The Red Lion in South Lakeland - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Lovely place we had two meals in here and both were amazing. Especially the Sunday dinner, best we’ve tasted eating out in a very long time. Staff were friendly and helpful. If you want a table I would book, we went on a sat night and no tables available ☹️ Ended up just round the corner for fish and chips 👍 😀 Simply can’t fault The Red Lion, lovely place.

Came here for evening meal whilst staying in Sedbergh. Friendly welcome and nice pub atmosphere. The steak pie was exceptional, it reminded me of the cow pie they used to serve at the George in Keswick. We liked it so much we came back again a second night.

Most enjoyable, came across during a one night stop over for a Rugby tournament and glad we did. Staff great, food honest and surroundings traditional.

Stayed at the B&B and also had an evening meal there. A warm atmosphere with good food. Bedroom very large but not en suite, though we were the only only users of the bathroom which was also quite large. The small amount of shower gel available made me think that rationing was still on. Adequate tea and coffee making facilities. Slept well and it was very quiet Breakfast really good quality and made to order.

We were staying in Sedbergh for my 50th Birthday, booked at table at this pub for 7.30pm, we arrived at pub for 7.20pm, went to the bar to say we had a table booked, she replied, it was booked for 7 and I've given your table away, we stop serving food at 7.30, she threw the menus on the bar and said if you want food there is no steak or fish.....we decided to leave.......had nothing to eat until the following morning as there was no where else open or serving food......Great experience 🙊

After a lovely walk we stopped in for Sunday roast. Excellent quality locally sourced food perfectly cooked. Cosy comfy proper old style pub with friendly helpful staff. A must visit

A warm welcome, a superb roast beef Sunday lunch, impeccable service, a perfectly conditioned pint of Jennings Cumberland, and a very fair price. Wish I lived nearer to be a more frequent customer

This pub is friendly, it can be a little noisy if you are seated by the Pool table. The food was good hearty pub food. It is a lovely pub to have an afternoon drink in by the fire.

Would highly recommend for an evening meal. Excellent food, good sized helpings, very reasonably priced, and served in a lovely atmosphere by very friendly staff

Our experience of this wonderful old traditional pub was marred by foul language and smoking in an outside covered drinking and eating area . Other customers also had to endure this behaviour with it being brought to the attention of management. Perhaps your enjoyment of this wonderful quaint establishment like our will be dependent on local young peoples social skills.

Arrived fairly late but the lad behind the bar who was very friendly asked the chef if he would prepare a meal which he did, went for the fish and chips which I have to say was very average, not a particularly big piece of cod and was quite thin but I have to say was quite tasty, chips were awful, perhaps arriving quite late in the afternoon contributed to this.

Received a warm welcome for our party of 5, even though we hadn't booked, as just arrived to holiday in the village. Very dog friendly and excellent food. Can thoroughly recommend the Sunday lunch. We also (booked!) and 3 of us ate there again later in the week and the steak meal two of us had was delicious. My daughter had the homemade lasagne, and she also said that was lovely. 😋 Well done, Red Lion.

we enjoed our evening here as the staff were extremely friendly,the food quality was good and service as you would like it.Some of the furniture could do with sprucing up but it is a god pub with a very local and friendly feel.

This is quite a traditional pub with traditional food. The food was well done and tasty, and served with a smile.

Nice little pub in quaint setting. Dog friendly, good ale and pleased to see us. Food and service good. Glad we booked...

Brilliant spot. Popped in with 2 mate and our 4 kids. Few pints, great meals, loads of dogs and the staff were great. Food, service and value - top notch.

Good value for money. Great entertainment with a local folk band added to the enjoyment. Good Sunday lunch and dinner.

Great pub, great food! Kerry the bar lady was fabulous, very friendly a must pub out of the three pubs here! Don't pass this by EVER!

