Contrary to one or two recent reviews we found the staff very friendly and helpful. The room was above the kitchen which was not ideal but it was very comfortable and perfectly adequate and it is a pub after all, not a hotel. The food was excellent. Afternoon tea is provided but as we arrived too late we were able... More

Just stayed at the Drunken Duck and had a fabulous time. I am already planning a return trip. The room was not particularly large but very comfortable and spotlessly clean .The food was delicious, there was a great atmosphere in the bar and the staff were excellent.

We had a night here last weekend. The room was clean and comfy and the homemade duck shortbread in the room was a lovely treat. We stayed in room 6 which is above the kitchen so very noisy and the extraction fan was really loud! It did have a lovely view of the Courtyard. The afternoon tea was lovely. We... More

After being recommended this restaurant for a special treat, I booked a table for my Husband's birthday. When we arrived the bar area was absolutely full to bursting and it was a bit difficult to communicate to the bar staff what drinks we wanted. A kind local man allowed me his seat as he was leaving but otherwise we would... More

Ate at the restaurant on a rainy Thursday night and the place was buzzing! Food was excellent, staff were great. The scallop were particularly excellent! Not cheap but certainly not expensive compared to other local places. Will return!

We weren't able to get reservations for dinner, but we stop by for a memorable lunch at the Drunken Duck. The food was very good and the out of the way atmosphere, made this a trip to remember. Would recommend you add this to your next trip to the Lake District...it will help make your trip enjoyable!

My husband took me away to the Lakes for a 3 day weekend as a birthday treat. The staff, food and location of the Drunken Duck are all excellent. We had a small room but the bed was comfortable and we had a nice bath (which was needed after an all day walk). We ate dinner there every night and... More

Food - terrible. Had the pigeon - raw!!!! Duck, breast undercooked and chewy, confit leg nearly burned... Not enough light for dining and no music...no atmosphere whatsoever... Rude waitress, didn't accept polite criticism (which she asked for). Won't go there ever again.

We stopped here from lunch following a long walk. The atmosphere is great with a lovely welcoming fire and friendly staff. We only had sandwiches but they were great and served efficiently. Beware the price of a glass if wine - 2 glasses over £15 which seems a bit steep and outdoes London prices! Good place to go, would go... More
