The premise of a restaurant at a brewery is great, and indeed the ale was great! Food-wise, it was wholesome enough with a good beefburger and Katsu chicken burger. The chips were not especially good. The restaurant is more cafe than bistro/restaurant-like. A coach party arrived whilst we were there changing the wholesome dynamic. The staff were pleasant throughout, and it is certainly popular, which says something!

I thought it was just the Ennerdale brewery and an outlet shop. I was wrong. First place I have been excited to have found in a while. Loved it. The atmosphere, the friendly staff, the sloped ceiling and decour. But most importantly the food. The pies were fresh, full of filling and not too much pastry. The chips and gravy were amazing and the vegetables perfectly cooked and fresh. Plus a good choice of Ennerdale beer. My only complaint is the Dark was not on, hopefully next time. I will be coming back and looking forward to it.

An excellent Sunday lunch, one of the best I have ever had. Great Yorkshire’s and tender meat that melt in mouth. Excellent vegetables and big portions. Beer was excellent and the staff give great service. Highly recommend!
