We go here often for a special occasion as it is a bit out of the way for us. Excellent menu with really good, tasty food with lovely fresh ingredients. Always nice, helpful staff whether we go as a couple or with the whole family. Really great old pub atmosphere, would definitely recommend it.

I always worry that by telling you how great a place is, you'll go there in your droves and spoil it. Fortunately, the F&P will not appeal to anyone other than those who love peace and quiet, good service, and great food. We had a 2 night, b&b plus evening meal deal and it was superb. The room would not... More

I have been a regular visitor to this country inn for a number of years now. It is without doubt the best experience I have ever had in any establishment in this country or abroad.

A deightful meal in... More

My wife said the sizzling prawn & wraps dish she had was the tastiest meal she had eaten for some time. The breakfast was also heaerty. The landlord and locals in... More

I stayed at the pub whilst conducting business in nearby Carlisle. The accomodation is very comfortable and the rooms are very clean. The food is very nice and very plentiful and if you order the cheese board ensure that you have another person to share it with. The staff are all very friendly and make you feel very welcome. They... More

Love going there. Food is just what you want and tasty. Was not sure about the lamb and mint pudding but pleased I tried it. But after seeing the Sunday lunches I do wish I'd gone for one of them. Sweets are delish and thank goodness you have the choice for them to come without cream.
