The Black Cock Inn, Broughton in South Lakeland

Tried to visit this place again after an amazing experience in 2021 and found it’s closed down. Disappointing as was an outstanding place.

I am so disappointed as my children booked this as a 3 night stay for me and my husband and it was cancelled two days before going they have lost there money and had to pay out for another place to send us. Please get back to her with a refund it was just over £200.00 it's wrong to take the money then cancel the booking sort it out please the dates where 3rd march to 6th march.

New Years Day late lunch after a wonderful walk with the dogs. It was exceptionally busy, glad we booked as people could not get a table who walked in. Five of us and our 3 dogs had booked for a late lunch 15.30 and were greeted with wonderful service and made to feel welcome. Even though the lady serving was exceptionally busy she had a smile on her face and time to have the craic. Food was very good (thanks Chef) and dogs also got treats which was a nice touch. Thank you :)

We booked here for Sunday lunch on the recommendation of our campsite owner. This is a lovely small pub in the middle of Broughton, with free parking in the street or the nearby square. There are many low beams so mind your head when moving around. Capacity is limited for meals so it’s almost essential to make a reservation. The landlady is friendly and charming. There is an interesting menu but we had booked for and chose the Sunday roast and the one choice was beef – a good portion, cooked to perfection and served with plentiful vegetables. All delicious. We were tempted to try a dessert – sticky toffee pudding with ice cream for me and just ice cream for my wife. We are on holiday in the area – the locals are lucky to have such a great pub on their doorstep.

Arrived to the pub to be greeted by a member of staff who didn’t have any manners at all, she screamed “have you booked to come in here” said no as didn’t think we’d have to book to come into a pub to have drinks. Said we’d rather go somewhere else for drinks and possibly food to be greeted with staff members that know how to speak to customers. After this it turned out to the manger of the pub. Wouldn’t recommend going here

My wife and I visited for special celebration dinner. I ordered haunch of venison and my wife's second choice was ceaser salad( laugasteins were off the menu). My steak was uneditable and to start with was not offered a steak knife.I was offered another steak or a new order I went with the waitresses suggestion of game pie. This came and the pastry was uncooked and stodgy. The ceaser salad was with the wrong type of lettuce it should have been cos no sign of anchovies and was eventually told it was in the sauce??? Very little sauce was originally supplied and had to ask for more

Friendly lady serving. Great food - we had game sausages, game pie and burger and fries - make sure you’re really hungry as the portions are generous, can’t fault the food. Good prices, and selection of bitters. World recommend and visit again next time I’m on holiday in the area. Very dog friendly.

Stayed for two nights on Winter Deal. Superbly presented food included in the price with good selection. Super dog friendly. My Airedales loved watching the comings and goings on the vibrant street from our bedroom. Warm welcome throughout our stay from Haley and great service from the breakfast lady.

The barmaid was lovely and welcoming and very helpful with local information. The food was incredibly good and great value for money with an excellent range of local real ales and locally sourced produce

Me, my partner and our puppy attended her last night following a recommendation from our air b n b hosts. The food was delicious and the two ladies who served us were amazing! Everything was fresh and arrived within a reasonable time. If this was our local pub we would definitely be regulars. Thanks again for a lovely evening

Went for lunch Wednesday 26th Jan with husband and 2 dogs Welcomed by staff and sat in front of roaring fire Food was excellent game pie and chicken burger.Cant fault it at all.will be back. Very dog friendly.

Loved this pub, real character and an old pub smell. We visited just by chance with kids and dogs it was very quiet but was a soggy monday. Our food was delicious the burgers amazing and i really wasn't expecting it to be so good. I ordered jalfezie chips and they were so good. The only negative was that we ordered dirty fries which never arrived but still tried to charge us for them, no desert menu was offered but we we're way to full for pudding anyway, it didn't spoil our meal. I'd definitely go again if i was local.

