The Screes Inn in Copeland

We had been warned it got very busy so had booked a table. When we arrived it was already packed so had high expectations! Sadly we were very disappointed. The service was poor and the food was not good. My wife chose fish and chips ‘because you can’t mess that up’ but struggled to eat it as it was swimming in grease. The mash with my Cumberland sausage tasted like Smash made on a camp stove by my mother on camping holidays in my youth! Not a good recommendation 😂. There’s very little choice of establishments locally so they have a captive audience so I guess little motivation to drive improvement

Would be zero stars! Terrible place. Staff rude no ice or even lemon for a G and T. Short measures on spirit and wine. Clearly banking on a captive audience. Stay well away and food is walked across the road between pubs! Other pubs only a few miles away and amazing food and service.

We booked in for 3 days meals no problem, on arrival the young bar man was the most obnoxious person I had met at a bar, rude, had no clue about customer service, he pulled 2 pints of lager I had asked for one, he argued that I had got it wrong even though 2 other said they had heard my order, we had visited for the past 5years at Easter and sat in the same tables however the bar man put us in the back room we asked to change but sorry can’t do that. My mother in law ask if they could empty the lasagne out of its bowl as it was to hot for her, his reply was no. Sorry to the owner o this lovely pub but I’m aware of staffing shortages but he is doing your reputation no good and only going to loose customers, I asked a few other people about their. Not good sorry. Food great, portions to large, prices ok. Beer prices good for lakes.

First visit. Very welcoming staff. Bar and dining area had a good mix of locals and weekend visitors. Extensive menu. Food was very good and service good too. Only downside for me was although food orders were taken at the table, drinks had to be ordered at the bar which felt a bit disjointed. Would happily visit again

Stumbled upon this pub when staying in Eskdale after driving back from Wast Water. Didn’t know what to expect but everyone was very sweet & friendly; a real community spirit. I was very surprised by the amount of veggie and vegan options on their menu. My partner & I both having the veggie roast. The £17 veggie roast was by far the tastiest veggie roast I’ve ever had & barely fit on the plate. Yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes, mashed potatoes, carrots, suede, parsnips, veggie haggis, red cabbage, greens & gravy. Amazing! Highly recommend stopping by on a Sunday if you’re nearby! Thanks to the staff for being so welcoming & for the delicious meal

Good food and great little pub, accommodation needs updating and more cleaning, standard approach to breakfast, need options especially with fruit juice as we had a diabetic and someone else who didn’t like orange juice there was no alternative

Pretty reasonable food at a fairly reasonable price. Nothing over exciting but it’s a warm inviting atmosphere and the service is pretty good considering how busy it is. Great selection of beers and we enjoyed the food! Could do with one or two fewer tables in the bar area to be honest!

The food is much more interesting than what is served at many pubs and the atmosphere is really friendly. We went at a busy time but were in now rush so we relaxed and enjoyed the whole evening.

The Scree inn does not stick to its opening times. Out of the four days we were there it was open once. The Strands Inn, which is owned by the same people, was too busy the woman sent us away. She was really rude!

Beautiful village,excellent food,staff very friendly will definitely be going again would definitely recommend?overall excellent

I stayed here with a mate for two nights as we walked up Scafell Pike. It was a lovely pub with some nice beer, great selection of Whisky and the food was amazing. Sadly, as I was tired from all the walking I didn't get the chance from working my way through the Whisky but I hope to return with my wife. I would stay here again

We chose to use this pub after searching for vegetarian options. Both vegetarians and meat eaters in our party were not disappointed. Food was excellent. The only downside was that a couple of choices were not available due to a late delivery. However, the brisket burger instead of the steak and ale pie was really good. Service was efficient and friendly. Well behaved dogs, and even slightly behaved ones like ours, are very welcome. The one pint i had (driving) of the Eeerrmm was great. Sorry if that’s spelt wrong. The pub is off the beaten track and tricky to drive to at night, but well worth the trip.

