Fetherston Arms in Eden

Fabulous food, both evenings (Pie night Thursday) and Sunday lunch. Probably the best Sunday lunch ever, and excellent beers on tap. Overall a great pub and looking forward to our next visit later in the year.

Great pub. Good was outstanding, possibly one of the nicest fish pies I've had. Staff very friendly. Would definitely recommend a visit.

A pub that always delivers every time! Friendly staff with a warm welcome and food that is always consistently good, not to mention the excellent choice of drinks on offer! If you're planning a visit to the area make sure you give this place a try, 10/10 every time.

Lovely atmosphere, food was great and very reasonable prices. Would recommend, we were there on a Thursday which was pie night and they were delicious.

We had a lovely experience as the campsite owner managed to book us a table here, it was ready as we got there with lovely staff. Food was incredible, I had the pie with 3 types of pork in it and I’d cycle all the back tonight from Newcastle to have it again! Will definitely return if I’m ever back in the area.

Amazing all round ,couldn’t fault anything ,don’t miss this place ,it’s a real gem . The food was amazing,as was the service and surroundings, great atmosphere in a proper country pub . Thankyou

Friendly local with a large beer garden. Lovely food and good beer. Wine chilled properly too. Canine friendly. Doug the dog even given his own personal water bowl 😀

Lovely little pub which was very friendly and great staff in a quaint village. Had booked online for pie night (Thursdays) on recommendation from a friend,was not disappointed, my wife and myself both had the MOO BLUE (steak & stilton pie) which was rammed from top to bottom with beef and was delicious, my daughter had fish and chips which was equally as good. Would 100% recommend to anyone and will definitely be back. Only downside is parking near the pub its very limited but its no big deal.

We had booked a table in advance for mid afternoon on a Sunday . We arrived early so had a drink near the bar whilst we waited for our table. It was busy so when we came to order the food one of the main course specials was no longer available, so my daughter had to choose an alternative, but that was the only downside to our visit. We didn't have to wait long for the starters or the mains to arrive. All the meals were well presented, served hot and very tasty. The staff were friendly and brought extra drinks when needed. Good value for money.

Highly recommend. High quality food at a reasonable price. Lovely staff and great atmosphere. Good size portions and lots of options

Wow… what an incredible little find this pub was. We were staying around 20mins away in Ullswater and having travelled up from the Midlands on a Sunday we knew a traditional Sunday Lunch was required and this place did not disappoint. A very friendly welcome from the moment we walked through the door and a great selection of drinks. They managed to move things around as we arrived 45mins early however this was no problem at all. The food was amazing, big portions and very tasty. We barely had any room left for a pudding however when the menus were brought over we couldn’t say no. Two Sunday lunches, two puddings, and a few drinks for a touch over £50 it was excellent value too. We will definitely be back in the future and recommend this to anyone in the Lake District who would like a lovely meal especially on a Sunday!!

We ate here twice over the Easter weekend and both meals were exceptional, particularly the Sunday roast. Had dover sole goujons to start, followed by lamb and beef. Fantastic big Yorkshire pudds and beautiful little individual cauliflower cheese made for such a lovely meal. The bar and waiting staff are all wonderful. If only this was on my doorstep! Do book though as it is super popular. Also if you get chance to sit outside before your meal its lovely watching countryside life roll by in various farm machines. Well done all.

What a lovely find! Staying at a local Airb&b and wanted some proper home made fresh food! This place was exactly that! the food was amazing! Staff were super friendly, we will definitely be coming back and 100% recommend to anyone.

Consistently great food and service. Always welcoming and friendly staff. The food is always to a high standard. Lucky to live in the locality.

Always consistent good quality food and excellent value. Service good with friendly bar and waiting on staff. Excellent sized portions.

Excellent Sunday lunch, the belly pork and chocolate fondant were amazing. The food standard was very high which was not reflected in the price which is very reasonable. All of the staff are friendly and welcoming and we will definitely be returning.

