The staff were so lovely! They made us feel right at home as soon as we arrived. Service was quick and friendly, which is perfect when you&#39;re catching up with friends and don&#39;t want to wait around.

After our hike, the steak and ale pie was a proper comfort meal. The Stilton gave it a nice sharp kick. The menu looked good, but honestly, I was too hungry to even think about the other options.

Been here twice now. The food&#39;s really good. Friday evenings are packed, but Saturday mornings are much more relaxed.

Our go-to spot for catching up with friends. The food is always solid, and the drinks are spot on. Service is friendly and quick, so we never feel rushed. Just a really reliable place for a group.

Popped in for a late lunch. The shepherd&#39;s pie bites were a lovely surprise! Really appreciated how fresh the ingredients tasted, especially the peas and carrots in the filling. The meat was lean and well-seasoned. A nice, lighter take on a classic comfort dish.

Been coming here for years. The fish pie&#39;s always spot on - creamy, flaky, and the mash on top is just right. It&#39;s the one thing I know I can count on.

Popped in for a Sunday roast on a whim. Sat outside, which was lovely. The roast beef was spot on, really tender. Decent pint selection too. Bit of a wait for the food, but worth it on a sunny afternoon.

Came for the Sunday roast. The beef was spot on, and the Yorkshire pudding was huge. Good portion of veg too. Felt like a proper Sunday meal without breaking the bank.

Parking was a breeze, which is always a plus. The food arrived promptly and piping hot. My only note is that the wine list felt a bit limited for the menu&mdash;a more thoughtful pairing selection would really complement those hearty dishes.

The small plates menu is a real winner after their recent tweaks. The grilled octopus was spot on, and the burrata with heirloom tomatoes was super fresh. Perfect for sharing with a couple of friends.

The staff were so kind to fit us in for a birthday without a reservation. They even brought out our cake, which was a lovely touch.

Been coming here for years. The staff always remember my name and my usual order. That&#39;s what keeps me coming back.

Had a private do here. James and the team were brilliant, really on it. Kept popping over to make sure we were all good. The BBQ spread was generous, everyone got fed.

Go here every Saturday, food excellent,All staff from bar kitchen servers are brilliant make you feel welcome. I recommend the Thomas Drummond good food,great service very cheap on price.

Booked for a busy Monday, got seated fast. Menu&#39;s huge, portions are massive. Had the steak frites, cooked just right. Quick and solid for a weeknight dinner.

The beef pie was the star for me. Flaky pastry, rich filling, just spot on. Honestly the best I&#39;ve had. The rest of the meal was nice, but that pie made the visit.

Been a few times now, always a good time. They&#39;ve got those outdoor heaters and blankets, really makes a difference on a cool evening. Music&#39;s just right, not too loud. It&#39;s a nice, relaxed spot.

Lovely spot after a long walk in the North Pennines. They have a really good selection of local ales. The staff were friendly and the seating was comfortable, which was just what I needed.

Popped in for lunch. The grilled salmon was really good, fresh and cooked just right. Service was quick and friendly. Might stop by again if I&#39;m in the area.

Love the quirky decor here. Staff are really friendly too. Their 6% pub IPA is solid, and the fridges have some interesting finds.

Came for the Grinch breakfast event, they handled a packed pub of kids brilliantly. My full English was spot on. The real highlight was their house bloody mary - a proper kick, really made the morning. The Grinch himself was a riot with the little ones.

Perfect spot for a pre-dinner drink, right by the Town Hall. We had a lovely glass of red on the terrace before heading off. The wine list was decent, a good selection by the glass. A bit pricey for the area, but you&#39;re paying for that central location.

The sticky toffee sundae was the star for me. The warm, gooey sauce with the cold ice cream was just right. We tried a few of the small plates too, decent variety for the price.

Popped in for lunch with friends last week. We all got the salmon special with prawns and veg - the creamy sauce was spot on. Good for sharing a few plates and a catch-up. Might be back when I&#39;m next in Bowness.

Been coming here for years, and the dog biscuit is a nice touch. Our spaniel always gets one, makes it feel like a proper local. Tables are always clean, staff are friendly. It&rsquo;s just a reliable spot.

Just popped in for a pint after they opened. Had the place to myself, which was quiet. Bartender was a friendly chap, happy to chat. The ale was spot on, really well-kept. A proper local feel.

Loved the lamb skewers! The patatas bravas are honestly the best I&#39;ve had. The cosy, Sicilian vibe is just right for a relaxed catch-up with friends. We ended up staying for ages.

Good pub food and a nice range of ales. Staff were really helpful squeezing us in when it was packed.

Caught the match here last night. The big screens are perfect for watching, really clear from most seats. It gets quite lively when it&#39;s busy, which is fun. A good spot if you want to watch the game with a pint.