We chose to stay at The Strands Inn when looking for a base for a couple of nights to fell walk in Wasdale. We booked two twin rooms between four of us and its was at an excellent price. The rooms were both clean and welcoming and perfect for what we wanted. The Screes Inn opposite is own by the same people so we had accommodation and breakfast in the Strands and food and drink in the Screes Inn. The service was outstanding, one of our party commented that the owners, Mark and Lesley couldn't do enough for us. All the cask ales were outstanding and brewed on the premises by the landlord. The food was also nothing short of outstanding... Steak and Ale Slab Pie and Slow Cooked BBQ Ribs the following night... perfect home cooked, hearty food. They even make their own gin and sauces and chutneys! How they find the time to do all this is an indication of how hard they work at it! We will definitely be going back. Feel like we found a real gem in the Lakes. Cant wait to visit again!

the location isn't great, it is in the middle of nowhere. The pub is very small and not attractive at all, it doesn't really make you feel like sitting down and have a drink. Staff is not very experienced and not that friendly either. The room is small, as it is the bathroom. The sheets were dirty and the shower was blocked, with water rising to my ankles. The person that was sent to fix it didn't have a clue and promised that someone would come in the morning to sort it out. It didn't happen. We told the owner and she didn't even offer a refund, she just said: "these things happen and there is no way we can know about it". Well, if the cleaner does her job she will definitely notice that water isn't flowing as it should!!! Breakfast was a joke, a little amount of food, It definitely looks like they are trying to get as much money as possible. Almost 100£ a night for a place like this is just not fair.

Booked here last year but covid meant we had to postpone. Leslie was so accommodating with the rebooting. Just stayed for afew days woth friends to walk Scafell Pike. The room was comfortable, clean and had everything needed. Breakfast served both mornings and was so tasty Leslie takes the orders and I beleive its her hus and Mark who does breakfast. Geoff the chap behind the bar is so friendly and goes above and beyond to make sure you are ok as do Leslie, Mark and the rest of the staff. Had and evening meal one night and the portion and quality was amazing. It's such a lovely friendly place and great find, will definitely book again of we decide to explore other mountains in the area. Thankyou all for a great stay.

Great location, basic accommodation, unfortunately no dinner but good breakfast abs staff working hard………………………..

One of my favourite locations in the Lake District. Beautiful place to have a pub lunch especially on a Summers day. Enjoyed the food the service was quick and after the meal we took a stroll to Wastwater.

Excellent food, excellent beer. Good local meat, good variety on the menu. Came in at lunchtime for our big meal of the day, having phoned before knowing that their tables are reserved for residents in the evening. Great service, friendly staff. Will definitely return.

Today we stumbled across this public house after open swimming in Wass Water. What a find? Friendly staff, great pint of Guinness even my border terrier liked the smell of it. Will definitely return to this establishment.

We (My Wife and I) stayed at the campsite next door to The Screes Inn. Prior to our arrival, we emailed ahead to book an evening table for some food on 1 of the 2 nights we were staying. We were told that they were...

Stopped in for a pint after a day at Wast Water. All the beers were brewed on site and were great! DIdn't eat, but the food we saw looked great - MASSIVE portions!

Called in for a few beers while at the near by campsite, absolutely fine by my standards and the gentlemen behind the bar were friendly and welcoming, did exactly what it said on the tin, nice to sit outside in the sun, lovely location.

After driving for 8 hours from the Scottish Highlands and walking from our campsite, my friend and I simply wanted a solitary pint of beer each. We approached the bar which had no queue and we were refused service at approximately 8pm because they were...

Absolutely horrific service. Owner was rude and acted like he did not want us there at all, I'm surprised they decides to run a pub.

Me and my girlfriend were on a romantic trip away, assuming the local pub would be more than accommodating for a pint and a meal. The biasedness we experienced was awful. Only locals were allowed to order food, whilst a the very few other of...