Went for early birthday meal Sunday lunch. 3 courses all tasty high quality. Friendly welcoming staff. Will return again😊

What a beautiful treasure of a pub! We had a pie each the day before new years eve and wow- best pie ever! Dog friendly, great selection of hand pulled beers and friendly welcoming staff. Can’t wait to go again before we go home

The food was tremendous. I had a taste of pork, but others had Roast Lamb, and it was the same. Great portions, perfectly cooked and beautifully presented. The Ribblehead Bitter went down well. Good service, too, with a fussy eater being accommodated positively. Can't think of a better place for a Sunday lunch on Grandpa's birthday. (91)

Unbelievable from start to finish on our Friday evening supper. Busy and very vibrate pub which was great to see, friendly service & bar staff, tremendous food, and left very very happy 😃 I would recommend pre booking a table but you won’t be disappointed 🙏🏻 Keep you the great work

The Fetherston Arms is a pub that always delivers! Excellent food, but be aware, the portions are large and hearty. The service, always first class with a welcoming smile from the minute you walk in, attention from the staff for your orders without chasing them. The atmosphere, friendly and warm. I can't recommend this pub enough, all I would say, make sure you book well in advance so you're not disappointed as its always busy and fully booked. 10/10.

Highly recommend Great homemade food Definitely book! Highly recommend roast pork, roast beef , roast brisketand the fish and chips Huge portions sorry we missed out on dessert the cheesecake looked amazing

Lovely, friendly place. Beer was excellent and the food was better. Garden area at the rear was a perfect place to relax with the dog. I'll definitely be back

I must admit this is my "local" but hadn't had the roast beef dinner for a year or so. I wasn't disappointed plenty of tender beef and an excellent selection of veg not presented in the modern lightly boiled style. Price was very reasonable considering the quality of the food.

Best Sunday lunch anywhere. Worth the trip out. Mains and desserts fantastic and excellent value for money.

Very enjoyable meal. Food excellent . Spoilt for choice on the menu. Great service, atmosphere. Very popular, advice booking

Just walked in after a little walk around the village and the next one too. They were fully booked for food but they made the space for me and my better half and gave us a table for 2 The food was exceptional, the price was fantastic and the service was brilliant. The whole experience was warm, friendly and very inviting. Most definitely will be going back and I will definitely recommend The Fetherston Arms for a good pint, atmosphere and food. All at a good price, the whole experience was wonderful.

Having been staying nearby we had driven past a number of times and decided to eat here on our last night. Proper pub food. Good menu. Good service. Very reasonably priced. Big portions. Just what we were looking for. Best to book to avoid disappointment, but worth a visit. Thursday night is pie night too.

Visited for a family meal. Staff are really friendly, service is excellent and the food is amazing. I would really recommend the pies, they are the best we had ever tasted! Thanks 😊

In a nutshell there isn't anywhere better in Cumbria for friendly service, delicious barmeals and not forgetting an excellent selection of well kept real ales. Last night there were five real ales to choose from, my favourite! 'Singletrack' (Kirkby Lonsdale brewery's top ale imho), Pennine...

Visited on Pie night, excellent pies and great value. Service was very attentive. Would highly recommend if in the area, especially Pie night (Thursday)

Great place and popular. Must book for a neal. Thursday is pie night. They serve large portions. I had the seafood pie, it was full of salmon, prawns etc. My friend had the vegan burger and found it delicious. Look forward to returning here.

Make sure you reserve a table, a great sign that you are in for great food and excellent service. Usually poor staff spoil great food, not in this case, city standard food and service from a country pub, well done everybody, first class 👍

Wonderful food, massive portions, friendly staff. Highly recommended. Clearly very popular which usually means they're doing something right.

Just wonderful all round Waited a long time to go here!! Well worth the wait!! The food, the service, the atmosphere- great!!

Being in the area for a couple of days we kept hearing about this fantastic pub in Kirkoswald, so we booked a table . Within one minute of walking through the door we have been asked if we have a reservation and what drinks we...

Visited today and as usual the service and food were excellent this is my family's go to pub where we know we will not be disappointed best food in the area.

Early November Sunday afternoon, up from S Devon for our Wedding Anniversary. Check TA for options. This gorgeous Pub a total winner. Lovely vibe, friendly staff, superb roast Beef and Lamb, dig friendly too. Thanks all involved, just brilliant !

