crown inn shap in Eden

On a typical Lake District evening what are you looking for in a pub? This certainly hit the spot … a roaring log burner, a warm welcome with a mix of locals and visitors, good beer and excellent food - tasty, good quality and hearty portions. Travelling alone you always end up talking to those around you and they were similarly enjoying the beer and the food. It’s certainly dog friendly too with water bowls and towels to dry them when you arrive … before they hog the log burner. I gather this has been newly taken on by a family and I wish them well. Certainly I hope it thrives so I can return whenever I am breaking my journey at Shap - which is v convenient just off the M6.

Wow what can we say such a lovely quaint local type pub, wished we lived nearer to have it as our local. We visited a few times through the week for drinks and was made to feel so welcomed by staff and the locals. Danielle the landlady was so lovely she as only had the pub a few weeks but you wouldn't have known. All the food (though we didn't get round to eating there) was home cooked, she seemed also to support locals buying their products to cook with. Elisha the bar maid was so lovely and we had some fantastic conversations with her and it felt like talking to family members when talking to them both. We will definitely be visiting again next year and will definitely try that lovely homemade food. Prices of drinks and food was reasonable. This pub is a must to visit if in or passing through Shap. Thank you Danielle and Elisha for making us feel so welcome. Good luck for the future.

Recently changed hands and we live locally so went to try it out. Staff were very friendly and attentive, and the homemade food was delicious. Generous portions and excellent value for money. Would definitely recommend .

We were walking in the area and decided to call in for Sunday lunch. It was delicious and very reasonably priced. Staff were lovely and very efficient. We will be back

Great spot to camp along the Coast to Coast. The camping pods are a lovely break from having to pitch a tent. Ask about laundry services, as it's also the perfect time to get clothes laundered and dried.

Great friendly warm pub, good food and beer, we stopped overnight parking our motorhome in the carpark.We will be back sometime.

Great for warm welcome, cheap drinks and camping pods at the back. Food was not on because of hospitalisation of landlord's wife. Fish and chip restaurant down the road was good and handy.

Literally stumbled into the pub after a long day from Kirkby Stephen on the Coast to Coast. I was greeted with a warm welcome from Sharon and poured a much needed pint by Mark. Slowly came around and was offered an opportunity a look at the pitch and pods in the garden. Decided that as I was carrying my effing tent across the North of England I should pitch, although heard from a pod sleeper that it was a great option - 100% guarantee of not packing a damp/wet tent as well. Shower and toilet were adequate and decent enough for the price. Shower was hot. Good choice of beer, notably two from Tirril brewery (Pooley Bridge). Good wifi. Loved the layout of the pub. Above all the welcome from Sharon and Mark made my stay. I really enjoyed their food and had a comatose inducing Buster Breakfast to see me through my day off wandering around Shap. A great eclectic playlist across all genres, made it easy to sit in the pub supping a few pints. I hope to return.

I unexpectedly spent 4 months in Shap. On my first visit to Crown Inn I was warmly welcomed not only by Mark and Sharon but also by the locals seated about at the time. All were open and friendly. They all shared the "Small Town" values I am so familiar with, living in rural Yukon, Canada. This set of values was repeated throughout most of the establishments I visited within Shap. This atmosphere combined with the fine food , the beverages crossing the bar, and the list of amenities offered to travelers , tenting, sleeping pods, covered semi enclosed gazebo, laundry services, showers( Fine Folk attract Fine Folk) is what has earned such fine ratings. I will certainly miss Crown Inn and it's Patrons. Visit, Relax, and Enjoy! Fine Folks attract Fine Folks. Chris McIlvaney, Yukon, Canada

Ive stayed with Mark and Sharon at the Crown Inn three times during 2022 and always been given the warmest of welcomes. Being allowed to use the car park to base my camper van whist I walked many circuits of Wainwrights Outlying Fells the evenings were spent in the warm cosy pub enjoying wholesome food and the best of craft beers both served with a cheery smile and plenty of banter. Wether you are doing the C2C, using it as a base like me or simply passing through Shap I highly recommend a visit. I hope Sharon’s hands have recovered from the surgery and would like to wish you both all the best in the future. Peter. Your favourite Yorkshireman.