When we arrived at this Inn, the landlord greeted us as though he wasn’t even sure that he wanted the business and this remained the tenor for our visit. Before we entered we asked whether dogs were allowed and the landlord dithered before finally spluttering...

Walked into the bar ... passing about 20 people sitting / standing outside drinking ... only to be ask if I was a 'walk in' or a resident. I responded that we were looking for a drink and were sitting outside. I was then informed...

We came here to book in to our room only to find out that we get the keys from the Strands across from this pub and are told that both pubs have the same owners , food was not served after 2 pm and started...

Really enjoyed this as a place to eat, a wide range of food and really helpful staff. Nice location not too far from Wastwater. On the road and easy to find in the village centre.

Not sure this place really wants to be in business. Beer was pretty good but staff not very welcoming. It’s the only place open in the area and food was being brought out all around us. Asked for a menu but, as noted by others,...

We stayed here for two nights and ate in the pub both nights. The food and atmosphere were excellent - busy and staff rushed off their feet for a little while on the Sunday night but it was still a great meal. I will be...

Three of us (wife daughter and two babies ). Live locally and have visited this establishment for 40 years . Overall things have improved over the years . We three adults had fish and chips as the menu was limited due to C19. The fish...

We stayed here for two nights planned around a hike up Scafell Pike. Wasdale Head is around 20 mins drive away, so it’s a great base for walkers. We had drinks and ate here both nights. We were very impressed with the room (most comfortable...

What started off really well, ended up absolutely rubbish. We were staying at the local camp site and planned to have a bbq one night then eat here or The Strands one night.We went on the Friday night to be told that they were only feeding residents but coild get a table for drinks, which we were fine with. The guy who i think was maybe the manager, said if we came back on Saturday between 12-4 they will definitely feed us before residents come for their meal.So planned our day around going to eat there. Got there on the Saturday and was told there would be a 40 minute wait for food, again that is fine. So we sat and had a few pints while waiting. Only to be told after about 50 minutes that there was a 'fault' in the kitchen and they couldnt offer us a meal. Unable to drive elsewhere we were obviously a little pissed off. But they were also letting down families with young kids, who had also sat waiting.Dont actually think there was a fault at all, cos we when asked they said it was a fryer...with another kitchen over the road im sure this could of resolved the situation. Assuming also they managed to feed the people staying there. Shame because the menu looked great, but seemed they had taken on more than they could manage. Could do with hiring more staff!

Lovely location,friendly staff and good food and drink. Good menu choice for both food and drink,prompt service, brew their own ales.

I stopped here for a meal and 2 pints of beer, during my 194 mile Wainwright's remote Lakeland walk. It was possibly the best pub meal and beer that I've ever had. Recommended.

Unwelcoming and rude landlady. We were asked to leave in front of the whole pub because we live NEAR a tier 3 area and we didn't have the Covid app, so couldn't scan the QR code. Although we were happy to give our details for track and trace like we have in every other place we have visited. I have never been so embarrassed, literally made to feel like we were diseased. Both my husband and I are front line key workers. Seems the 'we're all in it together' has been long forgotten. Please avoid unless you can prove you have the right to be there.

We have just checked out of this lovely place. We stayed 3 nights and enjoyed every minute. The food is beautiful and the portions are very generous. Some great beers and reasonably priced wine! Mark and Lesley are warm and friendly hosts and all the staff are attentive. The Covid procedures were well organised and we felt safe! We will definitely return. Thank you for a wonderful few days.

So good to walk in from the rain to a log fire. Cosy pub and good food. We’ve been here before as the vegetarian options are varied and the food always good. We’d had a big breakfast so thought we’d order a light lunch from sandwich menu - haha, huge portions with fresh salad on the side. The hummus comes with fresh baked pitta. The halloumi fries are chunky and come with a chilli dip. Food is wonderful and great value. Highly recommended.

Visited The Screes Inn before a walk to nearby lakes. Didn't know what to expect at all, but was pleased with the varied menu. Ordered the signature burger and was absolutely blown away - an enormous piece of brisket with the freshest, tastiest accompaniments in a most generous portion. One of the best burgers I've ever eaten, what a meal! Will certainly return.