Spent a week in Sedberg and many a night in the Red Lion, great little place. Not perfect but very enjoyable. Barman always seemed to be run of his feet but we never felt left out. Serving, cleaning tables and behind the bar never seemed to stop. We would have had most meals from the menu and all very enjoyable. Perhaps the other places in Sedberg should look at how the this place runs because it always seemed alot busier in comparison

Food was very expensive for the quality that we received. Staff were friendly and seems like a nice pub but sorry to say the food was disappointing

Warm and welcoming as soon as we walked in. Lovely little beer ‘yarden’ at the back - this isn’t advertised but it should be (we spotted it through the window!). Lovely food in a nice, tidy and traditional pub. It has a new landlady - who is brilliant with the customers - well worth a visit.

Visited this pub on the Main Street during the recent Lancs v Sussex Royal London Cricket Match. We received a very warm welcome from the South African barmaid who coped admirably at the many supporters who suddenly appeared - nothing was too much and such a good personality. A traditional type of pub was so well presented and exceptionally clean. We enjoyed our couple of pints before returning to the cricket.

What a great local pub Hannah the landlady makes this pub. When I walked through the door until I left I was made to feel very welcome, Great pub food and good selection of local ale. It's a dog friendly pub which is great for you if you take your dog on holiday.

We found this place early June whie looking for overnight accomodation to break the journey on our way back to Scotland, Hannah and her staff every single one of them Sam, Lou and the chef Louie made us so welcome and nothing was a problem for them. We would normally be in Tenerife at this time of the year but due to travel restrictions we decided to spend a week back at The Red Lion. Hannah (Defo needs singing lessons) and the team were so pleased to see us. The Steak pie is amazing (had it most nights) We enjoyed a good restful week visiting nearby towns as there is not much to do in Sedbergh itself. Hawes worth a visit ! To sum it all up we will be back at the Red Lion very soon and look forward to seeing all of our new found friends.

Great service by superwoman restaurant manager. Great pub food good to relax and enjoy a dinner after a long walk.

We visited the Red Lion on the first night of a short break in Sedbergh, and felt welcome from the moment we arrived. The menu is standard pub grub, served quickly and hot and pleased parents and kids alike. But what we all remembered for days after we left was the great, friendly service - thank you!

We visited the pub originally in September this year and decided to come back and stay as we found out they now had some rooms.The size was great and decor of the room was lovely, however there were a few issues that need sorting. We found that there was a door in the room which had no lock on it on our side. When opened it was another room which looked like its ready to refurbed. The worrying thing was that the key was still in the main door, on the outside in the communal area which meant anyone could go into that room and into ours. I locked and removed the key overnight for peace of mind.The bathroom has a sensor light which turned out that any time anyone walks on the floor above, the light went on.Heating did not work in the room so it was bit chilly at night.We ate in the pub Saturday evening and the food was amazing. Staff was really friendly and the food was outstanding. I had the game cumberland sausage with mash and peas. Highly recommended.Breakfast was served in the pubs sister, The Dalesman, which was across the road, about a minutes walk.On returning to the room prior to check out, we arrived to find a "disco" going on in the kitchen which was on our floor and the open door was opposite our room. The music was blaring and the person inside was singing badly. We did find this amusing as we were checking out, however if we had wanted a lie in or staying longer then I would have been absolutely fuming! All in all, a fab place to eat and drink but as for the rooms, they are not ready to accept guests yet as there is quite a bit of work to be done and unfortunately the rooms and accomodation experience weren't worth the £90 price tag at the moment.

Ate here on a weekend trip to Sedbergh. Found Sedbergh to be a quiet town with very limited places to eat. On trying to choose somewhere to go for a meal, found half the restaurants were pretty expensive. Even the local pizzeria was what I think is expensive...the average pizza seemed to be about £12.50.However, we ended up at the Red Lion..and had an excellent meal at a good price.It’s not fine dining but the food was great , well presented and served by very friendly helpful staff.Would definitely use this pub again.

In the midst of the Coronavirus Pandemic, Claire & Nick are making a bold attempt to help feed the town. A takeaway of Chinese style meals are appreciated AND very good. Tonight’s Honey & Ginger Chicken & Salt & Pepper Chicken were excellent. Thank you.

had a lovely Chinese take away . very tasty and great portions. would definately recommend and will definately order again.

