Cockermouth, British, Traditional Restaurant Guide

“What more could you want after a day on the fells than the hearty, well-cooked food” at this famous 400-year-old Lakeland inn, which brews its own beers at a site nearby (and where you can also stay the night in one of ten rooms). The cooking’s nowt fancy, mind: Chicken tikka burger, Steak & ale pie or Moroccan lentil cottage pie are typical of the no-nonsense scoff.
