An Inn for the 21st Century

Welcome to The Farmer’s Arms, an exceptional inn rescued and revived by Grizedale Arts and the local community. For centuries this historic hostelry on the edge of the Lake District welcomed travellers, locals, goods and ideas through its doors, but as times changed, this beautiful old inn lost its way.

Today The Farmer’s Arms is once again a thriving and ambitious rural hub, enhancing the lives of locals and visitors alike with wonderful food and drink, welcoming spaces for folk of all ages, and creative opportunities aplenty.

The Project

Food & Drink

We make sure that the freshest of seasonal flavours shine through in everything we make and serve. Our menu of delicious dishes features the best produce the Crake Valley has to offer, and our wood-fired pizza oven fires up every Thursday night. Our café and pizza menus are also available to takeaway and we also cater for functions and private hires in our dining room.

Menus & Booking

Stay with us

The Farmer's Loft Twin Room

We offer accommodation for up to six in The Farmer’s Loft, a freshly-refurbished self-catering apartment adjacent to the main inn. In prime position on the top floor above our pottery studios, two bright double bedrooms and one twin offer beautiful views over wooded hillsides and farmland. Both short and long break bookings are welcome.

Facilities & Availability

Learning & Making

Francis Lloyd-Jones and a student at the potter's wheel.

Run by arts organisation Grizedale Arts, The Farmer's Arms offers the very best in creative courses, one-off workshops, talks and events. Our experienced staff team of acclaimed makers and educators, and wide international network, provide opportunities for accessible learning across a range of subjects from pottery to architecture, gastronomy to gardening. We also host group and corporate bookings.

What's on

Shopping

The Farmer's Arms Honest Shop

We have both an in house retail space and an online shop, selling many of the lovely bespoke furnishings and tableware you’ll see in everyday use when dining or drinking with us. We also stock an affordable range of pottery and home accessories hand-made in our studios, crafts by guest makers, preserves from our kitchens and seasonal ranges such as plants and festive decorations.

Online Shop

Our Interiors & Exhibitions

We have been continuously and carefully refurbishing the interior of this Grade II Listed inn since acquiring it in a rundown state in 2021. We favour the re-use and recycling of existing fittings and features, and we source and adapt many vintage furnishings for use throughout the public and staff spaces of The Farmer’s Arms. We use skilled craftspeople and simple, natural materials to enhance this revered, characteristic building.

We believe in everyday creativity, and creativity everyday. It’s our mission to nurture this in everyone who works at The Farmer’s Inn and in everyone who visits us.
