Brackenrigg Inn in Eden

Great atmosphere and live music on a Friday night. Food and bar staff were great. Particularly enjoyed the music at the bar pre band - ‘clubland classics’ blaring out was a unique experience

Overall we enjoyed our lunch however the menu is extremely poorly labelled for dietary requirements and the staff although helpful were not reassuring. Really enjoyed our food. Would be better with table service

We wanted a private spot to celebrate the 100th birthday of one of our party. The whole team was very helpful in facilitating this for us, and on the day we had a marvellous luncheon. The food was very good, the service excellent and unobtrusive and we were delighted with the whole thing.

the bar tender was agreat character, freindly and makng the best he could of the evening, as was the waitress, they were obviously undestaffed and did a great job, the food was nice but not spectactular but very much enjoyed tyical pub grub but f a higher standard not quite gastro pub, it was disapointing it wasnt table service, greatto take the family to or for after a walk or day out,

Wonderful food. The roast beef in particular was outstanding. Having to order at the bar is ok.. but the guy behind the bar was rude and unhelpful, refusing to add a starter order after inputting the mains. Shame about his attitude in general as otherwise it was great but service a let down.

Great spot for a beer overlooking some of the best views the lake District offers. Recently refurbished with new owners. Much nicer inside than it was previously. Decent Sunday lunch too.

We ate here tonight, the food was lovely. The chap behind the bar could do with cheering up a bit, he was verging on rude. My main complaint was a glass of wine was £16. There was no wine list to view the prices. £16 is outrageous for a glass of red wine.

We called in to the Rampsbeck after a long walk one lunchtime. It wasn’t busy, yet the service was incredibly slow and we also waited close to an hour for our food to come out. It was lovely once it arrived, but let down by the delay. The staff were friendly but spent too much time gossiping loudly to eachother behind the bar and were neglectful of clearing plates and glasses away (both on the tables and bar area). It has so much potential as the food was lovely, but the service needs to be improved.

Supposed to do good Sunday Roasts. It was edible, but not great and when asked for extra cauliflower cheese, we were told they don't do that as an extra. So when we asked for my daughters (who had requested none as she has a dairy allergy), we were told they couldn't give us that, just in case she ate it! She's 21 and quite capable of not accidentally eating cauliflower cheese, especially if it is in a separate bowl!

Whilst camping at The Quiet Site (25 mins walk up the hill) we ate here twice in three nights. I have read some of the reviews and I kind of get some of it. The place is relaxed, the staff are super, super friendly, they do not rush you and we were really welcomed. Great rose wine but not inthe fridge so put on ice and served with ice, we went with it but I get it would annoy others. Relaxed pub food but could be better with a bit of organisation. I am not sure who the manager is - but whoever you are it would take very little to score better from all reviews on all counts. Ps the waitress who had come back from tavelling in asia was brilliant!

Wonderful view onto Ullswater from a window table, excellent service, immaculate decor (having been taken over and renovated by Another Place just down the road). See comment on excellent food below. Strongly recommended

First time at the Brackenrigg, and as its one of my local pubs, and had recently been refurbished, had been looking forward to it. My friend and I arrived at 11.56, behind another couple in front of us. The couple in front of us were told very abruptly that the pub wasn't open, and that they needed to wait outside until the pub opened ( in literally 4 minutes). The chap asked if they could wait in the doorway ( it was raining outside), and was told no. The young lady 'welcoming ' then said she had thought it 11am , not 12am, but the couple in front left. My friend and I were told we could sit at a table until it opened. I had already been made aware that everything had to be ordered from the bar, so once the pub was 'open' we went to the bar and ordered our food. Whilst we paid separately, we ordered at exactly the same time. I paid £7 for 4 individual halloumi fries and a small pot of mayonnaise, which arrived 15 to 20 minutes before my friends food, which had been ordered at the same time. Food is delivered with no pleasantries, there is no check back, and plates collected without any interaction with staff whatsoever. The welcome was about as warm as an article summer, and it truly is start how you mean to go on. The only plus point was a nice pint of Guinness. Very disappointing.

