The Stable Bar
The Stable bar is the oldest part of the inn. For centuries a meeting place where locals and visitors gathered.
Recently restored to its former glory, an open fire, a jukebox and flowers from local gardens make for a bar like no other.
Our bar champions independent, organic producers. We serve a variety of beers from Cumbrian breweries, spirits from UK distilleries and award-winning organic house wines sourced from central Spain. To support kindred spirits doing things differently, we’ve found small, locals like Unsworth’s Yard, Ulverston Brewery, Fell Brewery, Shed 1 Gin and Lakes Brew Co.
In our kitchen, a lot of our produce is ethically-sourced, with many ingredients from neighbouring farms, from our Garden School plot and foraged locally. If we didn’t make it ourselves we don’t serve it: we even make all our desserts in house. We gladly cater for special dietary requirements – just ask – and we always have something on the menu for kids. On Fridays we fire up our beautiful outdoor wood-fired oven and serve made-to-order pizzas. Takeaways welcome.
On our bar walls, we’ve hung a fascinating collection of 18th-20th century posters, prints and original paintings with rural and local themes, curated by Grizedale Arts director Adam Sutherland (find out more here). Our eclectic furnishings include carefully-restored original wooden settles and chairs which have been at the inn for centuries, alongside local vintage finds and bespoke fittings.
