North east of Penrith in the ancient village of Kirkoswald lies the Crown Inn. The village was founded by monks and it sits on the coast-to-coast walking route but this quiet and tranquil corner of Cumbria is a world away from the hustle and bustle of the Lakeland tourist traps. An eighteenth century coaching inn, The Crown is right by the village square and war memorial and is a real locals' pub with bags of character crammed into one small room. Chef-patron Tony took over the reins here again in summer 2013 and his menus combine traditional pub favourites with more adventurous fare like Calimari and chorizo salad with roasted red pepper and Duck breast with black pudding and caramelized apples. The Crown has a pool room and every Sunday there is a quiz night. Read The Crown's TripAdvisor reviews here.