Hi, We paid a visit to The Brackenrigg Inn on Tuesday 2nd July. for an evening meal. I ordered fish and chips and my husband ordered burger and chips. When it arrived my chips looked like they were the bits from the end of the bag of frozen chips, just a few decent size ones thrown in. They were over cooked and found it hard to put my fork into them. The same goes for the fish it was well over cooked the batter was so crispy, one again couldn't put fork into it with out it crumbling into bits. Had to break the fish with my hands to get some of the fish out. It arrived with little pots of mushy peas, tartar sauce, and what supposed to be curry sauce. it was like water with a bit of flavouring. My husband had burger and chips. The chips were the same as mine. Burger was very basic. We left leaving very disappointed and hungry. Jan .

Visited here after we heard it had been refitted. Decor, fixtures and fittings are nice. Food was fairly decent and came out quickly. We hadn’t booked as it was mid week but quite unceremoniously got told “you can have that one but we need it back by 7:30” fine we thought as it was only 6pm. We tried to order some drinks and again got snapped at and told to go to the bar. Food and drink ordered. Food came out worryingly fast and cleared away even faster with the next course served instantly. We felt quite rushed and an inconvenience as we had taken the table. Done and out by 6:50/7:00. The most annoying thing is we got charged a “discretionary 10% service charge” which we only knew about once we had got our receipt AFTER paying as you have to go to the bar to pay. I wouldn’t usually mind but there is NO TABLE SERVICE! I’ve done half the work for you and then you charge me another 10% on top of what is already quite high food prices without notification until it’s too late. Trading standards issue I think? All in all I won’t be returning as the food prices are too high, the staff are less than impressionable, there is no table service and I get charged more for no reason. As a local I could’ve suggested this place hundreds of times over but I will probably not do so.

It was a perfect place to meet our friends. It had been beautifully refurbished, the food was delicious and the scenery overlooking Ullswater was stunning.

I've been staying at the Inn for 25 years. The very expensive work that has been carried out has truly transformed the place. The bar has so much more room and light. The rooms have all been tastefully refurbished, though have only been in one room twice. The food is as its always been, excellent. Though it is surprising and disappointing that there isn't a steak option, other than gammon. Come on, change this! Those that work at the Inn are all great. Customer focused and go out of their way to be helpful. Though sadly at times the demand overwhelms them and queues build at the bar. The major problem is breakfast. All that is available at the Inn is cereal's, tinned fruit, toast and waffles. This is not a continental breakfast. It is poor beyond belief for a £200+ room. So on this visit I took up the option to eat at Another Place just down the road. Yes, they have built a footpath over a field for safety, but sorry, the breakfast experience at the Another Place was poor. There is a lot to choose from, but I wanted a full English. What I got was dry sausage, dry bacon and cold black pudding. Dry like they'd sat in a warming dish for an hour. They don't do fried egg, but the poached egg I had was superb. A couple came to their table and ordered tea and coffee. They went to the buffet and voted with their feet and left. Back at the bar at the Inn, I spoke with 2 other couples who were greatly disappointed by breakfasts at both venues. Overall, I will return because I love the Inn, the views, the refurbishment and the folk who work there. But will bring my own cold meat and cheese, All the best

We are local and decided to go with the family for food, disappointing that there is no table service,we received food and asked for more drinks but got told to go to the bar where we had to wait in a queue as there was a few people ordering, by that time food had gone cold. This place could be amazing if you get the right staff . Don't think we will be returning

I visited the Brackenrigg for Sunday lunch, the food was really nice, there was a nice atmosphere in the place, all the staff were really nice, will defo be going again.

Called in the Brakenrigg Inn as it was newly re-opened .The minute you walked through the door the bar area looked really warm and inviting the barmen made you feel at home straight away. We found a table and ordered food which took a little while to come but the place was busy and was definitely worth the wait . Personally i only ordered a main meal but the starters looked great the main course was really nice and plenty of it. I hope to be back soon to try more from the menu

I've been to the Brackenrigg Inn twice over the past week with my partner and they were perfect each time. Both times I had the vegetarian linguine and it was beautifully cooked and full of flavour. I have tried the soup and fruit crumble of the day and both were delightful and served with lovely presentation. The soup came with very traditional chunky rye/sourdough that was delicious. My partner had the burger and gammon. Both of his meals were exceptionally well done and the gammon was such a gigantic portion and presentation was immaculate to the point where the food could have been used for a photo shoot. It was really cooked to perfection and even when feeling full he carried on eating because it was impossible to stop. The restaurant staff were warm, friendly and helpful and very hospitable.

Called to see this newly refurbished inn, which has magnificent views. The new decor is very stylish with beautiful wallpaper, panelling and vintage fireplaces. However the music seems too loud and doesn't fit in with the classy look. It would be good to have alcohol free beer on offer please.