Stopped for a much needed drink with my wife after completing 15 mile coast to coast leg from Patterdale. We were a bit stuck and needed to get a taxi to Kendal on a Sunday afternoon. We were helped by staff to get a local taxi driver. Very kind and much appreciated.

6.30 on a drizzly Sunday evening and this was the last of the three pubs in shap we tried - and it provided the fairy tale ending :) warm comfy with fabulous home cooked food with options for veggies - excellent value. Old style pub.

I arrived in Shap after a long day in the saddle and was looking for somewhere to pitch my tent. I noticed the pub offered camping so I popped inside to a very warm welcome .. and the wonderful aroma of home cooked food. The deal was done - I wasn't pedalling anywhere else tonight. There was a small patch of grass to pitch on but I also noticed some quirky pods so I did a quick upgrade which was a great choice when torrential rain arrived at 4.30am. Once I'd made myself (a bit) more presentable I didn't need to go anywhere else to eat since the menu had ample choice. It didn't take long to make my choice which was finished off with a well earned dessert. It was all great food, home made and plenty of it at great value too. The hosts were lovely and very obliging - I will definitely recommend. Thank you 😊.

Amazing pub, just how an English pub should be, the owners was amazing and couldnt do enough for me. I felt like family. Shaz did my washing and they fed me up with great meals, the breakfast was amazing and huge, I will be back. Call him Kid... loves it.

Don’t listen to the stupid sod below, this place is a diamond in the rough after a long day out walking on the C2C Mark and Sharon can’t do enough for you, the food is fantastic and home cooked, hospitality is second to none and the atmosphere is more than you could ask for. Best night of my C2C

We arrived in Shap for a late lunch and went looking for somewhere. The sign outside the Crown Inn advertised that food was being served. So we went in. Inside rather dingy, with a handwritten sign on the wall advising that there is a charge for tap water and for charging electrical items. My daughter asked if we could get lunch, only to be told that the kitchen was closed ‘because my wife is too busy’. So why the sign outside advertising food? And why could they not organise food service? Overall: scruffy, unfriendly, mean and poor service. There are far better places in Shap. Avoid this one.

This is a very friendly pub with good food (and good local beer) if you’re looking for an alternative to a motorway service station. (M6 J39) Helpful to walkers doing the Coast to Coast; I think they may also be on a Cycle route. They’ll do your laundry overnight, and they have a couple of camping pods and an area for free camping. Did I mention the local beer was good?

Awesome pub!! Mark is a fabulous landlord … call him John ~ he loves it! We had a fabulous meal here which was cooked by Sharon. A wonderful stop over. Thank you ‘John’! : )

We booked the camping pods to break up a car trip along the nearby M6. We came in to a beautifully cosy bar with a proper stove, good real ale, pool, darts and friendly staff and locals. There was no food that night but the landlord recommended another local pub (very good). The pods were off the ground, so more comfortable than ground-sheets but you still need a roll mat and sleeping bag. There was an outside toilet and shower right beside the pods. Highly recommended and very cheap.

Popped in here while overnighting in Shap. Not that busy which was good as service was fast and friendly. Food was good home cooking.

Lovely traditional village pub. May not look much from the outside but the food is excellent. Warm and welcoming - a proper little gem 😍

Booked this place last minute whilst doing the coast to coast walk. Needed somewhere to stay after eating here with my family. Arrived after a pretty hefty day's walking and straight away didn't feel welcome. In particular the landlord was difficult. Let's just say it...

Traditional friendly village pub with delicious home cooked food. We always visit the Crown when we holiday in the area, twice last week, which speaks for itself. Looking forward to our next visit when we are next in the area; I have saved their number...

Wanted to pop in for a drink after a long walk and was greeted by an extremely rude and unfriendly barman who was sitting in the bar area. He spilt his own beer over himself and blamed my husband for it! We didn’t hang around!

Turned up here after a long days hiking without booking anything and had a good meal and camped in the back garden, good shower and had our clothes washed and dried for us ready for the next day. The landlord was brilliant with us and...

Travelling from London to NI and back, we were tired and wanted that extra bit of energy to keep us going. What great food we found at The Crown!! Parking for our van. Management are great and it's a true vibe! Amazing music too. We...