Ordered a take away of Chinese food expertly crafted by Nick & Claire. It’s not just that a takeaway saves me cooking during lockdown that I write this review. It’s that the menu available has variety to satisfy. It isn’t hideously expensive - in fact I feel it’s very fairly priced & most importantly to me it’s a local business that I am very happy to support! Placing your order and selecting a collection time slot means that we all stay safely distances which is very important to us all right now. Thank you Nick & Claire! I look forward to next week!

Down to earth, spotlessly clean and very friendly local pub. Nice open fire, tv, darts and a pool table.

This was our first visit to The Red Lion and our first visit to Sedbergh. We started with home made vegetable soup followed by the roast beef diner. The food was the way I like it traditional not like some chefs who put there twist to there cooking and the result is a lunch that can be disappointing. The food was fresh all home made not like some of the big chain pub food.The price of the drinks and food was reasonable and the staff were very friendly and helpful. In all a good experience in a nice cosy traditional pub.

We called here for lunch whilst passing through the town. Ordered soup and two snack lunches. The menu was varied, prices good, quick service, and quality also very good.It was pointed out to us before ordering any drinks and food that it was " cash only "

Called in for drinks prior to a meal elsewhere as the place had great kerb appeal. It sadly lacked on entering, only one member of staff and she was struggling with only half a dozen people in there and obviously hadn't had time to clean tables. Unfortunately the place neede a good scrub.

I guess we should have been warned by the absence of anyone else in the pub on a Sunday afternoon when we visited. While it was a fairly quiet day in town, there were plenty of people eating in the other cafes and restaurants nearby. The pub has a bit of character indoors and is not a chain. The toilets, while old, are clean and quite spacious. But the food is definitely to be avoided, if our meal was anything to go by. We wanted a Sunday roast which was priced at £10.95. Not particularly cheap, but if you get a great meal then it would be good value. Very disappointing - we couldn’t cut through the tough, dried out slices of beef which had absolutely no flavour. The meal came with two roast potatoes and mash, which were better than the meat but nothing special, and a reasonable portion of vegetables - carrots and cabbage, and some frozen peas which had seen better days. The Yorkshire pudding was also okay, but some “just okay” items on a plate with inedible meat doesn’t make for a good roast dinner. Given that the last pub roasts we had were priced at 2 for £10 and were much, much better, we would have to score these meals at 2 out of 10.

This is a lovely small characterful pub in a lovely historic village. Sedbergh school itself dates back to 1525.Regrettably there is no access to the sun even via the small beer garden to the rear - though I readily accept this is not the pub's fault.They provide a reasonable choice of beers for an average price.I would have happily marked this pub 4/5 but I have an inherent dislike of bar staff using the toilets and then leaving without washing their hands. Presumably returning to the bar to fulfill their part in the food provision chain - young lads - but for me an absolutely essential requirement that was too readily overlooked !!A great shame - we decided not to eat here.

After experiencing a cold welcome at a nearby pub the group of us thankfully found The Red Lion. Ann made us so welcome and we never stopped laughing throughout our stay. The food was lovely and the drink prices superb! When I return to Sedbergh I will certainly be visiting The Red Lion again and I just hope that Ann is still working there

We had a couple of drinks last night in the Red Lion. We enjoyed chatting to the manager Anna and other tourists visiting the area while sitting by the open fire. We didn’t eat at the pub, but the food smelt very nice.

First visit to the Red Lion for a few months. Impressed by new cleaner look - less clutter. Food value was great - the pie and a pint offer at £11 was brilliant - the pie being a proper home-made affair with abundant chips, mushy peas and gravy. Staff (Tom) and landlord friendly and helpful. A proper old fashioned pub offering good value and atmosphere. Dogs are welcome too.