Meal out with the children, first weekend of trading following extensive refurbishment. Loved the decor, restful and luxurious, new flooring looked fabulous, plenty of seats, normal tables, sofas, bar stools, nicely laid out, a huge step up from before. It was very busy and food was served remarkably quickly. Nice food! Glorious location. Sitting outside when warmer will be absolute heaven. As it was, the sun was shining and it was glorious. But, had it been pouring with rain, a great place to watch Ullswater from on high and hope the clouds move on.

Was looking for somewhere to eat dinner. Came across the Brackenrigg I had the best steak and ale pie I've ever tasted. Service was excellent. Couldn't ask for more. Thankyou.

The food was excellent. We got served really fast and all the staff were very friendly. The view from our table was pretty amazing too.

Popped in spur of the moment. Absolutely delicious dinner (steak pie and f&c). Very friendly and helpful landlord. Will definitely return.

Called on the off chance so glad we did the food and service was outstanding gammon was lovely and the steak pie was just wow

The owner is very friendly, and helpful. Food portions are very good, and everything cooked fresh. The lobster and crab ravioli was very good. The Steak and Ale pie is the best we’ve ever had .

We could walk to this pub from our rented house for an evening meal. My friends enjoyed the choice of local pints. Two of us had the steak pie, rather than being an individual pie it was a generous slice of what must have been an enormous pie. It was delicious, dense with steak but nice and moist too. We went mid week so found a table easily. The pub has fabulous views over Ullswater but it was a bit cool that evening for us to sit outside.

Overnight stay was comfortable, our room was adequate , breakfast was nice too, location not so good if you want to walk, no paths etc. so would rely on car travel to get you there. Staff pleasant enough but the venue is looking tired and its very smelly from the smell of the kitchen, think they are planning to renovate, could be an amazing little venue with some £££ spent to improve. I would stay again for an overnighter and probably will once its been upgraded

Popped in for a quick drink after walking nearby Little Mell Fell. Had sandwiches with us but was hoping to be tempted by a pub lunch, the pub was empty with a few people sitting outside, no sign of a menu on any tables. Even if there were evening menus around, we would have thought about coming back in the evening as was staying nearby. Just a bit strange they don’t seem to advertise what they have to offer. Barmaid couldn’t really understand us, so we didn’t ask, place deserted inside other than her and another family. Brilliant view of Ullswater and sitting outside in the sun would be lovely on a dry day. Decor nice in pub. Disabled toilet very dated with wood chip wallpaper.

Fantastic little gem of a place, my daughter (7) and I just wanted something to eat before heading back home and decided to stop here instead of a services (which would be usual) on arriving a lovely aroma from the kitchen drew me to want something. certainly wasn’t expecting what we got! A definite wow with amazing food and friendly staff . My daughter commented on the real carrots with the steak and ale pie I had and she loved her pasta (not sure her comparison to being better than schools was very good though 🙄) however she has specifically asked for her birthday meal to be here! Family and dog friendly.

Great friendly place , sharp bar staff Dave and Jeff are entertaining and keep you feeling welcome ,

Amazing steak and ale pie. Staff are warm and welcoming. Perfect views of Ullswater and mountains from outside. Would highly recommend.

Food was great Service was poor and the barman shocking. Not only was he sarcastic to us and almost everyone that he served during the time we were there. But the crown achievement was that when one of the party had asked for non alcoholic beer he served up a bottle of the alcoholic equivalent. We didn't notice this till he brought the second bottle over to the table. Considering I was there with my pregnant girlfriend and someone that hasn't drank for over 3 years and wanted to keep it that way it was a massive mistake. However when I pointed this out rather than apologising he just blamed whoever had stocked the fridge and took no responsibility at all. If he had used his eyes rather than blundering though the evening trying to be smart with everyone at the bar in a failed attempt to be funny/charming he might avoid near catastrophic errors like that. Again food was great but the bar staff need to be refreshed or pay to have someone there with a bit of modern customer service skills. There are way too many alternatives around Ullswater to be giving such poor levels of service

Beer extremely poor and attitude from bar staff (or owners) was even worse than the beer. A poor end to what was a fantastic long weekend in the Lakes.

