We love the village of Cartmel and we love the Royal Oak pub right in the heart of it in the main square. Great food and service and the beer garden is great on lovely summer days!

I don't think I have ever looked forward to a beer as much as the one on Saturday after a hot sweaty climb in the Langdales. The Windermere Pale Ale was awesome! I ordered 2 at the same time as the bar was so busy. Very much enjoyed the Chilli with chips & rice. Hearty portions were needed and delivered. One of the best locations in the lakes too!

I've not had a Sunday roast for ages and never usually go for pork if I do. So it was a real treat to have one at The Greyhound in Shap. Very tasty and filling after our hike up Harter Fell. The place has had a refurb and looks great. Rustic but contemporary. Beer was good too!

Dropped in here for the first time after a walk from Aira Force around Gowbarrow Fell (incidentally the most stunning views along the length of Ullswater). For somewhere so out of the way, The Royal had an extensive and interesting menu as well as cask marque ales and accommodation.

A really nice Turkish restaurant in Barrow. Very authentic. Lovey staff, open kitchen where the chefs take pride in what they are doing. My wrap wit rice was very tasty!

Just my kind of place. A family run freehouse in a lovely little village out on a limb. Full of character. Good beer and food and nice rooms too. The heart of the local community. I had the trio of fishcakes that were very tasty with equally good Hawkshead Ale!

Enjoyed a lovely lunch at Skitby House. What an unexpected surprise the place was. Cafe, wedding venue, shop all with a very pretty look. The food was very good.

A great village pub. I stayed here when in Dent for the weekend. The room was nice, the food was good and their beer was excellent. They own Dent Brewery up the road. Right in the heart of this historic village. We did a great 10 mile walk from the door up Yorkshires highest peak Whernside. They take dogs too which was a bonus.

Really love pubs like this. Like stepping back in time. A proper historical Cumbrian pub. Great beer, food and atmosphere. We ate 2 days on the trot. The Village of Dent is just like the pub, its cobbled street leads to its door!