Having walked through varied weather 17 miles from Patterdale we were in need of comfortable, friendly surroundings, large quantities of good, tasty food ,HOME-MADE, good beer, friendly service and some change in our pocket when we left..... had we known that camping pods were available...

We arrived soaking wet and cold - having cycled over Shap in a torrential deluge .... this place was a wonderful find - cosy and warm, the owners were very friendly and produced a wonderful warming meal of the best tomato soup and warm rolls...

Arrived wet, cold and hungry to the crown in after trecking from patterdale over the mountains. Mark and Sharon welcomed us like family, tended to our every need and can not thank them enough for their hospitality. Beautiful people, beautiful pub in a beautiful place...

Me and a colleague had our 10tonne van breakdown just outside the Crown Inn at Shap Village. All I can say is, the food was excellent, the chips and burger were much needed! The establishment is run by a husband and wife and they are...

We came here one night for something to eat whilst staying in shap. The owners were really friendly and welcoming they followed the government guidelines (took our contact details and our temperatures) they had there special on little black boards on the bar which was...

My partner and I stumbled in after our 4th day of the Coast to Coast walk soaking to the bone and our spirits were lifted from that moment. We had a camping pitch booked but "upgraded" to the pod, which is simple but effective 👍....

Lovely service and very good quality home-cooked food. A wonderful little pub considering it's only run by 2 people.

Ate at this pub whilst staying in shap it has such a warm, cosy and welcoming atmosphere. Landlord and land lady are such nice people. The food was absolutely outstanding so tasty and cheap prices too. Would definitely recommend going to this pub. Little gem...

Me alojé aquí mientras caminaba de costa a costa.El pub tiene dos áreas para acampar y una pequeña área plana con césped para tiendas de campaña.El pub está dirigido por Mark y Sharon, ambos brillantes. La cerveza es buena y está bien de precio y la comida es casera con porciones generosas.No puedo recomendar este pub lo suficiente.

Great pub with lovely owners Sharon & Mark. Food and service excellent. We had both lunch/dinner on different days and both were really good. Had the famous Bacon/Leek Hotpot which was worth the wait. Best pub we've been in for a long time.

Así debería ser la comida de pub. Casera, fresca, sabrosa. Porciones generosas y fue encantador estar lleno después de un largo día caminando. Los anfitriones son acogedores y amables y pasamos una agradable velada. Caminamos de costa a costa, así que tenemos que seguir adelante, pero visitaríamos de nuevo si estamos en la zona. Recomendado.

Tuve la lasaña, deliciosa y casera. Habíamos caminado desde Patterdale ese día (de costa a costa), por lo que la gran parte fue muy apreciada.Tuvimos una agradable charla con el propietario (Mike) y su esposa sobre la comida y cómo es llevar un pub en estos tiempos difíciles. Como lo mencionó otro crítico recientemente, Mike merece tener éxito y le deseo la mejor de las suertes.

Originalmente reservado para acampar aquí por 4 noches a fines de julio, pero se extendió a 5 y fue una pena seguir adelante. Cálida bienvenida de Mark y Sharon, que fueron muy buenos anfitriones.Pequeña zona de jardín para montar carpas y 2 compartimentos disponibles también sin lujos a un precio muy razonable si prefiere mantener su carpa seca. Servido por un cuarto húmedo con ducha individual, WC y lavabo. El aparcamiento nunca fue un problema y también hay un gran aparcamiento gratuito directamente al otro lado de la calle.Variedad de opciones de desayuno disponibles según su apetito con horarios negociables, pero generalmente se sirven alrededor de las 8:30 a.m. Elección de comidas durante el día que figuran en la pizarra con algún especial ocasional. Todo tenía un precio razonable. De especial interés fue el esfuerzo de Sharon para evitar que sintiéramos nostalgia al hacernos un "Parmo caliente de Teesside" una noche. También tuvimos problemas con el coche una noche, lo que significa que no regresamos al pub hasta casi la medianoche. Mark accedió a servirnos algunas comidas que recalentó cuando llegamos y mantuvo la barra abierta para permitirnos tomar algunas pintas antes de acostarnos. Mark se ofreció a ayudarnos a recuperar un automóvil varado que no era necesario, pero que, sin embargo, fue una oferta fantástica y nos dirigió a un taller local para recibir asesoramiento sobre reparaciones. Fue agradable sentir que tuvo ayuda y apoyo si es necesario y fue muy apreciado.El pub se encuentra en la ruta Wainwright Coast to Coast y están preparados para ayudar a los caminantes y ciclistas. Ofrecen servicio de lavandería. El orgullo y la alegría de Mark es el fuego del pub que arde las 24 horas del día, los 7 días de la semana y se aprovecha para secar las tiendas y las botas.Los lugareños que usaban el pub eran muy amables y serviciales también. Las restricciones de COVID lo han convertido en un momento muy desafiante para los pubs, pero Mark y Sharon merecen tener éxito y les deseo todo lo mejor.

