It suits groups particularly well, but peak periods can be busy. Check the current menu, opening times and table-booking arrangements before travelling.

Our local note

One of Ambleside’s best choices for craft beer and casual food, especially if you want tank beer, pizza and a more contemporary bar atmosphere.