Quite simply the best Sunday roast i have had in years. The beef was melt-in-the-mouth tender, the potatoes - roast and mashed - soaked up the meaty and flavoursome gravy, the creamed cabbage was stunning (and I hate cabbage!), and the wee pot of cauliflower...

So good ....we ate there twice in 3 days!! Pies are to die for...!! Excellent staff and good selection of local beers. Looking forward to coming back soon.

What a great place to have a meal. Staff and service first class, very friendly, dogs welcomed and adored, food and beer excellent, prices very reasonable. Don't miss it!

You MUST book a table for their pie night on a Thursday. It was the best meal we have had in a very long time. The portions were generous, super fresh and completely delicious. Dessert was also incredible. Service was great even though they were...

Great choice of ales, and all were lovely. Can recommend the pies, food amazing, dog friendly, helpful friendly staff,nice locals. Massive beer garden.

We ate at this pub during our holiday in the Lake District and it was first class. The lady behind the bar was friendly and welcoming and the young man and young ladies serving were fabulous. The food was amazing and such good value for money. We will definitely visit again when we are in the area.

I went for a family meal and had the Homity pie, it was one of the best vegetarian pies I've had in a long time. The staff were really friendly, and they're obviously popular as it was booked up. Very scenic village.

Staff are very friendly and the service is outstanding, ordered steak and mince pie and I would go as far as to say within the top 3 pies I’ve ever had, piping hot great veg and lovely gravy, couldn’t fit a desert in far to full, great selection of beers and all reasonably priced, keep up the good work

Great food- good quality and choice for pub grub. Plus friendly professional and speedy service. It was pie night, and we had the best pie ever! We will return next time we are nearby.

It's not easy to find a great Sunday lunch near Penrith but this was really lovely. We sat outside in the sunshine, the food was delicious and the staff were helpful. We will definitely be back. Thank you!

Food was fantastic. Good selection to choose from. Staff very pleased and helpful. We were made welcome as soon as we stepped inside. Highly recommended.

We visit Cumbria quite a few times a year covid permitting of course, and each time we do we always have pie night at the Fethers, The food is consistently amazing and if you have one of their pies, no other pie will ever be good enough. The staf are really friendly and service is brilliant, they are dog friendly too. There is a good variety of food on offer, something to suit all pallets.

With friends - staying at Howscales Cottages. We booked ahead as we heard that pie night was popular - everyone but one enjoyed a pie and the steak was cooked beautifully. Friendly service and all felt very safe.

There’s no need to think about what starters or puddings you’re after as the mains will be enough to keep you going for a week. The staff treat you like royalty and nothing’s to much trouble.The ambience of the place is great, would recommend strongly that you consider this place for your next meal out.

We all loved this pub. The food, service and surroundings were all equally fanatic. Wonderful Sunday roast, generous portions and great variety on the veg front. Dogs welcomed and loved it too - separate area to the non dog owners a great idea.

Reservé para almorzar en Fetherston Arms como había estado allí antes y recibí un servicio y comida maravillosos, y esta visita no fue una excepción. El pastel de bistec con cerveza era uno de los mejores que he probado, ¡y el pescado y las patatas fritas eran increíbles! ! La camarera fue muy atenta y no tuve que preocuparme por el distanciamiento social, ellos tenían todos los aspectos de seguridad cubiertos. Sin duda volveremos de nuevo.

Lovely meal in a great setting. Kids adored the toad in a hole and we enjoyed the pies. Lemon sorbet is also delicious. Make sure you book in advance. The staff are very friendly and efficient.

Estuvimos muy contentos de verlos abiertos nuevamente después del cierre. Se han implementado medidas de prevención de covid y los camareros llevan máscaras. Se pide a los apostadores que no ronden la barra. Algunas mesas se han eliminado para permitir un espacio adicional y el pub solo ofrece comidas los jueves, viernes y sábados, además del almuerzo del domingo, por lo que es aún más importante reservar. Consulte sus páginas web. El encantador personal, la comida de alta calidad y la selección de excelentes cervezas siguen poniendo el listón muy alto. Nunca hemos encontrado un lugar mejor y es comprensible que siempre estén ocupados.