As we were staying in the village we decided to nip in for a drink on Christmas Day. Lovely warm welcome from the hosts, there is a really friendly local feel to the pub. Lovely coal fire blazing away. Dogs welcome too

Went to the Red Lion today for a roast dinner, were staying a few miles out of town, so this was an absolute treat. Fabulous beef, veggies and a whopping yorkshire pud, cooked to perfection. The chef was really good at accommodating my dietary requirements. Followed the roast with the fruit sponge and cream, lovely too.

Went here with friends and the food was wonderful - and LOTS of it!!!! Friendly staff, beautiful area.

We had the steak meal last Friday here - and after calling in over the last few months have seen some marked changes .. cleaner and better . The place has had an overhaul. Staff seem to be trying to improve the place. There are more real ales to chose from previously and they taste as if they are being looked after well. Tables look better and the place has had a lick of paint and some added touches that make it feel like a pub eatery. The current staff seem more clued in to customers.

An absolute delight- a pub in the true sense - nostalgic, real fire and great ales! They are extending to include B&B; rooms - we will be back! Its a “proper pub”........

old traditional pub limited drinks & food selection, but what food was available was delicious and would recommend if your looking for good pub grub. surroundings are a bit run down & in need of freshening up. but Staff friendly & great food

This is where the locals drink. First night on holiday was the England Sweden game in the World Cup, and this place was absolutley buzzing. beer and lager priced at £2.50 a pint as well.

Myself and two friends, were on a caving and hiking holiday in sedbergh, first week of June 2018, we found this pub, on the first day of our visit, and really liked the quirky interior, and very friendly staff, and really good food, we liked this pub so much, we ended up using it every day.

Popped in last Thursday during an evening walk and although it was quiet it has a warm welcoming feel the barman was very friendly it reminded us of what a proper country pub should be like

The Red Lion changed hands a few months ago and endured a fairly chaotic period of no beer, no food, no beer or food and simply being closed.

We don't often review places just round the corner from where we live, but having just enjoyed a delicious Sunday roast at the Red Lion this evening, this place is more than worthy of a mention. Having had a selection of managers over the past 2 years since the last long-time licensees retired, the pub has suffered somewhat due to not having permanent staff and a regular chef, also with intermittent beer deliveries making it difficult to judge when to visit.

Visited the Red Lion for a few on Saturday. Was extremely dissapointed in what i found.

We visited for a well deserved tea and were definatley not let down. The selection is fantastic and cooked to perfection. The pub itself is very warm and cosy with a village feel, log fire and comfortable seating. Staff are very friendly and welcoming. Just a great place. We went back for breakfast and again we left very happy. I hope to visit again soon.

The burger was a bit dry but the fish was pretty good and haloumi really good! A good selection of pints and a really good fruit machine up the back.

We visit the area every Xmas as a large family group and have done so now for 10 years. We always used to gravitate towards the Dalesman pub but the present owners and staff are not at all friendly or welcoming.

Having been a past patron of 'The Red Lion' our recent visit was disappointing, for the following reasons:

Called in here twice for something to eat both times turned away because there was no chef. Second time there was no Pinot Grigio only Sauvignon blanc. Which was nice and the ales were great too. Just disappointed we couldn't eat here.

This is a decent place to eat, and it is friendly. Not particularly cheap for what it is, but perfectly sound.

This pub is fantastic! Really friendly locals, and visitors, and very lovely bar staff, especially Trish and John.

Looking for Sunday lunch. The blaring football in the background, sticky tables and unengaged staff with one seemingly about ready to cough their last, I'll be honest, I'd have left the Red Lion in a shot. However, I was persuaded to stay and I'm glad I did. Their home cooked roast beef dinner was fantastic. Everything was hot, everything was fresh and everything was delicious. In addition, the chef was very welcoming and friendly. We really enjoyed the meal. I would suggest a little attention to front of house and, with that level of cooking, this pub would be crammed every weekend.

We don't expect country pubs to be polished and smart but 'a little character' and a friendly welcome wouldn't go amis. On our two visits the young bar staff seemed more interested in having a laugh between themselves than serving customers, although there were never more than six. A shame as Sedbergh needs the Red Lion to flourish.