We stayed over the road for two nights when climbing Scarfell Pike and it was absolutely perfect - great breakfast and the food at the pub was ideal - especially as I am a coeliac - there were gluten free fish and chips! Staff were all really helpful and all COVID procedures were great.

Don't leave many reviews but just left the screes pub. I had the dirty burger and my fiance had the vegetarian one and we both said it was the best burgers we'd ever had. Covid friendly, nice atmosphere, reasonably priced.

Went for Sunday lunch. Roast dinner - huge portions. They also do vegetarian and vegan. Great selection of local ales - the Red Screes was a winner. Will definitely return

Entonces este tipo entra en un pub. . . después de un largo viaje de senderismo por las montañas.NO COMIDA, NO WIFI exclama agresivamente el pelirrojo detrás de la barra.Solo los residentes pueden comer aquí. Sí, lo entiendo, estamos en tiempos extrañosMiras a tu alrededor, mesas vacías y muchas de ellas vacías con un pequeño letrero reservado en ellas, cada una separada por un divisor de cartón barato derribado (COVID).Durante mis cinco noches en el campamento local (entre semana), ni un día nos saludan con una sonrisa o una respuesta útil del personal.Claramente, no dirigido a mí, otros lugareños del campamento que querían hacerles negocios terminaron consiguiendo otro pub muy amigable para entregar comida directamente al campamento; me quito el sombrero ante elNoche tras noche. NO HAY COMIDA, NO WIFI, SOLO RESIDENTES.Al menos una cuarta parte de las mesas en el interior se quedaron vacías a pesar de las barreras de COVID, las señales raídas y la falta de continuidad en torno a las respuestas de COVID. A veces te preguntan sobre tu información de seguimiento y rastreo. Algunas noches no lo haces.Los propietarios y el personal deben animarse, el negocio se veía bien, aunque la mayor parte del tiempo todos estaban afuera, ya que todas las mesas del interior estaban "reservadas" para nadie.Lo único a favor de este lugar es su cerveza. SIN COMIDA, SIN WIFI, SOLO RESIDENTES!

With the fairy lights and the hops hanging up it reminded me of a magical grotto-the kids loved it. Nice food and good beer selection. Screens to separate the tables. Overall very lovely place and would recommend.

Cuando llegamos a esta posada, el propietario nos saludó como si ni siquiera estuviera seguro de querer el negocio y este siguió siendo el tenor de nuestra visita. Antes de entrar, preguntamos si se permitían perros y el propietario dudó antes de finalmente balbucear una afirmación. En el establecimiento, mi socio preguntó si el pub ofrecía algún whisky local y recibió un brusco "no". Mientras escogía un whisky le pregunté si podía tomar un té ya que no bebo alcohol. Para nuestro asombro, el propietario dijo que no tenía agua y que no podía proporcionar bebidas calientes, a pesar de ser también un hotel. Nos sentimos tan incómodos y las pantallas de cartón y plástico entre cada mesa aún se suman a esto. Sabemos que todo el mundo le tiene mucho miedo a COVID, y que él sintió que estas medidas eran necesarias, pero la actitud cortante, desagradable y poco acogedora no lo es, y si quieres disfrutar del Distrito de los Lagos sin personal hosco, lleva tu dinero a otra parte. El único consuelo que nos puede quitar nuestra visita a este pub es que era un día muy lluvioso y teníamos los pies empapados, así que mi pareja aprovechó, después de nuestro tratamiento, para escurrirse los calcetines en la chimenea.

Just perfect. Amazing food surrounded by amazing scenery, brisket burger was delicious and the staff were friendly and helpful. Definitely worth visiting if you are in the area

Would highly recommend. Friendly and helpful owners and staff. We loved every minute of this place. Vegan options were delicious and the pizza was fantastic. Micro brews were some of the best we’ve had in the UK MAKE SURE TO ASK FOR THR BOTTLE LIST!!

