This 17C village inn has been sympathetically restored by Cumbrian born-and-bred couple Kevin and Nicola Tickle – and the locals are loving them for it. Kevin’s inspiration for the tasting menu comes from the seasons, the surroundings, his imagination and his local foraging knowledge. They may be described in a playful way on the menu, but the dishes reveal real depth and originality. On certain days all tables are served at the same time, so be prepared to arrive promptly.