We came for a family meal and thoroughly enjoyed every minute! The food is all freshly cooked in house and amazing value for money, not to mention absolutely delicious! We were all so full after our meals so left very happy. The service is absolutely second to none! Literally nothing was too much trouble and we will definitely come back for another meal. Thank you so much to the hosts! Your pub is beautiful and we wish you the very best for the future.

Despite being fully booked and there only being two members of staff present the welcome and service was excellent. The game pie was one of the best I have tasted for a very long time. I’m guessing the two members of staff were the owners so anyone who works that hard to keep their customers satisfied deserves to be fully booked all year round

fantastic old pub. great food and drink. hayley and rob make you feel welcome and always look after you. roast dinner is excellent.

Went here for a birthday meal, the staff were lovely and the place had a great atmosphere. Food was amazing and cooked perfectly. Definitely worth a visit!

Sunday lunchtime so we had the Roast Beef .Meat was delicious and plenty of it. Loads of Veg and two types of spuds. We asked for extra gravy and it was no trouble..Congrats to Rob the Chef and to Hayley and Sarah behind the bar...

We visited this cosy inn on a weekend break to the Lake District the food was definitely outstanding. The game pie in particular was the best we ever had and all sat round a lovely log fire. The bar maid also so nice and welcoming....

Takeaway food was fantastic ! Would highly recommend - yummy game pie & awesome burger. Chips were unforgettable.

Desde fuera, esta antigua posada con vigas en High Street es totalmente poco atractiva y parece gastada. En el interior hay un olor atractivo e impregnado de siglos de humo de leña. Un saludo amistoso de una dama con visera, impecablemente limpia y una atractiva variedad de cervezas, etc. La comida es deliciosa y fue una grata sorpresa. Yo tenía mSopa casera y la fabulosa fuente de carne salada. Guauu !

Managed to book a table this evening, and the steak and ale pie was superb. Home cooked with tender local beef, thick tasty gravy and a lovely pastry crust.

Comí aquí durante su estadía por 3 noches: una cálida bienvenida e interior acogedor en una posada histórica. Lo más destacado fue el venado, que tenía una muy buena relación calidad-precio por la calidad de la carne y lo bien cocinada que estaba. En general, todos los platos estaban a muy buen precio y definitivamente muestra que se obtiene una mejor relación calidad-precio en una parte periférica de los lagos como Broughton en comparación con los principales puntos turísticos; ¡más gente debería visitarla! Otra noche tenía pescado y patatas fritas, también muy bueno, con patatas fritas grandes increíbles.Mis únicas mejoras serían una cerveza de barril adicional o dos, pero aprecio que durante las restricciones de Covid es difícil tener demasiadas en comparación con los números.

Been here for a pint during the day so came back for a meal. Food was great and the service was quick and friendly! Great beer garden for a quick pint, proper suntrap 🌞

Comimos aquí en 3 ocasiones distintas en una visita reciente al valle de Duddon, que refleja la calidad de la comida y el amable personal. Es un menú relativamente sencillo, basado en una selección de clásicos de pub y todo cocinado perfectamente y bien presentado. Un problema con su proveedor nos impidió probar cualquiera de las pizzas y / o panes de ajo, pero las sopas, el cordero, la pierna de venado, el pollo con suero de leche y el pescado y las patatas fritas eran muy sabrosos. Una mención especial para el pastel Steak & Ale, que se encuentra entre los mejores que he probado: abundante carne tierna y una deliciosa salsa espesa y sabrosa. Un agradecimiento especial a Becky, Hayleigh y Josh por cuidarnos tan bien.

Teniendo en cuenta que reservamos esta mesa con una semana de antelación, nos decepcionó amargamente. Estábamos sentados en una mesa pequeña junto a los baños en un pub vacío. La puerta trasera siempre se deja abierta dejándonos helados. El pub estaba sucio y la comida no era excelente. La cabeza del viejo rey en frente era un ambiente mucho mejor.