Man behind bar, rude, obnoxious. We tried to order food, told us he can't do everything as he was on his own. I did asked if there was a long wait, (happy to wait a bit ) To his reply was it's in the lap of the gods. I can't do everything, be behind the bar, and sort food out..upto you!...even told kids they couldn't use a door to go out to play in garden, just shouted out, don't go out there! So won't be going back

I was thrilled to find an old inn with rooms with a view of Ullswater for a 2 night stopover on the way home from Scotland. The view of the lake from the carpark is lovely but that is the highpoint. From there on things got worse and worse. Reception is at the end of a short narrow corridor between the bar and a dining area. The staff at the bar could see us waiting in reception and although he was serving someone didn't bother to acknowledge us and indicate that he would be with us shortly. Our room in the main building with a lake view was a little on the small side and although it was clean it was definitely tired and only had 2 uncomfortable footstools for seating. The TV was obscured by the kettle and there was no plug near a mirror which made drying your hair a bit of a gamble. The en-suite is a joke and I'm thankful we didn't bring the cat. It is no more than 3 feet wide and you can't open the shower door unless the sliding door to the room is open as well. Once in the shower - you can't close the room door. Dinner - A locally sourced hamburger - which looked to me like two thin slices of black pudding - could have been Tesco value range and the Cumberland Sausage was tasteless and looked like something the dog left behind curled up on top of a pile of mash. Breakfast - scrambled egg and smoked salmon From its appearance the egg could have been finely minced boiled egg and was not at all pleasant. Overall we thought the food was terrible We left immediately after not eating breakfast having stayed one night even though we had booked for 2 nights. Throughout our short stay the service was perfunctory at best and we certainly weren't made to feel welcome

Having passed this pub on lots of occasions we called in today for a drink and may be a meal on the way home from Glenridding. Bar person getting an amazon delivery and we had to wait for service which was no problem. All fine until we sat outside with a lovely couple and their dog. They were waiting to order food. As it was hot the the lady went in to ask for a dog bowl of water for her dog and was told "we don't supply dog water!!" WHAT!!!!.....So they left without ordering two meals and more drinks and ditto for us.... Absolutely disgraceful behaviour from anyone on a hot day guy's never mind a pretend 'dog friendly establishment!' Will just drive on by next time.....

We have Just had a two night stay and we were quite disappointed to say the least! we have visited this pub for many years and the food has always been delicious but we were told before we arrived that no evening meals were available?- so did consider changing accommodation but was told we could eat at Another place hotel down the round with a discount. This wasn’t so, as on arrival we were told that they were serving food?! We ate on both evenings at Another place restaurant and we would definitely recommend it! Apart from a friendly barmaid at the Brackenrigg, the other staff were miserable and didn’t seem to want to be there? Breakfast was ok! The whole place is shabby and our room smelt a bit foisty the bed was the smallest double we have ever slept in! The Bathroom was new and the best thing about it- along with the view over the Lake With some TLC and welcoming staff, the Brackenrigg could be a wonderful cosy B&B with breathtaking views and the micro brewery- such a shame as it must get so much passing trade, we will give it a miss next time!

Lovely place with traditional pub grub. Friendly service and a beautiful log fire. Would definitely go back

Not been here yet, have booked, but can’t wait, sounds like a cracking pub, staff having a laugh, good humour, food looks spot on, cask beer, and northern soul, keep the faith😀

We walked in to the welcoming sight of an open fire, the staff were friendly and the service was good. The food was hot, tasty and altogether excellent, definitely one of the best Sunday lunches we’ve had for a long time, we’ll be back again! Thank you

We dropped in for an early dinner on our way back to our caravan and we were greeted warmly. Two open fires, friendly staff and good “pub grub” menu. Sausage and mash was delicious, with locally sourced ingredients. What more could you want on a wet, cold autumn night?

Pasé por nuestra cena: gran selección en el menú. Chicken Schnitzel para mi esposa, Boar Burger para mí. Ambos estaban deliciosos, las batatas fritas eran excelentes y los aros de cebolla eran fantásticos. Las medidas de Covid estaban en su lugar y todo se sentía muy bien organizado. ¡Gracias a todos!

