Went to the Drunken Duck for dinner and it was beautiful. Walked there from Grasmere and pre-booked a cab back. Easily the most beautiful walk to dinner I've ever been on, and those picnic tables are a pretty top tier place to drink a beer. What a VIEW! Hotel highlights: Great view

As a Visitor, wanting to experience a true flavour of The Lake District, in terms of Location/Scenery, Local Ales/Locally sourced Produce to eat, and Local Hospitality, you hope to find a real Gem of a Pub like this. It 's certainly, off the beaten track , and is frequented by, those in the know (in our case, my Wife, who had been there prior to us meeting), Walkers/Cyclists/Car Trippers who stumble across it by chance, and most importantly, the Locals. Best to book, if you 're wanting to eat Evening Meal there; it 's served in the Dining Room Area, so spaces are limited, and they fill up VERY quickly. The interior of the Pub is extremely, homely and Traditional, with Retro Signs, Notices, and Adverts, adorning the Walls of the Main Bar Area. Toilets are spotless, and accessible to all Guests. The Car Park is in a, Clearing opposite the Pub, and there are Seating Areas in the Main Bar Area/Dining Room, immediately outside the Pub, and on Benches across the Road from the Pub (which provide stunning views of the Locale). Want to know about the best Local Ales? Ask one of the Locals, who are extremely welcoming, and more than happy to share their knowledge with you (we settled on Tag Hag, and Brathay Gold). The Pub also has its own Micro Brewery, and we look forward to working our way through these particular Ales, at some point! Cannot recommend The Drunken Duck, highly enough. Go and see for yourself!

Went to the Drunken Duck with friends for a delicious meal, where every course and dish we had was amazing! The menu changes every day, and they offer a £55 3 course menu for dinner. We were spoilt for choice and they even had fantastic vegan options across all courses. Will definitely be back next time I visit the Lakes! Service: 5