No puedo hablar maravillas del Crown Inn. mi pareja y yo cenamos dos veces allí durante una estancia en un hotel en Shap. Mark y Sharon fueron brillantes, muy amables, educados y acogedores. Recomiendo mucho este pub. 5 estrellas para mí y Ola. Definitivamente cenaremos allí nuevamente en un futuro no muy lejano. Gracias Mark y Sharon.Saludos cordiales,Andy

A great place to sit outside for our morning coffee. We are currently house hunting in Shap. So, this could become our local soon!

Guess if you rely on passing trade with low likelihood of a return visit you need make no effort at all and that is clearly the approach taken here. Orange juice and lemonade ordered; 50:50 orange squash and room temperature tap water delivered. Suggest you get some cans from the co-op if you want a refreshing drink. Place was as unwelcoming as it is possible to make it. Maybe we just had an off-day but the barman did not give the impression he gave a damn. Not cheap either!

We came camping for 4 nights. Booking was easy and Sharon answered promptly to my questions. A thing to note that this is a pub garden offering basic camping. No electric hook up and no hot water except the shower. There is one toilet and one shower. The garden is best suited to walkers and cyclists with small tents. Our 4 man tent took up a third of the space. A laundry service is offered.We had a hearty breakfast each morning and Sharon does the cooking, she can tailor make your breakfast. Mark is a good host. He can be found in the bar at most times. Food is available throughout the day. Close to Penrith, Pooley Bridge, Keswick and Kendal but the whole of the Lakes are close enough for a day trip and Sharon can supply a packed lunch if you want one.

I was doing a long distance walk and just turned up on the off chance, to pitch a tent for a few nights and Mark the landlord said no problem, although its obviously better to pre-book to be sure. A lucky break as the Crown proved to be an unexpectedly pleasant surprise.Only a small camping area, but very reasonably priced and a good shower and toilet facility adjacent. Also 2 small "Hobbit pods" which would be great if raining and you didn't want to get your tent wet.There is a good selection of beers and Mark takes a pride in looking after them and serving a good pint.I visited during Covid, so the menu was limited and basic, but good quality (better chips than the award winning chippy down the road!) and very reasonably priced. The all day breakfast will certainly keep you going!Mark and Sharon can't do enough to make you welcome and be helpfull. Mark went out of his way to help me out when I had transport difficulties for example.Early breakfast is available if you want it, as is a packed lunch.They also provide an overnight laundry service, which could be a gift for long distance walkers.You should definately consider the Crown if you are doing the Coast to Coast or just passing through as you can't really fault it.O

Lovely food, excellent customer service and a very good guiness. Breakfast available which was also delicious. Highly recommend.

Stopped here on the return from a long bike ride. We were made to feel very welcome, with a table cleared by the fire. The food was excellent. I had one of the best stews I have ever had. Proper home cooking and really filling. The owners where really friendly and I will be back.

Stopped in on Sunday after a day on the fells, we were obviously not local but were made very welcome by the staff and other customers and everyone made a fuss of our dog.The huge portion of leek, potato and bacon hotpot was exactly what we needed, probably had about 1000 calories in it, I’ll be back for more another time though.