Me alojé por una noche, la habitación tenía las vistas más hermosas de Ullswater decepcionadas por una alfombra peluda descubierta. Después de un día de caminata, el personal del bar nos sentó en una mesa en el bar, le preguntamos al joven chico del bar si estábamos bien para quedarnos en esa mesa hasta nuestra reserva en el restaurante a la que dijo que era, después de pedir una segunda bebida, estábamos Dijeron que la mesa estaba reservada (al igual que todas las demás mesas) y nuestras opciones eran llevar nuestras bebidas a nuestra habitación, no reserva un hotel para sentarse en su habitación con sus bebidas, sin embargo, no teníamos otra opción, comimos en el restaurante, el servicio fue muy lento, sin embargo, la comida cuando llegó era hermosa, el desayuno al día siguiente fue bueno pero el comedor estaba muy frío, definitivamente me quedaría aquí nuevamente, nos quedamos el día después de que las reglas cambiaran al servicio de mesa solamente así que creo que, para ser justos, el personal todavía se estaba adaptando a los cambios.

Two 10 oz sirloin steaks for our main ( rare ) excellent ,,,peppercorn sauce was not the best but ok.the whiskey mustard sauce was not much better sadly. The steak made up for it.

The view from the car park is beautiful and also if you have the right table inside. The cleanliness and adherence to social distancing was below expectation as was the food unfortunately. Might be ok for the microbrewery?

Esta es nuestra segunda visita a este pub pero la primera reseña.Entonces, en primer lugar, definitivamente se necesita reserva previa. Reservamos una mesa para un domingo por la tarde después de haber ido previamente el sábado por la tarde a reservar una mesa para esa noche y descubrir que ya estaba llena.Dos miembros del personal estaban allí para un turno de media tarde muy ocupado, pero creo que necesitaban ayuda incluso si solo limpiaban las mesas, etc., solo una opinión, ya que hizo que obtener otra bebida con el nuevo sistema de pedido de papel tomara algo más de tiempo y parecía para causar confusión con otras órdenes.Más tarde, vino otro miembro del personal y sentimos que tenían una actitud leve a veces, ya sea un levantamiento de cejas, etc. Debo agregar que los otros miembros del personal que encontramos fueron muy amables y corteses.No dejaría que esto disuade a nadie de este pub, ya que la comida es muy sabrosa y también a un precio razonable (al igual que las bebidas). El menú ofrece una gran variedad de platos, desde almuerzos ligeros y platos para compartir servidos hasta media tarde hasta filetes y pasteles de pescado. como menú de noche. Ambos platos que comimos mi pareja y yo estaban muy bien presentados, a precios razonables y sabrosos. La ventaja adicional es que admiten perros. Volveríamos

Great food and good service,we ate two nights and though it was very busy they managed to fit us in👍

Very friendly staff. Amazing view looking out onto the Lake District. My steak was amazing. Cooked perfectly and very reasonably priced. Better than any fancy steak Iv had in London. Couldn’t recommend more highly :)

Very busy, and waited for a table in the post covid rules, but worth it, nice home brewed ales, and friendly staff

Pretty view, straightforward tasty food, pleasant dining areas, great to sit on the terrace weather permitting

Estaba en un hotel cercano y pasé este lugar en el camino y pensé en probarlo. Honestamente, solo buscábamos una comida caliente, pero nos sorprendió gratamente el estándar y la selección de alimentos que se ofrecen. Tuve el risotto, que estaba perfectamente preparado y mi novio tenía la parrilla mixta, una porción de buen tamaño.El pub es pequeño y acogedor por dentro con un fuego ardiente. El personal es amable y volvería a visitar.

Generous portions of good hearty pub food. Their own beer is also good. They do a nice range of sizable sandwiches for lunch as well as full meals.

Reservamos una mesa, ese fue el primer error. No se nos esperaba a pesar de que vivimos a solo 10 minutos de distancia. Decepcionante que gran parte del menú estaba apagado, pero posiblemente sea comprensible ser un domingo por la noche. Entonces los problemas realmente comenzaron. El plato de pan de ajo para niños estaba tan salpicado que casi no era comestible. El palomar de madera estaba muy por un lado y sin cocer por el otro. Pedí surf y césped, la cocina olvidó el surf. Cuando llegó tarde, faltaba la prometida mantequilla de ajo ligeramente sazonada. La salsa de whisky no había sido preparada, la salsa de reemplazo se produjo tan rápidamente que básicamente fue así. . . crema. Otra ronda de pan de ajo con el queso macarrones que no era comestible.El personal estaba luchando.No puedo explicar las buenas críticas anteriores, esta visita fue un error muy caro.

Lovely homemade food and cosy fires. Recommend for dogs and kids. Nice homely atmosphere - could have sat for hours.