Called in here after a visit to the Wensleydale Dairy just down the road there were 6 of us, the place was empty apart form 3 people already halfway though a meal. We asked if they were still serving and the young lady said yes but they had no fish and no steaks.

We went to the Red Lion as it dog friendly - we had a very warm welcome from the couple who manage the pub .They are only fill in's as it seems there had been changes in the management over the last 12 months .As well as us 3 including the dog only 2 other customers where as other eating places were busy .Our Steak Pie was ok but just no more than basic pub food - no atmosphere the best thing about the evening was the cricket on the big screen !

Went here for a spot of lunch and we had the award winning steak and ale pies. They were amazing and I can see why they are award winning. Full of tasty steak that was so tender and pastry that melted in your mouth. Absolutely delicious

Called in as a group of 6 - no problem fitting us in. Great food and beer and great service, definitely recommended!

just had 10 ten days staying at New Barn Cottage about 3 miles west of Sedbergh up a narrow country lane close to where the first Quaker meeting place is. used the red lion on several occasions found them very friendly,a good selection of real ales, great food at reasonable prices and dog friendly. my brother and I both have Labradors and they were also made most welcome by the staff that were running it while the manager was away on his honeymoon. Only problem we had was one night when we got there found the owner had nicked the chef for his other establishment the Dalesman also in Sedbergh which meant we had to go elsewhere. We did not go to the Dalesman as it's more a posh nosh pub and i refuse to pay the inflated prices

called in friday night to try their famous pies, well as we where in the area it would have been rude not to, found the service to be quirky but good, they have a good range of ales all well kept, but for this place its all about the pies and yes they are as good as people say they are,homemade, huge, well filled with great local produce and worth every penny, from what i could see the rest of the menu is not as good but this is The Lion and its the pies you come here for, enjoyed our night so much we came back Saturday night only to be told no food as the chef at their more up market pub had not turned in so the Lion chef had to go cover for him, which was a shame, but we will be back..

Thought we'd try this place for an early lunch. Supposed to be famous for its pies. My wife was going to have chicken pie but it wasn't ready. So she chose quiche which was also off. The place looked tired so we just drank our drinks and left. When service starts everything should be available.

We tried to call about 8 times throughout the day to make a booking with no answer. We got there at 19:30 and we were told that you couldn't order if you didn't have a booking, even though the website says the kitchen is open until at 21:00.

Ate here with a group of friends whilst on a week's walking holiday. Nothing fancy just simple honest pub grub. Decent sized portions, in fact some of the group could not finish. A good local that serves adequate food.

Lovely, cosy traditional pub in a quiet little village. Good ales, a proper old fashioned pub. Large out door seating area looked fun for the summer.

Petit pub Victorien, facile à trouver dans la rue principale à 200m de notre B&B , Daleslea.La déco et le cadre sont un peu tristounet pour cette première étape de notre balade de 2 semaines. La terrasse est effectivement "délaissée"On est mieux dedans et au chaud.L'accueil de la patronne est très sympa et le choix de la carte est vaste.La qualité suivra, le cocktail de crevettes est en dessous des champignons à l'ail, les scampis et la quiche aux oignons sont très bons.Choix de bières vaste.L'ambiance est celle d'un pub de province, calme et conviviale avec un match de foot à la TV opposant les 2 Manchester, Un bon souvenir.

Very disappointing. The pub wasn't clean, under-staffed perhaps although it wasn't busy. Got the impression it was running on a shoe-string. Food was low-standard pub-grub. Beer OK. Not inclined to return even if there are very few alternatives within walking distance.

Visited here on a Sunday afternoon and was welcomed with lovely staff, locals and great food. Tom and Dave are great hosts to everyone that came in, knew most of the orders before they even asked and were good with the kids in the pub at the time. Very attentive to orders and fresh drinks. Overall great pub!