Vinieron por comida, justo cuando habían dejado de servir, ¡pero se mantuvieron abiertos para nosotros un poco más para que pudiéramos comer! - ¡Vinimos con nuestro cachorro que nunca antes había estado en ese entorno y fue realmente complaciente y muy amigable! !La comida era increíble: la primera vez que veo a mi hijo devorar una comidaNos alojamos en la granja de Mains en la misma calle, sin duda volveremos en nuestra próxima estancia y lo recomendaría al 100% a cualquiera. ! ! !

Nos estábamos quedando cerca y después de mirar las críticas anteriores, decidimos reservar para una comida. El personal nos pareció muy amable y educado y la comida fantástica. Estuvimos allí en la "noche de la tarta" y mi tarta de bistec y cerveza estaba absolutamente deliciosa. El pastel estaba lleno de deliciosa carne magra y las verduras al lado también eran buenas. Éramos 6 y todos disfrutamos mucho de lo que teníamos. Recomendaría mucho este lugar.

A warm welcome as usual, and a fantastic Sunday Roast! Very impressed by the Pork Belly Roast, there as so much food and it was a bargain too. This is a very quaint pub with fantastic staff, we’ll be back Thanks

I recently moved back to Kirkoswald, and am a regular in this pub. I went in for their Thursday night Pie Night yesterday, and it was just as excellent as always. They have an excellent selection of real ales, and friendly and attentive staff behind the bar and waiting on the tables. Fantastic homemade food, cannot recommend the place highly enough.

OK, somos asiduos durante años, nunca más que maravilloso. El 17 de enero, mi esposa y mi familia fueron a celebrar nuestra boda de oro, esta noche fue excepcional, incluso por su calificación habitual de cinco estrellas, todo el personal es muy bueno, el ambiente excelente y la comida de primera clase. Gracias a todos por una noche maravillosa, ¡hasta pronto! ! ! !

We came down from Staffield on our last night in the Lake District. 6 of us. The pub is very cute and countryside sidy, we had dinner, pork tasting menu, lamb, and pies! Everything was delicious. Even the desserts - have a sticky toffy

Nice tasty food Good staff Nice bar Good beer Pleasant bar lady Only pitfall is a bit pricey Enjoyable though , we will return

Visité durante su estancia en Glassonby cerca. Gran pub local que hace que los visitantes sean bienvenidos. La comida estuvo grandiosa. Un plato de degustación de cerdo, salchichas y puré y un risotto de champiñones. Asegúrate de tener hambre ya que las porciones son generosas. Terminado con algunos buenos postres. Precios razonables y servicio amable y eficiente. Completamente recomendado.

A great pub serving a good selection of real ales and lovely food. We had their homemade pies which were gorgeous - some of them best pub food I've had in years.

We recently used Kirkoswald as a base for our walking holiday in the Lake District and were delighted to find that the village has 2 pubs in very close proximity to one another. The Fetherston Arms was recommended to us by the owners of the cottage that we were staying in and boy were they spot on. Friendly and welcoming staff & locals, a great choice of real ales (and wines/lagers for those so inclined), delicious home cooked food from a decent menu and dog friendly to boot, so we absolutely couldn't fault the place (so much so that we ate there 3 times whilst we were there). Only one word of caution in that they don't serve food on Mondays and/or Tuesdays, though the other pub across the road does (alas we didn't use that one because they didn't accept dogs, so are unable to comment).

Very friendly welcoming staff,cracking pint of plover ale,morretti on draught,belting food,dog friendly, what's not to like!

A group of us stopped here after a walk and spent a most enjoyable afternoon in the main bar. Amazing prices and generous glasses of prosecco. Good range of beers. Staff really engaged and when I left my glasses behind, they posted them home to me. Will be back next time I am in the Lake District.