Nice unpretentious pub for a good quality and good value meal. Would recommend both the Plaice and the fish pie.

Mi esposa y yo nos detuvimos en el Barckenrigg Inn para tomar una cerveza y almorzar durante unas vacaciones de un día en el distrito de los Lagos. Debo decirles que este fue el mejor pastel de pescado que hemos tenido y hemos sido bendecidos con viajando a muchos lugares del mundo, soy de Escocia, donde tenemos pasteles de pescado brillantes y sé que vivo en la isla de Vancouver, Canadá, donde abundan los pasteles de pescado y pescado, pero este en el distrito de los lagos fue increíble y tiene que ser el El mejor de todos.

Very friendly and helpful staff who could not do enough to enable us to have a drop in meal. Food was top notch as were the drinks. Dog made very welcome

It's a traditional 'well worn' but welcoming pub and there's nothing wrong with that. We ate there twice whilst on holiday in The Lakes. It overlooks Ullswater so is in a nice location. The food is good especially the steak pie. Decent ales - it's also a micro brewery - and the staff aim to please. Prices are reasonableIt's worth a visit

Ate here for dinner. Main man didn't seem overly happy to see us, his welcome was tepid and detached. Table was sticky! Not a good start. However the food was excellent, pub food as good as I have eaten.

We were on holiday in the area and decided to stop for lunch. We sat in the window of the bar and looked out over the road to the lake and beyond, it was beautiful. We had fish finger sandwiches and they were very tasty. The tartar sauce on them was a bit bland but we ate it. Staff were polite and friendly and brought things to us, so I didn't have to carry them.A good selection of beers, alas I didn't try as I was driving. However, they sell the bottles to take home.

My wife and I came here for dinner after traveling all day on our anniversary. Website/google/TripAdvisor advertised dinner until 9PM.

We live fairly locally and had been out for the day in the south lakes. On the way home we thought we would stop in for a drink and maybe just deserts as we had earlier had quite a late lunch. We've had drinks in here before quite a few times over the years, so although we are not regulars we know the place fairly well.

We went spontaneous for a lunch break as a Group of 6,could sit outside in the garden with lovely view of the Lake. Food Was brought outside, freshly homemade classics, Steak ale pie, fish Finger Sandwiches for the kids and Macn cheese. Also they have their own mikro brewery, so we got to Taste a few IPA and bitter and blonde. Staff Was very helpful and friendly. And our dog was welcome.

Went here because it was on the way back from Benridding to Pooley Bridge. Having seen that it served lunch, had a nice view of Ullswater and some sunshine we stopped off. What a delight. Steak and Ale pie was delicious, Fish and Chips were lovely and home made. Batter was really light. What a lovely stop for lunch.

Very reasonable priced pub serving up some nice country dishes, nothing fancy at all, just good pub food. I had the mixed grill which was very good, and the stout ketchup was fantastic. I tried all the ales on offer and were fine for local brewed stuff at a good price.

We arrived quite late but no problem and were shown to a pleasant table in the bar because we have a dog. Excellent menu choices and not all standard pub grub. We had Chicken Chasseur and excellent crispy chips £13.95 and Beef pie and chips (instead of mash) Proper well-filled pie,£12.95, both with perfectly cooked veg. Add good local beer at £3.30 per pint and friendly quick service so this is a place we will be back to.

Wow that pie was epic - slightly over cooked possibly - but awesome none the less.

Do try here for a delicious lunch, you will not regret it and the vista is lovely overlooking Ullswater.

We arrived at 9.15 PM and realised we had missed the chance of having a meal as the food stopped at 9 PM. Not to be put off we decided to have a drink and buy some nibbles. The barman was very helpful and the beer which is brewed only yards away was very nice and well kept. Everyone who was settling there bills for food said they were more than satisfied and whilst we only caught the tail end of seeing people finish their meals the smells coming from the bar where lovely.

Bar lady very helpful and friendly . Nothing seemed too much trouble. Goog menu we ate here on 2 occasions. Did not have to wait long after order was made and food came hot and very tasty . Would recommend if in the area. Local beer was very nice

At first it looked like we would have to leave, all the tables in the bar were full or reserved, so grabbed a sit in the other side. Went to ask for a menu to be told that the other side was fully booked around but they managed to jig things around and were able to offer us a table.

Paramos aquí para comer después de que una sala de té local se había quedado sin todo. Muy contentos de que tenían como la comida era encantadora.

