A historic walk-in pub on Robinson Place, serving Robinsons ales, pub food, spirits and drinks in one of Bowness’s most characterful old buildings.

Hole in t’ Wall is a historic pub on Robinson Place in central Bowness. Originally known as the New Hall Inn, the building dates from 1612 and the pub’s present name is linked to a hole said to have been knocked through the wall so a neighbouring blacksmith could be served while working. The pub serves Robinsons cask ales, spirits, gins, rum and traditional pub food. It operates on a walk-in basis and does not accept table bookings online or by telephone. Food service, seasonal closures and children’s access times can change, so check the latest official information before making a special journey or arriving with a larger group.