Hizo que nuestra fiesta de diez, incluidos niños pequeños y dos perros, fuera muy bienvenida durante dos días, la comida era excelente, el servicio era bueno, el ambiente era cálido y acogedor, recomiendo su visita, sin duda volveremos cuando esté en la zona. , los anfitriones se propusieron acomodarnos.

Estábamos en una parada de una noche en Shap y después de leer TripAdvisor decidimos ir a Tge Crown para nuestra cena. Ah, no decepcionó a las personas amables y encantadoras, muy bienvenidos desde el principio, tuvimos una comida encantadora un curry Balti. . . Lozano. Recomiendo encarecidamente este pequeño pub encantador con gente encantadora

Visitamos el pub con la familia para una comida de fiesta de cumpleaños número 18, la comida era fantástica, muy acogedor, el propietario y la casera nos hicieron sentir muy bienvenidos con nuestros 2 hijos pequeños. La cena de carne asada se derritió en la boca con un gran budín de Yorkshire, excelente elección de postres también

Food average but nice little pub, nice pint and a friendly landlord and landlady. Had some entertaining games of pool with the landlord. I would recommend a visit if your ever in the area.

Decididos a no gastar más dinero en nuestro alojamiento caro y estafa en The Greyhound, nos aventuramos a lo largo de la fría y oscura calle principal de Año Nuevo Shap para encontrar comida y bondad humana. Resulta que deberíamos haber ido a la cálida, amigable y práctica experiencia de The Crown Inn todo el tiempo. El fuego estaba encendido, Crocadile Dundee estaba en la televisión, la comida casera real, a buen precio, sin tonterías vino con una sonrisa, buena cerveza y una risa reet nos alegraron de lo que había sido un Año Nuevo memorable (por todas las razones equivocadas) Déjate caer en el otro lugar. Sharon incluso nos dio su número de teléfono por si el desayuno del día siguiente no se materializaba. ¡Iré a Shap nuevamente e iré directamente aquí primero para el Leek and Bacon Hotpot! Mezzin!

i camped here 4 times this year while on the coast to coast,mark and sharon couldn`t do enough for me or any of the other overnight campers. the camping pitch is a rare one its flat,toilet and shower available,it also has 2 pods for hire.best phone early to get one.the food is excellent my favourite is the chicken and bacon hotpot..the english breakfast is a must to get you on your way..there is a good selection of ales,and the locals are very friendly like angela and lee, and of course rowan and her dad derek who both can neck thier ales..mark and sharon have made this my favourite campsite en route.see you all may next year albyx

Mark & Sharon were so welcoming. Cooked for us when we arrived after a long journey. Making us feel very welcome. Great local pub, very good beer & food. Gave us local walks & information on the Lakes. Very importantly they made our dog Marty so welcome!! Sharon makes a mean hot chocolate. Thank you both x

Mi esposo y yo vinimos a Shap por un par de días para celebrar mi cumpleaños. Llegué demasiado temprano para registrarnos en el hotel, así que conduje por el pueblo y vi la corona. Llamé a tomar una cerveza para matar el tiempo hasta que pudiéramos registrarnos.Mark, el propietario fue muy acogedor y nos sentimos como en casa de inmediato. Terminé tomando otra bebida y me dieron mucha información sobre los paseos locales de la casera Sharon. La pareja de locales en el bar también fue muy amable y hablador.Regresamos la noche siguiente después de hacer una de las caminatas y de comer ya que era mi cumpleaños. Hermosa comida y a un precio muy razonable. Recomiendo encarecidamente a cualquiera que visite The Crown si en Shap. Ciertamente lo haremos en el futuro. . quizás en el verano cuando hace más calor, para que podamos disfrutar del área exterior. Sigan con el buen trabajo de Mark y Sharon. Tienes un lugar pequeño y encantador. Espero verte de nuevo en el futuro y todo lo mejor para los dos.Sharon y Steve (Runcorn)

My trip to this pub was second to none. Rang to ask if I could park on there car park in my vw camper spoke to landlady Sharon not a problem. So I arrived parked up straight in and like I said the Guinness is the best kept pint I've had apart from Ireland. Then I had Cumbernauld sausage chips and egg once again never have I tasted sausage like this... Also fresh cut chips lol and fresh egg 1st class service and food. Just having the belly buster breakfast Sharon cooking it as we speak and ill say no more because it will be the best grub I have had for a while and very reasonable priced. Thank you talk to much PAUL.JUST COME AND TRY FOR YOURSELFS.