Encantadora velada en The Black Cock Inn. Llegamos tarde e incluso después de un largo día de trabajo, todavía nos recibieron con caras sonrientes. La comida fue aún mejor con deliciosas hamburguesas, pasteles, entrantes y postres. Todo es un gran lugar para ir si su local en Broughton.

We had a lovely time at the inn, we were greeted by lovely staff who served us very well with the inn’s lovely food. Highly recommend if your in the Lake District.

Excelente comida y servicio anoche para nuestra comida familiar durante las vacaciones en la zona. Gran valor (aunque no fue un día de descuento del 50%) y raciones abundantes. Teníamos tartas de bistec con cerveza y pollo con suero de leche, todo delicioso. También me sentí seguro ya que todas las características de seguridad de Covid estaban en su lugar. Personal amable y eficiente.

Great food, friendly staff and dog friendly. We had lunch the scallops were delicious and the burgers were good too

We enjoyed a light lunch whilst exploring this part of the lakes. This is a lovely pub has a traditional feel to it the low ceilings give a feeling of cosiness which is great on a wet Cumbrian day. The soup was a fantastic thick broth and the scallops were cooked just right before the service was friendly and efficient.

Booked our table via their website- very efficient. Highlights: Scallop starter was good and the slow-cooked lamb main dish was delicious. Tables were well distanced and the interior very clean. A great place for a satisfying evening meal.

The room was clean and very nice. We stayed for a few nights and the staff, Josh, Hayley, and Bex were lovely and really welcoming, our waitress Grace was great. The food was amazing and really well done (thank you Rob!), the trio of sausages and the wild boar burger were delicious. The kitchen staff Rob and Kian did amazing with the presentation and cleanliness of all the dishes we tried. There was a lovely walk up into the Lake District National Park and you could go along a lot of pathways into and around the woods. Would highly recommend the pub and the area.

Me and my wife have stayed in Broughton in Furness several times renting a cottage owned by the postman. We’ve always loved the place so decided to have a couple of nights stay at the Black Cock. The staff were warm and friendly. Nice comfy bed and room. Had a nice night the first night in the bar chatting with staff and locals. We were made to feel one of them very quickly. The food though is out of this world. I recommend the Venison Steak or Belly Pork. The chef should be very proud of what he is sending out for people to eat. Keep up the great work Hayley, Rob and staff. We’ll be back soon!

On walking into the pub, which we used to use regularly in the 80’s, we were warmly greeted by a lady (who was the owner) and a fantastic open fire. We were unsure due to the current coronavirus panademic whether or not to go for lunch but we were very glad that we did. All the locals in the ‘snug’ were friendly and the menu looked fantastic. We ordered our drinks and then, after finally deciding on what we were going to order (due to great selection) we sat back and enjoyed the surroundings. The staff, on numerous occasions, were sanitising door handles and surfaces which was reassuring. Our food came and all four meals were not only well presented but were all delicious. My father had the slow cooked pork belly and his crackling was the best he had ever had....and he’s had plenty in his 80 years!! We would all like to once again thank you for making it a special day and we look forward to seeing you again.

We enjoyed the local beers, a very tasty dinner and the friendly atmosphere at this pub a lot! The fire place adds a special touch of cosiness and we'll definitely come again next time we're in the area.

Very good food and service. They were really good with our little boy who is 9 months. Will definitely be back again

We went to the Black Cock Inn for dinner in Feb 20 and the welcome from the moment we arrived was great. Having never been to the pub before we booked in advance and were given a table for 2 next to the real fire. The inn serves a selection of local beers with a menu which reflects the local produce available. We both had burgers and the size of the portions were very generous and the quality of the meet absolutely stunning with a burger which was pure meat. The chef had done a great job of making the food exceptionally tasty. In sum we could not fault the experience and would defiantly recommend the pub to anyone in the vicinity; although I would suggest that booking is a must at busy times.

