The Pheasant Inn

"Peaceful inn with lovely views of the fells"
Overview
Below the fell on the edge of the beautiful Lune Valley is this sleepy hamlet with its whitewashed 18th-century coaching inn. It’s perfectly situated for exploring the Dales, the Trough of Bowland and the Cumbrian Lakes. The Wilson family and staff ensure a warm welcome in the bar and stylish oak-panelled dining room. Guest ales and beers from Black Sheep can be sampled while perusing the interesting menu which mixes home-grown seasonal produce from valley farms with favourite recipes from foreign fields: starters, for example, include panko-coated king prawns with carrot and mouli noodles; or black pepper smoked mackerel with creamed cheese and smoked salmon roulade. Follow that with tenderloin of pork with black truffle risotto; or pheasant breast wrapped in smoked bacon with onion stuffing. The excellent dessert choice ranges from old fashioned sticky toffee pudding, to brandy and apricot parfait. Food can be served on the lawn in fine weather.

About the area
Cumbria's rugged yet beautiful landscape is best known for the Lake District National Park that sits within its boundaries. It’s famous for Lake Windermere, England’s largest lake, and Derwent Water, ‘Queen of the English Lakes', but other lesser-known areas in the south, such as the Lune Valley and the coastal towns, are secret gems of wide cobbled streets and rolling hills.