Great service from the friendly landlord and landlady. Extremely dog friendly. The home made bacon and leek hotspot was delicious.

L'accueil est chalereux , la nourriture est très bonne et locale.

We visited the Crown after a very wet and windy day, fortunately it is only 5mins walk from where we were staying. We were welcomed warmly by the landlord ( landlady in the kitchen!) Lovely local ale on offer, we all chose from the specials menu, locally sourced Cumberland sausage with delicious sauces and good mash &peas; , daughter #2 had the pan fried chicken breast with tagliatelle and a Parmesan balsamic sauce .. which vanished rather rapidly! So full we didn’t ask about pud! Good pub grub well done. Thank you x

Tebay services were heaving. So took a chance and headed for Shap. What a find👍🏼👌🏻open from 9am. Best breakfast and a good size mug of coffee

Agosto: en un paseo en bicicleta de 2 días, el día 2 estaba mojado, nos empapamos y enfriamos cuando el viento nos golpeó en Shap. Nos refugiamos en The Castle Inn, nos ofrecieron una cálida bienvenida, amontonados alrededor del fuego con ropa empapada. Vivimos a unas 20 millas de Shap: al ver la edad de los niños, la casera nos ofreció llevarnos a casa y regresar a recoger bicicletas. Un completo regalo del cielo. Definitivamente volveremos y lo recomendaremos: la sopa era magnífica, la comida se veía genial y me encantó el ambiente tradicional de un pub británico. Vainas para acampar, espacio para carpas y un acogedor salón de té en la parte trasera. Ideal para caminantes y ciclistas.

We needed a quick bite before attending a wedding nearby. We chose the medium all day breakfast. Good homemade cooking, typical pub menu and items on the menu looked good from what others in the pub told us.

Nos alojamos aquí una noche mientras caminábamos de costa a costa, los anfitriones son geniales y no pueden hacer lo suficiente para ti. Me alojé en una de las cápsulas, que son cómodas y cambiamos la tienda, las instalaciones son excelentes, hay una buena ducha y una zona de descanso encantadora para relajarse, la comida es casera y es genial. No puedo criticar este pub, no es su pub ultra moderno, solo un pub tradicional con una pareja encantadora que lo maneja y encantadores bebedores locales, usted recibe una gran bienvenida. Foto de la vaina en la que dormí.

We had a lovely welcome stop for refreshing drink at the Crown Inn from the new owners. Special mention for the homemade chocolate fudge brownie!

I arrived as a wet cyclist and the pub was cosy, warm and welcoming.

We stayed here for 1 night in the double and single pod which are like make shift tents we got a very warm welcome from the owners and they let us use their extension to put out blow up beds in pods and also allowed my daughter to watch love island in the bar and us to eat our tea from the local chippy in there restaurant lovely couple who made us feel very welcome and cooked us a lovely full English this morning to soak up our alcohol haha thanks for having us Sharyn and mark from linzi x

Sheltering from the rain, we popped in for a pot of coffee and piece of cake. Warm, friendly atmosphere, cosy room, light and airy. Just the place for a quiet chat with friends and a good snack. We will be back with friends next week . And a get together for a tasty home made meal.

Absolutely amazing home cooked food, had the pan fried chicken with mushroom and mash potatoe and was “lush” went back the morning after for a buster breakfast and wow huge and tasty, Landlord is real friendly and very accommodating.

Lovely little pub, food absolutely delicious, very welcoming and a cosy atmosphere. Well done guys :)

the landlord and landlady couldn't have been more welcoming a great couple .a really great freindly place , they told us that they had not been in the pub very long but we wish them all the best of luck but with meals like this they wont need luck . fantastic .

Food is so good. Honestly can not recommend the veggie lasagne enough! Homemade chips are beautiful and it’s all very fairly priced. New owners are so friendly and goes out of their way to help. Would recommend.