We were recommended this restaurant after visiting the lakes. Good hosts and amazing food. Loved the Camembert to start and steak and ale pie!

We had a lovely meal high quality well presented and local produce tasted great Service was quick and friendly what’s not to like

Excellent food served very quickly with friendly staff, in this olde world pub in front of a roaring fire, just what is needed on a winter evening.

We a regulars at the Black Cock and ever since Haley and Rob have been at the helm the welcome, service and food has been outstanding. They always look to improve the menu and the choices are excellent. I have yet to finish the Scarfell Pike double burger! Amazing taste and outstanding quality. Sunday roasts are an absolute favourite and always piping hot. Book a table and you won’t be disappointed in this gem in the Lake District.

The food was lovely and the service was very good.The staff were very helpful with our needs and preferences.

This is a smashing pub the food is fantastic had the lamb it was superb and the host Rob and Hayley are very welcoming would highly recommend

Lovely food, friendly staff, cosy feel what more could you want! I will definitely be visiting again

Its our first visit to Broughton and we had read some great reviews about The Black Cock so we decided to try it for a spot of lunch. We weren’t disappointed! Beautiful little pub, fantastic and reasonably priced food. The lady behind the bar was great, very friendly and fab service. Great that our dog was welcome too and he got to dry off from our walk in front of the lovely fire.

Great service and lovely food . It was a wonderful atmosphere and would highly recommend. The monkfish was to die for!

El pub era encantador y cálido en un día frío, el personal muy acogedor y amable. mucho espacio para que nuestros perros se extiendan. El menú era variado y diferente, un cambio de algunos de los pubs en Coniston que nos han parecido un poco ordinarios. Tuvimos el bloque de carniceros, panceta de cerdo, pollo con mantequilla, carne en macetas y un trío de salchichas, vino con pan crujiente y una jarra de salsa, pero también agregamos papas fritas y ensalada de col. fue absolutamente precioso, perfectamente preparado. Teníamos el pudín de caramelo pegajoso para el postre y fue uno de los mejores que hemos probado.

Excelente comida abundante! Gran tamaño de la porción! El interior es encantador, pintoresco y tradicional con luces de colores en el techo y la explosión del fuego. ¡También se admiten perros! ¡Genial que podamos traer a toda nuestra familia, incluidos los perros también! Damas realmente amables, amables, alegres y profesionales que nos sirvieron. Estábamos preocupados porque no pudimos encontrar nuestra tarjeta bancaria cuando llegamos, pero nos aseguraron que Apple Pay también podía pagar en nuestra billetera telefónica. ¡Gracias! Volveremos!

Estábamos en el área ya que algunos amigos compraron una casa de campo en el área que recomendaron llamar para almorzar. llegamos y el lugar estaba bastante ocupado 1. 30 El domingo por la tarde en enero se veía bien, pedimos una mesa y el camarero nos sentó rápidamente. pedí las bebidas y luego una camarera se acercó para tomar el pedido muy agradable joven camarera muy bien informado y parecía muy burbujeante tomó el pedido y no pasó mucho tiempo antes de que llegara la comida un entrante excelente, también fue entonces para llegar a los platos principales. bistec en pastel de cerveza bien, ¿qué puedo decir? excelente hecho en casa, no solo hecho en casa, el bistec fue sublime y la corteza excelentes patatas fritas caseras y las verduras excelentes mi esposa tenía el pollo con mantequilla de nuevo excelente en general no tenía nada de qué quejarse en absoluto excelente recomendación y regresaría en un instante muy lejos de casa

Amable bienvenida, buena cerveza, excelente comida, ¡perfecto! 10/10. Tenía mejillones y pollo con suero de leche, ambos altamente, muy recomendable. El perro también fue bien recibido.

Han pasado algunos años desde que comimos en el Black Cock, pero siempre se me quedó en la mente como un lugar para obtener una excelente comida de pub. Una visita improvisada de mi madre nos dio una gran excusa para volver.