We ordered the ciabattas and got loads of food. Walk was a bit tricky afterwards! Good price for the area. Friendly staff and seemed to be following all covid guidelines well too. Shame you couldn't book for lunch so it was a bit of a risk when we went in peak time but got a table ok. Lots of really good veggie and vegan options.

Just returned from a fabulous staycation camping in the nearby Church Stile site. Had a few visits to the pub as you would expect and always a warm welcome. Sunday roast dinner, limited choice of meats but truly fantastic, the veg, cauli cheese, braised red cabbage, honey roasted parsnips plus the usual trimmings... Who needs meat?Also had the fish and chips my wife had ribs both superb.Had breakfast one morning, again faultless. I simply can't praise the place or recommend highly enough. New Covid rules followed so you feel safe. Outstanding job. Thanks.

Delicious food. Hearty portions. Well worth a visit. Lovely owners working hard under challenging Covid conditions.Although there was no room at the inn the first night we called, I was able to book in for the next night. Very glad we persevered as food offer was top notch. Highlights for our party were the Chicken Madras with homemade bhaji, Ham, egg and chips which would satisfy the heartiest of appetites and Cumberland sausage which defeated our daughter but half came home with us for a late night snack! The Chilli was very tasty too. Lovely to sit outside in the early evening sunshine. Seems a very popular place and I can understand why.

Very pleased with our meals here - and were pleasantly surprised to find gluten-free options here too! The gluten free fish and chips were amazing and the chef had whipped up a gluten free batter especially. Crispy batter and hot flakey fish - delicious! Not something you often find as a coeliac.There are also some lovely sounding vegan options on the menu. The portions were huge, the staff are friendly and the atmosphere is cosy and warm.

We visited here twice this week whilst camping nearby. They were very friendly and proficient. The real ales were really good and the food was amazing. Not easy to get to but well worth the trip.

Great friendly pub , great food, beer .. You get a very friendly greeting by the staff it has a excellent beer garden with a great atmosphere. You won’t be disappointed

Spent last weekend here on the two night offer for our silver wedding anniversary.The room was basic but clean and had a comfy bed and cleaned daily. I had asked them to put a bottle of wine in our room and this was there decorated with ribbon on arrival. Breakfast was lovely and the lady who served us (sorry didn’t get your name) was really friendly and suggested different places for us to visit. We ate in the pub both nights and all the meals were amazing. Would definitely recommend the steak pie and also the sirloin steak. All the staff were really helpful and friendly and made you feel welcome. Try the beers from the pubs micro brewery. We brought some bottles home with us they were that good. Would definitely recommend this place and we will definitely visit again.

We stayed for three nights and the owners made every effort to meet our needs and were particularly helpful on one occasion. The room was a little small but the bed was comfortable which is probably all you really need. Food was nice (typical pub grub) but catered well for vegan and vegetarians. However, the portions were enormous - too much for us! Really lovely walk to the lake with stunning views. Recommend especially if you really want to get away from it all.

I stayed here for work and from arrival to leaving nothing was to much trouble for the hosts. They were great. The food was well presented and the potty were plentiful I would definitely stay here again and recommend to anyone who was visiting the area

Nos alojamos aquí por 2 noches, la habitación tenía un tamaño decente con cama doble y cama individual. Un poco anticuado, pero es de esperar en una antigua posada de campo. Cenamos aquí y estábamos más que satisfechos. Enormes porciones de comida muy sabrosa. Fuego rugiente, acogedor bar que sirve cervezas y whisky reales, como siempre. ¡Ideal para excursionistas que salen del frío! ! El personal y el propietario / señora siempre servicial y alegre! Volveremos.