Llegamos después del almuerzo después de ciclismo sobre Shap; Estábamos hambrientos. El propietario y su esposa fueron muy acogedores y el pub se siente como un lugar genuino que se preocupa y no tiene pretensiones. Crujieron un poco de queso y cebolla tostadas, simplemente perfecto. Los chips eran mejores que perfectos. No, no es una fantasía de Jamie Oliver, pero Jamie podría aprender algo de ellos. Buena cerveza también. Me gustaría decir que volveré, ¡pero no es tan frecuente que recorra el Shap desde que comencé desde Land's End!

We popped in today ( bank Holiday Monday) and the guy behind the bar was really helpful, my lasagne was fab and well priced, my boyfriend loved his all day breakfast and we just really enjoyed it. We will be back again. Thank you

Lovely warm welcome from the landlord and landlady as well as a lovely fire. This pub is so clean - everything sparkles. The toilets are spotless (up 3 stairs, which might be an issue for people who have mobility problems). There is a pool table and darts board. Food is served at lunch and dinner. The pub offers camping and camping pods.

we thought we would try somewhere local for our meal and heard that someone from Shap had taken over the pub. About eight of us had a lovely meal. I had the chicken in a sauce others had lasagne, ham or gammon. A few of us had sweets. The main courses were home made I think the sweets must have been bought in but for a couple just starting up I think they are doing well. The staff were all friendly and helpful. Good luck with your new venture.

It's been cold and snowy all day here, what better day for a crown belly buster to keep out the chill mmm mm

A fantastic celebration evening with the new landlord Mark and landlady Sharon in our local pub.

Food was excellent - huge plate of gammon and real chips. Lovely friendly hosts. We live local and will definitely be coming back.

Acabo de pedir una pinta, a media tarde, fuego de carbón en la parrilla dando un caluroso bienvenida en un día de enero. No comí esta vez, pero el menú en la pared era comida clásica de pub -

Además de la estrella Michelin, Kitchen W 8 y Cork and Clam en Donny Market, este es el MEJOR restaurante que he visitado este año. Mucho más que un café. . . . Es una salida también. . . Ellos hacen su propia cocción y una serie de comidas especiales diarias. Justificadamente popular pero tremendamente valioso, vale la pena una visita, aunque solo sea por el encantador personal y Derek, el cocinero / propietario. 6 estrellas sin puerta! !

We stayed here in our motorhome for two nights, owners are lovely people , would definitely go back, friendly people & a lovely village

New Management. Sharon & Mark. Food served daily. 4 legged friends welcome. Glowing fire, a happy atmosphere and locals.

As a party of eleven, with a dog we doubted we would get a table inside - the manager very quickly sorted out a space for us that didn't put out other customers. Food was served with good attention to special requests (ie child with a passion for peeled cucumber served with his fish fingers) One of the party had an excellent Lasagne , others had spicy chicken wraps, scampi , deep fried brie etc. The sticky toffee pudding was brilliant! The staff were very attentive and friendly - couldn't fault it!

This was our second visit to this pub on route to Scotland, it's a really cosy pub with a roaring fire to keep out the cold. The staff are very friendly and we were looked after very much. No food served in the winter months but a great chippy a short walk away.

We had excellent food for a great price. Welcoming locals and staff. Pool table in separate room. I had the asparagus and leek crumble in a 4 cheese sauce. Loved it and made it at home as I liked it so much. A friend had the burger with bacon - he said it was lovely. My partner had the pie of the day - also very nice. Would recommend a visit if you are nearby

Vinimos aquí para conseguir una pinta o dos y nos presentamos y había muchos displicente, folk, la única persona amable fue la licitación. Pedimos un juego de billar y nos negaron, no muy contento. Aunque el pub era un sitio precioso

Como los dueños de perros alojados en la zona, habíamos visitado un poco tratando de encontrar un pub para cenar, y el Crown Inn nos enorgulleció. Sí, es un poco anticuado y necesita una mejor decoración, pero la comida estaba bien y la bienvenida agradable, aunque entiendo el horno murió poco después de las comidas, lo servían una mesa de 4-5 folk tuvimos que salir poco después de llegar. Que hubiera sido decepcionante si eso había sido nosotros.

