Been going to the Yew for 20 years and seen many changes in the management The menu is now just pub grub. It’s usually good. Unfortunately this time the food was not so good. The chicken was very tough and rubbery. It seemed like it had been warmed up. The turkey dinner which is usually good was poor, except the turkey which was good. The roast potatoes were like the frozen ones heated up, the Yorkshire pudding was hard and uneatable. The pub is attractive. The staff friendly.

Previously visited and always felt that it was a place for a special occasion……. now just the same as many of the pubs in the area. Surprisingly the gammon was served with coleslaw. The coleslaw was OK but not something that should be paired with gammon. Vegetables would have been more suitable.

Super hot inside and as soon as you walked in it was like a fog machine was on 🔥 super smokey, opening a window would of been helpful, because of the Heat and smoke it made me not want to finish my meal

Lovely rustic food with excellent portion sizes. We really enjoyed the atmosphere too, but really let down by the service.. I was close to giving this 3 stars. Half a hour wait to be asked for our order. An hour before we got the food. I had to go prompt for a dessert menu after another long wait and again get up and prompt for them to come and take our dessert menu. The attention to customers from the staff was pretty poor and put a bit of a dampener on our experience.

Our family of 8 was on holiday in the area and we went here for dinner on a Thursday evening at 6pm. It was very busy which speaks volumes for the place. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the food but they were all envious of my famous cow pie. The. food was excellent and reasonably priced. I would definitely recommend

Top drawer cow pie. I am a huge eater and the full cow pie was too big for me (I did eat it all, but only because I am stubborn). Two of my friends each had the half a cow pie, and that was some pile of food itself. All of the menu looks superb and the staff are always really friendly. Give it a go, you'll enjoy it.

Had been this restaurant once before in March 2023 and it was wonderful. Absolutely spectacular. There half a cow pie was delicious and their Brie wedges mouthwatering. However this time was dreadful. The starters was cateright’s finest selection of cheap country rage frozen. My girlfriend had the Lebanese flat bread and it’s salt and pepper chicken. Both come frozen from one of Cumbria’s biggest food suppliers and was dreadful. The tempura veg was straight out of a packet and more like buttermilk and greasy… Deserts the brownie tasted like just flower? There is more moisture in flower if I’m honest. Cheesecake had freezer sweat. (Beads of water running down from where it had been frozen) cremebrule was actually tasteful.. I know a lot of people read trip advisor reviews and take them with a pinch of salt but, I’m a chef and have raved over this place since my first visit and have been gasping to get back. You can imagine my disappointment. I’d also like to say it’s my first review…

Been coming here for many years. The food is good. Lots of choice. New management havent really changed the atmosphere thankfully. Staff are efficient. The number of dogs in the eating areas does question the hygiene of the place. It would be better if dogs were restricted to the bar area. Parking is tricky at weekends.

We had Sunday lunch here today. Booked last night online which was easy and they sent confirmation email. When we arrived they spotted that one of our party was using crutches so they swapped us to a table closer to the entrance. Very thoughtful. We all had Roast dinners, I had beef and half of my wife’s turkey. Both were delicious, plenty on the plate and a big dish of veg, including cauliflower cheese. Great food, good service and excellent value. We will be back.

Lovely evening so decided to visit The Royal Ewe for a bite to eat as we hadn't been there for a while. Food was first class and excellent quality. Had fish sliders and brie wedges for starters. Burgers, Moving Mountains Vege burger with proper chips and pork for mains. Couldn't resist deserts which were sticky toffee pudding and cheesecake but unfortunately couldn't wait to eat long enough to take a photo. Service outstanding would definitely recommend for a great feed in relaxing surroundings.