Después de un viaje decepcionante hace unos meses, lo intentamos de nuevo.

I had gluten free burger, chips,salad & onion rings. I love my food and can honestly say best and largest burger I have ever had. Bun, onion rings all gluten free.

Así que nosotros y nuestros amigos decidimos que sería una buena idea pasar el fin de semana en The Lakes. Primer error Hacía frío y húmedo; había muy poco que hacer; habíamos estado en el único pub del pueblo para almorzar; esquivó a los chavs en Bowness; y descubrió que el único restaurante de aspecto decente en Glenridding estaba cerrado por una función privada. Así que manejamos buscando un lugar para cenar. . Más por aburrimiento que por hambre. Este lugar se veía bien, así que entramos. La chica detrás del bar era muy amable y servicial, pero las bebidas se servían en vasos algo sucios, mi amigo vio algunas mesas vacías. "¿Estaría bien sentarse allí?" "No, están reservados". "Oh. ¿Podemos pedir algo de comida?" "No". " ¿Oh? " . "Pasará al menos una hora antes de que pueda tomar su orden", dijo el hombre de la camisa blanca de goma de mascar. Cuando preguntamos si podíamos mirar los menús, él tiró dos copias en el escritorio para los cuatro con un despectivo "Aquí tienes". Fuimos al asqueroso asco y luego bebimos y nos fuimos.

Llamado hoy después de visitar la cascada local con un grupo de 11. Nos sentamos y disfrutamos de unas rondas de amargo muy agradable, y luego decidimos pedir algo de comida. En la familia ordenó a los suyos por 4 y luego, cuando pedí mis 3 comidas, el gerente lanzó algunos carteles reservados en la mesa sin decir una palabra a nadie sentado allí. Cuando mi suegro ordenó sus 5 comidas, el gerente anunció: 'necesitas moverte por 6, las mesas reservadas'. Esto nos dejó una hora y media para que nos llevaran nuestra comida y comiéramos. Después de una declaración tan cortés, respondí diciendo que si la comida salía tan rápido no sería un problema. Después de 30 minutos, el gerente no se disculpó, pero declaró "no tenemos bistec", después de elegir alternativas y recordarle que necesitábamos un reembolso de la diferencia, todo por disgusto que tuvimos nuestra comida con 30 minutos para cenar. Pudimos terminar a las 3 minutos pasadas las 6 y mientras nos íbamos, escuchamos al gerente pidiendo disculpas a la siguiente fiesta por la mesa que no estaba clara, ya que un grupo había acudido a buscar comida en el último minuto, aunque habíamos estado en el pub durante 4 horas pasando alrededor de 300 entre nosotros. Para agregar más insulto a la lesión, escuchamos al gerente recomendar los bistecs como lo mejor del menú, los bistecs que habíamos pedido y nos dijeron que se habían vendido.

Stayed hear for a few days, made very welcome, excellent staff, excellent food and drank their excellent brewed on the premises beer. Well done guys we will come again.

Nice roaring fire in the bar. They managed to fit us in even though they were busy and we hadn`t booked a table. The Steak and Ale pie was superb and the beer is good too !

After reading some very good reviews on this pub we were convinced to give it a try for our final evening in the lakes. We didn’t book ahead so turned up to see if we could make a reservation on the spot and we were told due to a large number of group bookings we would have to wait till later in the evening. We decided to pop to Another Place for a drink and starter. As we returned to this pub we walked into what can only be described as a pub FULL of angry and frustrated customers.

Visited here as we were stopping in a nearby hotel and really glad we did.

We stayed near The Brackenrigg for a week and enjoyed visiting in the evenings. We had a lovely meal and there was a good choice on the menu. The pub is cosy and the staff were very welcoming. Dogs are also welcome and we would go again on our next his it to the area.

We popped in today for a pint on out way back from a walk. Service was slow and unfriendly. The beer, surprisingly, was terrible. While we were there we watched twoother people bring pints back to the bar saying they tasted 'chemically'. Two of our three pints were undrinkable. Very disappointing. I suppose it will do well based on location alone but we won't be back.

Rather empty and lacking in atmosphere when we visited (early Sunday evening in January). Lovely range of real ales, several of which are brewed on site. Good food and substantial portions.