After walking for miles had the most amazing ribs at the screes Inn my husband had stayed years ago and had gone on about the food didn't disappoint the staff were very friendly all the family had lovely meals also lots of vegetarian options

My husband and myself were staying close by and wanted somewhere to have an evening meal. We needed somewhere we could take our dog with a good choice for myself as a vegetarian.I wasn’t disappointed. There was plenty of choice and I enjoyed the Homity Pie. The portion size was generous without being over facing.There was a good atmosphere and staff were attentive without being over bearing.We would definitely return.

Después de pasar el día en Scafell Pike, estábamos buscando algo de cenar. No habíamos reservado (que definitivamente deberías), así que entramos y preguntamos si podíamos sentarnos en una mesa que estaba reservada para una reserva en 2 horas. Felizmente nos sentaron y nos dieron de comer. Los tamaños de las porciones son realmente grandes, ¡y las costillas eran increíbles! ! Junto con la pizza y pescado y patatas fritas también pedimos. El personal fue muy amable y dispuesto a complacernos. - No tomé ninguna foto de comida, ¡porque se veía tan sabrosa que nos quedamos atrapados y nos la comimos toda!

I deliberately came to visit the Screes Inn after learning they served vegan cuisine. I was greeted with a warm welcome and the atmosphere was very relaxing (especially with the roaring log fire) I'm currently vegetarian slowly transitioning to a plant based diet and the menu didn't disappoint. I would highly recommend the Sticky Jackfruit Bites as a starter. The meals were really filling, just what you need if you've been spending a day on the fells. There are meat dishes on the menu if plant based/vegetarian isn't your thing. I will definitely be back to try some of the other meals. Very happy indeed. Thank you.

Llamado después de un buen día en las colinas. Buena selección de cerveza, un montón de opciones vegetarianas / veganas en el menú. Por mucho que me encanta el bistec y la tarta de cerveza y todos los menús habituales sospechan que fue realmente bueno ver algo diferente. La cosa de Jack fruit starter fue buena, un amigo tenía las alas de coliflor, me encantó. El pastel de Homity fue abundante y delicioso. . . el chile de carne era pechuga no picada, simple toque pero rara vez visto en otro lugar. ¡Una comida perfecta después de un gran día! Como decía el eslogan de Terminator Beer. . . Ale ser negro

Lots of great vegan pub classics, big portions- perfect after climbing the hills. Friendly service. A real find in this beautiful part of the country.

We only stopped for lunch during a rainy hike but were made to feel most welcome, we were dripping wet and tha land lady took out waterproofs and hung them in a drying room while we were in the bar. It’s a lovely classic Lakeland pub with loads of character and the most incredible beers which are brewed on site along with an excellent menu. Great location great service thanks.

If your in the area this is the place to eat, very fresh home cooked food. Excellent pizzas and burgers and fish and chips. Lovely wine and a great selection of ales with the friendliest of staff.

In the screes in the food was great really tasty large portions every meal I had was so good 100%.the staff were so polite and friendly and it was good to inform the chef to for her great cooking

Fun lively pub, great service and great pub food. Pizzas are excellent as are the ribs. Great for kids. Local brewed beer. Gets busy because it’s good!

Me and my wife went to the scree after eating the day before at its sister pub over the toad called the strand. There are 2 very different menus and after trying the menu at the strand we wanted to sample the scree menu. My wife had the scree burger and I had the hoisin duck pizza with a side of chips. The pizza was really large and freshly made and was excellent and you got a larger than expected portion of chips so much so that I asked for a takeaway box for half of my pizza to eat later. My wife really enjoyed the burger and found it to be more than enough. The staff are pleasant and even though it was busy and we had not booked they managed to fit us in after a little wait. It is very dog friendly as long as your dog is well behaved and they sell dog biscuits and poo bags for a pound and it’s a bargain. I recommend booking in advance so as not to be disappointed and try and get in early as they can sell out of somethings quickly but that to me is a sign of a good place to eat. Thank you so much for a great evening.