The fire was blazing, the menu was interesting, the bar was busy, but the service was friendly and efficient..An interesting ancient pub with a varied menu. Dog friendly too which is a plus for us.

Just had a meal at The Black Cock Inn, simply outstanding, great quality and outstanding value. Highly recommended!

on our final day in the area we spend a while by the fire in the Black Cock - great value lunch and very friendly staff

with a group of friends on walking holiday ,we tried here on saturday night no luck fully booked. we booked for later in the week , the menu has changed since my last visit, not quite as wide a choice, but certainly large portions,

Food simply divine, and meat locally sourced from the butcher's across the road...great carbon footprint as advised by the staff!

A summary of comments from our meal this evening:

we visited for sunday roast last week and as soon as you walk in you are welcomed with smiley staff, the low beams are very traditional and fitting to broughton village , (I'm 6ft 3in) so duck , I had soup of the day which was lentil and beef roast for main then cumbrian sticky toffee pudding with cream. my wife had the same apart from the starter which I think was a vegetarian samosas with salad. cannot fault the place the food was fantastic and the staff were really nice plus it isn't pricey either. we will be returning but might just wait till late autumn when the coal fire gets lit. thank you

A lovely, old, rustic pub with very friendly, helpful staff and chatty, happy locals. We had scampi and chips. The scampi coating was light and crispy and the chips had a light and smooth texture with a lovely crispy coating too. Would return if in the area and would recommend to others

I found that this hotel even though friendly and cheap needs a revamp and a revamp. Not a big menu and quite pricey.

A real pub complete with friendly locals. The beer is excellent with a good variety of real ales. We ate here twice and both times food and service very good.

small friendly town, old world pub with good food and beer. great place to stay where you can eat, drink and sleep in one place. The standard of food was excellent and the staff were very helpful. Try it

Fabulous food, good selection even for vegetarian. Friendly staff, managed to find us a table even though we hadn't booked

Charming service in a traditional pub led to an excellent locally sourced meal. Vegetarian meals tasty, choice of fish and good range of locally sourced meat dishes. (High class butcher and livestock market within walking distance.) Venue highly recommended for good beers.

Popped in for a few drinks with a friend yesterday. Great service, rightly priced and nice beer. A very busy pub compared to some of the others in the area. We will be back in the near future keep the good work up!

Service was very slow, table was sticky, we had to get our own drinks from the bar. Food not too bad when it finally arrived, but overall not a satisfactory evening out.

Decided to eat here on our first night staying in nearby Foxfield. The general manager allowed us a table for 2 right at the back of the restaurant and he even commented it was busy for a Tuesday evening. The pub itself was nicely done out and the menu very appealing. I went for the burger my wife the pork belly with black pudding mash. As i said it was busy and we only saw 2 staff, the manager rushing about and another waitress who seemed exhausted. When the food arrived after a fairly long wait it looked amazing but there was no cutlery on the table, the waitress said she would be straight back with some. So we sat there looking at our food getting cold and after about 5 minutes I had to catch the eye of the manager and ask for some. Clearly the waitress forgot as she never appeared again, not even to check in on us. I had the burger and there was no offer of any sauces ie ketchup and my wife had to ask for salt as again there was none on the table. I also had to go the bar to ask for more drinks half way through our meal, again putting this down to lack of waiting staff. So the food was amazing, the pub nicely done out but the service let the whole place down which is a real shame but I can only hope it was due to staff shortage and nothing else.......

Ate twice here and both times it was brilliant. Old pub with loads of character and friendly staff. Food was superb, good size portions and really nice. Service was good too. Highly recommend.