My mum came here for her honeymoon in 1978 I think and we have always come back over the years. Recently with my own in the last decade with my own family. In the last few years since it also became a micro brewery, we think it is at its best. Tonight we had steak, fish and chips, burger and steak pie! With a pint or two of their own ale. That sums it all up for me. A great Lakeland pub, fire, great beer and food! In the day one of the best views in the Lakes from a pub! Tonight a great view of Orion’s Belt. Better than all the pubs in Pooley Bridge for me!

Whilst looking for somewhere to dine, we had come across the Brackenrigg Inn online, rather fancied because of the affiliated brewery.

Well what a pleasant surprise this place was , Anthony , aidon , and the newbies graham and Donna , made our time at the brackenrigg brilliant . We loved the food , the blonde beer , the red wine and of course the cider . Great team , great welcome and great open fire . I cannot wait to walk in again and shout (I'm back) lots of love Tracey and Paul xx

Had an absolutely fabulous meal here with the family. Thank you for the great service and good value.

Called in early evening and sat in the pub area where an open fire was roaring and welcomed you straight away. Good quality pub food served piping hot and fresh with undoubted quality produce used. Fairly priced and service was good.

Llamamos un domingo a mediodía después de un fin de semana en los lagos antes de regresar a casa. El pub estaba tranquilo, solo había otro grupo, así que teníamos un servicio bastante concentrado. La comida era buena (teníamos un curry vegano, un pescado y papas fritas y 2 comidas para niños), que estaba muy bien cocinada (aparte de la masa en los goujons de pollo de un niño que es un poco descuidado) y presentado. La cerveza era excelente, había un gran fuego y un deporte en la televisión (sin sonido que molestara a nadie que no estuviera mirando), y podría haberme quedado allí toda la tarde si no hubiera conducido a casa.

Stayed on 23rd Oct in room 7. Had to leave before 6am and no hot water at sink or shower. Later emailed management to be told " room 7 furthest from hot water cylinder so tap would need running for a while"

¡Pensé que este iba a ser un buen lugar para tener una "buena" comida de pub desafortunadamente no! Muy decepcionado con la comida después de leer algunas de las críticas, el repollo rojo con Shepherds Pie era puro vinagre y otras comidas estaban bien. La gente era agradable y servicial teniendo en cuenta que habían perdido mi reserva y lo confirmaron en el correo electrónico. ! No es un lugar que pueda recomendar, lamentablemente, ¿quizás un mal día?

Overnight stay B&B.; Also had dinner. Room was excellent with a lake view. Room No.1. Staff and service very good. Excellent meals. Best was the range of home brewed beers. Highly recommended.

Tuvimos la suerte de tropezar con este pub mientras caminábamos hacia el puente Pooley. Valió la pena parar solo por la cerveza solo, pero la ventaja de una buena opción vegetariana en el menú fue una grata sorpresa. Veganos también bien atendidos. El menú de postres también fue demasiado tentador y el pudín de toffee pegajoso fue uno de los mejores que he tenido.

Stopped for a warm up drink and thought about having food, as all the tables were reserved sat at the bar, soon realized it was like watching faulty towers, moved on.

Fire was good, nice pint from the onsite brewery. Wanted to eat but the barman/waiter was apparently unable to handle more than 6 customers on his own so he suggested we didnt because they’d be a 45 minutes wait.

Went here about 7 years ago and the service was appallingly slow. Was staying nearby at the weekend and decided that we would give it another try especially being as their website menu has cheese and onion pie on it which is my vegetarian friends favourite. We were shown to our table and were told they would bring us menus which they did about 30 minutes later but cheese and onion pie was nowhere to be seen. On asking we were told the online menu is out of date. Surely this needs to be addressed as most people will book because they like what's on the menu. My friend was most disappointed and had to make do with the veggie burger(only two vegetarian dishes on the menu)she count eat the bun as it was too doughy. On the plus side my Cumbria beef and ale pie was quite nice. We didn't have a pudding as there was nothing we fancied apart from a chocolate mousse which was a tad overpriced at £7.50. I know I will be staying nearby again but I won't be back

The food was decent but the service was pretty slow but we were in no rush. When we received the bill we checked it and they had overcharged by two pints and a bottle of wine to the tune of £25. When we queried it, there was no apology and the waiter just knocked the price down. Glad we checked..............

Ate here twice and no complaints about the food. Really good portions and very tasty. The majority of the staff were great, the couple of staff who I wouldn’t rate much weren’t that much of an issue, the bear was good and the wine was reasonably priced. We didn’t have dessert but from what we saw they looked great and everyone seemed to enjoy them.