Grotty and tired decor. 'Welcomed' (and I use the term loosely) by a slovenly barman. Given grotty food-stained menus. God knows why we didn't leave at this point. 2 of us ordered burgers which were quite frankly vile, but the chips were good. . Meat and potato pie just weird. All day breakfast OK I suppose. Only plus point was that the manager was very apologetic and didn't charge for the 3 poor meals.

Hoping for live music as advertised but didn't happen. Pleasant enough and a local boozer but left after one drink to resume at the Dalesam Inn. Bar staff at the Red Lion were clueless.

Dave and Thea, really give you a warm welcome. There is a good and varied menu as well as a wide variety of real ales and wines. All this with a real roaring fire and even treats for the dog, give this Dales pub a real ambience. Would definitely recommend a visit. Top marks all round

As we found ourselves alone on Christmas Day for the first time in many years, we decided to make a late booking for Christmas dinner at the Red Lion, which is our local and just round the corner from where we live.At 40 pounds per head, the meal sounded to be exceptional value, and to be honest we were prepared to be slightly disappointed. However, how wrong were we ! We arrived to a warm welcome at 1pm, and left at around 4.30pm feeling very full ! We enjoyed a wonderful 5 course meal chosen from an imaginative and varied menu, and could not have asked for anything better !From the onset we were treated with great courtesy and friendship by Dave, Thea and their staff. We each enjoyed a pre-dinner drink, then ordered a good bottle of red wine to accompany our meal. Following very filling canapes, our starters were Chicken liver pate and Prawn cocktail, both scrumptious. Our main courses (traditional Turkey dinner and Wild mushroom nut roast) were huge ! We were fortunately allowed plenty of time to complete each course, and ample time between courses to make room for the next one. For desserts we enjoyed Lemon posset and Vanilla pannacotta - we could not have managed the Xmas pudding or Sticky Toffee pudding ! After some time we were offered a delicious selection of petit fours, but as we could not face any more food by then, the staff kindly packed these into a container for us to take home.All in all, we could not have wished for a more delicious and appetizing Christmas Day meal. All credit to the managers and staff for providing us and many other diners with such a wonderfully enjoyable festive expetrience !

Just call in for refreshment very busy lovely cosy pub nice big roaring fire we didn't eat but the food looked good staff very friendly

Visited the Red on a random day out. Walked in to a lovely welcome from one of the managers, Dave, so welcoming to everyone. Our dog even got some treats! The food, cooked by Daves partner and other manager Thea was beautiful. Home made mushroom loaf and panna cotta for dessert! Would definitely visit again!

Had the Cumberland sausage was excellent! Clear plate! The misses had the stake and ale pie and thought it was excellent to! Buster the dog got a few treats on arrival from the bar man and he to enjoyed the sausage and pie!

Had already seen the great reviews and had to write alongside. Very welcome throughout our visit. They're dog friendly, even gave buster some treats for being so well behaved! The food was excellent, traditional good pub grub! I had the award winning steak and ale pie, and it had to be the best pie I've ever tasted! Would highly recommend :)

Visited here on a wet Weds night, there were plenty of people in the pub so good atmosphere. Friendly barman, decent food, we had the gammon, v tasty. Would def come again.

Lovely friendly greeting on arrival, my husband and I had the Roast pork dinner it was hot home made Yorkshire puddings with the works really enjoyed it.

At last a really friendly pub in this town which allows dogs and in consequence is full of them! This pub is the only thing which might entice me back to this town. Later enjoyed a good a rump steak for a bargain 7.50 washed down with a fine pint of ale. Great chatting with friendly locals

Called at Red Lion whilst cycling from CTC. We had been to the Dalesman on the High Street which was frequented by families of Sedbergh School pupils and where prices were fairly high. Our decision to eat at the Red Lion was a wise one. They serve the best pies I have eaten for ages . We had meat and potato and chicken and mushroom all made freshly each day by the chef Paul who also makes steak and ale and a veggie variety. Not only are they very large but come with heaps of chips and mushy peas. I asked for gravy and was supplied with a large boat of good gravy. The price....£9.95. Very good value for money indeed. The welcome and service by the managers Thea and Dave was also excellent. If you are visiting Sedbergh and want a good pint and hearty meal then do not fail to visit the Red Lion.

