This 17th-century village inn has been sympathetically restored by Cumbrian born-and-bred couple Kevin and Nicola Tickle – and the locals are loving them for it, with the front bar still open for people to pop in for a pint and freshly made pie. In the rear restaurant, Kevin conjures up a tasting menu inspired by the seasons, the surroundings, his imagination and his local foraging knowledge. The playfully described dishes reveal real depth and originality. On certain days all tables are served at the same time, so be prepared to arrive promptly.