We visited Shap village during an event that was taking place there. We were staying at a campsite in the village but thought we would explore the local pubs. The first night we only had a couple of drinks as we were competing the next day. The pub wasn't overly busy but we just didn't feel welcome at all. We quickly found that the most drunk person was actually the chef and rude doesn't even come close. So we decided to move on. The next night we were ready to let our hair down as such, there was a marquee and DJ on at the other pub but this soon ended and we were looking for somewhere to carry on the party. Most people were heading for the Crown Inn, so we decided to tag along. We were not felt welcome from the moment we walked in and overheard the apparent landlord having a go at someone for drinking in another pub. The night just got worse the locals didn't make us feel welcome at all and there was a certain few that seemed all they wanted was an altercation.We headed home and when we woke up and spoke to a few around the campsite it seemed we had left at the right time and the locals got what they wanted in the end.

Paramos aquí para cenar después de un largo día en la C 2 c . La zona exterior estaba extremadamente sucio con basura y tabaco de cigarro por todos lados. Decidimos cenar dentro y otra vez una sensación que el lugar podría hacer una buena limpieza. La comida estaba bien, al menos había una lasaña vegetariana (pero servido con patatas fritas??). El servicio era amable y no tuvimos que esperar mucho tiempo para la comida. Los precios eran razonables y fue genial que pudimos disfrutar de la cena eran otros lugares cerrados.

Después de viajar desde Manchester, decidimos parar por comida y una bebida. Nos hicieron sentir muy bienvenidos con personal amable. El servicio era muy bueno y el personal del bar era muy amable y cortés. La comida era absolutamente hermosa, nos despejaron los platos y como era un gran grupo de 13 personas de mezcla niños y adultos estaba muy caliente y muy agradable. Todos nos comentábamos la buena y servicio y pasado nuestras felicitaciones al chef. Sin duda volveremos en nuestro próximo viaje allí, altamente recomendado.

Called in to the crown inn for Sunday lunch .The staff were welcoming and friendly the food was excellent.will definitely call in again when passing for a great traditional pub meal .

Después de un duro día andando haciendo la costa a costa nos pare aquí y tuvimos una excelente comida. El personal y la gente era muy amable y servicial, y decidimos acampar. Entonces nos dijo la señora encantador bar podríamos estar en la caravana, ya que estaba lloviendo. También teníamos una ducha caliente que era muy necesario después de nuestra caminata. Recomiendo este pub de la costa a costa a pie!!

Grosero, moody y seco camarera personal joven, peculiar y fuerte.

Estaba realmente decepcionado con el servicio que recibimos durante nuestra visita esta vez. La comida estaba lejos de fresco, era insípida y el lugar estaba a menos acogedor. Esta fue nuestra segunda visita, el año pasado fue todo lo contrario, era muy triste no llegar...

Het eten is niet bijzonder goed. Toen wij er waren, was er een voetbalwedstrijd. De gasten stoorden zich zichtbaar aan etende gasten.

Ate here tonight. We were so desperate that I overlooked the Royston Vasey similarities and the foul mouthed locals propping up the bar. The meals and drinks are very reasonably priced. Unfortunately the kids pizza was overcooked and the salad was brown on the edges with coleslaw that looked less than fresh. Luckily said child was on a walk to pass away the 35 mins we waited for meal. Veggie daughter was happy with her tandoori veggie dish, so there is a bonus. The gammon was tasty but more like thick slices bacon, chips were frozen. I would not recommend this place for food.

This was our first stop on arrival in Shap on Saturday having walked the C2C from Patterdale, primarily for a much needed pint but also with a view to checking it out for dinner. The beer and service were both OK, but the environment (large TV screens showing sport, lots of noise, etc.) was not really what we wanted for the evening so we opted to eat elsewhere.

Called in for a drink whilst staying in Shap. The people were very friendly and there was a roaring fire to keep us warm.

We called in Shap on our way up to Scotland and on the way back. Lovely friendly pub, nice log fire to keep you warm in the winter.

We were staying in a local B&B and decided to eat in the nearest pub. Although not extensive, there was enough on the menu to tempt anyone. The food was reasonably priced and good portions. We were made very welcome by a local called John who kept us amused for an hour.