Accueil sympa, par contre il y a du travail sur l'hygiène: cendriers sales sur des tables tachées... On ose pas imaginer l'état de la cuisine....

This is a local pub, with a traditional style. We just stopped for a quick drink as we were renting a cottage in the village. The service was fine, not overtly friendly but efficient., the ambiance not so good, we did feel it was a local pub for local people, so only stopped for the one drink.

Friendly traditional pub . made welcome. Had the nachos and cheese as, a starter very tasty but to big for one. Then had the amazing pies they served . very tasty and recommended.

Loved the pub prices at the door looked reasonable for the area as dome of the pubs were so much more expensive. Loved the place straight off traditional pub land lord and service was friendly no dog with us this time as motorcycle holiday. But fogs welcome doggy barsnacks given to the frequenting pooches. Many pubs pay a fortune to be revamped in the traditional style this place got there on its own merits over the years but please don't change it. Now for the most important bit the landlord keeps a very nice pint of beer. We stayed for dinner and was pleasently suppressed my partner had steak chips peas with onion rings mushrooms and tomato a bit dated but so are we my partner is fussy about her food but soon polished off her plate and very nice was the remark hi praise indeed.I'm a pie man so went for meat and potatoe chips peas and gravy. Loved to see the hand made shortcrust pastry topping a well stuffed pie very filling if I had a criticism the chips needed a little longer as they were on the al dente side.Service was friendly and as food cooked to order took as long as it needed but in no rush and was well worth the wait. Highly recommended for the traditional pub lovers.don't expect plush expect character.

Drove here as hotel had no bar and despite the pub closing they served us and made us feel very welcome. Fed our dog biscuits and sat with us in an amazing quirky garden telling us about their plans for the pub. Even gave us some pies to take back to the hotel. This would be our local if we lived here for sure.

Called in we'd night for a bite to eat .And there was a quiz on .So we joined in .Great food exellent chioce. Real fire on as it was wet outside .Great atmosphere.

Called in here for Sunday lunch and was really disappointed.£11 x 4 wasted in our viewUncooked carrots, salty gravy, and a small sliver of meat - beer was OK though Sorry guys as don't like leaving bad reviews

Great atmosphere real fire great food brill beer garden dog friendly every dog gets a treat.... Staff ace would defo re visit

Very quirky service, but beer garden fab. Good food and lovely atmosphere. Sheltered from the rain and spent all afternoon here!

Fantastic little traditional pub/restaurant in beautiful Kirby Lonsdale. Just 6 miles off the M6.Great food - good selection, brilliant service, dog friendly, Lovely!

New couple at helm great food and drink brilliant beer garden at rear .Great meeting place for walkers and cycle parking at back

Great to see four regional beers on handpump at this homely Marstons pub opposite the church. Outstanding service from the barmaid who encouraged us to try a taster of each one. The Howgill blonde ale was excellent, with Wainwright a close second.As for the food, we enjoyed our homemade pies so much, we went back the following night and tried the pasta which was just as good.On our first visit the pub was cold, but on the next evening they had lit the fire, which was a big improvement. Compared to the overpriced fayre up the road at the Dalesman, the Royal Oak offers excellent value for money. Following its recent reopening, I hope it's a fixture on the Sedbergh scene for a long time to come.Be aware that they don't take credit cards, and you have to pay for your food and drinks separately as they use different tills.

Called in for beers and an evening meal. Busy pub which is both dog and muddy boot friendly and right in the centre of Sedbergh. Cosy home atmosphere with both locals and visitors. A proper pub in a proper market town in a glorious setting.

We both had this pie which was Cajun spiced beef and blue cheese. It was the best pie I had ever eaten in a pub. Encased in light homemade pastry. ( not a beef casserole with a puff pastry lid dumped on it ) the chef a scots fellow came out and asked what we thought. V good