This place is just excellent. From walking in, we were made very welcome. Nothing too much trouble for staff waiting on. Food delicious, not too overpriced and just brilliant. Why can't everywhere be as good as this?? Well done Fetherston Arms

We went for lunch in August and had a lovely meal there were eight of us and everyone loved their meal, the pies were fantastic but only for the big apatite .very good service and prices reasoable

Booked a table for an evening meal midweek - there is an area in the bar that is set aside for customers with dogs. I had the fish pie which was the best fish pie I have EVER had! My husband had the beef and Stilton pie which he said was delicious. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. So lovely to go out for a meal, be able to take the dog, and have a very comfortable area in which to eat.

Thoroughly enjoyed the food when we visited. Pies are amazing and portions are good too. I would like to add photos but food was too good to leave alone. Kudos to the kitchen

Couldn't recommend this place enough. If only have short time in lakes. Prioritise this place. Lovely building and welcoming atmosphere. Wont feel out of place dressed up or down. The food quality is amazing coming from a foodie and quantity is great too. Literally best roast dinner and pie ever had which is a big shout and not taking lightly.

Been here last 2 nights during a short stay in the area. Lovely atmosphere, food wise only had a takeaway 1st night and was lovely. Restaurant food coming out looked amazing. Obviously a popular spot as was busy both nights. Staff were so friendly and was a joy watching them work as a team and also having fun. Credit to the Industry. Will definitely return if ever back in the area.

Table for 4 booked along with 3 terriers, pie night....awesome.

We ate here tonight with friends who had been here before and said it was good. It was pie night which was good for my husband who loves homemade pies, he ordered lamb, mint and root vegetable pie and our friend had beef and blue cheese, I had the fish and chips which was huge. The food was outstanding and service excellent I was really impressed and will definitely eat here again and can not recommend it enough if you like good homemade food.

Could not find fault with this place, not that we go looking for fault but when you have experienced this place other offerings become quite poor. The menu is extensive and ultimately means you will have to go more than once or twice to satisfy your taste buds. The children's menu is very good, but the food is not your average child's food, its ample in portion and very well cooked. The adult meal was superb, we did rather push the boat out and had all three courses... that was simply because it all sounded ace. Battered Camembert, A portion of KInd Prawns in butter and garlic (to die for) followed up by a Surf and Turf and a Lamb Henry... we managed to box that off with an Assette of Lemon goodies and A creme-brullie... The food was served promptly and politely. It's an interesting experience and quite refreshing from the usual over priced, mediocre offerings much closer to the Lakes. Well done, we will return soon.

We visited on a quiet Saturday afternoon looking for lunch but arrived during the time where food isn't served - this wasn't a problem as the bartender was super friendly, served us a few pints and booked us a table for later. We had the early menu which was an absolute bargain and the food was superb (amazing fish and chips!). We would have eaten here every meal if we'd been in the town longer - 10/10!

Popped in one Sunday evening whilst staying nearby in self catering accommodation. Both had the Sunday roast which was fantastic. Lots of veg, all hot and well cooked. Definitely recommend.

We dined here on Friday 12 July 2019 and wanted to say what a lovely evening we had. Staff were friendly and helpful, good choice on the menu, and excellent value for money. I had the black pudding and haggis starter which was yummy followed by the fish bake from the spring menu. This was full of fish and very tasty. Hubby had the belly pork and black pudding bon bons from the same menu and he was impressed as well. Great place would highly recommend

Recently stayed at a nearby campsite in Lazonby. We came here as one of the other campers recommended us to do so. The pub was clean and very nice, I’d say it’s maybe been recently refurbished. We all had Halloumi Fries to start and I had the feather blade of beef for main, it fell apart it was so tender. It was brilliant. Other members of our party had a beef burger which looked fantastic and they said it was great. The next day we were hungry and looking to eat out for dinner. We decided we enjoyed our first experience so much we would go back for lunch. I had Chicken Caesar Salad which was brilliant. Will defiantly return if we’re in the area again.

We visited here with my family and were given a lovely warm welcome. The menu is mainly pub grub, but what they do is very high quality. We had quite a variety between us but all thought the food was great. They also have some lovely beers. All in all a great pub which feels like a local but must attract customers from some distance.

Visited with family and ate there twice. All food is delicicious and plenty of it! The steak and ale pie is so tasty i had it both times! Staff are very welcoming and friendly. I would advise you book as it gets busy. Looking forward to going back ..best pub grub ive ever had.