The Screes is one of two inns in this hamlet, the other being the Strands. They are obviously under the same management. We ate at the Strands on Monday, when the Screes is closed. We booked by phone with no problem, using the Strands' phone number. We phoned the Screes' number on Wednesday and booked a table, which is recommended on this site, as they get very busy. We were expected and had an enjoyable meal and drink, with beer from the Strands' microbrewery across the road.

The service was superb and the pint of Scarfell Summit went down very well. The food was very good and overall we enjoyed our meals. I would recommend.

The food here was amazing! Huge portions and good hearty food. Highly recommend you visit. Was on a sunny day and the views were equally as good

Perfectly acceptable clean and comfortable rooms in a pub. Quiet location, power shower, kettle, TV and wi-fi.

Lovely traditional country pub with warm and welcoming staff, good food, beer and atmosphere that was almost spoiled by the incident mentioned in another recent review, however the staff handled this superbly much to the relief of all the other customers in both pubs at the time. Keep up the good work guys

When we arrived the guys behind the bar in the inn were brilliant, we knew we were thier too early to book into our room, sat and chatted with the locals, we liked the place so much we even booked in for a few more nights with out seeing the room, then we went over the road to the hotel,and that is where it went down hill very fast, we had a natter with the bar staff, a young man and a young lady, after a drink we went back over to the inn, then the land lady come to talk to us we had said something to the saff over the road that they didnt like, the manager called us rude, for speaking up, we felt as if we werent wanted thier, we emailed them before we even booked a room, to ask about a walk in shower in our room, as we both find it hard to walk, they answered us by saying they can accomidate us, when we did get up to our room, it was no bigger that a prison cell, the tv was as big as a lap top screen, the shower you couldnt swing a cat in, and it was on the top floor, 2 flights of stairs. If you have any cence dont waste your money thier. Their are better places to stay,

This pub offers a more bar snack alternative to The Strands across the road, which tends to do more of an a la carte type offering, but if you want pizza, burger etc, this is we're you can get it.

Después de tener que abortar nuestro ascenso por Scarfell Pike, todos nos sentimos un poco deprimidos. Nos alojamos en el YHA local, así que fuimos en busca de cerveza y comida.

Me alojé en Nether Wasdale para unas vacaciones familiares de una semana. Elegimos comer en el Screes Inn en nuestra última noche.

Visitamos a finales de abril después de un paseo decente con nuestro Labrador. El Screes Inn ha sido mejorado mucho por los nuevos propietarios (el Strands Inn and Brewery en la carretera). Su carácter se ha mantenido recién actualizado y tiene un ambiente encantador y un personal amable. Tuve una pinta de Scafell Summit que fue muy buena. Teníamos un almuerzo de pub de jamón, huevo y papas fritas. Las raciones eran grandes, bien cocinadas y las patatas fritas son realmente las mejores. Recomiendo encarecidamente una visita.

Visitamos la posada screes dos veces durante nuestra visita al campamento de la iglesia.

Excelente ubicación y nos atrajo la micro cervecería en el lugar.

Great place. Stunning food. Amazing ales and beers, friendly and helpful staff. Need I say anymore apart for highly recommend! Hope to visit again when I'm home next. Can't wait. Thank you.

I visited when staying with a friend at the nearby YHA Wasdale.

First time I have ate and stayed at the pub in two years. New management and a great improvement, great beer and food and the staff really good. Had the Cheese and Onion pie and the Ribs next night. Recommended..

Went for a lovely meal. The staff were so friendly, chatty and welcoming (especially the manager). The food was pub food with a fantastic vegetarian and vegan selection. The manager even asked if I had any allergies so went above and beyond the call. The pub was busy but still felt as though we were very much valued as a customer.

