We just happened to find this pub on a drive out, what a find. A lovely warm atmosphere, lovely inside & out, great food & lovely finishing touches to decor.
First time here and it was very good.
Perfect pint of Tirril Grasmere Gold.
I had the steak pie which was plentiful and came with a lovely side of greens. Slightly disappointed not to have home made chips which would have made things just perfect and 5 stars for the food. Rest of the party enjoyed their food and no complaints at all.
Service was good with happy staff who delt excellently with a dietary requirement from one of our party.
Wait for food was as you would expect given they were bus'ish had some large tables in and we didn't order starters.
Atmosphere was lovely with your standard country inn vibe and decor, with twinkle lights in the wooden beams.
Overall quite impressed and will certainly be back.

Warm atmosphere, beautiful interior. Very nice and fast service. ☺️ The food is amazing! ☺️☺️😋😋😋
This place doesn’t disappoint! The food is fabulous, and cooked perfectly. Front of house staff are extremely friendly and welcoming and from what I could tell is also a very dog friendly pub. Will absolutely be returning when we are next visiting the area.
Best sticky toffee pudding we’ve ever had. Literally.
Ok but not amazing Sunday lunch (roast beef was tough/chewy, but good variety of sides and Yorkshire pudding was perfect).
Pigs in blanket starter was delicious!
Friendly staff! Good looking pub interiors with a cozy wood burner in winter.
A bit in the middle of nowhere but enjoyably so :)
Great recommendation. Lovely comfortable traditional pub / restaurant with wood burning stoves, comfy sofas and super restaurant area. The lunch was great with plenty of choice on the menu. The sort of place to bring friends and family for a meal.
Had to stop here as we have our very own black labrador. We called in at lunch today sat in the bar area, amazing warm welcome we had the fish and chips , the beef burger and the kids pizza with mash and beans ( daughter's choice lol) all fantastic and tasty . The lady on the bar who served us was very attentive and even brought us a bowl of water for our dog ,and made special time to talk to our daughter . We even spoke to the owner outside who told us about his new labrador babies . Will definitely call bad and try some more of this fantastic food keep up the great work guys .
Came here on a whim after passing by earlier in the day driving to Scout Scar. We hadn't made a reservation, but the staff were able to fit us in (2 adults, 1 dog) and we're glad they did! Lovely food, the staff were very friendly, and the pub itself had a nice atmosphere. We'll be back next time we're in the area... But we might book just to be safe!
Real gem of a place. A bit out of the way but nice drive to and from. Staff were lovely. The surroundings are very nicely done. The bar is traditional and the restaurant very tastefully done in the style of a manpr house dining room. The option to open up the bi-fold doors was welcome with the 80° heat outside.
I had the gammon with eggs and pineapple, chips and salad. I have a healthy appetite but struggled.
Will definitely be back.
Really lovely pub, cosy atmosphere and lovely food. Attentive and helpful staff with prompt service.We had the beef roasts and two childrens roasts and despite chicken not being on the menu they prepared it for one of our daughters . My husband wasn't sure if his pint was cloudy or off and it was no problem for them to replace. Good size portions and fresh and delicious!
Lovely friendly welcome. Well priced food. The vegetarian halloumi burger was delicious! As was the duck. Would definitely recommend.
Fantastic gastro pub. Food was very tasty. We tried a few starters to share, followed by mains an dessert.
Honestly this was such a lovely pub. Dog friendly, they sell dog drinks and meals too it's just a shame we weren't made aware of this on arrival. This pub has a pub section and then a slightly fancier section, as we were muddy from our walk and with our dog we chose to stay in the more pub-like area which was nice and warm, perfect after a rainy walk!
I don't know where to start on the food, it's reasonably priced and was extremely tasty! I'd recommend the duck, I've never had duck before and I definitely didn't regret my choices. My partner had the venison burger with blue cheese and highly recommended this too.
The dessert was just as tasty and well presented, there was lots of choice for ice cream flavours. We had the sticky toffee pudding with rum and raisin ice cream and the winter berries meringue with white chocolate and raspberry ice cream.
Went here for an end of holiday treat with the extended family. Quite a large party so we had a pre-order our food.
At the time of the visit we were greeted by the manager (I think) , we were the first group in at 5.30pm
The starters came out very quickly and at this point I remembered a mistake had been made with one of the requests for main course. (It was only a change of fillet steak being cooked medium rather than well) . Although this simple request was met, I was made to feel like a scolded schoolchild by the manager for making the error. It detracted from my enjoyment of the starter.
Main course came and the steak was one of the best I’ve ever had
Service following was excellent and without issue. The earlier bothered me enough to mention on here
Nicest pub I've been to, 10/10.
Building has lots of character, with good outdoor seating. Friendly service with extremely nice food. Will definitely be coming back.
Lovely atmosphere, great warm happy welcome from the staff. Great delicious food. Deserts very good.
Have been a couple of times before always had a great experience. This time was a little lacking. The young girl showed us to a table which clearly was very short on space…like I wasn’t able to get to the seat never mind sit down… she just looked at me blankly when I asked her to sit else wear( there were plenty of other tables free) anyway she scuttled away to ask. When seated at a more suitable table our order was quickly taken. Had the steak mushroom and cheese pie. I think they for got the steak and added extra mushrooms instead. Disappointingly I ate my mushroom pie. We won’t be rushing back which is a shame.
We had heard stories, they were all true. Great food, pleasant surroundings and of course, amazing service from the team. If you're nearby, go see for yourself. Thank me later.
If you're visiting the Lake District, this pub is an absolute must. We cannot recommend highly enough - excellent food, we had the lobster / crab ravioli and the steak + ale pie, followed by vanilla panacotta. All absolutely delicious 😋, the kitchen certainly knows what they're doing! And, on top of great food, a lovely atmosphere and the staff are all super friendly, professional and attentive - despite being super busy and having a full house for dinner! A big thumbs up from us at 'The Bothy' 😉 we will most definitely be returning to this gem of a pub when we revisit the area!! Thank you guys for a perfect last evening meal during our break 😍🍴
