cosy atmosphere tarnished by foul mouthed youths drinking at the bar.

Served in good condition and poured a light brown with thin head. Unremarkable in flavour or body. No real hop or malt tastes.
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.