We had previously stopped for a pint, liked it so ended up in there for dinner one night. The staff were really very friendly indeed and most helpful. It's classic old world lake land character and decoration. We went on a Saturday early evening so lots of folk finishing the days walking in there which is great and as it should be. The menu for this pub was all American style or German sausages which we had , very tasty and generous portions which we all enjoyed. Our experience was great and we will visit again, it would be nice to see a slight variation on the menu but we have absolutely no complaints

Weekend in The Lakes with a friend, we popped in here for dinner. I had the bbq pulled pork burger with chips and coleslaw, very Tasty, good portion size, extra bbq sauce when asked always a bonus. Good ale too! Friendly Staff, really nice pub in a fantastic location for visiting WastWater. There's a pub opposite too which serves good ale. Great atmosphere in both.

We had a family meal here earlier this week. The menu is American diner/tex mex with burgers, giant German sausage hot dogs, ribs, chilli etc with an odd pub favourite such as cheese and onion pie thrown in. The food was OK and service fine to say how busy it was. Don’t think we’d come back though.

We went to the lakes for a short weekend away and came across this pub- staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating and made room for us on both nights we went despite them being super busy. The food was fantastic and good value for money. Staff couldn’t do enough for you and obviously were working really hard to meet the demand. Would definitely recommend, would recommend booking as it does get busy. Couldn’t fault it.

arrived at 8:15 after a day of walking since 3am and famished, we were advised walk in till 9pm so very dissapointed to be turned away, lpenty of room and all we wanted was a bowl of chips or something to eat! "sorry fully booked and chef goes home at 9pm" (on a busy saturday night!!, poor cusotmer service, fine example of a pub reliant on passing trade so they dont care about how they treat you, luckily the local B&B; that was closed! - offerred us food!

This is our second visit to the strands micro brewery/screes inn. It’s important to note when booking that these are 2...yes 2 separate locations!! They are directly opposite one another, owned by the same people apparently but they are 2 very VERY different experience’s in my experience...let me explain....we visited THE STRANDS last year, we stayed there, ate there...it was BRILLIANT..probably my favourite retreat I’d been too, great people, awesome food etc, so imagine my excitement on my 40th birthday when my brand spanking new wife told me she had booked us a minimoon break at THE STRANDS! I was chuffed!

A little chaotic at times but lovely food and helpful staff! Dog friendly and the local beer is excellent! Prepare for busy times to lead to oddities with the service but worth it!

We enjoyed our meal, having booked a table. Three of us chose the cajun salmon. It took a long time to arrive, luckily we weren't in a hurry. The jacket potato could have been hot but otherwise it was a tasty meal. We enjoyed the superb Malbec while we were waiting. The waitress did aplogise for the delay. All staff were friendly

Visited this pub on Sunday 3 June for something to eat. What a let down. The customer service we received was extremely negative. The food was average - I didn't get what was described to accompany my chilli con carne. We weren't made to feel welcome and the staff just seemed like they wanted to 'shut up shop'. Unfortunately I would not visit again for food.

We were staying at the campsite in Nether Wasdale and so went for a beer in the Screes Inn.

Lovely food reasonably priced with good service! We ignored the more negative reviews and headed here for food and drinks. Menu was good, with plenty of veggie and vegan options. Service was quick and polite and atmosphere was lovely. Recommend 👍

Dropped in for lunch at this pub because they allow dogs in. The place was practically empty when we arrived at about 12.30 We waited some time for the food to arrive so not sure what the hold up was but on the whole it was ok despite being an overly adventurous menu. I suggest they stick to some traditional well known favourites and a less "nandoesc" style of food. Not sure if we would visit again or perhaps give the pub opposite a try.

Somehow we managed to spend £90 here, despite waiting 45 minutes for our starters! No one to greet us when we arrived, I had to go and hunt down menus because no one brought us any!

Comfortable room and friendly staff who made us feel very welcome. Lovely food in both the hotel and the pub. Would highly recommend!

After three nights of awful food at the Wasdale Head Inn, some people at our B and B recommended this place. It was worth the short drive and we wished we'd done it earlier in the week. After sampling the ales on order our pints were brought over to our table after a very friendly welcome. We then ate a tasty chilli con carne at a very reasonable price. And a word about The Trainee Manager who looked after us most attentively. It was a shame we were going home next day.
