Pooley Bridge, British, Traditional Restaurant Guide

“Newly renovated and as charming as ever” – this Cumbrian pub is in the same stable as well-known Askham Hall and is again winning strong all-round ratings in our survey (having been forced to close till mid-2023 after a fire). One fan notes: “It was by pure chance that our holiday house was across the road from this fine establishment. How fortunate we were! We enjoyed a fabulous Sunday lunch, and the veg was particularly good (including turnip and kalette!)”.