Visited on Saturday evening without a reservation was initially told half hour wait for table which we were fine with but then a table for 2 became available within minutes! Was served by the super friendly Hayley and within 5 minuets she had moved us to a larger table, great service! I opted for steak and ale pie and my partner went for a burger both meals were delicious and the portion size was huge we couldn’t finish unfortunately.Probably best to book as we saw at least 10 people being turned away.All staff were friendly and helpful well worth a visit if in the area

Stopped for a pint while out on the motorcycle friendly bar member greeted me with a decent beer and the location is great as well all in all a decent little traditional drinking hole

The food in this restaurant is absolutely fantastic, we visited this restaurant 3times in the week we were here and never had a bad meal . The staff were excellent and I could not find any fault with this restaurant. Excellent value.

Just finished eating and excellent home cooked food. Had the chicken and wife grasmere burger. Both tasty and recommended

Extremely disappointing, thought the BC was on the mend. Not at all... and will take a a lot to restore confidence. Poor quality meals all four. Staff very apologetic and did reimburse shortfall, but went home hungry! Will not be back until quality is vastly improved. Local

Stopped off this quaint town after climbing consiston old man not that far away ,it was quite busy but had a great ambiance Hollie said if we had food its served quite fast so we won't have to wait to long ,we were both hungry , both orderd the steak and ale pie .i had pint of real ale which was just what I needed a waitress called Haley got or table ready and the food was served within 25 mins nice mash and gravey and cabbage might be a bit more adventurace next visit cos we will go back a explore the town a bit more

Service was very slow! Long wait between starters and mains! Starter wasn't hot. The chicken was over cooked and a small portion.

My family & I stayed in A cottage in Broughton-in-Furness. We had a wonderful meal, it was so good we went back twice more. The bar staff were very accommodating and the food came out hot and they were large portions and very tasty.

Era comida sabrosa y grandes porciones. Todos nos sorprendimos con el tamaño de las raciones, pero todos disfrutamos y fue una cena suntuosa para comenzar nuestras vacaciones de una semana en Cumbria. Reservamos otro día esta semana que es lo mucho que nos gustó. Muy recomendable

6 of us called here while on holiday with the family, the staff are very friendly and the food was amazing, locally sourced grub and very well presented. Highly recommended if you are hungry as you get plenty at a reasonable price. Kev. Wyke, Bradford

Went for a meal as staying nearby. Staff couldn't do enough for us, Bex was very friendly and welcoming. Food came quickly despite being a busy evening and tasted great! Would visit again.

Called here for lunch and my hubs & I both had duck burger...it was the strangest 'duck' either of us have ever tasted !!! was more akin to sausage meat. We sat outside as its a beautiful day in the Lakes (Good Friday) and waited with anticipation for the waitress to come to check the meal was ok ~ still waiting!!! we drank up & left and will not be back, as we are fairly local will tell others what we think of their 'duck' burger and tell them to avoid avoid avoid !!!

We visited for Sunday lunch as it looked good online, and I'm really glad we did!

The food was delicious and beautifully presented. The staff were friendly, especially Hayley. Visiting whilst on holiday and was pleasantly surprised by fresh ingredients and superb taste.

The food was freshly made and delicious to boot! Compliments to the chef.

I am always wary on a first visit but I found very friendly staff and customers who we started talking to straight away. The food I ate and the service I received was more than I could have expected . I will definitely be visiting again and will be recommending to family and friends. Being a dog lover I was pleased to see it is dog friendly and they are treated as well as the humans. All credit to the young couple running it and all the other staff be proud of yourselves.

Fantastic food. Staff very friendly couldnt do enough for us would highly recommend.!!!! Oldy world pub with great character.

I wish I could give more than a 5 star review from start to finish I can’t praise this tradition warm welcomed pub enough. The food is outstanding and well worth a visit Rob and Hayley have only been the host for 2 weeks and are doing an amazing job. The bar staff Jo and Becs are friendly and nothing is too much trouble can’t wait to return to sample the new menu

When we arrived, we were shown to our table next to a family who had been waiting one hour and a half for their food.

Booked 8pm and arrived early. Was an inviting pub atmosphere and front of house staff friendly and clearly working very hard.
